Maison Perumal Pondicherry - A CGH Earth Experience

The staff, Elba. E.J, Ishana and Malaisami, were extremely friendly and helpful and always had a smile . Nothing was too much trouble, they were delightful . They organised all our sightseeing trips, including ensuring we had enough water. The breakfasts were great, plenty of western and Indian choices. The restaurant dinner meals were all very good and good value. The old building was stunning. We would stay again as the staff were so personable.

I have to review Maison Perumal for the wonderful experience we had, we stayed 6 nights. It is a haven in the old Tamil quarter, but easily to walk to the beachfront and White town. Food is lovingly prepared. Great Bfast, juices, eggs, dosas, idlis, pastries and fruit, and great coffee. The building is 150yrs old and has been beautifully restored, plants surround you, everything is made with wood and local materials, and my first time staying in a hotel where there is no plastic. The bed and room was beautiful, everything so clean. The staff are so friendly and professional we did not want for anything. Thank you Barti, Jayson,Elby, Sami Sunil and all the staff.

A heritage home that's become a hotel has its charm and this one has preserved the central elements of the home that gives it a charm that unparalled. The mitham area of the original house is home to the restaurant where breakfast and other meals are served. The timings for breakfast were perfect even if you choose to do a morning walk and get back for a bite. We had breakfast every morning and dinner on a couple of nights at the hotel and the fare was excellent and the variety just right. A few south indian options or a mix of western staples such as croissants/ toast/ muesli were available every day for breakfast. Coffee/ tea/ fresh juice and/ or a classic and generous fresh fruit bowl were accompaniments to the sumptuous main spread. The hot breakfast options were made to order and were delicious. The daily availability of the ginger-lemon juice was just the cherry on top. The dinner options were simple and delicious and the staff were super kind to customise the portions to minimise wastage and also suit your palette. The hotel itself is a oasis of green and its simply lovely to just hang there. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities plentiful. The service is exemplary and the staff have a personal touch to everything they do. My review won't be complete without mentioning some of the staff we regularly interacted with - Elbi, Jason, Bharathi, Malaichamy and all the others with whom we didn't personally interact - Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. They went above and beyond in ensuring we had all the details we wanted on local sights and sounds.

If you come to Pondicherry, you must stay at Maison Perumal. Having traveled the world extensively for both holidays and work, I’ve experienced countless hotels and boutique places, but this one truly stands out. The staff’s dedication and genuine concern for their guests was nothing short of astounding. The food and cuisine were absolutely exceptional, offering a taste of local flavors that I won’t soon forget. We loved our stay at Maison Perumal and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Had the best time at Maison Perumal. I immediatly felt at home. The old house has a lot of charm, amd the patios feel very relaxing, with breeze coming through. The food is excellent. The room was very large and everything was perfect, well arranged and extra clean. Finally, the location is great as you step out in the Tamil town with temple events at the end of the street.
