In the heart of white town this property provided the most authentic French villa stay experience. The architecture, decor, food and the service is superb. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. One morning we had French breakfast and on the other South Indian - both days it was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the swim in the hotel pool - very relaxing after a long day full of activities. Beach is also round the corner. Over all a perfect authentic heritage property for your Pondicherry stay - not to forget, friendly & caring staff.
I was revisiting Pondicherry after 22 years and I decided to book the hotel Palais de Mahe, as it appeared to meet all my needs. My stay was fabulous! The service was exceptional and exceeded all of my expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful and extremely well maintained. My room was stunning and exquisitely furnished. All amenities are provided and my bed was so comfortable, I enjoyed 5 nights of blissful sleep. There is a wonderful roof top restaurant and bar, along with a ground floor cafe next to the lovely swimming pool. Well located in White Town, the hotel is a short walk to the beach, Bharati Park, (where I enjoyed early morning walks), Aribindou Ashram and all that Pondicherry has to offer. However, the absolute highlight of my stay was the staff and their incredible hospitality!! 7 Star! Every single person. The level of service is amazing.. A huge thanks to the following people for making my stay so special. Dinu, GM, Jaghan and Fakhakhrudin, front desk, Arun-Kumar, head of housekeeping and to the housekeeping team, especially Santosh - thank you so much for the amazing "towel animals" - so creative - I loved the elephants, monkey and crocodile. Food and beverage - Ragahavan, Bhuvanesh, Nithya and Prassa for super friendly, helpful and efficient service. Ayurvedic Spa - Greeshma worked magic on my aches and pains. If I have forgotten anyone by name please pass on my thanks to all the team! I would highly recommend anyone visiting Pondicherry to stay at Palais de Mahe. An experience you do not want to miss!! I can't wait to return. Again a huge thanks to all of the staff for making my stay so very memorable and special.…
Gem of a place. Happily recommend this beautiful property in the French Quarter. It has gorgeous rooms, comfortable beds, inviting verandas to relax, pool to enjoy, delicious food they serve but what makes it special are the people who work there & the welcome they offer.
Such a fine place with lovely people. Everything is crafted to perfection to give us a perfect holiday. The staff here do a splendid job. Keep it up. We’ve had a great holiday with you guys. Much love
Such a lovely hotel with absolutely amazing staff. Delicious food, delightful pool, and beautiful rooms, couldn’t ask for any more. We had a fabulous stay for 5 nights. The staff are very friendly and provided a brilliant all round service - from recommendations of what to do around the area; excellent food and drink advice; arranging transport; and room maintenance (we had the best towel crocodile I’ve ever seen!). The location is also perfect for sightseeing in White town, we’d highly recommend staying here!
It's a beautiful hotel.. walking distance from the beach. super yummmmmm food. extremely courteous staff... superb management !! must have the mutton curry . the breakfast was limited menu but sumptuous n yummmm do try sea food and the creme brulee
I loved, loved, loved my stay at Palais de Mahe in March 2022. Everyone - the property manager Dinu, the head chef at the restaurant, the restaurant staff, the staff manning the front desk - took excellent care of me. The cocktails are really good, but the traditional Tamil dishes can't be missed. The building - though new - has stayed true to the colonial architectural style of the French quarters. This will be my go-to hotel in Pondicherry!
Visited this beautiful hotel palais de mahi in pondicherry in white Town, centrally located this place is right next to the promenade beach and all the finest French cafes/bakery's, one can just walk down to these places n enjoy the early morning sunrise and late evening walks on the beach , Hotel has extremely comfortable rooms with french look n feel ....most importantly the staff of the hotel was very courteous and helpful in particular I would like to mention a special thanks to the GM & Mr farukh ( front desk ) they made our stay memorable! In short a must visit....
