My husband and I had been to Pondcherry on the 18th and 19th of May 2012. To begin with we reached 2 hrs before check-in, we had to wait for 2 hrs till the previous couple checked-out. We spend our time having B/F. Leaving aside all that the owner was very nice and friendly. He gave us the map to... More

We stayed in L'escale for 2 nights in Feb '12. We had booked the 'Tilak' room 3 months in advance. Also we had re-confirmed the booking by email a week earlier & again when we landed in Chennai on the day of the booking. Yet when we reached there, the manager told us that there was some plumbing problem in... More

The hotel is safe, clean, confortable & decorated with charm - very good value for money in Puducherry Request a room with no window on the stairs/street & avoid ground floor if you cannot sleep through a great deal of noise Breakfast on the roof is a must either you stay there or not Staff is accomodating and helpful More

We only got to stay three days in L'Escale due to full booking. We would definetely have stayed longer if possible.

The room is still very nice, well... More

Mixed feelings for this guest house. It is very well situated and nicely done up, and the breakfast on the seaview terrasse is beautiful. The rooms are well decorated but stuffy, damp and hot despite the A/C (which was not the case in all the other guest houses where we stayed). More

Found owner to be confrontational and unfriendly. My travel itinerary had changed and I no longer required my booking on those dates. When I told owner (giving over 24hours notice) I was lectured about how little respect I had for the guesthouse and how much trouble I had caused.  In the end I stayed at the park view guesthouse, a...

I booked the annexe of this hotel because of the last review on T.A. We were told to arrive at L'escale guest house itself, so I gave Nicholas the time we would be arriving at, and duly arrived to be told that having unloaded our bags, we would need to get a rickshaw to the annexe (Nicholas had my mobile...

Awesome place. Well maintained, clean, petite rooms. A 2 min walk away from Goubert Avenue (the promenade which overlooks the rocky beach). Nestled in the French town, you're never more than a km away from all the 'happening' places. Really close to some good restaurants/pubs (Asian House, Le Club, La Cafe, Seagulls). The guesthouse itself has 8 rooms. The best... More
