We were 5 people staying at Hare Krushna Lodge for one night. The hotel is perfect for those who want to stay just beside the Puri Jagannath Temple. The view from the room is beautiful — you can see the entire Jagannath Temple clearly all the time from the hotel. From the hotel gate, the Bagh Dwar (one of the main gates of the temple) is just 1 minute’s walk.
✅ Positives:
Excellent location, just beside the Jagannath Temple.
Beautiful temple view directly from the room.
Clean and well-maintained rooms and bathrooms.
Geyser available in the bathroom with good hot water supply.
They provide one water bottle, one soap, extra bed, pillow, bed cover, and blanket if needed — no extra cost for these.
Room service available.
AC and fan both work well.
⚠️ Points to Note:
1. For food, if you don’t eat mahaprasad at the temple, you’ll need to walk around 7–8 minutes to reach the Singha Dwar area where most eateries are located.
2. Room size is small, around 100 sq. ft. (including the bathroom). Both AC and Non-AC rooms are of the same size — the only difference is whether the AC is turned on.
3. No cooking facilities in the room.
🚖 Additional Info:
The beach is about 2 km away, and an e-rickshaw costs ₹150–200 to reach there.
⭐ Overall:
A great stay for devotees visiting the Jagannath Temple who want a clean, budget-friendly lodge with a direct temple view and don’t mind a small room size.
