Madhusmruti - Home Stay in Puri - Puri, India

After staying 1 day here, my feeling is like, "I went to Jagannath temple darshan from my home in the Puri town". Don't think twice to book this home stay if you want a affordable and near (Jagannath temple) pleasant stay. As I said, its like our home. No one will be there to serve you. If you get bored, you can read books, see TV and relax in common hall area. Best for couple and family

Location is just a KM away from Shri Jagannath Mandir. Owner Malay ji is very kind and nice supportive person. Room are small but in very good condition. There support staff is very nice to their customers. The price is little high for the solo traveller but overall this is the best place to stay.

Pros: near to temple, station and beach Cons: homestay with limited support, you won't even get tea if you wanted in off hrs. No dinner if you missed to tell by 5pm Walkin lounge is a huge oversell, it a living room with sofas

The owner is very helpful and a thorough gentleman. We had a nice though brief conversation. It's a quiet and peaceful place. Well placed with good connectivity. The caretaker Raja is a nice fellow. He helped us a lot with directions, restaurants and sightseeing related matters. Plan to visit again. NOTE: DON'T BOOK THROUGH OTHER PORTALS. THEY CHARGE TOU MUCH MORE AND HARASS THE OWNER TOO. BOOK DIRECTLY.

Well this was my worst experience, I booked 2 rooms for me and my family for 1 night. Here are the points why it was hell for us: 1) You don't get room according to the price you pay. 2) Caretaker himself told me that room's prices are lesser when booked offline as he had no idea I've booked rooms offine only, I had talked with the owner and booked the rooms. But anyhow I came to know that owner took extra 400rs. from me. 3) When booking online you'll se standard room listed and area of the room is 107sq.ft. but this is not the truth. Room is barely 70-80sq.ft. with no proper ventilation and it was so much suffocating. For that room you'll have to pay rs.1400. And the other room was quite big for which we paid rs.2300. 4) Talking about the location : temple is 1.3km away from the hotel and sea beach is just 600mtrs. If you want to go to the beach just talk to the catetaker he'll tell you the correct direction, don't just believe google maps as it'll show you the longest route. 4) No complaints regarding hotel staff behavior, he is really a good guy and very helping. Owners behavior is also good. Final comment : Everything is good, but prices are more according to the room. The standard room should be listed as the mallest room. No complaints with behavior of anyone be it staff or owner.

Everything is good. Owner Mr Mishra is a true gentleman. caretaker Raja is also very helpful. This place is exactly between Jagganath ji temple and Puri beach. Both are 10 mins walking distance. All types of food joints pure veg Amrutam restaurant, medical shop, hospital, grocery store are nearby. This is a perfect place for 2 to 5 days stay. Calm and quiet. Owner Mr Malay Mishra is doing this business not for money but as a service for devotees.

Had a lot of fun, felt like home, just keep it going.Jai jagarnath

Madhusmruti Homestay is a great economical option for a short trip to Puri. Mr. Mishra - a retired IFS official personally manages bookings and the staff and the stay and service is warm and hospitable. The property is 10 mins away from the temple by a cycle rickshaw. Mr. Mishra recommended restaurants and places to visit - which were worthwhile. We went to Raghurajpur Heritage Village- designated UNESCO site and discovered great Patahchitra art. A shout out to his the staff - Rajendra Raut (Raja) and Neelambu Behra(Neelu) they were super helpful Thanks for a great stay.
