Stayed only 1 night in the guesthouse during a weektrip Tamil Nadu. I was booked in an other place by a tourcompany, but insisted in changing my itenary, because I wanted to go to Dumas GH I am so glad I did. Even if it is only for 1 night, it still is important for me to stay in a... More

I stayed here with my mother (she had a separate room) and two children, and we all just loved it. An absolutely wonderful place to stay, and so different from what you are likely to have experienced elsewhere in India - a great place to find peace, to walk out without negotiating traffic, and to hear nothing but the sound...

thank you dumas for giving us a lovely weekend in pondicherry. The stay was extremely warm and was just what we wanted from a typical pondicherry weekend.....ambience is just perfect, beautiful setting, comfortable rooms, location is at its best and last but not at all the least, the host is extremely helpful and nice.

Dumas Guesthouse is located just a few steps away from the waterfront in Pondicherry. That also means that there is a lot going on each evening at sunset, as the entire city seems to spend each sunset at the waterfront. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful in any questions you may have. Rooms are super clean and serviced each... More

The room we stayed was very comfortable; high ceiling, great... More

I spent 10 days at Dumas Guest House and I now know I found the best place, for me, to stay in Pondicherry. I found it online and was convinced to book it by reading these great reviews. I was traveling alone, my first time in India, and Bala and Jacqui made me feel welcome. They know how to be... More

We just spent 3 nights at the Dumas Guest House in Pondicherry and I must say it was the most relaxing vacation we had. First of all, the property is located a few meters from the beach road and that means you can head out to the coast anytime you wish. Secondly, the property is a heritage house in the... More

We spent two five day visits at the Dumas Guest House during a holiday in India, and were hugely impressed with the wonderful and friendly welcome, beautiful ambiance and relaxed charm of this small boutique hotel set just off the seafront in Pondicherry. Jackie and Bala and their great staff make you feel welcome and are really informative and helpful... More

What else can I say, that hasn't been said already? This place is amazing. I showed up pretty much at random. For my Rs 2300 I got a huge, gorgeous room. It was off a quiet, beautifully kept garden courtyard, and up a few stairs lined with flower pots. The room was superb: double-height ceilings, colonial furniture, huge tiled bath,... More
