Stayed in 1st floor rooms which are big sized with an open verandah / balcony giving good view of the sea. Though rooms are pretty big, it did not have matching air-conditioner for effective cooling. This AC also had condensate water dripping inside the room on the wooden flooring creating a tip-a-tap sound the entire night. Only 1 ceiling fan... More

For those who like the slightly faded Raj style, this is the place. Each room is themed after a route or company from Indian Railways. We stayed in the Darjeeling room. There is a slightly forlorn steam locomotive on a plinth in the gardens thsat is lit up at night. The place is large, clean and spacious, and soon to... More

Our large group of 12 stayed at this hotel for 2-4 nights last month. It is well-located and lovely to look at - a heritage property that has been modernized without sacrificing its "feel". Rooms are simple, but totally adequate for a hotel in its class. Still, there is much room for improvement. Customer service is earnest, but verging on... More

I went to stay at this hotel in Puri on my honeymoon for the reason that in UK I know a lady, now in her late 80's who used to live in the hotel in the days of the Raj. I loved the hotel mainly I think for that reason as I was walking down corridors and into rooms where... More
