I live and work in nearby Bhubaneswar, and Puri is the perfect place for me to visit at weekends. I've stayed in a few different hotels in Puri but Gandhara is by far the best and I now won't stay anywhere else. I've stayed in the hotel on 6 different occasions now and love it more each time I visit.... More

I stayed here with some friends in March for the weekend and it was very pleasant! The pool and courtyard were beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful, including when I was unwell - highly recommend it!

We, a group of four colleagues/friends from the Netherlands, Australia and India had a wonderful stay in the Hotel Ghandara in Puri. The hotel management as well as the staff are very friendly and the place is kept clean constantly. The greatest thing about this hotel is it's courtyard which is an excellent place to relax, with its shady tree,... More

I do tourist planning, and I recommended Gandhara to my cousin family from Hyderabad in accordance to its good rating in this website. However, the response I got was completely on the other side. I recommended travelers all around where to choose and stay , and specially of Puri. And I knew I got it all wrong this time. See,... More

Probably the nicest hotel I stayed at in India. Immaculate room, lovely grounds, and a very friendly staff. An excellent value for the money ... not a budget hotel, but certainly far more reasonable than most mid-ranges. The garden makes for a pleasant, quiet dining atmosphere.

I stayed at Gandhara for 3 nights. When I checked in, the cheapest room was not available, so I got a more expensive one because the place looked very nice. This was the room out front, closest to reception. Western toilet, bathroom about the size of a football field. Sheets, towel, soap, toilet paper, mosquito net - all provided (staying... More

We had a good experience in Hotel Gandhara. We stayed in Puri for three days and had booked a room through an internet website. The hotel's garden was full of flower pots and there is also a swimming pool, which we did not try but others did. We found the hotel very clean. We had a non-AC room on the... More
