Pune hotels & accommodations

I stayed at Pride hotel after 10 years, I found the same kind of hospitality that i had experienced back in 2009. Staff is familiar and courteous. Food is good. However, i was bit disappointed to notice improper cleanliness in my room this time, particularly bathroom. I could find dust flying around in the wardrobe, while taking out slippers from there. Request you to ...

Hotel is behind Apte Road just behind FC Road so the street noise is minor. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Best waffles I have had while on a travel anywhere. The rooftop was also great for watching IPL games on their big wall. Roomss were neat and clean. I will stay here on my next visit to Pune.

i,wish we had a few nights more to savour of the hotels comforts and location which was ideally in a resedential area ie a two minute walk to our residence at goodwill enclave.the cleanlines was impeccable backed by professional staff service hope they are able to sustain these standards and stay in the business longer the vegetarian restaraunt is one of its kind th...

I had booked this room for a client and.had specifically mentioned that they 'll be a couple with a young child however when they reached the hotel . They had to call me up and I had to request the front desk staff to let them in coz as per the staff the room was booked for 1 person. They made my guests wait for more than 45 mins before they gave them a room. I don't t...

Stayed there for 11 days and I would say excellent service. Nice and friendly staff. Clean rooms and facilities. Great room service, foods though a bit pricey and special mention to Sushant who was very concerned about how we found our food, very nice guy. There's a lot of choices for breakfast with very attentive staffs who always encouraged us to try the local India...

i loved staying in this hotel. the apartment was comfortable, clean, well maintained and spacious. kitchen was well appointed with a fridge, stove, all utensils, toaster, drip coffee maker. complimentary tea, instant coffee and 2 bottles of water daily. free use of laundry washing machine and dryer, and they provide washing powder at the front desk. the hotel provides ...

We stayed only for 2 nights but that was all the time Corinthians needed to make a lasting impression on us. Every employee we met, from doorman to senior managers there were extremely hospitable and genuinely interested in our welfare and always willing to help. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible, frequently checking in to see...

Stayed at St. Laurn for 2 nights in an executive twin room. The room was perfect, spacious, could adjust the aircon to my liking, good bathroom, what more do you want? Breakfast was included and it was okay, with the usual order your own dosa etc. The room service was good as well, with a variety of choices of Indian and Western food. Loved the Muligatawny soup. The ...

The hotel was ok, the room 422 was good, but the facilities was horrible. There was NOTHING in the bathroom, NO lotion, liquid soap for bathing and liquid shampoo. I have travelled and stayed even in a 2 star hotel where they provided everything. This is supposed to be a 4 star Hotel. I had to literally beg for lotion, then when i went for a shower, there was NO sh...

I have stayed here 5 times in the past 2 months. This review is after 5 different experiences. The Hotel Location is a big plus point. Under 10 minutes from Station, touches the M G Road/Eat Streets. Provides quick connectivity to Swargate (15 mins). The staff at the hotel is courteous and polite. The rooms are good and well maintained. It's an old hotel, so some sq...

I visited Pune to meet a friend and stayed here for 1 night only. The best part of the hotel - it is bang opposite Pune railway station hence didn’t need to travel a long distance.. kudos to the strategic location! The lobby is warm and welcoming with chandelier and nice peacock paintings which set a warm and welcome tone. I am told the hotel is refurbished and has ...

Hotel Sagar Plaza I booked for nostalgia. 25yrs ago my Father had brought me to this four star hotel for my engineering admission process. This time I got my kids. The hotel is nice although furniture looks a bit outdated and bathroom water flow etc could be better. What makes it great four star stay is the staff. They are super excellent. The breakfast is good and sta...

This is the best hotel, which I stayed during 4 cities trip in INDIA. The hotel's room, facilities, restaurant, and staff are excellent. The location is a bit out of attractions, however I had a conference in the hotel so no complaint. It is great for staying here, Conrad -Pune.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it's by far the best hotel I've stayed at in India, during my past month of traveling. Front desk staff, porters, cleaners, restaurant manager and staff all very friendly. Great variety of food at buffet breakfast. Restaurant food is high quality. Rooms are comfortable, cleaned every day with great ventilation. Bathroom is spotless w...

I would say that this was a birthday celebration getaway for me. At first I though that would a business hotel be a great choice, but once i reached there i was right in making my decision.

Cheap places to stay in Pune

I had wonderful stay in Pune at this charming place. Staff is so friendly and helpful. He let me early check in, also gave me map of the city, and gave me so many suggessions. Dorm was clean and comfortable. Location was also good. Most of ny honestay in India was not wifi. Even hostels have no wifi. This place has a good wifi. Good place with good price in India! High...

First of all, if you're looking for wifi access, forget what they say. You will only get 75MB a day (!) of mediocre speed, after which it will slow down beyond usable. This will only work if you ask staff to register your devices with their Indian phone numbers, if you don't happen to have one. You will need to provide password every few hours. Also don't expect the si...

I was very impressed by the economical and trendy design, space saving, yet not compromising ample room space. Walking distance to Phoenix Marketcity and a short auto ride away from Koregaon Park and Aga Khan Palace.

