Arian International Puri by Goroomgo

This stay left us so mentally harassed that we couldn't focus on the main reason for our trip, Jagannath Darshan. The receptionist behaved very badly, and there was a scam around cancellations. The hotel was dirty, and the experience was painful. Book this place if you want a disastrous stay.

We booked five rooms for our whole family, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. The hotel is a long way from the beach, and the owner and staff were disgusting and impolite. Every room was very dirty. The blankets smelled, and the pillows and bedsheets had blood spots. This isn't a place to stay with family, it's for some other purpose, as anyone can understand. We even filed a police complaint, but it didn't help. The whole hotel system seems connected with local antisocial guests. If you want trouble and to lose your peace of mind, go ahead.

The place was filthy and unhygienic, with a constant bad smell. I managed to stay one night, then left the next day. The rooms aren't worth even 100 rupees, though they charge 2,000 to 2,500. Don't stay here or eat here. The room photos look good, but don't be fooled. Worst hotel ever.

The rooms were filthy, with cockroaches everywhere and damp patches all over the walls. It's not suitable for a family trip. No one listens when you ask for help, so there's no service. It's very far from Jagannath temple and the main beach, with no transport available, meaning you'll have to walk a lot. The price isn't worth even 200 rupees a day. They also refuse to provide what their websites say is included, and I felt they would cheat you. I booked with pay at property, took one look when I arrived, and got out quickly. I stayed at another hotel for three days instead. Don't book this place unless you want your trip ruined. Visit hotels near the beach in person.
