Guest Reviews

• Gira (10/5): -
• Rajesh (10/5): -
• Ennapadam (8/5): Great place to stay in a central and lively part of Pondicherry offering exceptional in house cuisine and hospitality. - Great location, lovely bar and food choices, nice activities with good providers No parking arrangements - They should provide a valet service
• Carsten Bonde (8/5): Nice hotel - very nice location, rooms are a bit outdated - Nice authentic hotel in the center of old town. Very nice restaurant with good vibes and nice food. Everything is in walking distance - promenade and all the nice restaurants Rooms are outdated, and beds are not so comfortable but because of the location it is worth it.
• Jacob (8/5): -
• Annette (10/5): Das historische Ensemble, die Lage und Mitarbeiter, die außerhalb des durchschnittlichen Standards arbeiten - Die schön kuratierte Einrichtung, insbesondere der Zimmer und der Bar. Insbesondere auch die liebevolle und individuelle Betreuung Mitarbeiter:innen Fouizeya und Kit. Danke! Die Plastikmöbel im Innenhof/Restaurant
• Ann Mary (10/5): Stop here for a wonderful time - Staff attentive but not intrusive. Always helpful and good natured. The old colonial building has been senstively restored, modern yet without losing its historic charm. It is located in the heart of White Town so lots to explore on foot or a short tuk tuk ride. Nothing, almist too good to be true
• Giacomo (10/5): wonderful - Extremely well curated with style and extremely comfortable. The staf was super caring and full of attention. Food was excellent Indeed the structure of the hotel with a central area and all the rooms around is a bit noisy as highlighted by other travellers. Still it is tolerable and not too loud.
• Ria (10/5): -
• gita (9/5): -
• Trinankur Banerjee (7/5): The staff were nice, the location was good, but they should do more to make the rooms comfortable - The staff were very nice, and the location was good It wasn’t an inexpensive room, so I expected better. There were a few issues—the basin had a crack, the windows couldn’t be opened, and the layout felt impractical. The rooms and bathroom also seemed quite dark, possibly reflecting a certain French design sensibility. Breakfast was vegetarian (with eggs available) and was just about okay
• andree (8/5): -
• Maithreyi (10/5): -
• Mireille (8/5): -
• Steven (10/5): - Clean, heritage style property, big room and terrace. Nothing
• YogaLife Coaching with Jenny (10/5): Wonderful - Big room, great water pressure in shower, excellent fans and AC, delish breakfast options! Super friendly and helpful staff Dining service could use some improvement.
• DE GAILLANDE (8/5): Agréable séjour - La chambre est joliment meublée et confortable. Le personnel est serviable et le cadre est agréable. Bon petit déjeuner. Le restaurant est au centre de l hotel; lorsque nous y étions nous entendions le bruit des conversations le soir.
• Jane (9/5): Loved your staff all so helpful and kind. Especially Fazouti ( not sure of spelling. Very pretty girl ). She was excell - Great location A bit noisy at times
• Narendra (8/5): It was a nice stay which gave us a real feel of the old times of the French Town. - Reception at the front office was warm. Staff is helpful. Food is good. It is a reasonably well maintained old/ heritage property. It is like staying in a house. The Bar cum lounge has good books kept for reading. Location is very convenient, and one can walk to all French Town attractions very easily. There are many restaurants available on walkable distances. The room we were allotted was right on the ground floor and the door opened almost into the courtyard / passage where they run a restaurant hence seat their guests. The room had no scope to keep the windows open or even the door since there was crowd outside and no privacy. The room was a confined cabin lacking any openness. When I requested for a room on an upper floor they made me realize that those rooms were priced more. I felt that this should have become apparent to me when I booked my room on Booking.com but it wasn't described so. Since we chose to stay in a heritage villa converted to a Hotel we accepted that we cannot expect it to be like a purpose-built Hotel. Being a small property, there are no amenities available (Gym, Swiming pool) on site and they advise you to walk to their adjoining Hotel where these amenities can be enjoyed.
