Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent, just outside of Railway Station platform No. 4 and very near to the Airport, making it a prime advantage. The rooms, although spacious and clean, do not offer twin beds for two persons, and occasional airation is required to freshen the room. The service, while friendly with many staff having long tenures, lacks coordination notably during night hours. The dining options are diverse, from continental to South Indian dishes, but the quality is just about average. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money due to its convenient location near Bhubaneswar Railway Station.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, though lacking breakfast, provided all the basic amenities for a solo traveler and were very comfortable with excellent fan and AC. The rooms were spacious, equipped with small refrigerators, and had adequate storage facilities.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to Bhubaneswar Railway Station, making it easy to walk to and from the station. The rooms were consistently clean and well-maintained, but occasionally had a tobacco smell that needed airing out. The service was exceptional, with courteous staff always willing to assist, though there was a slight hiccup with taxi arrangements. The dining options were decent but lacked variety, and the facilities offered like free valet parking and newspaper service were convenient.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's convenient location, very close to the railway station and major attractions of the city. The room was spacious and well-equipped, and the presence of a stocked bar and a taxi service added to the overall comfort. However, the dining options were limited, and the area can get congested due to the proximity of the railroad station.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were neat and had 2 separate beds, although smaller than expected from online pictures. The check-in process was smooth, and the receptionist even helped me book at a discounted rate with breakfast included. The presence of a well-stocked bar and the option for a taxi service at a reasonable rate were definite pluses.
