My recent stay at Hotel Rail View in Bhubaneswar was a mixed bag, but ultimately offered good value for the price. The room itself was a highlight; it was clean, well-lit, and the ambiance was very pleasant. I particularly appreciated the comfortable bed and clean sheets, which made for a great night's sleep. The bathroom was also spotless. A big plus was the thoughtful provision of a kettle, along with a generous supply of tea, coffee, and sugar packets, which added a nice touch of convenience.
However, there were a few issues that detracted from the experience. The geyser in my room wasn't working, which was a significant inconvenience. I also noticed that tissues were not provided. More importantly, I found the staff's demeanor to be a bit rude and felt a bit judged, which made me feel less welcome. While the service was otherwise efficient, this aspect was disappointing.
Despite these issues, the hotel's great location and reasonable price make it a decent option for travelers looking for a comfortable stay. If they can improve on their staff's hospitality and address the maintenance issues, it would be an excellent choice.