• Clelia (10/5): -
• Bipin Lakshmanan (10/5): -
• Alan (8/5): Great location but poor value. - Great location, clean, friendly staff, great food and breakfast, large rooms, relatively quiet. Expensive room rate for area. Same price as a 5 star hotel in Chennai with club lounge access! Room are basic. Not sure why such small TVs in the room. Better with no TV than small 19” ones
• Helene Holland (8/5): Un très chic séjour! - We loved the location within walking distance of the Promenade, parks, shops, cafés and restaurants. Staff were all brilliant, but special thanks to Subhajit and Raji, who organised our upgrade from Rm 2 on the ground floor to Rm 12 on the second floor, where it was quieter and more private. The bed in No.2 was softer and more comfortable, and the showers were among the best we've had in 2-mths of travel, though No.12 had slightly more pressure. We enjoyed a delicious fresh breakfast each morning, and the restaurant's reputation for great food is justifiably deserved. Cleaning staff did an excellent job of keeping everything clean and sparkling. A wonderful place! We loved the privacy of Rm.12 at the end behind the palm tree, though the bed was too firm for our ageing bones!
• Frank (10/5): History and modern comfort provided by a dynamic young team -
• Lakshmi (3/5): Sad and exploited - The hotel was near the beach at white town.. The Hotel was extremely overpriced for the facilities provided while other hotels nearby had more value for the money. There was no lift we had to climb 2 stairs of flight. There was not even basic amenities like tooth brush.. The complementary breakfast was sad. A staff in the restaurant Was overly friendly. And we left something of ours at the restaurant and when went back and asked they said they didn’t find it. It was summer and the ac in the room was very old and did not cool properly.
• Susan (5/5): - The hotel is well-situated right in the center of White Town and a short walk to the beach. The staff was very accomodating and helpful in arranging excursions and activities. The room was very large. We were asked to pay a higher rate than what we had booked. It was explained that this was due to the exchange rate. After a lengthy conversation with the receptionist, the manager intervened and suggested that we pay in local currency instead. We did, paying what Booking had quoted. It is a heritage hotel with no lobby. The restaurant/bar is in the courtyard and has strong ceiling fans, but no air-conditioning. We decided to have dinner somewhere else because of that. All in all we were very disappointed. It was highly over-priced -- our most expensive hotel in India (although it was over New Year's Eve) and our least favorite.
• Lesley (7/5): - Great location, heritage property Mosquitos in my room, and I got food poisoning!
• ALAIN (5/5): Excellent restaurant , mais je ne recommanderais pas l’hôtel - Excellent restaurant! Cuisine variée , bien réalisée LE BRUIT! Les bruits du patio remontent!Impossible de dormir avant la fin du service à minuit… Literie des chambres très dure Équipement de la salle de bains inexistant
• Kiran (9/5): Excellent - Very spacious, breakfast excellent, staff excellent Foot massage booked was disappointing
• Anjana (10/5): -
• Steve (9/5): Excellent choice - The ambiance, the staff , the rooms and the breakfast N/A
• Richa (1/5): -
• Mark (10/5): Truly the best of Pondicherry! - The hotel is very centrally located in the French area, “White Town” and the staff were absolutely amazing and friendly – they felt like family by the time we left Pondicherry. (A shout out to Stalin, our bartender, who was incredible). The restaurant is in the central courtyard of the building and was almost the best food we had in Pondicherry. (The very best place was La Villa, also owned by the owner of Villa Shanti). The beds were harder than we liked.
• Petros (9/5): -
• Jolita (7/5): - Conevniently located. Spacious. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. The twin beds are quite small and uncomfortable. The room was very noisy. It is way too pricey foe what it is.
• Siddhi (10/5): Best experience - Lovely place Great location
• Elisa (10/5): - The room was very clean and big. We had a nice breackfast and a wonderful dinner! They have the best staff: i need to thank you Miss Raji to help us for all we need (shopping suggestions, beaches, booking a table for dinner even if the restaurant was complete and for the massage inside the hotel).
• Christopher (8/5): -
• Dipika (9/5): - Quaint hotel - lovely decor and ambiance - friendly staff - great location - can walk to most places. Good value accommodation considering it is based in the heart of the French quarter.
• Subroto (10/5): Excellent value - Quaint Colonial charm with modern amenities and fabulous service!
