We stayed here for a couple of nigths in March and i must say it was one of the most memorable stays so far. Beautifully decorated guesthouse with smiling employee and owner faces. This is what you need when travel down accross India from Delhi to Pondicherry. We had booked Le Studio after reading earlier reviews. It was the most... More

My partner and I stayed there for 2 days in February, what a fabulous place, very large rooms, ceiling fans and mossie net over the large step up bed. Beautiful enclosed garden. Very clean with antiques in abundance. We have recommended this guest house to others on our India. Travels and when next in Pondi will definitely stay there again.... More

We stayed two night at this place. Friendly owner and staff. It is wonderfully located in the old French quarter of town and hence a great place to explore Pondicherry. The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom could do with an update, but was clean and still better than many others in India. Breakfast included croissants and baguettes!... More

We went to Pondicherry to take 4 days off from work - sort of an extended weekend break. All we needed was a clean and quite place in a location close to ashram and beach and Coloniale was just perfect! Great location in the colonial french quarter - very short walks to beach, ashram and the main shopping streets.. Food:... More

If you like old world charms, quaint and quiet, and spotlessly clean yet reasonably priced hotels you will love this. It has been more than half a year since I have been here but I plan a visit almost every year (I have stayed here twice). The only downside is that there is no room service and the breakfast is...

The ambience is excellent and the location is perfect, but there is room for improvement when it comes to service. The main problem that we faced was power cut (one phase was not working they said) and that too in the middle of the night. It was then that we realized that there is no generator backup. We were shifted... More

The reviews on Tripadvisor aren´t wrong about this place. Sabine (and Snoopy!) greeted us when we arrived and showed us to the rooms. Sabine has really put her stamp on this place, and spent much time and patience into turning it into something very unique and special. I think we may have been the only non-French staying here, but this... More

Highlight of our holidays in India, by going through the door you enter a little paradise with plants and birds singing. The rooms are perfect, decorated in colonial style, quiet and very clean. The staff are very nice and the owner friendly and helpful. Very nice breakfast. Very well located but quiet also. We were sad to leave.
