A nicely restored and maintained heritage property, well-located not far from the French quarter. The room was large and comfortable. Good value for money, with breakfast included. Food in the hotel restaurant was limited to Indian only, as against the extensive menu, as their chef had left. But the staff were helpful in providing and creating alternatives not on the... More

First the basics, location of the property, Calve, is excellent, on the Mission St; hardly 500-600m walk from the Promenade (walk straight down the road on the left side on exiting the hotel). The building is pretty old, colonial period but you cannot make out, especially from the inside. I stayed in the Chettinad Room on first floor - actually... More

1. Calve is a very centrally located hotel. Just off the main market street (Mission Street), many eating options within walking distance, the beach & the french town is a 10 mins walk away. The street where the hotel is located is very residential and peaceful. 2. The Hotel staff (especially the manager Mr. NandaGopal) is very helpful and welcoming.... More

First of all, this hotel was quite tricky to find, jumping in a tut-tut from the local bus station the drivers a short while later did not "know" where the hotel was....pulling a... More

We stayed at Calve for a weekend in April. It is a decent hotel however we believe that there are better options available in Puducherry for the same or lower price. Some points to keep in mind while deciding on this hotel: 1. Very nice old heritage building with very spacious rooms and nice furniture 2. In a street in... More

A great place but requires improvement in almost all aspects of catering to guests.. The service needs to spruced up quiet a bit in terms of timing & quality.. The staff though freindly are sometimes lost.. Lack of parking is a draw back.. food was tasty.. A bit over priced for the experience..

I booked this hotel through Yatra.com they recommended it and called the hotel "star" rated. To start with, I think most people know not to stay there, that's why the hotel was almost empty despite it being a long weekend and everything around Pondicherry being overbooked! The service was terrible, we asked for hot water for our child one night,... More

This old townhouse has been converted in a quirky mixture of old and modern which kind of grows on you. Our room was big, furnishings were minimal but adequate, bathroom small and lacking hot water. Food was indian with a french influence as you might expect in Pondicherry. The chef had gone sick when we were there and the waiters... More
