The Hotel is good for people who just want to sleep and walk around on the large corridors. The high point of the hotel is the photographs of royalties and high leaders' travel on Indian Railways in the 19th century in the rooms and elsewhere and the vintage railway engine parked on the lawn outside . However, the service is... More

Fantastic Place to Stay in Puri. The old colonial charm of the hotel makes it a unique place to stay. Really good rooms - nice and spacious. Very very reasonably priced including breakfast. Courteous Staff - fantastic food. Dont think there is a better place to stay in Puri. Considering the price, it is kings luxury.

Stayed at BNR Chanakya in Jan 2011. This is a heritage property with the heritage excellently maintained. The room was not 5 star, but for what I paid for it, it exceeded all my expectations. A good clean three star room with all facilities clean and in good working conditions. Bathrooms were clean and functional. Service by the staff and... More

I went back for second time after a gap of twelve years to this rail heritage hotel because i liked it during my first visit. It has been renovated nicely which was badly required. But also lost some of its tradition. Still it was a nice experience. Its location is its strongest point. You can see the waves crashing right... More

A beautiful, neat and clean hotel with Puri beach view from the balcony..Room size is so huge with such a beautiful painting of Indian railways hanging around and having a King size bathroom. It can beat any 5 star hotel I can say. Room service was excellent so was the food which we ordered during our 2 days of stay,... More

BNR is a successful merging of bygone era and clean modern bathrooms, powerful mold-free Acs, and hot water kettle (no fridge). Old photographs of Indian Railway construction cover the walls and every room opens onto a huge verandah facing the sea (An empty lot and road separates the property from the beach). Shame that the larger public sitting rooms remain... More

Hotel looks very nice from outside but needs a little maintenance. The rooms inside are not very tidy in the sense lot of dust in and around the room. Breakfast was okay, not too many choices. There was no juice and any particular soft drinks for the children like orange juice, bournvita, Horlicks etc., It is better if ithis is... More

It used to be a ‘old’ Railways guesthouse & has maintained its quaint charm. The service was good (can be excellent with diligent work of the staff!). The food was very good. We stayed on the 1st floor with the sea view; the beach is however far from the hotel and would have been nice if the hotel had provided... More

It is some place where you would ideally like to stick up your leg & watch the sea change colours. Could have been much much better if only they improved their service & some peripherals. The ideas were excellent liek having cycles for the guest unfortunately they donot work. Tyres deflated, greasing long overdue. The menu had some fine continental... More
