If you are looking for a calm, relaxing staycation then Anandwan is one of the good properties in Wai to consider. The property is in the Pasarni village near Wai and is just 10 mins drive from the Wai market. Which means having your own vehicle is beneficial. Though the property can arrange for a cab or an autorikshaw it can be little costly. Auto rikshaw charges Rs 200 one way to Wai Market. There are a several categories of rooms and you can choose among any, as per your preference. Since we were there only for a night we stayed in the cottage room. The rooms were neat and clean with a small lawn in the front and garden like area in back that has a private entrance. However, the cottage rooms are not air-conditioned and best to be avoided post February. Also, we felt that the rooms need furnishing upgrade as the bed, wardrobe are a little old now. The good part is it has a separate bathroom and a toilet. Though hot water supply is limited for a couple of hours in the morning and evening. The property has a huge restaurant and offers some good home cooked food (veg and non-veg). However, since they do not have an all time functioning kitchen, one has to be mindful of the meal times of the restaurant. The food is prepared only as per orders. The property has ample parking space and the staff is very courteous. They also have a good Wi-Fi connectivity. Since the property is little in the interiors, availablity of alcohol, ciggerates is limited. It is also closely located to Dhom Dam, Menavli Wada so one can quickly drive for a nice sunset. Overall the Anandvan offers a good stay with great location and aminities.

A very good lodge. Owner and staff were helpful and kind.

Stayed there for one day.
Good English/Indian style washroom.
They were clean.

Owner provided the filter water bottles for drinking.

Overall good experience.

This was my pit stop on my way to Mahabaleshwar. Since my bus was going to reach early morning to Mahabaleshwar, I decided to stay here for a couple of hours. If you are looking to stay for a day or two and are okay with very basic aminities then, Anand Lodge is a very good option. It offers both, ac and non-ac rooms. The property is centrally located and has some good restaurants/eateries, main market and Wai S.T stand at a walking distance. Mr. Ajay Dev and his father are a good host. However, a couple of things to keep in mind- there is no lift and hence if you have a heavy luggage then it may be a challenge. They do not have 24hours hot water service and therefore you will have to manage with that. Since there is no kitchen at the property you will have to go in the market for even for a cup of tea. The hotel rooms are clean and hygienic and i believe recently renovated. Overall it's a good property offering an economical stay.

Anand lodge is very much near to Dholya Ganapati temple..Best budget hotel with excellent rooms and owner of lodge is very polite and cooperative.If you are looking for budget hotel in Wai one can book this one with no doubt.
