When it comes to recommending a hotel without knowing the
exact budget, tastes and requirements, we have to rely on
some rule of thumbs. In Orissa, the State Government runs a chain of PANTHA NIVAS hotels which are
good, safe, and not very expensive. There are privately run
hotels too. We have made a personal list organised city
wise. Bhubaneswar: Premium Hotels: Hotel Mayfair Lagoon, Hotel Oberoi, Hotel
Swosti Plaza, Hotel Crown. Good Hotels: Hotel Swosti, The Marrion, Hotel Sismo, The
Garden Inn. Cuttack Good Hotels: Hotel Akbari, Hotel Bombay Inn, Hotel
Dwarika Puri Premium Hotels : Hotel Mayfair, Neelachal Ashok, Sterling
Holiday Resorts (timeshare but good), Hotel Toshali Sands.
Good Hotels: Holiday Resort, Vijay International, Hotel
Hans Coco Palms. Economy Hotels: Puri Hotel, Victoria Club Hotel.
