Above all, don't expect a charming hotel if you choose to stay at the Akshaya. He has none. As for comfort, it is quite relative to the price. The rooms are furnished very simply and have seen a lot of visitors. However, they are clean and that is why we have decided to inform the institution.

This small hotel located right opposite the bus station is one of the best cheap options in the neighbourhood. The rooms are clean even so decorated with some taste for the kitsch. The case of one night or two, they are perfect. There is a restaurant in the hotel.

Nothing luxurious here, but a certain comfort and a very good price-quality ratio. The address is much appreciated by travellers with a modest budget, and for good reason. The rooms, equipped with cable TV, and the common areas are impeccable. There's nothing wrong with the bathrooms either, with the recent layouts. Prefer the rooms on the back of the building, which are a little quieter and some have a balcony. The hotel is located about 1 kilometre east of the station, in a lively area with many restaurants.

The ITC of Chennai, near the airport, pays tribute to the Chola empire in a grandiloquent setting of marble and stucco corridors inspired by the most beautiful temples of Tamil Nadu.

A small swimming pool has been set up on the outskirts of the hanging garden. Breakfast is served at the Ginger House which borders the river. The rates are exorbitant, the benefits are adequate, and the whole is worth convincing.

One of the rare (very) rare budget traveller addresses in Pune. Ideally located opposite the train station, this colonial period houses rooms that have not had to be renovated since… the colonial period.

A few dilapidated cottages, slightly larger, and especially with a small private terrace, are located on the other side of the courtyard.
