Hotels near Muhana Beach, Puri, Puri

We stayed in Hotel Golden Tree, Puri from 30.10.2023 – 07.11.2023 in Room# 212. As a long staying guest, we are sharing our G O L D E N T R E E review of Hotel Golden Tree, Puri. Gopabandhu Mishra: One of the best front office executives we have ever met in our life while travelling to various parts of India. Gopabandhu (Gopi) with his ever-smiling face will definitely make you feel at home when you walk into the hotel for the first time. Probably this young hotel management graduate is currently the best asset possessed by Hotel Golden Tree, Puri. Outstanding service: The in-house service of Hotel Golden Tree, Puri can be best described with only one English word – OUTSTANDING. Lovely ambience: With a very large reception area consisting of soft & comfortable sofas and centralized air conditioning system, Hotel Golden Tree, Puri has a spacious lounge where easily 20 guests can wait and sit during check-in and check-out ***** with their luggage. Yes, this hotel still has a fully working hands-free sanitizing system installed right next to the main entrance door. Delicious food: The in-house well decorated, clean and air-conditioned restaurant offers a wide spectrum of delicious food items from across the country both during the complimentary buffet breakfast (worth mentioning that the buffet breakfast has a well thought of cyclic menu for different days of the week) as well as during the other time of the day. The quantity of food per portion in the à la carte menu needs to be increased by at least 30% so as to match up with the high price tag, which, we’re sure the hotel authority will make a note of this point after reading this review. Excellent rooms / amenities: All the rooms in this hotel are equipped with a soft memory foam spring mattress king size bed with four soft foam pillows (you may ask for more which they will readily provide) and two cushions and a soft blanket with white linen cover. Other complimentary guest supplies in the rooms include – a) 2 packaged mineral water bottles & 2 Reverse Osmosis purified water bottles per day. b) electric kettle with enough amount of tea/coffee/sugar/sugar free sachets (more will be provided if needed). c) 2 glass tumblers, 2 cups with a number of wooden stirring sticks. d) a cookie jar which is refilled on a daily basis. e) a box full of face tissues. f) a Godrej safety locker with customizable combination numerical locking system. g) a large LED television with working cable connection. h) a working mini refrigerator. i) a large wardrobe with 4 hangers and a laundry bag (they provide you with same day in-house laundering service). j) intercom and free Wi-Fi facility. k) a scribbling pad with a pencil. l) 3 electrical charging points with 3-pin 16 & 6 ampere socket options. The washroom amenities / complimentary guest supplies include: a) a non-removable corded electric hair drier. b) 2 large bath towels and one face / hand towel. c) a bottle of hand wash d) toilet roll e

The hotel is centrally located, about 900 metres from the beach. My room is facing the street, so it is noisy and some affects the rest. In fact, it will not be quiet without facing the street. The room was clean and the sheets were a bit old. The morning buffet is good and there are not many people. There are two points to note that the hotel cannot use international credit cards, so if foreigners spend at the hotel, they can only pay cash at checkout. Second, the check-out time required by the hotel is 8:00 in the morning. If you need to extend the check-out, you will have to pay. It is not expensive, tens of yuan per hour, 8 o'clock check out is a common practice in the local area. In short, in Puri, the requirements for the hotel are not too high, and the hotel in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha, will not work. This hotel is okay.

The property is relatively new. The rooms are well appointed. Bed linen was spotless. The service staff was new and little clueless. Hotel is located on the Grand Road which is around 1.5 kms from Lord Jagannath Temple. The breakfast was not for me. Overall a good hotel at a great location.
