Palais de Mahe - a CGH Earth Experience

The rooms decor , ambiance everything was really good and unique experience of staying in a french mansion. The in house retaurant la pelazies was also really good ***** with the made to order style breakfast

A hotel that always makes you feel at home! A home away from home. All the staff are wonderful and make sure you are always comfortable The best place to stay in Pondicherry. Food is excellent and the cleanliness is of the highest level. Great location. Special mention to Mr Dinu and chef . The food is excellent and bar well stocked. Been coming here atleast once a year for over 10 years

We stayed briefly at the CGH Earth Palais de Mahe on the pretty city of Pondicherry. It has a heritage feel but is a reproduction and a modern building. It’s in an excellent location, just one block from the sea front with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Check in was smooth and efficient, check out was the same. There is a very small pool in the central courtyard, sadly not used by anyone during our stay as there was major building works in the property next door, so lots of noise from early until late evening. The neighbourhood in general is quite noisy so light sleepers will need to be prepared. Pondicherry seems to be the site of a lot of new building now. We ordered lunch from the café near Reception. The food was average and the service a little slow. Dinner and breakfast were available in the restaurant terrace at the top of the hotel. We had a very good fish dinner and breakfast the next morning was very good, with cereal, toast, coffee, tea, eggs, fruit and many other options made to order. Service can take a little while but is very attentive and the terrace is a very nice setting to enjoy your meals. Choices were on a blackboard in the restaurant. Authentic French pastries would be a welcome addition in this former French colony. Our room was large and comfortable, with a wardrobe, a small safe, a good-sized bathroom, decent Wi-Fi, a TV with international channels, tea and coffee making facilities and air conditioning. The doors were old with large gaps, so bugs may get in, but the hotel did provide plug in anti-mosquito aerosol. Overall, we liked our time at the Palais de Mahe, it’s strong environmental and preserving the city’s heritage and we found it a convenient base to explore the city.

Close to beach, great food, French ambience, neat and clean pool, friendly staff except one person at Cafeteria. Cafeteria set menu is a down side as the staff there half of the time forgot what we ordered. particularly one staff tall and with spectacle was not friendly and was quite rude when we ordered for food for take away

Actually, we really enjoyed a lot in this hotel with great rapid service and food are so good and delicious i hope I could come here for the only food I guess and I hope and I loved the service of breakfast too so I hope everyone should come here at once thank you …….

This is an exquisite hotel in the old French town in Pondicherry. Although not a heritage hotel, hotel, to their credit, made it a point to make it look so. Kudo. The rooms are luxurious and have all the amenities one would want. The from office staff, two men and a woman whose names I will add in when have access to the paper, were kind, courteous and super-helpful. I had a wonderful time!!!
