Palais de Mahe - a CGH Earth Experience

房間很大，泳池也夠美，早餐很豐盛，夠新鮮和營養。就是地處中心區，隔壁又在裝修。想要安靜的人可能會失望。不過前台允許提前一天退房，多次溝通後收到退款，贊！

Amazing hotel in all respects: location could not be better placed in the French Quarter and near the beach, all staff members we exceptional, quality, warmth and professionalism of service, wonderful atmosphere, amazing food - both variety and quality, rooms are just stunning, pool area beautiful and many facilities available.... everything impressive and special. I've travelled extensively around the world and have never felt more welcome, safe and comfortable. Thank you to the entire team.

We stayed briefly at the CGH Earth Palais de Mahe on the pretty city of Pondicherry. It has a heritage feel but is a reproduction and a modern building. It’s in an excellent location, just one block from the sea front with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Check in was smooth and efficient, check out was the same. There is a very small pool in the central courtyard, sadly not used by anyone during our stay as there was major building works in the property next door, so lots of noise from early until late evening. The neighbourhood in general is quite noisy so light sleepers will need to be prepared. Pondicherry seems to be the site of a lot of new building now. We ordered lunch from the café near Reception. The food was average and the service a little slow. Dinner and breakfast were available in the restaurant terrace at the top of the hotel. We had a very good fish dinner and breakfast the next morning was very good, with cereal, toast, coffee, tea, eggs, fruit and many other options made to order. Service can take a little while but is very attentive and the terrace is a very nice setting to enjoy your meals. Choices were on a blackboard in the restaurant. Authentic French pastries would be a welcome addition in this former French colony. Our room was large and comfortable, with a wardrobe, a small safe, a good-sized bathroom, decent Wi-Fi, a TV with international channels, tea and coffee making facilities and air conditioning. The doors were old with large gaps, so bugs may get in, but the hotel did provide plug in anti-mosquito aerosol. Overall, we liked our time at the Palais de Mahe, it’s strong environmental and preserving the city’s heritage and we found it a convenient base to explore the city.
