This is an excellent hotel with spacious rooms and very kind and helpful staff. The kitchen is also highly recommendable for dinner. That refurbished building has a great atmosphere of the colonial age.

We had two nights in Pondicherry and loved Maison Perumel. The situation is great for exploring on foot - which we did - and the hotel itself is charming. Our room was cool and looked out on a tiled upper central seating area which was great for sitting out and catching up on some reading and the hotel certainly has... More

It is an island of calm in the city. The welcome is warm and personal (the place is run by only a few people). The rooms are very nice and decorated with good taste. Dinner is simple but we came late and were happy with the fast service. Breakfast was good. We were happy not have stayed at the Promenade.... More

Maison Perumal is part of the CGH group of hotels and they have got their approach right and particularly appeal to independent travellers. It is a lovely property but in the wrong part of town - its in the Indian part of town, not the French area which is a much more attractive and is by the sea. However, the... More

We stayed at Maison Perumal for 2 nights with 2 of our adult children and could not have been happier. The hotel is a tranquil, inviting oasis nestled in the hustle and bustle of Pondicherry's Tamil side. On arrival we were greeted warmly and made to feel immediately at home. The staff were helpful but subtle throughout our stay -... More

There are a lot of traditional Indian merchant's  mansions being converted to inns. This one is one of the best, combining the standard western amenities expected, while maintaining the essential character of the original home. Simply, but tastefully decorated with turn of the century photos and modern lamps combined with simple classic furniture, the white stucco walls and dark beamed... More

Everyone is entitled to an opinion I suppose bit I think the weight of numbers suggests that the respectable American has an entirely different experience to most others. I hope this unhappy person found an alternative that was suitable - it would not have been easy given that this property is so highly ranked among the reviews. First and foremost... More

Wonderful smiley staff, among the best I have met anywhere in the world. Very good food esp seafood. Since it's a small hotel, you can interact with the chef who is happy to customise it for you. Manager is more than happy to give you tips for sightseeing, shopping etc The room was furnished well with antique furniture. Bathroom was... More

We stayed at the Maison Perumal three days before the above review was written. Our experience could not have been not different. True, this elegant boutique hotel is located on a very "real" Indian street. Once you get beyond the front door, this intimate hotel is an oasis of elegant beauty, calm, and sophisticated design. The 4 star rating is... More

This hotel , listed as a four star hotel was so disgusting, inside and out that I refused to stay here for even a time long enough to get away to any other hotel but this place. The street in front had an open sewer and broken concrete everwhere and dirt, dogs, feces, and more dirt all over the street.... More
