Be warned this is a venerable old establishment. Go there for its old world charm. The club has its own grounds - great for a brisk daily walk. The card room is packed with bridge players in the evening. We did not expect star comforts and were not disappointed. Room and sheets were clean. The staff were pleasant and not... More

Considering the status symbol of this club, the accomodation is rather poor standard. The rooms are old and shabby and have not been renovated . The ambiance is great - the gardens beautiful and a good meeting spot for friends and family. The food could be improved as well as the service. A very good venue for holding parties and... More

This club is old. The grounds are beautiful and harkens back to colonial times. The main restaurant has a canopy top and overlooks the gorgeously manicured cricket grounds. The tennis courts are also really beautiful. The room itself is super drab: hard beds, dirty and decaying bathroom but there was a really nice flat screen TV with lots of channels.... More

Not an enjoyable experience at all. Rooms are in a shabby state. Service is non-existent and food quality leaves much to be desired. Not at all worth the price they charge (not that its expensive at all) but still no value for the money.

Our stay in Poona Club was an enjoyable, refreshing one. The rooms were spacious, neat and clean and even had a separate dressing room attached to it. Our bedroom had a split AC and TV with almost all channels available. Room service though was average, the food so-so but in all, a nice experience in a fairly upmarket club with... More

We were offered a room that reeked of chemicals, and one that was filty, with a stained carpet, and I mean it looked like someone dripped syrup all over it. We were given two other rooms. No toilet paper; the safe didn't work in either room. A smell of sewer permeated the walkway between the two rooms. No intenet in... More
