OYO 9958 Laxmi Resort

The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and the AC room price was reasonable. It's a new hotel near the lighthouse, with a great view of the less crowded beach from the room. Staff were good, though communication was a bit difficult. All the rooms are on the ground floor. There isn't a separate restaurant, so lunch and dinner have to be ordered; the food was a bit costly, the quantity was good, and the quality average. We had a few mosquitoes, and the bathroom water supply sometimes didn't work properly. Still, the overall experience was good.

At 2500 per day, I got little for the money beyond the location. There was no maintenance or service, and both the staff and the owners who leased it from the main person behaved badly. They are just fooling people at that price. I'd suggest visiting first and seeing the room before booking. You can find better rooms for the same price. It's one of the worst hotels I've stayed in in Puri.

The staff are cooperative and simple-hearted, and the rates are around average. It's right in front of the beach, so it's an option if you're looking for affordable sea-facing rooms. From outside it looks royal, but inside it's below average, with amenities that are okay but low quality.

The place was under construction, unhygienic, and had very poor service.
