“Good location, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Its not a great hotel, but then its not bad either. Considering that the only 'star' hotel in the vicinity is "The Pride", Oakwood offers the business traveller the bare minimum. The management is aware of that fact that if someone has business in Deccan or Shivaji Nagar area, 50% chances that they will stay at their property. So the staff generally take their guests for-granted.

The toileteries are not good, you should carry your own set. The breakfast buffet is limited and bland. You get that cramped feeling in the lobby, reception and in the corridors. Parking space is a huge issue and you will always have to be ready to move your car. The bedding is average but clean, the toilets are also clean.

So, stay if you have to be in the vicinity, else avoid. This hotel is very expensive when compared to even better 5 star properties.

Room Tip: Go for the Front view rooms if you must.

“Business Hotel with basic amenities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

The Oakwood is primarily a business hotel tucked away in the Deccan area of Pune, an unassuming exterior makes it difficult to locate the first time around.
A minute lobby welcomes you in, checkin process is by and large smooth and quick. Tie-ups with corporate houses and large companies ensure availability of rooms at reasonable tariffs.
Rooms are reasonably large and clean. Breakfast included, however the spread is not too good. No eggs/non-vengetarian items on the menu.
Room service is quick and the portions are large. Staff is a generally helpful. A good bet if you want to spend a couple of days in Pune without spending too much, this hotel works just fine.

“Fine for a brief stay/ business trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2010

This used to be a really nice hotel very centrally located in Pune, and reasonably priced. However the rooms are now getting a little tired, and could do with some new furniture/ curtains. Also on my most recent visit, my room reeked of cigarette smoke, which was not pleasant. However, overall, the rooms and bathrooms are very clean.

The internet connection was awful for a business hotel. The food was average, but there are a lot of nice places to eat at FC road ( 5 minutes away) so we didn’t eat at the hotel apart from one meal. We usually pick this place because of the location – its off the main road, and relatively quiet, but still only a short walk from FC road where much of the action is.

The staff could be a lot better trained. They are mostly male, and tend to gawk, (one waiter letched outright) but when I complained to the Management, they took it seriously, and ensured that my dinner was brought upto my room by the female receptionist when I ordered late at night. I must say, overall, I felt fairly comfortable staying here, and will stay there again when I’m in Pune for business.
