We stayed her In Nov 2011. This is a very nice boutique hotel in a great location close to the waterfront, great for an evening stroll. Nice friendly staff and service was just excellent. This is a restored 18th century place. Our large room had been converted with a bathroom booth installed in the corner complete with sink, shower and... More

The place was originally the residence of French Mayor in India, Le Dupleix. The place has been restored and now runs as the hotel. That you have entered a French villa is evident with the first strep; the large wooden gate open into a courtyard which has an old Mango tree to welcome. Right next to this is the reception... More

Selected this hotel over their more plush looking sister hotel "The Promenade" because it promised a heritage experience. The building is quite quaint beautifully whitewashed and generous use of Burma Teak, giving it a very nice colonial touch. We chose the Penthouse room on the top floor which was brilliantly appointed with a lot of wood work and a beautiful... More

We stayed in Le Dupleix in Oct 2011 for a couple of nights. We were given a room was nice & cozy but opened up straight in the restaurant area. I thought it was a big let down given that although we had taken the most economical room in the hotel but still it was more expensive than other places... More

The room at the top, probably converted terrace, was encased in glass, with ceiling to floor blue silk drapes, and teak ceilings. Beautiful and very romantic. Beautiful waterfall under the stairs.The food was fine, and the service excellent but for sometimes getting the feeling that something gets lost in translation. They do bend backward to make you happy. Don't bother... More

We stayed for 2 nights with MAP in a suite. The stay n experience was great except for the food which was below avg but even that was bearable till the point we were checking out. The staff were clueless about the plan we had opted for and billed us wrongly. I had to sit with the cashier and worked... More

We took the 3D/2N package for the Deluxe room. The hotel and the rooms are extremely royal with Burma teak all over the place. The hotel is ideally located very close to the beach. The restaurant food and the service was good, but with the package the menu is limited. The size of the room was a big let down... More

Went with family & friends to this charming and delightful boutique hotel in the South Indian town of Pondicherry, about 3 hours drive from Chennai. Located in the heart of the erstwhile French colony of Pondicherry, this boutique hotel consists of only 14 rooms including a suite. The entire hotel is an old bungalow which has been refurbished to modern... More

C'mon guys get your act together. There are so many areas that are lacking, its appalling! We requested that one of our rooms have a pull out bed for my niece, but they couldnt even fit one in even if they rearranged the furniture in the room. Internet: Supposedly free wifi, but that is "if" and "when" it works. To... More