Overall our experience was great. Staff were fantastic. Room provided was comfortable and decently maintained. Toilet was spacious and clean.

This hotel has no kitchen. Food ordered by menu card is brought from nearby resturant. There is a 40/50min. delay. Also there is problem with crockery/cutlery. Payment for food has to be made for every individual parcel. Otherwise, it is a good hotel, with helpful staff.

The location is pretty good on the side of the main road, but could be noisy. You will easily get auto or taxi and there is parking available behind the hotel. The room is cramped and much smaller than the pictures. The maintenance, etc, is so so. You only have the bed and a wall wardrobe, which takes up most of the room space. Very few channels on the TV.

We visited this property with a group of friends and hired 4 rooms. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and understanding. The location could be a little away from the highway but if you are looking for a peaceful place, you surely have found a good property. We did not have breakfast since we had other plans but the rates seem reasonable. The rooms are extremely spa...

I stayed over for a night, booked a suite. The hotel is in a bad condition. Unlike what you see in the pictures. The lift itself isn't clean and not maintained. There were two TVs in the room, none s working. No matter how many times i called up the room service, they couldn't make it run. They say the wifi is free, but you would not be able to connect it. Trust me, I'...

Though in a pristine location, the hotel was quite dirty. I had high expectations being a 4-star hotel, but those expectations died out after I saw my room. The floor was unclean and there were bed bugs. The restaurant were we dined at night was not clean when we went for breakfast. I was also under the impression that the breakfast was complimentary, which I found was...

It was our first stay in Hyatt chain of hotels. As a brand we had our own set of expectations and to our surprise it did meet all our expectations. Hyatt Place is situated at the start of Hinjewadi which is quite accesible from Mumbai Pune expressway. The check in formalities was done with an ease and in no time. Thanks to the wonderful staff. The hotel has a extra...

It was a wonderful experience at the hotel Gateway in Pune. Everything is commendable about the Hotel. I would never recommended anyone to book through Agoda. There was a mistake in my booking and inspite of trying many times there was no response from Agoda. They just keep you waiting on the IVR. Never again Agoda

The Pune Marriott Hotel and Convention Centre is elegant and beautifully styled. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are modern. But the jewel in the crown is definitely the Shakahari Restaurant led by Harkaran Singh and offering a fusion of vegetarian cuisines prepared in multiple Asian and Indian styles with outstanding friendly service.

We stayed at the 3BR suite. The rooms were clean. Buffet breakfast was great. Staff and service was extremely warm, friendly and helpful. 10 on 10 for the staff, from the valet to the security guards to every interaction that we had with the guest services staff. Exceptional!

As expected from Taj group of hotel, the stay at Vivanta by Taj - Blue Diamond was a beautiful experience. Everything was just too perfect..the hospitality, the room and the food. Considering that we two girls are travelling from Mumbai to Pune early morning and reaching Pune at 9 am, Mr. Matin and the front desk team took extra care and made the room available for us ...

I undertook their Fitness Challenge programme which was tailored to my needs. The ambiance was awesome. The staff were most knowledgeable and helpful . Their physio dept is most professional . Restaurants and cuisine is well presented and delicious . Overall outstanding.

Real reviews for hotels
very nice city with a lot of character and individuality. People are friendly, weather is great all year (thats what I heard from locals).
Pune is a quieter version of Mumbai. A nice place to visit, shop and discover the Indian culture. The University of Pune and its various colleges are a great attraction for international students.
Smallish Indian city with decent shopping, but pretty heavy traffic. Lots of green leafy areas. Well known for many good colleges.
Good City, but difficult to travel within the city in absence of public transport in some areas like Hinjewadi.
i had seen lots of cinema and oter histrocial places and even mahableshwar is also very close to pune.
Not much,its just not a very clean city,no proper road signs to guide you through the city.The local population seems quiet ignorant about certain areas.
Negotiate a taxi package for the day inclusive kilometres then you get good value travel. Plan youritinary and have an idea where you are going as its a big area with lots to see v
The climate is pretty good. Doesn't get too hot, recommended for those who want to have business meeting.
Pune is situated at hight and hence climatically pretty good. In old time [17/18th Century]it was capital of Maratha Kingdome but not much is left now except a ruined palace.
Very Nice and a young city. people are good. Small city with all amenities. Nice place to relax. Good for religios tours as well.
Very lively city with lots of shopping spots,affordable transport(tuk Tuk), variety of food and historical attractions around city.
Its a historical city of Maratha Kings and it has certain places like Shaniwar wada and Prvati hill which carry the history within.
pune is a lovely city, not too crowded and the people are very friendly. for transportation from the airport i would recommend using a company called wings.
I made a trip to an ipl game which was good fun but the stadium is a long way outside of pune and leaving the game was a nightmare.
Not so happening city, real problem with the inter-city transportation, taxis not available easily, auto-rickshaws are available but they charge high
Great city, I would suggest staying near the osho ashram even if you don't intend on going there, the area around it is beautiful.
Pune is a youthful and vibrant place with loads of places to treat your taste buds. Also lots of places around Pune provide majestic view during monsoons.
