Hotel Niladri Premium

Booked a stay here during my first and only trip to the holy pilgrimage town of Jagannath Puri in Odisha. Chose it mainly for proximity to beach and to the location of a large festival I was attending— this worked really well for me. Not sure how far it is from major sights, temples, and shopping, but I was able to get around fine by foot and in autos. Room itself was very clean, spacious, and comfortable— though a bit on the simpler side. Had breakfast here once and it was decent. Staff was friendly and helpful. Best selling point of the hotel: direct access (via crossing one road) from the hotel’s back entrance to the beach!

Good place to stay, good location, friendly staff.

The beach is directly across from the property. The rooms are tidy and beautifully designed. Although the dinner was difficult because there wasn't enough staff and the food was being served quite late, the breakfast was excellent. If you need to go to the markets or temple, it's easy to find transportation. The hotel was reasonably priced and we had a pleasant stay.

The hotel is overpriced.we got much nicer hotels every other place during this vacation. This includes Bengaluru, Hampi, Darjeeling, Kolkata, and Bhubaneswar. There were flies in the restaurant. The ambience was very poor There was no air conditioning in the lobby. Not even a fan. The checkout time is 8 AM. That is very unreasonable. The explanation was that that has been the practice in Puri. We were uncomfortable seeing customers eating while walking around in the restaurant. We will never stay in this place again. Very disappointed.

Room size OK but bathroom size and layout small and prone to being wet. No shower curtain makes it worse. Food was well prepared, fresh and tasty. Serving staff very pleasant. Overall a 3 star stay but somewhat pricey.

Public beach just across the road is a bonus. Staff is friendly.
