Palais De Mahe - A CGH Earth Experience

I stayed at this hotel with my 7-year-old daughter and we truly enjoyed the warm hospitality. It felt like a home away from home — very comfortable and welcoming. The hotel has a child-friendly atmosphere, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The chefs here are highly trained and experienced — the food was simply excellent. The location is another big plus, right in the posh heritage French Quarter (White Town), which added charm to our vacation. We really had a great time here in Pondicherry and would definitely love to return.

Huge spacious room - love the architecture, colours, poolside room and overall relaxing environment. Love CGH's commitment to reducing plastic waste and sustainable practice (like refillable glass bottles with filtered water). Breakfast choices (included) are extensive and you can try a range of Indian breakfast items and Western options too up on the top floor with a view over the pool. Location wise - the hotel is super convenient and right in the heart of the French quarter for walking around and exploring. Pondicherry is a fascinating place, a melting pot architecturally and culturally, full of life and colour. MASSIVE shout out and thank you to Shyam who went above and beyond to help us with some travel dilemmas. Our India rail train tickets fell through despite being booked/paid for. Shyam found us alternate travel arrangements, was so calm and supportive through all the last minute changes and even took us all the way (even after his shift!) to where we needed to board our bus. Thank you SO much for taking care of us, very much appreciated.

Palais de Mahé is one of the best hotel you can asked for. YOU WILL NOT REGRET STAYING THERE. HOTEL : Eco and budget friendly , beautiful with great interior design, clean and well located. The hotel is similar as per the pictures on Booking.com. This hotel is famous as it has been displayed in movies. Lots of people always taking pictures outside the hotel. STAFFS : Special thanks to Mr Adrien, Mr Kalay , Ms Yoshita , the GM Mr Dino, the restaurant staffs . You all made our stay amazing and made us felt at home. ❤️ From day 1, all the staffs were so kind, always smiling and willing to go extra miles.

BED : One of the most comfortable bed we had. We slept so well . If we had more days, we would extend our stay just to spend our day in bed . POOL : Clean, beautiful and so relaxing. FOOD : Fresh and tasty food. We still talked about that " mushroom sandwich " during our breakfast time at home. LOCATION : Lively street close to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and tourist places. You can easily find rickshaw and there is a starbucks next to the hotel . We will consider the other CGH hotels for our other vacays !!

well maintained, old building with a very special charme. nice to sit on the terrace in front of the room. pool superb and clean. the staff in the hotel and restaurant very nice and always supportive. breakfast is served a la carte but with a lot of flexibility and fulfilled extras. the restaurant is also a great place to finish a day with a delicious dinner.

Quite a difficult question to answer, there is so many thing to like about the hotel. Courtesy, hospitality, comfort everything for that matter was super. I really cherished my stay... Usually we like to stay in modern classy hotels... this on the contrary was an experience of the colonial times... A flavor of French architecture in India... The color scheme, the ambiance, the food menu all was designed to take you decades back and understand the French lifestyle... That was good. Good thing is it wasn't half hearty attempt... somewhere the theme started and then lost in transition... Palais de Mahe, was indeed an end to end design mimic. Good stay. Thank you for making it superb.
