Pune's Hidden Gem: Hotel Ashish Plaza - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! You're about to get the real lowdown on Hotel Ashish Plaza. Forget the glossy brochures, I'm talking unfiltered, honest, maybe-a-little-too-much-coffee-fueled review. This isn't your average hotel experience, and trust me, I've seen a few.
SEO-Packed Keyword Frenzy (but hopefully, it'll be fun too!)
Let's get this out of the way: Hotel Ashish Plaza in Pune – get it? Okay, good. This place is a real contender if you're looking for luxury hotels in Pune, especially if you need wheelchair accessible hotels in Pune. It’s also a fantastic choice if you're searching for something with pool with view, spa/sauna, a killer restaurant, and all the room amenities you could dream of. Did I mention free Wi-Fi in all rooms!? Because seriously, it's a big deal.
The Grand Entrance (and My First Impatience)
Okay, so picture this: you arrive, exhausted from a long day of… well, whatever brings you to Pune. Airport transfer, thankfully, was seamless – thank god because I was hangry. The doorman was there, all smiles and politeness, swooping in to grab my bags. First impression? Clean, polished, and… a little too perfect. I'm a sucker for a bit of character, a hint of lived-in charm. But hey, the elevator was readily available, a lifesaver with all my luggage.
Rooms: My Sanctuary (and a Minor Hiccup)
My room? OH. MY. GOD. Seriously. Air conditioning, check. Blackout curtains, double check. And a bed that swallowed me whole (in the best possible way). There was a desk perfect for catching up on emails (that I inevitably put off), a refrigerator stocked with goodies, and a coffee/tea maker that was practically begging me to use it. The Wi-Fi [free] worked like a charm (thank you, gods of high-speed internet!).
But… here's a little confession. The first time I checked in there was a minor hiccup, the room had a tiny spot of dirt near the floor near the balcony - the horror! I’m totally kidding, it was fixed in minutes after I complained. But it does go to show you how quickly they jump on things.
The Spa: Where My Stress Melted Away (and I Nearly Fell Asleep)
Listen, I'm not usually a spa person. I'm more of the "grab a beer and watch TV" type. But, this place. The spa with steamroom was calling my name. I indulged in a body wrap and a massage, and honestly, I think I levitated for a solid hour. It was total bliss. Seriously, this place is a must-do if you're feeling overwhelmed, especially after a day of battling Pune's traffic.
Food, Glorious Food! (and the Breakfast Buffet That Almost Broke Me)
Let's talk food. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was on point - delicious! But the buffet in restaurant! Oh, the breakfast of champions was insane. Everything from the Asian breakfast to the Western breakfast was there. Waffles, omelets, the works. They even had a little display of desserts! My inner child was ecstatic. It's safe to say I may, or may not, have eaten my weight in tiny pancakes. And yes, there was a coffee/tea in restaurant at all times, so I had breakfast heaven.
I also have experienced their Breakfast in Room service. And let me tell you, it's a game changer. The Room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver, and the Happy hour at the Poolside bar makes for a perfect evening.
Accessibility: A Big Thumbs Up!
For anyone needing wheelchair accessible features, Hotel Ashish Plaza scores major points. They really get it. Wide hallways, easy access to the restaurants, and the pool with view. Everything was thought of, making it a genuinely inclusive experience. Other mentionables: accessible elevator, facilities for disabled guests, and a commitment to making everyone feel comfortable.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because, You Know… COVID (and Not Just That)
Listen, post-pandemic, safety is paramount. Hotel Ashish Plaza gets that. They had hand sanitizer everywhere, used anti-viral cleaning products, and the staff was clearly trained in safety protocol. They take their Hygiene certification seriously. I saw them actively applying Daily disinfection in common areas. Also, room sanitization opt-out available – always a good sign. They had Staff trained in safety protocol and even had Physical distancing of at least 1 meter and all the other measures. You can tell they care.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
Okay, so they have a concierge, luggage storage, a laundry service (needed!), and a dry cleaning service for those fancy outfits. The Cash withdrawal option was super convenient. It's the little touches that make a big difference. They offer Daily housekeeping and Invoice provided without asking.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and Maybe Even a Business Trip (shudder)
This place actually caters to everything. Want to relax? Pool, spa, sauna, done. Feeling energetic? The Fitness center is top-notch. Need to get some work done? The Business facilities, including meeting/banquet facilities and seminars, seem well-equipped. They even have audio-visual equipment for special events and a projector/LED display. Plus, there’s a Terrace for chilling. Seriously, it’s all there.
My Quirky Observations and Imperfections (because, real life!)
- The gym? Tempting, but mostly I just ended up looking at it wistfully while eating another pancake.
- The bottle of water in the room was a lifesaver. Hydration is key, people!
- The lobby felt a little sterile. I'd love to see a bit more art or something to add some personality. But this is just me rambling.
- Some of the staff spoke English with a slight accent, which at times took a second to understand. But they were all helpful and patient.
Conclusion: Is Hotel Ashish Plaza Worth It?
Absolutely. It’s a splurge, yes. But you're paying for quality, comfort, and a genuinely relaxing experience. And, you know, sometimes you deserve that. It’s a great choice whether you're traveling for business, leisure, or, as in my case, a bit of both.
