At the reception, Shantanu was very co-operative, even the mangers were very co-operative. check in was smooth, Manger Ganeshan was also very co-operative.
Nice and quite ambience.
We had DJ nite, but nobody was there, so we requested the DJ to be played, but he played it softly, as due to low occupancy, they had canceled the DJ nite, but he played it for me and my spouse, it was really a good experience & we felt special.

Few suggestions.

Room no 305 the drainage of the wash basin was not working properly.
Swimming pool nobody was using, also was not clean ( leaves were floating on the top & bottom).
Breakfast which was included in the tariff was not upto the mark, as it was limited due to less check in, had to remind the staff about refill, though they were co-operative, it should have been taken care without any reminders.
Table tennis bats need to be replaced, not working to play with these bats
The ping pong ball were all bad and not good.
only pool table & carrom were worth playing.

overall, if you ignore small things, the experience was good, or maybe we are at the hotel when the occupancy was the lowest.

Would recommend, but at a price, as we paid around 6046/- per night including breakfast for two, this price seems reasonable.
if the price is more, quite frankly you have other options, with these level of services available in Lonavala. ( nothing against The Orchid).

Room tip: Though it is located on main old Mumbai-pune highway, they have made it sure that, you do not get sound in the rooms. Try rooms 304-305

Dear Guest,

It's great to hear that you had a smooth check-in experience and enjoyed the efforts of Shantanu and Manager Ganeshan to make your stay special. The DJ's willingness to accommodate your request added a personal touch to your evening, despite the low occupancy. Your suggestions about room maintenance, specifically the drainage issue in room 305, will be addressed to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests. We'll also look into the cleanliness of the swimming pool, as well as the breakfast offerings. Ensuring that the buffet is appropriately stocked, regardless of guest numbers, is important to us. Your feedback about the table tennis equipment is valuable, and we will assess the situation to ensure that guests have the necessary tools for enjoyment. Regarding your comment about pricing, it's important for us to provide value that aligns with guest expectations. We'll continue to evaluate our services and amenities to enhance the overall experience, especially during times of lower occupancy. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide an even better experience on your next visit.

Thanks & Regards
Team Orchid Lonavala

Good experience but i requested the hotel that it was my husband’s birthday and to treat him special. As a star rated hotel i expect atleast a wish from the staff. When i asked the staff about my note he said they dont do this on weekends as they are busy. Disappointed with this one thing as I had specially planned this for him. We did the same thing on my birthday and booked mariott. Funny thing is their prices are same but Marriott’s service was much much better, they decorated our room for free, decorated our dinner table, the staff was lively and wished me as i entered the hotel.

Room tip: Please read the special notes and acknowledge it.

Dear Guest,

We truly appreciate the time you took to share your recent experience and the expectations you had while visiting our hotel for your husband’s birthday celebration. It’s clear we missed an important opportunity to provide the special touch you were looking for, and your feedback has been noted with great concern. We genuinely strive to cater to all our guests' needs, and it's evident in this instance we fell short. Rest assured, we are addressing this with our team to ensure that we are more attentive to our guests' requests and that such oversights do not occur in the future, especially during busy periods. We hope to have the chance to better serve you and make your next stay with us as memorable and delightful as you rightfully expect.

Thanks & Regards
