“Pondicherry 2011”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2012

The Sea facing rooms are the best. If you plan to stay on Beach road, this place is definitely recommended. Being a small place with little staff, we felt the hospitality was good.

I stayed here for 2 days and 1 night (19-20 Nov 2011), it was a horrible experience. I lost my cellphone, my wife's cellphone and even some cash. I doubt on the hotel staff, who were aware of the entry points, one of the big window lock was opened before we checked-in. In the night we locked the room door... More

we stayed here for a day. its a basic bed & breakfast facility. if your expectations are these then it will do. if you are on a holiday or with family, maybe check out other places for more comfort & facilities. The property is being promoted as a heritage, but i ddnt see or feel any such thing. maybe its... More

“Enjoyed thoroughly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

Lovely atmosphere. Gives the European, French feel. Rooms are spacious. Lots of antique furniture. The owner has installed foam mattress for all the beds so that you can get sound sleep. Full value for money. I will go there again.

Villa Bayoud is a perfect example of how one can mess up a beautiful heritage building with a perfect location into a creepy place of mismanagement due to sheer lack of experience in the hospitality business. This place is run by 3 individuals..... 2 guys who resemble the typical male domestic servant in an Indian household and 1 guy who... More

A beautiful building, refurbished to a high standard with well meaning and friendly staff (with limited English, French and Hindi), but no management. Total chaos including building work with loud hammering in progress, a wailing lift, no water in the shower and a very partial seaview. Towels not pleasant. Breakfast was a greasy omelette and Nescafe and guests were shouting... More
