Official Description (provided by the hotel):: On a distinctive Tamil street of Pondicherry with red-tiled verandahs and seating platforms, lies La Maison Tamoule. This street was restored under the Asia Urbs Programme. Polished red-tile Attangadi floors surround a pillared courtyard over two floors. The verandahs lead to the rooms with Burmese teak doors and furniture. Light filters through a translucent roof above and the windows in the rooms tint the sunlight with their stained glass panes. This Baroque, Franco-Tamil architecture represents the same fusion as the colonial furniture and Creole food of Pondicherry. ... more less

“Lovely heritage property”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

This is a tamilian house which has been done up by the Neemrana group. Its a lovely heritage property. They have maintained most of the original design with minimum invasive alterations which I highly appreciate. As a result the rooms are a bit small for a family of 4. The bathroom also is tiny. They have put in innovative ideas... More

“Could have been great...”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

I'm torn between rating this hotel 'average' and 'very good', for while it wasn't average, it certainly wasn't 'very good'. The hotel was beautiful, with terracotta tiles and a courtyard just like a typical South Indian house. Its winning points were the street it was located on (stunning, heritage homes) and the restaurant. However, I'd give it an 'average' rating... More

I read the "Filthy" review before my trip and it gave me pause. I am at La Maison Tamoule right now and my experience is the exact opposite. The "Filthy" review says there were bloodstains on the walls from mosquito kills. Bunk. This is like all the other Neemrana hotels. It is a charming architectural connection to a prior time.... More

“Mansion House”

Reviewed 5 March 2013

Having stayed in a Neemrana non-Hotel Hotel earlier, I had great expectations from this property. This property lies in a very narrow street, the way streets were during early part of the century. We would have definitely missed it, if not for the sharp memory of my spouse for remembering this during our previous visit. There is no parking provided... More
