The hotel is about 1.3 km in a straight line from Shaniwar Wada, the old city centre, and 1.2 km from Pataleshwar caves. Tulshibaug market is also 1.2 km away. Pune Junction railway station is 3.5 km, and Swargate bus station is 2.8 km. The airport is about 10.8 km away, so you will need transport for that journey.

Location and neighbourhood

This area is defined by Fergusson College, the University of Pune and a dense network of bookshops, Irani cafés and snack institutions.