My Final, Unfiltered Verdict: Go. Book it. Pamper yourself! Tell them I sent you (they won't know who I am, but hey, I tried).

Escape to Paradise: Maerim's Hidden Gems in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because here is my, ahem, "itinerary" for a stay at the Hotel Ashish Plaza in Pune, India. Let's be honest, planning this thing was a bit like wrestling a particularly stubborn goat, but hey, that's half the fun, right? (Disclaimer: I’m writing this AFTER the trip, and my memory of specific times is… well, let’s just say “fuzzy.”)
The Hotel Ashish Plaza – A Tale of Two Check-Ins (and a Bit of Laundry Regret)
- Arrival (or, the Battle for the Tiny Shower):
- Time: Let's call it "early afternoon," because jet lag is a cruel mistress.
- The Scene: Pune airport. Surprisingly efficient, actually. Then, the glorious, honking, chaotic symphony that is Indian traffic. Seriously, imagine every car, rickshaw, and motorcycle doing a synchronized dance of near-death experiences. It’s… invigorating.
- Hotel Ashish Plaza – First Impressions: Okay, not the Taj Mahal, but clean enough, and that’s what counts after a 20-hour flight. The lobby…well, it had a TV playing Bollywood music videos. I’m not sure if I loved it or was utterly bewildered. The initial check-in? Smooth. The room? Simple. The shower? Tiny. Like, maybe I could stand in it, but any movement larger than a hummingbird flap would be a logistical challenge. But hey, hot water!
- Immediate Reaction: Exhaustion. Hunger. The desperate need for a proper cup of chai and a moment of quiet. I also noticed my phone had died. Sigh.
- Action: Found the café. Ordered chai (delicious!). Stumbled around the room looking for a plug point (there was one, hidden behind the bed…which required a full-body contortion act to reach). Decided I’d unpack later.
- Afternoon Wanderings (and the Great Lost Socks of Pune):
- Time: Post-chai, pre-shower. Let’s say “late afternoon” again. The sun was already starting to cast those long, golden shadows that make everything in India look magical.
- The Plan (loosely): Find a decent restaurant. Explore the area around the hotel. Not get lost (a recurring theme, as it turns out).
- The Reality: Found a restaurant, a bustling little place with amazing smells wafting onto the street. Ordered a plate of something spicy, and then, as it was being prepared and I was people-watching, realized the laundry bag (with all my clean socks) I'd planned to take with me had probably been picked up and lost.
- The Emotional Rollercoaster: Initial joy at the food prospects, quickened and heightened awareness of the world around me, slowly settling into the pit of dread that comes with losing things you really need (like, you know, socks). And so, a great mood collapse.
- Quirky Observation: Indian traffic is even more insane when you're HANGRY. The rickshaw drivers seem to have a "blink and you'll miss it" philosophy of road safety.
- Back at the Hotel: Took a long, hot, tiny shower (still a challenge). Unpacked. Looked for socks (still, no luck). Mentally prepared myself for wearing the same two pairs for the next several days.
- The Evening Meal and the Unexpected Delight of a Thali:
- Time: Evenings, or, more accurately, "when my stomach starts to scream."
- The Scene: Back at the restaurant. Determined to have a "good" time.
- Meal of Choice: Thali. I had never had a thali before. It arrived, a silver platter overflowing with little bowls of curries, dals, chutneys, and rice. It was a beautiful explosion of colors and aromas.
- Emotional Reaction: Utter, unadulterated joy. The flavors! The textures! The sheer variety! Suddenly, sock-lessness felt… almost acceptable. (Almost.)
- Quirky Observation: Eating with your hands is messy, but liberating. Especially when the food is this good.
- Evening Activities: Sat on the bed in the hotel room, feeling pleasantly full and happy. Watched some TV (more Bollywood). Fell asleep surprisingly early.
- A Morning of Regrets, and the Redemption of Chai:
- Time: Morning. Specifically, the morning after discovering my socks had been taken.
- The Scene: The room, bathed in the harsh, unflattering light of the morning.
- The Mood: Hungover from overeating the night before and the weight of my lost socks.
- Quirky Observation: Hotel pillows have a certain…stiffness.
- The Action: Dragging myself to the café, knowing whatever happened, I'd need a good chai.
- Day Trip to… something:
- Time: All day.
- The Scene: The hotel had a car service, so I hired a driver. I told the driver I wanted to go somewhere to see something. I wasn't expecting there would be some confusion about where that place happened to be.
- The Emotion: A bit of both because I was able to see some things I had never seen before, and a strong feeling of frustration.
- Quirky Observation: The driver was really happy to drive me around, the car was old and worn, but he really tried to make my day better.
- The Last Dinner (and the Search for Socks, Continued):
- Time: Evening, final night.
- The Scene: Back at the hotel, packing to leave, trying to make peace with the tiny shower.
- Final Realization: Never found those socks. They're probably off on some grand adventure in Pune, wearing the adventures I will never know.
- Emotional Reaction: Mild acceptance, then a deep sigh. Found the hotel laundry service, though, and managed to get a new batch.
- Final Thoughts: Hotel Ashish Plaza was… an experience. It wasn't perfect, but it was real. It was India. And the chai was amazing. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I be packing extra socks? You bet your sweet bippy.
