Rooms were booked with a few phone calls to Oliver, we arrived later than expected but the warmth, brightness, colorful and historical home of Patricia and Oliver just made us forget the tiredness and humidity of Pondi. Large rooms, high ceilings with AC and fans, attached baths and comfy beds. Felt like walking about in a museum !! The guest... More

I felt like I was home as soon as I arrived. Olivier and Patricia are wonderful and warm hosts available to help always. The house is gorgeous, filled with antique treasures of India. It is colorful, bright, clean, historically vibrant, the staff are absolutely delightful and very helpful. The guest house couldn't be in a better location, it is the... More

The autorickshaw driver who picked us up and cheated us left us and he came to lead the way to where we were supposed to... More

I am a regular visitor to Tamil Nadu though this was my first trip to Pondicherry. I was so pleased to find this beautiful, peaceful place to stay with charming and helpful hosts. Patricia's guest house is the ideal place from which to explore the area and then you return to the cool and quiet of this lovely French style... More

We arrived at Patricia's days after Cyclone Thane and despite the upheaval and chaos around us, it was a very tranquil retreat. The location is great and ideal for walking. The rooms were very pretty and had comfy beds, mozzie nets and decent showers. We enjoyed the courtyard outlook and the French style breakfasts served there each morning. It was... More

Guesthouse located in the French quarter of Pondicherry, on walking distance from the center with many local shops and the beach. No problem to park your car in the street. You can hire nearby a bike to get around the city. The interior is like a museum, there is so much to see, many paintings, various objects, handcraft. The breakfast... More

We had booked 4 rooms in the Patricia´s guest house in Dec. 2011. Initially we felt a warm atmosphere in the heavily decorated house. But the rooms were quite different in size and quality and too small for the amount they charged (e.g. the showers did not work properly). Breakfast was very poor for the money (some bread, butter and... More

I was expecting warm courteous service when I decided to choose home stay over the usual hotel accommodation. The room given to us initially on the ground floor was small, stuffy with no view. I had to shell out extra to move to a spacious airy room on the second floor. Another big disappointment was the breakfast. They should have... More

When we booked online we were told the price of our room would be Rs. 2200. However, when we checked in, we were told the price was Rs 2700. They later told a member of our party that they checked the price in their email records and that "you must be mistaken, son." While the guest house was a beautiful... More
