As everyone has mentioned, it is a heritage property. Located at a walking distance from the Swargdwar beach, the entrance isn't too brightly lit up to be noticed in dark. The actual building is distanced from the beach road by an expansive lawn with neatly maintained green areas. We reached around 8.30 p.m. on Friday, 6 January 2020, and were initially allotted room 110, which was the last room towards the left of the reception. Though the room was suite, and hence huge, it had total of 3 light sources, one of which was in the bathroom. It was so dim that we had to resort to using our phone's torchlight. Upon multiple requests it was changed the next day to 107 (or 109, can't remember), which was a lawn facing one and had an attached balcony. This was again a suite but a much better one than the previous. Amenities: -Cupboards -TV with STB -Toiletries like soap, shampoo, showercap etc -Tea kits -Water bottles/drinking water -Pool in the hotel The beds are done up like those of royalties, with sheer curtains. There are 2 restaurants at the gate of the hotel, one a pure veg, and the other one serving non-veg as well (inside the premises). Pros: -Location! -View -Feel Cons: -Maintenance -Little overpriced We were 3 in a room, and stayed for 2 nights, which cost us around 10.8K. This included breakfast, which you could avail from the Veg Restaurant near the gate. It is not a buffet spread, but consists of a fruit salad, tea/coffee, juice and a main item (poori/idli/uttapam/dosa etc)

The vintage property built years ago has been converted into heritage hotel with an old soul with young and energetic people managing it and located in heart if the city.. Visited Puri early this March and stayed with Mahodadhi Palace for 4days. Had a pleasant stay with cordial staffs at your service at any and every point. They have two very beautiful in-house built restaurant , Bar-On (bar come restaurant on the first Storey of the palace) and Open Air Live Counter Sea View Restaurant. Food is Yum and Really tasty. Rooms has a vintage charm of its own but yes to maintain that vintage look you really need to look into the furniture kept inside the room (they are not atall maintained well and broken in many cases) which needs attention to maintain is Royal outlook. The beach is just on the other side of the road, and you can visit anytime in the night(our few mid night visit gave us another unusual feel of Puri - away from the hustle and bustle). Staff's are extremely well behaved and cooperative.. Mr Gautam, restaurant manager helped us arranging a candle Light dinner and made things more exciting. They have a nice Swiminng pool and the overall decor is nice. Definitely a good place to stay..

Mahidadhi palace is made up of red stone and it is the summer house of the raj Panchkot. It is very old heritage hotel with bad maintenance. It looks like antique piece hotel in now a days. The rooms are very old style.

Good- 1. Location 2. Antique 3. Quite 4. Good food 5. Parking Bad- 1. Badly maintained property. 2. Food service - turn around time min 1hr:30 min. 3. Parking place and road to hotel was full of nails ( careful while driving and walking). 4. Shower near pool ( usually used after coming from beach)- difficult to approach and dirty. 5. Check out time 8AM
