Review Of Blue Diamond, Pune - IHCL SeleQtions

It was a very nice experience at Blue Diamond - IHCL SeleQtions, Pune. The staff is quite helpful, checkin experience was very quick and nice. Rooms were clean. Nice spread at Breakfast and we were well looked after. Overall a very good experience.

Hotel was good and executive suite room was also spacious but the property needs overhauling to match Taj brand. Food and drinks were also good but overpriced looking to the property. Overall had a pleasant stay as the location is very good so also the hospitality extended by the staff.

small room not getting towel slipper clean room staff behavior is nice this is the first 5 star hotel of pune

Hospitality of the staff is exceptional and very reputable... Would love to be a guest here again in future!

The staff was nice but the property is old. Nothing great about the rooms etc. they didn’t have earl grey tea. Nothing special.

Average stay. While the staff , food and hygiene are exceptional , the property is average in terms of comfort. it is an old hotel and beds are small for a tall person. breakfast is OK to Good.

It was an excellent property, check in was quick, rooms were well maintained, food was excellent Service was quick and very good Overall a enjoyable and comfortable and peaceful stay

The room was very basic and compact and definitely not justifying a Taj property.. Only the breakfast was great.

Great nostalgic decor very good clean rooms and different types of cuisine available in the coffee shop Very convenient location close to all the main sites for sightseeing and temples.

Nice location, delicious food, helpful staff however over priced, rooms need more maintenance, TV etc still of old style.

I recently stayed at Blue Diamond Pune, which is known to be one of the city’s earliest 5-star hotels. While the property has its charm and heritage value, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed with the overall experience—especially when weighed against the price I paid. Let’s start with the positives: • Service was warm and prompt, in true Taj fashion. • Breakfast was a standout – a wide variety of options and clearly a kitchen led by capable chefs. However, there are several areas that need attention: • The rooms feel old and not very well maintained. For a Taj property, I was expecting a refreshed look, especially since I had visited two years ago and noticed little to no improvement. • At the current pricing, it does not feel like value for money, especially considering newer, better-maintained luxury hotels in Pune. A major letdown was with MakeMyTrip. At the time of booking, I was promised a ₹2000 Taj voucher to be shared via WhatsApp. Not only did MakeMyTrip never send the voucher, but even the Taj reception made no mention of it. When I followed up, both parties kept shifting responsibility. I even called MakeMyTrip customer care, and despite being a Platinum member, I received no resolution or even a call back. Very unprofessional and disappointing.
