room service was not round the clock
their were no soaps in washrooms.
we stayed their for 2 days but nobody bothered to clean the rooms..
no hot water option in washrooms
This hotel is situated at far distance from Puri beach,the last hotel of CT road the colony of fisherman,maximum time bad fish smell around you.and every time you have to spent 50-60 Rs.INR for auto rent to reach the Puri beach,so if you 2 time go to beach then you have to spent 200-250 rs.INR.It is more far from Jagannath Mandir.Min.80 Rs.INR. Auto rent.
Room service is vary Poor,no cleaning and changing of Pillow and Bed cover and towel also everyday.No sweeping and no cleaning of bath room regularly.
it is not ideal for familiar,because every night call girl are available in hotel rooms as per requirement of customer.
Its a ideal hotel for group of boys who wants to make their nights golden.
Only one things is nice of this Hotel that is Food.Food is so much good quality and fresh and testy.i never thought that this quality of food is available at puri.
So,family man too careful before booking this hotel.Don't go with the overview of the hotel look.
Boys perfect and ideal hotel for you at puri.

Hotel is little far from Swagdar/Market but you can enjoy in another beach near hotel, it takes 10 min walking distance to reach that beach.
Finally I am happy with the hotel service & with Mr Pramod.
thanks to cleartrip too.
First the good points. The hotel staff in general are nice, simple, courteous people. The rooms are quite good. There is a lawn where you can sit and relax and its a safe place to stay with family.
Now the reasons why I won't go there again and won't recommend it to anybody. I planned a trip with my family during the last Christmas break. None of the good resorts were available even one month in advance and so I opted for this hotel going by the reviews on TripAdvisor. I made an advanced payment via net transfer and they assured me that rooms will be ready when we arrive at 6 am. But we had to wait in the lobby for more than 2 hours before we finally got our rooms.
The hotel is at the end of CT road and even for going to the CT Road beach, one needs to hire an auto. The hotel has a fisherman's colony on one side and something like a cold storage/ice factory on the other. There is nothing quaint about this.... it stinks. They said the sea is well visible from the terrace but most of the view is blocked by houses and anyway the terrace is littered with birdshit.
Their restaurant's so-called specialities turned out to be very average (don't confuse that with 'homely food') and every day they would ask us to order our meals in advance but thankfully there are lots of good options in Puri and we hardly ate there after the first day.
Now to my worst experience with these people. I wanted to book a day long sightseeing trip and though there were lots of other operators, I trusted the hotel manager to do the booking and he assured me he'll get us good front seats on a deluxe bus. On the morning of the trip the tour operator was supposed to send a auto to pick us up from the hotel but there were none. So we went on our own to the starting point and located our operator. What greeted us was shocking. Instead of the promised deluxe bus, there was a old, rickety bus with narrow hard seats (no reclining, arm rests etc.). I called up the hotel manager and his first reaction was " Take whatever is there. Your fares are already paid and we won't refund". No sorry or He first won't admit he had promised a deluxe trip and later argued this is good enough, others were also travelling in the same bus. The others turned out to be very low-budget travellers. I wanted to cancel this trip even without refunds but it was our last day in Puri and I wasn't sure I'll be able to arrange another trip at the last minute. The whole journey of 13 hours or so turned out to be extremely uncomfortable. The guide was a semi-literate person with limited knowledge. It was an extremely tight itinerary with hardly any time for toilet breaks. The lunch stop was at a dirty and cheap hotel. The trip was a total disaster thanks to the incompetent fellow at Hotel Santana. These people have no idea about quality service and a minimal standard certain people will expect.
Pros first - The rooms are spacious, toilets are clean, manager Mr. Pramod is very good and ready to help, the hotel is well decorated, staffs are soft spoken.
Cons - Location is not that good - for a bath in the morning the beach is nearby but it is far from the main area and is deserted in the evening so you need to give auto fare to reach main area and spend the evening sitting beside the beach, a good mosquito problem thought he hotel provides all out :-), Bed sheet and pillows are very dirty, staffs do not listen to manager (e.g. Pramod asked one of his staff to provide hot water but that did not reach our room, asked for a Veg food without Potato but that item contained Potatoes and many), TV channels and remote are not good, in the restaurant whatever you order be it Do-Piyaza, Curry or Butter Masala all the preparation are same.
But any way Mr. Pramod arranged a good short trip for us to visit Konark, Chandravaga, Ramchandi Temple but the Cab charge was overpriced and the driver did not allow us to enjoy all the places and was in a hurry to complete the trip.


Thanks! Ayan / Vizag
