ル デュプレクス

Food of poor quality at best, breakfast croissants like all the food over cooked. Alarming that croissants can be that poor in a French inspired hotel. Bathroom needs severe update. Cracked sink bath/shower area terrible. Lack of sleep due to glass door showing light all night.

Very inconsiderate and non helpful staff

Beautiful renovated 18th century property, walking distance to the beach and other attractions, staff was excellent. Enjoy

The concierge service was excellent. All the staff were considerate and helpful.

Beautiful place but room was musky.

Somewhat expensive Average breakfast (very good coffee and juice, the rest was average) Nice staff, efficient and friendly

Just one night. Charming very old building. Great service!

Beautiful location and very helpful staff

Good location, designer chic, courteous and helpful staff, but below average on room maintenance and cleanliness. Especially bathrooms are poor on plumbing, fittings and overall hygiene. Evidently hasn't been deep cleaned in a while. Absolutely disappointing..

Meget hyggeligt og indbydende sted med et super skønt personale. Skøn og rolig beliggenhed.

Pleasant and well located in the heart of Pondichéry.

Le Dupleix is a nice boutique hotel in the French Quarter on a quiet street. It is an old bungalow that was supposedly used by the Governor. The hotel has built an excellent team of very friendly and guest service oriented staff who went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. The kitchen team is extremely talented and all dishes were superbly cooked. The only thing that needs improvement is curbing the mosquito menace. Pondicherry is awash with mosquitoes and I was very concerned with picking up Dengue or some such infection. The team gave me Odomos & used a coil - to no avail. They could learn some protocols used in forest retreats like spraying citronella & lemongrass to keep mosquitoes away without leaving a bad odour in the premises.

After 10 days travelling I needed somewhere relaxing. Pondicherry and Le Dupleix were perfect. It has the feeling of being back in the 1930s. My room was large, its walls hand painted with trees, a huge four-poster bed, all the furniture antique; a big desk for me to write. The bathroom was a little antique but worked well. The place oozed atmosphere and the staff were charming and helpful. The laundry was done well, and breakfast was excellent. There was a pop duo in the evenings at the weekend who performed old favourites well. The restaurant was average, and I preferred to eat out in a town with wonderful food. Restaurant service was a little slow, but there was no rush. The hotel is perfectly positioned in White Town, five minutes from the Promenade and five minutes from the hubbub of the town. There’s an arrangement with the Promenade Hotel to use its small swimming pool. I would have no hesitation in staying again.

The outside of the property & the Service is very good but the inside of the rooms is dingy & the choice of the colors of the walls are very poor. so much of brown that it gives a very dull environment. Not value for money at all. It is definitely steep

A hotel with a lot of history, located in the centre of White town within easy walking to most of the attractions of Pondicherry. Front desk staff are both friendly and professional with a can do attitude whenever we had a problem they were always happy to help. The room was spacious and well maintained with a comfortable bed, tea /coffee, fridge and in room safe , Mini our house keeper was always on hand if we needed anything, (much appreciated Mini) We ate dinner in the hotel several times and found everything of a high standard. Breakfast was also Excellent again the service was first rate. Good luck to the new manager you have a good team. We had a very good six days and will use again if and when we are back in Pondicherry would definitely recommend. Dave and Sally Yorks

Beautiful heritage mansion in a convenient location. The room was clean and well-maintained. We did have to climb two flights of stairs to get there - something to note if you are traveling with seniors! Food was average, the service excellent, especially our hostess Aswetha was very kind and helpful!

Situated a block from a beach and promenade, it was a very convinient location. Room sizes are very big compared to modern hotels. Staff was courteous. Food quality was good. Entrance of the property was a famous spot for social media pictures…

On the whole a very ok experience Rooms are old style not very clean, fan tas no regulator, towels outdated. Service is very slow and need regular reminders.

Das Dupeix liegt schön zentral, nur 3 Minuten von der Promenade entfernt. Man kann alles Wesentliche zu Fuß erreichen. Beim check in um 14:00 (offizielle check in Zeit) war unser Zimmer nicht fertig, wir waren etwas enttäuscht und man bot uns ein angeblich identisches Zimmer an. Das erschien uns sehr klein und wir bestanden auf unser gebuchtes Zimmer, das tatschlich ca 50% grösser war! Kleine „Verarschung“? Wir mussten 30 Minten warten und man fragte höflich, ob wir einen Wunsch hätten - ja, 2 Kaffee aufs Haus wären nett - das verneinte man aber! Beim morgendlichem Duschen stand uns immer nur kaltes Wasser zur Verfügung, der Service im Restaurant war nett, aber alles nur im Schneckentempo. Auf den Gängen standen den ganzen Tag Essensreste an den eigentlich schönen Sitzplätzen herum, im Restaurant hielt man es nicht für nötig, die alten Servietten und Gläser der vorherigen Gäste abzuräumen oder gar den Tisch für uns abzuwischen - sehr schade- hoffentlich liest das Management diese Bewertung. Besseren Service und Top- Essen haben wir zb in Villa Santhi erlebt- nächstes Mal.
