I recently stayed at the Blue Diamond Hotel, a SeleQtions property by Taj, for one night and two days. SeleQtions hotels are known for their unique identity, location, history, theme, and cultural significance, with the aim of celebrating individuality and offering memorable experiences. However, I found that this particular property fell short in delivering on some of these promises. Pros: Location: The hotel is conveniently located just 3 km from Pune station and 6 km from other key attractions. Staff: The staff were very polite and professional, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out experience. Rooms: I booked a premier room, which was neat, clean, and well-maintained. The overall ambiance was pleasant. Service: The service was efficient and added to the comfort of my stay. Cons: Cultural Representation: While the hotel is marketed as a SeleQtions property, I didn’t find it to reflect Pune's rich traditions, local culture, or architectural uniqueness. Food: This was the biggest disappointment of my stay. Pune is known for its vibrant and flavorful local cuisine, but the food served at the hotel was basic and lacked the essence of regional flavors. Both dinner and breakfast were underwhelming and failed to meet expectations. Final Thoughts: Although I enjoyed my stay overall, especially due to the excellent service and comfortable rooms, the food experience did not align with the hotel’s promise of celebrating local culture. Next time, I would prefer dining outside to truly experience Pune’s culinary delights. So i have given one point less for food.

A special word of praise for Mr. Ashok Thokal of the housekeeping department for his sheer dedication and hard work, all with a smiling face. Just want to add a few points about the room. I think a couple of extra pillows, a little basic silverware, hand towels for the second washroom should all be basic requirements for a presidential suite besides the fruit bowl with fruits that looked sick and pale and hadn't been changed in ages. In spite of booking a smoking room have to always ask for an ashtray and a matchbox. Its an immense pain to find basic requirements not provided on checking in to the room and having to ask. There wasn't even an iron/ironing board in the room. Both the set top boxes had a loose connection causing a stutter in the picture. Even the side table lamp could have an accessible switch, because it is of no use to have a lamp if one has to break his or her back every time when switching it on. If the hotel has to provide a bottle of wine it should be in the room before the guest checks in as it is supposed to be a welcome gesture and maybe not something with a shelf life more than a year past.
