My review after my stay today. A decent hotel with expansive rooms and beautiful decor. Rooms: Very exquisite interiors with solid and comfortable beds. See pictures to know more. We booked a superior room, which was a bang for the buck. Shower knob didn't work and buckets were unavailable, had a tough time taking bath. Washing machine noise was constantly heard, 2 rooms were separated by a door - 3/5 Location & parking: located strategically at the heart of Pondicherry, Recommend you to par ...more

5/5
The best part about the hotel is the location. It is located centrally in the most happening part of the town. It is worth the premium they are charging only because of that. The staff is not that accommodating if you want to extend the stay by 1-2 hours or want to do early check - in. And this was not due to non availability as they were ready to accommodate if you can pay some extra amount.

    5/5

    Situated about half a kilometer from the Promenade beach and in White Town, the French Colony at Pondicherry, The Richmond is a modern hotel with a charm of the past times. Relaxation and comfort are just two of the many things on offer at The Richmond. White Town is an exact spot to explore Pondicherry's beautiful cultural sights. An array of attractions, including French War Memorial, Promenade Beach, Old lighthouse, Gandhi statue, Bharahti Park, Notre Dame de Anges, is a must-see while visiting the neighborhood. The roads of the city are extremely clean and beautiful. The architecture is unusual which makes one take a longer look on it. I was really surprised with the very disciplined traffic, and more so without a single traffic police around in the busy market streets. Fortunately, everything about the hotel was excellent, and I don't give praise lightly. The rooms were spacious, well equipped, clean, cozy and comfortable. Peace and relaxation prevailed. Very kind and helpful hosts, making us feel very much at home from the very first moment. Kettle, cups and all necessary toiletries were provided and there is also a mini fridge in the room. The food was very good. A host of items, including North Indian, South Indian and English were served for breakfast, not to forget the delicious Indian and Continental dishes for the main meals. An excellent service accompanied the high quality of the cooking. You can always get a smile out of the waiters. I could go on but suffice it to say I was very pleased with my stay, and although short and sweet this time, I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

    A very Small and lovely hotel where you can spend your time peacefully, The hotel is very close to the beach and which is located at the center of white town. The staff are the most important factor which gives the hotel an extra ordinary feel especially the lady Aswini is very good and enthusiastic all the staff where ready to help and they are ready to listen to the guest. The hotel is a french hotel which gives your time and money a real value, with a memorable holiday experience.

    Hotel is in the midst of french quarters and few blocks from rock beach.rooms are having good ambience and staff were too humble and cooperative.rooms were cozy and dont forget to eat dal fry and rice and egg bhurji that was awesume there. I stayed for 3 days and i ate everyday that was too mouth watering.all shanti villa, bakers street and le dupleix are at walkable distance from richmond

    I might be generous with rating, but you guys helped me create a fabulous memory with my family. Stay was amazing. Outside the hotel, you will notice the french architecture and interiors give a glimpse of keralite houses. Service is prompt and good. Food is worth tasting, will definitely recommend pasta. Overall, THE RICHMOND IS AMAZING and looking forward to come here again

    Great stay at the Richmond. Deluxe room was very pretty but a bit small in size but was clean and everything was in working condition from geyser to AC and hair dryer. An occasional mosquito was there but they provide mosquito repellant. Food was good especially the south Indian dishes. Staff was responsive and well mannered.

    Location is so perfect and very close to promenade beach. It's exactly infront of kamtchi biryani. Hotel is compact but Rooms are nice. Also the interiors are well crafted. Clean beds and washroom. Breakfast has variety and food is tasty. We enjoyed our stay, even celebrated kid birthday with staffs. Lovely experience

    Excellent rooms. Safe place to stay even for foreigners. Major tourist places are at a walkable distance. Saved some money and retained the peace of mind by avoiding local autos, who overcharge and resort to hooliganism towards tourists to meet their demands.
