Hotel Esparan Heritage

Esparan Heritage was our choice after running out of options in securing a room closer to the White town. This hotel is about 3 kms from the promenade. We had come by car, but couldn't use it much as the road is very narrow and once we had got our reserved parking in a lot owned by the hotel, we didn't want to move it until necessary. The road the hotel is situated is very congested and any big vehicle getting in needs to be navigated well. But in its range - 2000+rs tariff, Esparan has a charm, once we step inside. The walls are white and the wood work is a good contrast and is pleasing to the eye. The rooms are large and the bed is good too. We loved the fish pond and the small eat out on the terrace where the breakfast is served. Room 205 where we stayed had a water drainage problem and the health faucet didn't work properly. It was not very pleasant to step on water that is accumulated on the floor of the bathroom. Plus the rooms we stayed in opened only on to the balcony. The staff are very helpful and polite. It is a clean, safe place to stay with family.

The family suite we stayed in was clean and spacious, with a hallway leading to the room, and included a balcony. The staff was also very helpful. The property is located in Heritage town and is very close to Eswaran temple. It is within walkable distance to MG road.The hotel, however, does not have a restaurant but offers breakfast with a limited spread, which was not very appealing. Be sure to keep the balcony doors closed in the evenings, else you will have to deal with mosquitos.

We stayed here for a night and loved it. The space is clean and nicely furnished. The staff is very helpful. It is conveniently located and walkable to most placed you would want to visit when in Pondicherry.

Located in the Heritage town of Pondicherry, FabHotel Esparan Heritage is an old property. One gets a feel of the french architecture and the furniture in the rooms are antique. Though it is located in a busy market, once you are inside you get insulated from the exterior noises It is near to major attractions like the Promenade, Museum, Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Rock Beach. There are no good food options nearby though the hotel restaurant on the top floor provide simple, neat and clean breakfast. The staff is cordial and informative as well. We visited in July 2018 and some renovation work was going on. Hope its finished by now!!

I would like to give this property 10 stars. Its a 70 year old property turned into a gorgeous hotel which has a homely feel to it and is located conveniently close to all the sightseeing places. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest at Esparan Heritage. The room is tastefully done which has the old style furniture to give it a heritage look. Even though the property is located on a busy street, the moment you enter inside you get a feeling of calmness. Ambience is great. They have a nice restaurant which serves simple and tasty hot breakfast. We loved the idlis and chutney and sambhar(perfect home style) and dosas made by Mr Shakti. The manager, Mr Anthony is a very kind person. He is very informative and excellent at his service. The staff is good and cordial. They also provide bikes on rent. Also on our way back to Chennai airport, we did a quick day tour to Mahaballipuram the itinerary for it was perfectly designed by Mr Anthony. The car which we hired through him was nice with a good chaffuer. We enjoyed our trip a lot. Thank you Mr Anthony for all your sightseeing recommendations. We will definitely stay at your property ONLY, when we travel to Pondicherry again :) Awesome and comfortable heritage stay !
