Hotel Gandhara

Thr hotel quality is very poor and staff is very uncooperative. They charge price equivalent to 5 star hotel but don’t provide service anywhere close to even one star hotel.
Completly ripped us off.

Pathetic experience at the property, would have given less than 1 star if possible. The owner has an extremely high handed attitude and not able to comprehend how such people enter into the hospitality business. He didn't hesitate to pick up a fight for a payment which didn't go through due to a problem with the credit card network.

Do yourself a favour and avoid staying here at all costs!!

The manager was pathetic. They refused to give us utensils because their kitchen was closed. We didn't ask for food but only utensils. After paying 3500 per night they were like "order paper plate from zomato" and they were also like "aap kaise plate order karoge woh aapka problem hai".
After a lot of quarrelling, they gave us utensils.
Worst experience.

Room was okayish and parking too was okayish

Rooms in ground floor are less ventilated. Very helpful staff

The manager was an illiterate person. Who have harassed my family member as well as maliciously commented on our driver because he was Muslim. People like these spread hatred. I will recommend everyone to never visit this hotel. As a frequent visitor to Puri, I will suggest everyone to never to be here worst place to be at specially the manager should be atleast minimum educated

Worst Hotel
They can mislead you to another level.
If you want to make your trip happy don't book this hotel.
They are fraud .

Visited this hotel with family. Below are my comments.
Welcome by staff - Excellent
Checkin - Very fast and customer friendly.
Location & Parking - situated just opposite to sea beach. Not even a min away. Busy road. very difficult to park vehicle. Although the staff will help. But can’t take out car very frequently.
Rooms - Small, clean, hygienic and well maintained.
Service- Good. All the staff are very cordial and helpful.
Kitchen- Nice and clean. You can order anything in the menu.
Pool - Available. Small and well maintained. You will feel like jumping inside immediately.
Ambiance- Good and privacy is well maintained across. Not rush at all. Very calm and quiet place.
Price - May vary depending upon season. But I paid little higher as per the hotel website. You can try some other apps to get a better deal.
Only parking is the issue else I would have rated 4*
Felt very safe with family here. I would recommend anyone who is looking for an calm and quiet place to enjoy with family and friends.

Great place to stay. Food served from the kitchen in house feels like home cooked. But service isn't great. They denied taking dinner order saying it's 9pm. And continental breakfast didn't have fruit salad as per the menu, only a peeled-and-cut banana.