• Anjana (9/5): -
• Peter (9/5): - Great location and food we had at breakfast and dinner were very good. Like the ability to use the roof top as a place to sit & relax. Bedroom are well though out and use of colour is good. Our stay was too short
• Pradeep (5/5): - Breakfast is average
• Jagruti (8/5): Overall very nice location, very prompt staff and provides good food too. - Breakfast is good and Dinner is excellent. The GF rooms should be little better in terms of sound and non smokers guests.
• Divya (10/5): - Best hospitality Nothing
• Sohini (9/5): Lovely stay in great location with good food. - The hotel was located in the Whitetown very close to the Rock Beach. The Terrace suite was decorated with taste and spacious enough for the 3 of us. It was clean and the food was delicious. Service with a smile - what more do you need ? The only minus could be the stairs you have to climb - for old people or people with some problem with their mobility this might be an issue. The location, the food, the service and the room. They were very responsive right from the time of booking and very courteous. We booked a transport from Chennai airport to Pondicherry through them and even that was on time and a great ride.

• Saar (10/5): -
• theo (9/5): Wonderful, relaxed stay in the heart of town - highly recommended! - Excellent breakfast, friendly staff The room was adjacent to the dining area so a little noisy at night, my headphones helped!
• Jamuna (5/5): - The food was good and the hospitality by the staff. It’s not worth the price, as basic toiletries like a toothbrush and toothpaste aren’t provided.The room is situated right in front of the cafe.
• Anantha (9/5): -
• Raj Prabakaran (9/5): Loved the location, great architecture and amazing Staff, Breakfast could be better - Clean and well-appointed rooms. Thoughtful things are placed around the room. Disappointed with the breakfast spread, for a hotel known for its food.
• ANGELA (8/5): - La posizione e la tranquillità Ristorante troppo caro per quellonche abbiamo mangiato
• Thineswaran (3/5): -
• Tuhinaa (6/5): - The location was great, the staff were really courteous The price point and the amenities did not match. Breakfast spread was below average.
• Celia (7/5): Good location and friendly staff. - Location is great, staff is very friendly, great breakfast by the courtyard, great menu for diner&bar. Room is simple but nicely done. I personally didn't find the bed very comfortable and didnt like much the fact that the WC door opens towards the bed headboard (feels weird for the person sleeping on that side of the bed). AC made lots of noise. The outside noise can be a problem if one wants to call it an early night due to the music from the bar/restaurant downstairs. It stops at around 10.30-10.45PM.
• Anant (8/5): -
• Zofia (9/5): -
• Laia (10/5): Lile being home in India - The hotel has a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. The restaurant was excellent — the chef adapted the dishes to our needs and everything was delicious. The staff was extremely kind, always attentive, and helped us with everything. An incredible place — we’ll definitely be back! Really everything was perfect
• Sheldon (10/5): -
• Rajkumar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samir (8/5): Welcoming Warm Stay with delicious desserts and good hospitality - Cuisine; Location; Spacious rooms Bath Towels were having stains.
• Aj (4/5): No Shanthi - The location is very close to Rocky beach, which can be reached by about 10 mins walk. Staff is humble and welcoming. Rooms and bed, linen is clean and comfy. The lighting and furnishing is not bad but scope for upgradatipn. You will be delighted once enter the room after you finish your trip outside. The temperature and Cooling of the rooms are amazing. I didn't liked much of dining section and does look dirty walls, the quality of food served was not even close my expectations, ofcourse may be it's targeted for western style. The food menu is bit overpriced. The price paid for stay is not even close or justify the value, which is a huge disappointment. I wouldn't recommend the stay. The management policy is not transparent of services you ask for. You feel like been scammed for transport arrangement, for which I have been charged Rs. 1400 for airport drop, where as uber/Ola is at around Rs. 300. I expect to be clarified the price difference prior conformation. Ofcource the property is in prime location, and I expect the pricing could be bit reasonable and comparably affordable Overall I'm not satisfied with stay and the experience with Hotel.
• Sheetal (10/5): Definetely a must visit and must stay! - Breakfast was excellent, sowbhaga ensured everything was perfect. My request for unsweetened almond milk was perfectly met and the coffee was delicious. Room was good. The mattress quality and height is an area of improvement.
