Elby, in charge at the property is very helpful and friendly. Individuals like him make the stay / overall experience memorable.

Some loud fans/ventilation noise external to the room which made it difficult to sleep.

Authentic French-Tamil property. Staff very attentive and nice breakfast.

My bathroom was very tiny (I was in room 1), but otherwise everything was good. My room had a four poster bed which would be a challenge for anyone over 5’9” (I’m just about that, and was hitting my feet on the end board). Talk people avoid 4poster bed rooms!

Lovely heritage hotel with fabulous lush garden restaurant where food was delicious. Super helpful staff, and lots of activities suggested (in usual fab CGH Earth way). Excellent value for money given some of the Pondy alternatives, but you’re a little outside the French Quarter as a result.

I can't rate Maison Perumal highly enough! The building is beautiful, and our room was wonderful, large, very comfortable, with black-out curtains, and facing into a quiet courtyard filled with plants. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and helped us to organise activities and trips. We participated in a cooking demonstration which was fantastic - and breakfast and dinner in the restaurant were delicious. Thank you!

Nothing loved everything about the place

If you want to experience life in an original house this is an ideal place. Loved the courtyard and all the original features of the house. The staff are all so friendly and very obliging you get the feeling of living in a home. I have watched Indian movies and I was able to experience life in one of the traditional homes. Loved it

Had the best time at Maison Perumal. I immediatly felt at home. The old house has a lot of charm, amd the patios feel very relaxing, with breeze coming through. The food is excellent. The room was very large and everything was perfect, well arranged and extra clean. Finally, the location is great as you step out in the Tamil town with temple events at the end of the street.

That I had to leave.

It is fantastic to stay in a historic building. The room was comfortable and facilities all clean. The best part though was the amazing staff, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

The rooms seem to be a bit dark, not a lot of lighting. Kept the shutters closed during the day to keep the heat out

The staff, Elba. E.J, Ishana and Malaisami, were extremely friendly and helpful and always had a smile . Nothing was too much trouble, they were delightful . They organised all our sightseeing trips, including ensuring we had enough water. The breakfasts were great, plenty of western and Indian choices. The restaurant dinner meals were all very good and good value. The old building was stunning. We would stay again as the staff were so personable.

Room 10 on the 2nd floor has a very high bed and requires a foot stool to get on to it. Can be a problem for a senior citizen to get on and get off to visit the bathroom, especially at night. Also, there is no room for the bedside tables on either side to be placed beside the bed. They have to be placed behind the headboard and as such difficult to reach while lying down.

Centrally located, Maison Perumal is a lovely hotel, staffed by people who really know to look after their guests. One felt totally at home. The food served in the restaurant was good and the breakfast excellent. Overall a good stay.
