Pipul Padmaja Beach Inn

The breakfast buffet was one of the best things about the place. There was a huge spread, including poori sabji, paratha bhujia, upma, maggie, idly sambar, vada, fruits, juices, corn salads, omlete, and masala dosa, and it was all so delicious. Thanks to Pipul padmaja for the absolutely best hospitality. This was my first stay here and I can vouch for it. We had an amazing time. The room was luxurious, very spacious, neat, and clean. It also had a nice balcony where we enjoyed a good chai.

The beach right in front is easy to reach, clean, and away from the crowds. We had breakfast at the terrace restaurant, where the food was simple and tasty with a good variety. For the budget price, this was a surprisingly good hotel. The rooms were spacious, neat, and clean, and staff were courteous and quick to respond. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable stay on Marine drive.

The room was clean, and the manager made us feel very welcome. The staff were great, too, and our fresh, hot, tasty meal was even better with a view of the beach. We'd happily come back.

After a long journey, we were looking for somewhere to stay around Puri Beach New Marine Drive. The three- and four-star hotels we checked either didn't fit our budget or had rooms in poor condition. Pipul Padmaja, on the second floor of Fortune Hotel, turned out to be a good find. The staff welcomed us warmly, and the rooms had beautiful artistic touches. We only needed the hotel for a few hours of sleep, and checkout was easy. I also realized it's part of the same hotel group where I'd stayed in Jharsuguda. I'd rate the rooms 4.5, the food 4.7, and the staff's behaviour 4.4. As a traveller, I can't give it five stars since there are still areas that could be improved. Still, it was an excellent, budget-friendly place with family-friendly surroundings.
