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.

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 well run Hotel
Posted 20 Nov 2023 on HotelsA 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.

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!

Situated a block from a beach and promenade, it was a very convinient location. Room sizes are very big compared to modern hotels. Staff was courteous. Food quality was good. Entrance of the property was a famous spot for social media pictures…

Pleasant hotel with good food. Our room was large but bed was uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise from the street. The room was also very dark with not much lighting. Also no English style plugs. overall disappointing.