• Akanksha (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely stay... Warm and humble staff, delicious breakfast. Location is perfect.
• Rajiv (5/5): Na - In the city Toilets
• Vinod (9/5): Superb -
• Khanna (8/5): Very good - Location Ambience
• Kiron (7/5): Enjoyed the stay more because of the food and the location. - Breakfast was a la carte and very nice. Thouroughly enkoyed the same and the options. Restaurant had a great ambience and was quaint and welcoming. The Room was disappointing to say the least. the WC was area was smelly as there was no air outlet or exhaust. the Shower area and wash basin had no door either. There was not enough sitting space.The electricxal sockets were difficult to use and located impractically. The TV was without a sviwel and could not be visible if one wanted to see from the bed. All of the above. I wish the management would open the window from the shower area of Room No 1 to see the pathethic condition of cleanliness.
• Val (10/5): will return to share this experience with others - friendly staff - great food, wonderful masseur organised, fantastic cyclo and guide organised, comfortable room, magic ambiance - just a great stay nothing
• Hiwale (10/5): Exceptional service and experience - The location, food and service at the property were absolutely exceptional. The stay felt like a second home thanks to the wonderful and thoughtful staff who made us feel so comfortable and took great care of us for the entire duration of our stay. Highly recommend staying here to all folks! Nothing at all - perfect stay
• Ranga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexandra (9/5): Superb - Loved it! Fantastic service, rooms were gorgeous and comfortable. Food was delicious! Best value hotel I’ve ever stayed in, will definitely be coming back!
• Arathi (9/5): Superb -
• Gayle (10/5): It was wonderful. The ambience was sophisticated/simple and very enjoyablel. - We had a late check in but the staff accomodated us and asked the kitchen to stay open. That was terrific. The food was delicious- we had 2 breakfasts, 1 light dinner and a full dinner. I loved the layout of the room and especially the design of the shower. Nothing. The experience exceeded our expectations and the service was amazing.
• Jean-françois (8/5): Charming hotel, and top restaurant, but noisy rooms because of restaurant in courtyard - Very good restaurant. Overall atmosphere Noisy courtyard in the evening, affecting most rooms.
• Bipin (6/5): Pleasant -
• George (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (9/5): A great stay in a boutique hotel.the staff were lovely and engaged with us - Great location. Lovely atmosphere. Nothing
• Richard (9/5): Superb -
• Ghate (9/5): Very good stay. Will come back - Location, staff
• Michael (9/5): Superb - Very friendly personable staff
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mrunal (5/5): Passable - Here’s a more polished and detailed version of your review: Review of Villa Shanti The restaurant and food were absolutely 5/5—delicious flavors, excellent presentation, and a wonderful dining experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal. However, my hotel stay was disappointing, 2/5. The room was sparsely furnished with very basic amenities, the open shower design felt inconvenient, and the view from my window was far from pleasant—just large trash bins. It didn’t meet the comfort or ambiance I expected. I would definitely return for the food but not for an overnight stay.
• Nidhi (4/5): Disappointing -
• Ramana (9/5): French Quater of Pondicherry - Love this venue for its architecture and location . It’s right in the French district with great rooms and food . It’s busy at night so it’s always worth booking a table for dinner at check in .
• Aparna (8/5): Very good -
• Alok (9/5): Great place to stay while you are in Pondicherry. Family friendly and great staff. - Very friendly staff, great location in White Town
• Ryan (9/5): Superb - The food at this hotel really is excellent. As a foodie I immensely enjoyed the quality of the breakfast and the fantastic vibes of the hotel. Well worth the money and an excellent choice for those saying in the area.
• Apurva (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (8/5): Cool, small friendly & well located hotel - Nice bar & helpful staff, great location. Front rooms can be very noisy. Request rooms at the rear which are much quieter.
• Dinesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Monisha (7/5): Good -
• Agarwal (7/5): Definitely worth a visit and do try out. Good staff and food - Great food, great staff Took up the biggest room in the property. Didn’t feel it was upto the mark. Saw smaller rooms which seemed much better comfort wise and look wise. Would suggest to pick those. Also no room service in the property
• Sjoe (8/5): Very good -
• Kathryn (9/5): Superb -
