Extremely helpful and courteous staff. They made our trip! Great neighbourhood to walk in easily accessible.

Excellent attentive staff. Lovely building. Exceptional food.

Horribly short staffed property. No lobby agent till 7am so if you check in late like I did, someone from another property has to come and check you in. Terrible service and no one answers the phones either. The folks that are here are super friendly but they are short staffed. Avoid unless fully staffed

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!
