The Hey Hotel

About The Hey Hotel

The Hey Hotel suits travellers who need a practical base in West Pune, close to the Hinjewadi IT Park. Balewadi is a growing residential and commercial area with wide roads and a quieter atmosphere than the old city. The hotel's listed facilities include free car parking, a restaurant and a spa, which makes it a self-contained option for a short work trip or a weekend stopover. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals.

This is a 3-star hotel in a straightforward, functional style. The star rating indicates reliable air conditioning, Wi-Fi and room service, all of which are listed. The hotel has family rooms and a terrace. The shuttle service listed can be arranged for local travel. For guests who want to explore further, the straight-line distances to Pune Junction, Swargate bus station and the airport are all within 12 to 16 km.

Rooms and listed facilities

The Hey Hotel lists air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and internet access as standard facilities. Family rooms are available, which is useful for those travelling with children. The 24-hour front desk and room service mean that late check-ins and in-room dining are possible. Guests should confirm the exact room configuration and bedding with the property before arrival. The listed shuttle service may be used for transfers, but details of routes and timings should be checked directly.

The setting

The Hey Hotel is on Laxman Nagar Donje in Balewadi, West Pune. The street is a residential lane away from the main arterial roads. In a straight line, the hotel is about 4 km from Hinjewadi IT Park Phase 1, 10 km from Shaniwar Wada in the old city centre, 12 km from Pune Junction railway station, 12 km from Swargate bus station, 13 km from Koregaon Park and 16 km from Pune International Airport. No major sights are within 5 km.

Location and neighbourhood

Its wide roads and new office towers attract business travellers on short work trips. The area is close to the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjewadi and several corporate parks. Balewadi High Street offers restaurants and shops within walking distance of many hotels. The Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex hosts cricket matches and concerts. You can reach the Pune airport in about 30 minutes by car, depending on traffic. The neighbourhood feels quieter than central Pune, with less congestion and more open spaces.

Getting there and around

Getting to The Hey Hotel is straightforward by road. Pune International Airport is around 15.6 km away, a drive of 30 to 45 minutes on the highway. Pune Junction railway station is around 11.7 km east, about 40 minutes by taxi. For local travel, app-based taxis are widely available. The Pune Metro does not yet reach Balewadi, but buses run along the main highway. Renting a car with a driver for the day is common for business trips. The Mumbai–Pune Expressway is a short drive north, making day trips to Lonavala or Mumbai feasible. Traffic on the highway can be heavy during peak hours, so plan extra time for airport or station transfers.

Nearby sights and food

For culture, head to central Pune. The Pataleshwar caves, an 8th-century rock-cut temple, are near Deccan Gymkhana. The Aga Khan Palace, where Mahatma Gandhi was held, is east of the centre. These sights are best visited by taxi or hired car. The sports complex sometimes hosts exhibitions and trade fairs, which may coincide with your trip.

Balewadi High Street has a good range of restaurants serving North Indian, South Indian, Chinese and continental food. For a quick lunch, try a misal pav or vada pav from a local snack bar. Several multi-cuisine restaurants offer air-conditioned dining suitable for business meetings. Bakeries sell Shrewsbury biscuits and bakarwadi, a local sweet snack. Irani cafés in central Pune serve bun maska and chai, but are a short drive away. For a relaxed dinner, the High Street has open-air seating at some places. Street food stalls appear in the evenings near the sports complex.

A day from The Hey Hotel

A day from The Hey Hotel might start with a meeting at a nearby corporate park. For a midday break, walk to Balewadi High Street for lunch at one of its restaurants. Afternoon could be spent at the sports complex if a match or event is on, or you could drive to the Aga Khan Palace for a quiet hour. Evening traffic is lighter after 8 pm, so a dinner reservation on the High Street works well. If you have a free morning, a short drive to the Pataleshwar caves or a walk on Parvati Hill (103 steps) gives a taste of old Pune. Return to The Hey Hotel by 9 pm to avoid late-night highway congestion.
