HOSHTEL99 - LUX
A budget pool stay near Aga Khan Palace
About this hotel
HOSHTEL99 - LUX combines a pool and a full kitchen at a genuinely budget rate, a pairing that gives cost-conscious travelers real self-catering flexibility alongside a place to cool off after a day of sightseeing. The property sits five minutes by public transport from Aga Khan Palace, keeping the heritage site within easy reach without a long journey, and Chachokha Restaurant, a six-minute walk away, adds a dining option beyond the on-site kitchen. Pet-friendly rooms broaden the appeal for travelers who might otherwise struggle to find an affordable option that accepts animals, and full-service laundry supports a longer stay. The property closes its pitch on value: a pool, a kitchen and a pet-friendly policy rarely found together at this price point in Pune.

Our take
This property suits backpackers and budget travelers who want a pool and kitchen without paying mid-range rates, and pet owners on a tighter budget who need an accommodating option. It's a less obvious pick for travelers wanting a full-service hotel experience, since HOSHTEL99's hostel-style format prioritizes cost and flexibility over polish.
- ✓Use the kitchen for at least some meals to keep costs down, one of the property's clearest advantages at this price point.
- ✓Visit Aga Khan Palace via public transport, about five minutes away and one of the more accessible heritage sites from this base.
- ✓Book a pet-friendly room in advance if traveling with an animal, since availability at this rate can be limited.

Why guests love itTraveling on a tight budget with our dog, HOSHTEL99 - LUX turned out to be one of the easier bookings in Pune, with a real pool and kitchen despite the low rate. Aga Khan Palace was a short public transport ride away, and Chachokha Restaurant gave us a solid dinner option on the nights we didn't feel like cooking in the shared kitchen ourselves.
