In January 2013 we had an unforgettable stay in this Old Charm Guest House (leshibiscus@gmail.com). The house is over 100 years old and perfectly renovated in the original style and tastefully decorated by the owner and his french wife. Everything was spotlessly clean and there were no flaws at all. The laundry was treated carefully and returned perfectly clean. All... More

We had planned to visit Pondicherry on 19/04/13 and based on excellent reviews of Les Hibiscus had planned to stay there. Hence, I visited the website of LES Hibiscus and sent a mail seeking an accommodation for 2 rooms as we had 2 ladies above 60 years of age with us. The reply was prompt by someone called Mr.Bascarane and... More

I can be brief... after my last stay here in 2012 I returned to Les Hibiscus in the beginning of April 2013. As usual Bhaskaran is an extremely pleasant host who runs a tight ship. The hotel is indeed full of charm, pleasant decorated and fortunately not overdone. The rooms are spacious to say the least, the bathroom comfortable with... More

We stayed here for two nights. And Les Hibiscus is just what it advertises itself as - An Old Charm Guesthouse. The common areas are decked with antique furniture, Thanjore paintings and cute old clay dolls. The rooms are massive with huge and comfortable beds. The bathrooms are massive too. The guest house itself is located at the heart of... More

My friend recommended the place to me because she stayed here when she came to visit last year. It was great! Clean, comfortable, everything worked just fine. There was wi-fi in the common areas (sometimes it was a bit spotty upstairs), the A/C and fans made for a comfortable stay, the bathrooms are big and had hot water. It's close... More

Stayed two nights in March and loved this little guesthouse. The owners and their team deserve all the credit and rave reviews for running this amazing little gem in the heart of the French Quarter in Pondicherry. Somewhere between a homestay and a guesthouse, Les Hibiscus has six rooms laid out over two floors of an old colonial house. The... More

We stayed in early December for six nights just as Mrs Bascarane and her staff were getting ready for Christmas. An absolutely wonderful place to stay, exceptionally clean and friendly. Fully agree with all the other good reviews. When I return to Pondicherry I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.

What a wonderful Guest House. The owner Bascarane is very charming and ensures that you have a comfortable and pleasant stay. He very efficiently arranged our taxi pickup from Mamallapuram and the return trip to Chennai airport.. The 3 local ladies who work for him, Baradee, C.Saseekala and Maria , are simply charming and cannot do enough for you. The... More
