A small boutique hotel with lovely gardens, food and warmly welcoming, helpful staff and manager.
Pros:

Lovely welcoming and interesting small hotel tucked behind a wall . Close to the beach promenade and easy walking to explore French Puducherry. The dinner menu was a lovely mix of French and Indian flavours - tasty, interesting, and beautifully presented . Great breakfast . We had the top terrace to ourselves , which afforded interesting views of the surrounding area. Lovely fruit and drinks provided freshly easy day . Great pool . The squirrels zipping up the trees were lovely to watch . Fabulous car and driver arranged by the hotel for our return trip to Chennai - would recommend booking this .

Cons:

A large storm caused a lot of water to come through the doors , and we needed to have someone provide extra towels to reduce the ingress .
A lovely room all the same .

They really care)
Pros:

Very beautiful unique villa in French style. Helpful staff . My husband and I were staying there for my birthday. The chief is just excellent! Set menu for 7 different dishes, taking in consideration all the restriction on food we have and just really surprised us with French fine dining. Bravo to all off the management and staff!

Amazing. But you'll want earplugs.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. You can have it in your room as well as any massages. The vibe and the aesthetic of the room we stayed in was lovely and really impressive. The place was really clean and well kept.

Cons:

The bed was too stiff for my back. We heard a lot of the outside noises; the crows and birds were very loud in the morning and woke us up at 5am and we could hear all the cars honking at night. I imagine most buildings in the area are the same though.

Elegant villa in the heart of town with exceptional cuisine. Highly recommended
Pros:

This is a splendid place: a very atmospheric villa in the heart of the old town in Pondicherry, with the nicest staff and outstanding food. We stayed 4 nights and could not find a reason to eat elsewhere!

Cons:

Nothing: it really is a gem
