Wi-Fi, parking, amenities and transport options added to the convenience, while the overall experience offered good value for money. A comfortable and reliable choice for a hassle-free stay
The Stay @ Pride was just too awesome. The room had impeccably arranged stuff.

Staff is cordial and understanding, Best at this price range in Central Pune. Great food and the best stay one can have at this price.
The hotel was fine. Staff were great. There were just a few things that required some attention. There were stains in the curtains and the bathroom blind. No hand towel, just one big towel, fridge wasn't cold. But if you are only sleeping in the room and out exploring all day, then it's fine.
centrally located, neat & clean specious AC rooms.
Many Indian hotels do not have bathtubs in the rooms, but this one had one. The hotel staff was very kind and the service was excellent. In addition, the rate was cheaper because it was a same-day reservation. There is a mall nearby, and you can walk there.
My sister and I booked this property as a two-night getaway for Raksha-Bandhan. We were given an upgrade when we requested for it. The rooms were spacious, quiet and well maintained.

Awesome property. Great service. Great breakfast buffet. Lovely pool and lovely games
The property is conveniently located just across the Osho in Pune. A clean, luxurious room with luxury hotel amenities in the room. The hospitalily was top notch, and food was nice too. Should consider if wanting to stay in heart of pune city in Koregaon.
Hotel room is a very compact one, wall and ceilings need painting. Does not have a freshness in the room. Located in a quiet place, staff are courteous and helping.
It's close to both Pune Station and the Ruby Clinic Metro Station. I think the competition is tough with new hotels being built, but the rooms are spacious, maintenance is decent, and most importantly, the food is delicious. The menu is diverse, so I never got bored. The price is reasonable.
The hotel is at a very good location next to Blue Diamond hotel and with good restaurants near by. Kopa mall is very near. Staff is very polite and supportive. Rooms are spacious and clean. Got a good deal on Agoda. Breakfast is awesome. Beer bucket packages are great value for money.
I found the hotel to be a very good stay for the attractive prices. The staff is very helpful as well. Thank you so much for the stay.
The accommodation was clean, and the staff were very friendly, allowing for a comfortable stay.

The overall experience was bad. There were 100’s of houseflies in the restaurant. A party was taking place next to the room allotted to me. The loud music continued till 2AM and despite my request to the front office to do something about it, they chose not to do anything. A slur on the HHI brand, that’s what this place is.

Beds are full of cockroaches and fungus. But some of the rooms are great. If you get a bad room, just ask the receptionist to change the room and they will do their best.
We had 2 bhk appartment. It was spacious, had large kitchen dinning sofa. Flat was clean. Breakfast has reasonably good. Location is very good close to main Street but inside enough to be quite.
Room was spacious with clean washrooms. Staff was very nice and responsive to any queries. Good food and nice gym to workout.
Perfect property close to SEZ offices in Kharadi. Clean, cozy, sufficiently spacious. Staff is polite. Hassle-free check-in and check-out. Decent breakfast spread and room service till 11.30pm. Can't ask for more.

Stayed here during Diwali — had a wonderful experience. The staff were excellent, very attentive, and service was prompt. However, it’s quite on the expensive side — the stay, lunch/hi-tea, and dinner buffet are all priced high, though the à la carte menu is relatively more affordable.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable little cockroach infestation in some rooms with wooden decor. New rooms don't have that issue. I stayed here 3 times. Rest it's one of the best in the area

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.
