  Had a recent stay for 3N at Anantha Heritage. This property is a true heritage home amd run very well by am extremely courteous staff. Nagraj as the manager and... read more Visalakshi as the receptionist were very courteous. Rest of the staff were ko less on this front. Rooms are huge and extremely clean. Have been to properties which in the name of heritage keep the furniture dusty and not polished. But here it was maintained very well. Didnt have food here so cant comment. The location is apt for those who like to explore the city. Everything is walking distance - 1km. It's right next to the famous varadaraja perumal temple. WhiteTown is 1km away. Parking is not easy being a narrow street but the staff always helps you to get a place around. In all a very pleasant stay. More

  A solo female traveller in Pondicherry, I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The hotel is in the heart of the city, without a noisy neighborhood. All... read more significant places are within a radius of 1-2 kilometers. The place is a cosy, snug little heritage house (built in 1760!), with tastefully done interiors. The place is small and if you're looking for an ultra luxurious space, you should perhaps choose a resort. But if you want a space that is clean with ethnic aesthetics (not overly glamorous or ostentatious) and with wonderfully warm people who'd go out of their way to help you, this place is for you! Thank you Anantha for providing me with a truly memorable stay. I am so so glad I chose this place 🙂 More

  First off, you feel very welcomed, you get greeted by the staff, one of them places a red dot on your forehead (I think it's called kumkum?) and check-in. I... read more arrived around noon and was kindly asked if I wanted to eat here. They showed me the hotel menu and I got to order a bit of food. One of the ladies working there brought me to my room. It was beautiful: high ceiling, big bed, a desk and some type of wooden resting chair. Almost didn't want to leave and visit the town! She got me a map of Pondicherry showing where the main tourist points were.
Honestly it's not too far away, unless you don't like walking but I thought it was a good distance from the center. From outside of the room you have a great view on one of the temples and at night see the lights and hear the bells.
The staff were very nice and efficient, always available if needed, the room was clean. If I ever come back to Pondicherry I'd go there!

  Hotel has a traditional look of a South Indian style house. Hotel shares the wall to the Varadharaja Perumal temple pond. Very beautiful to see a pond with water (in... read more Tamil Nadu). I traveled with 9 family members out of which 3 are Senior Citizens and they all enjoyed the stay. The staff of the hotel were very friendly and helped us with all our needs. Special thanks to Nagaraj, Sakthivel, Visalakshi and Ciril for helping us with all our needs. I would definitely visit again.

  Best place to stay in Pondicherry to get an authentic South Indian experience. The food was good and the service and care from the reception staff and the manager was... read more great. Would stay at Anantha heritage again when the next Pondicherry trip is due.

  Situated in a crowded area on a busy narrow street was certainly not my intention when I booked this highly reviewed and rated small hotel. Before I write further please... read more bear in mind that I visited pondichery in off season when it was unbearably hot and stuffy. It's a very small building on a narrow street easy to miss. Staff no doubt is praiseworthy. Room was big and bed was comfortable. AC was not effective since it was scorchingly hot outside. There is a very small TV and when you open the door there is a temple outside which people have liked in their reviews but I didn't. There is a small window which overlooks another room so you have to keep it shut. All the passages have low doors and anyone more than 5'6" height would bang their head. You can't walk down to beach as it is around a km away and there is heavy traffic. Choosing a hotel is all about liking and priorities and this one certainly didn't fit the bill for me.

  We were three people family,booked two rooms for two nights. Let me summarize main points:
1. They will provide parking space and a room for your driver also
2. The... read more food and kitchen staff are amazing here,don't underestimate for restaurants outside
3. Don't expect a typical hotel with gym,swimming pool experience.Go with looking out for a truly local tamilian experience with an old heritage feel.
4. The hotel staff is very welcoming an nice.
5. There is ac tv with decent number of channels. Most furniture is wooden based.
6. Location is very near to french town and rock beach.
7. Not much noise and peaceful environment even though situated very near busy MG road.
8.There is a little chess table on the ground floor for a quick timepass while waiting for your driver to come.
9.The pricing is bit higher side if comparing to overall hotel average in pondi but decently priced if comparing to heritage category only.
10. The high sleep beds,cots outside room,open space in the middle of the house,temple and fish pond view all are little things which add to the experience.

  We were a family of 5 and booked 2 rooms for 2 nights. The hotel did not have a car parking lot but the staff made space for the car... read more on the street outside. We loved the old world look and feel of the hotel. The temple next door was a special draw and it was great watching the temple tank from the balcony of the upper floor. The temple bells that rung very morning was a pleasant add on. We did visit the temple one evening. The beach and other attractions of Pondy were a short 5 min drive away. We had daily breakfast and one meal -a lunch - at the hotel and all food items well made and served. Overall a great stay.
