We stayed in two rooms, Room 1 and Room 8 and I think both rooms were excellent. Room 1 had a main road facing window on the ground floor, but it was really not a problem as the nights were especially quiet. There was an extra bed in a sort of make-shift loft for a child or an extra person... More

It was a last minute plan to spend a night in Pondicherry but I'm glad we did.Du Parc's location is ideal.The night spent there was made even better by the attentive team that served us- special mention for Gerald at the reception and Raja at the restaurant. Keep up the great job!

Old world colonial charm, a Heritage Villa. We stayed on the first floor, and independant room, disconnected from the rest of the hotel. Clean room, spacious bathroom. Close to the beach and the ashram. The only irritant were , during weekends,loud, boisterous locals coming over for a drink late evening. Room service could be better. Parking is on the streets....

Stayed in May. Place was relatively empty given off-season and the weekday. Was impressed by the attention to detail. Venkat called in the morning to ask if i wanted directions to the place but google maps navigation took me to their door. Was asked to wait in their restaurant where the ac was already on full blast even though there... More

We booked two rooms here in March for when my parents were visiting. The place was very clean, and some of the loft rooms were just beautiful. It was for a good price, about $60/night, and I would recommend it for that. Areas for improvement: 1) More lighting in the bedrooms; 2) Cleaner/newer bathtubs - the sink, and bathroom were... More

Really pretty hotel away from the noise but in the city center. The reservation process was smooth, Ravi the manager really sweet and helpful. He gave us a free upgrade to a suite and also a reasonable price on a half day room rental. The staff there was also extremely helpful. Everything was walking distance from the hotel which totally...

We chanced upon Hotel Du Parc on trip advisor. After reading the reviews and looking at the pictures, we spoke to Ravi in the property. Ravi was exceptional at responding to all our queries. He got everything arranged well in advance. My husband and I are very thorough with a back ground check of any property we stay in in... More
