La Closerie - Bay of Bengal

Loved the quaintness of this place and the various outdoor seating/lounging options. It's best thr promenade and all the major/good eatieries. The staff is very very nice and courteous and helpful. Having said the above, the following is what will make me choose some other hotel in future: 1. The washroom is very badly planned. Typical of South India, there is no shower curtain nor partition in the shower area. After a shower the entire floor gets flooded. Secondly thr basin and faucet choice is so bad that when tap is opened your crotch area will get wet! Water splashes in such a manner. 2.the breakfast timing (9-10am) is very very limiting esp for an early riser. Even though they have just 7 rooms breakfast should start an hour early.

Stayed here for a week in upstairs room. Very spacious with lots of shelves, modern bathroom, AC and fan. Great location in one of Pondy’s best street. Breakfast is only served 9-10am which can be quite late for travellers. Also there’s no free filtered water for guests so you have to buy plastic bottles not great for the environment! The pool is nice and I liked that there are different little communal spaces to hang out in. It’s a shame that the kitchen is only open for one hour at breakfast, it would have been good to have lunch or dinner up there sometimes. All in all it’s a nice safe space for a female solo traveller.

We were a family of 15 staying at this sweet villa . It’s at a vantage point as far as location goes . 5 min from beach . N in the French quarters . It’s a great place to stay if you have a big group . Big rooms ( except one ) a small cute pool for kids ( n a good prop for pics ) , lazed out open spaces for evening chats , top floor for a chatty dinner . The chef is good n catered to our odd hour requests . The owner Roshan is an excellent host . He is there to help you out anytime . We did our city tour also with him . La Closerie is a perfect place to stay with friends and family .

We booked a large room . The photos seem large and elegant . Very overpriced for this low quality. No windows in room not furnished as photo no bathroom supplies 2 PowerPoints for 3 peoples computers and phones our daughter had to make the bed herself and ask for a towel . The staff was very unprofessional but friendly . The young boy who checked us in didn’t really know what he was doing. There is no chair or wardrobe I stayed at this hotel before but it had a different owner and was a family rum business. The common area is not really clean and taken care off
