We booked two rooms here in March for when my parents were visiting. The place was very clean, and some of the loft rooms were just beautiful. It was for a good price, about $60/night, and I would recommend it for that. Areas for improvement: 1) More lighting in the bedrooms; 2) Cleaner/newer bathtubs - the sink, and bathroom were... More

Really pretty hotel away from the noise but in the city center. The reservation process was smooth, Ravi the manager really sweet and helpful. He gave us a free upgrade to a suite and also a reasonable price on a half day room rental. The staff there was also extremely helpful. Everything was walking distance from the hotel which totally...

We chanced upon Hotel Du Parc on trip advisor. After reading the reviews and looking at the pictures, we spoke to Ravi in the property. Ravi was exceptional at responding to all our queries. He got everything arranged well in advance. My husband and I are very thorough with a back ground check of any property we stay in in... More

The hotel's located almost right in the centre of the heritage town. The Aurobindo ashram, promenade, the main shopping places, bharti park etc are all located a stone's throw away from this hotel. The room was quite large and well furnished. It has a small courtyard in the middle which is well shaded. The place truly feels colonial. The hotel... More

Perfectly located right in the centre of town, on Jawahar Lal Nehru street, Hotel du Parc has everything in the main town within walking distance. Its a quaint little place, more reminiscent of the French touch than many other buildings in the area. A heritage building, it has a main courtyard deck lounge area that is absolutely the highlight of... More
