EXCELLENT HOTEL IN A QUITE LOCATION. 

I visited Puri on 6-10 May 2023 and stayed in a Ac Deluxe room with side sea view. My stay in this hotel has been excellent. Talking about location the hotel located in new marine drive beside the lighthouse is an ideal place to stay and is away from the maddening crowd of Swargadwar where you can get more peace. The beach is just across the road and the beach is much cleaner than the beach in Swargadwar. The beach is also less disturbed by hawkers. The room was very comfortable and the side balcony gave a panoramic view of the sea. Regarding food the complimentary breakfast was adequate with changed menu every day. We had all our lunch/dinner (A la carte) in the hotel restaurant and taste was very good. Quality and quantity of food including fish and meat was very good and prices moderate and as expected for such quality. As for the services and staff behavior the services were prompt and staff behaved very well and were helpful. If I come again to Puri I would surely be staying in this hotel again. I have seen a lot of negative comments about this hotel is some travel websites but trust me they are all bogus and possibly written with a bad intent.      

Thanks S.K. Dasgupta

EXCELLENT HOTEL IN A QUITE LOCATION.

All service staffs reception executives and restaurant staffs are very corporetive especially  Ms. Sayantika is very efficient and humble. Do visit ITC atleast  once in your lifetime.i like most Eden pivilion and peshawra. My son enjoying fish feeding in lush green environment

Hotel

Room condition was good, the staff was helpful. in case of any query you can reach out to the hotel reception, they will help you out. 
One negative is, the service of the staff in the catering or food department is not good at all, specially in case of In-Room dining. We had to wait for over 45mins after ordering food, they forgot to service us the drinks we ordered. 

Overall, the hotel is very good. I will stay at Sonar Bangla again, rather I have already booked my stay for the next trip. Only thing the management should look is the service of the staff. 

the property is well maintained no complains at all.

One of the best property in Puri no doubt.

I stayed in the hotel with my family from 2nd may to 8th may 2023. The location could not have been better, perhaps the best location in Puri if you want an uncrowded beach right in front of your balcony. You can lie on your bed watching the waves, but for that you have to rent a premium front sea facing room. However room size is a bit small for three persons and there is hardly any space left after the extra bed is put in.
The room staff are friendly and housekeeping is consistently engaged to keep the premises clean.
The food is a bit overpriced considering the hotel.
However big letdowns is authentic Oriya food is not available in the hotel and they concentrate solely on Bengali cuisine.
The other minus is the "could not care less" attitude of the front desk staff. Though not downright rude they will definitely not make you feel welcome. The attitude is if you stay it is fine if you do not stay it is fine too, there are lot of other customers. 

Fantastic location, good stay, somewhat lukewarm response from the front desk.

Very good well maintained hotel.
Little far from main market but still it is well recommended.
Best is their breakfast spread.
Room service food was okok.
Good place to relax and enjoy the cascading waves of bay of Bengal.

Good Stay.

We have been to Puri  many times like others and stayed at many  good hotels, mostly located at Chakra Tirtha Road. This time we stayed at Sonar Bangla located at New Marine Drive and had an unique experience. This hotel is probably most close to the Sea as the arterial marine drive road in frond of the hotel, curves closely towards sea here and goes almost through the sea beach and the hotel being on the road itself comes also close to the sea and stands almost on the beach barring this road in between. As a result one can enjoy the sea very closely staying in the sea facing upper floor  rooms of this hotel.
Rooms are comfortable and the balcony overlooking the sea is precious for tourists. Wall to wall glass door allows boarders to have a panoramic view of the sea and the beach even while lying on the bed.
Food is good.as usual and everything is professionally maintained.
Only negative side is tourists should be mentally prepared to check out at 7 am as they think all tourists travel to and from Puri by train only.
We had a flight back home which was supposed to depart at 4 pm from Bhubaneswar. Therefore we had visited Lingaraj Temple at Bhubaneswar after leaving hotel at 7 which is very worth visiting heritage temple with rich historical background.

The hype and the price does not make it worthwhile. We went there with my elderly mother and had a worst experience. The staff was not friendly, right from the security personnel at the entrance to the reception and the cafe area. The people managing the front desk hardly had the attitude of service and were rude when we asked some questions. Their phone numbers were not working so we were not given the right information until we landed there. They push for the stay - in option and cater to them more. For a five star hotel, the service was so poor that we were not even offered a glass of water. This would be unbelievable in any  resort outside India. There is hardly any friendly behaviour towards the elderly people. 
We were told rudely that the hotel grounds are out of bounds for people visiting only for the day trip and lunch. Our car was not allowed to park inside although we said that we had come for the lunch there. 
Worst experience. Will not recommend it to anyone.

Worst experience. Not recommended.

Most staff are courteous but few are rude.One person directly charged us suspecting that we were taking hotel towels to beach,which was not the case.he didn't have the manner to apologise!
Next while Cleaning room, and changing linen housekeeping staff took away one piece of my night dress white in color.when asked they denied.thats a horrific experience with any hotel I had ever had.still staying at property God knows what else is in store .
Very pricey starting from food to accomodation but at best this is a mid range hotel and not a luxury stay as the price might suggest! 
If looking for luxury, stay away from mid range hotel sonar bangla which is overpriced compared to facilities.and talking about bathrooms...the less said the better.its tiny and very basic nothing that justify the price!!
And only stick to basic Bengali food anything else is absolutely roadside taste.
Overall if other options are available in this price range stay away from hotel sonar bangla.

Mid range hotel in garb of luxury!

The hotel was located at the New marine drive Puri. From outside it looked pretty decent. There was a garden at the front with chairs. There was this guy who took our luggage inside. The lobby had a few chairs a toddler's room and a gym. Near the front desk there was a Odiya carving. After checking in we were given two rooms at the second floor. Our room was a deluxe room which had tiny bathroom a cosy but small bed a cubourd a fridge a tea kettle and other stuff. There was a balcony also with chairs and a table. The restraunt was small but the food was good. The service was bad the bathroom was also bad meanwhile the room and food was good.
SO THE REVIEW ENDS HERE BYEE!!!
