    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers a peaceful vibe, perfect for relaxation. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms and the fully-equipped kitchen, making it feel like home. The caretaker is responsive and available for assistance, adding to the comfort. The proximity to a kid’s park and beach is another highlight, though having your own vehicle is recommended for convenience. Many guests have noted great hospitality from the owner, making it a welcoming stay.

    Terrible Stay

    henarani n.family

    "i am extremely dissatisfied with everything. The property is not a hotel, but a housing society located in a remote area. I would not recommend it to travelers who are looking for a short stay and are relying on public transportation. Unlike hotels, you won't receive any services, and it's unlikely that you'll find any staff on hand to assist you. During our stay, it was raining outside, and we requested morning tea from the staff, but they refused. The most disappointing experience was when we checked in on december 25th at 3 pm, and the owner asked us to check out on december 27th at 7:30 am, despite our booking being for three days and two nights"there was no cleanliness of the rooms and washroom. The assets are broken. The refrigerator is not functioning

    Thanks for your response. We have updated our property as a home stay & no where we mentioned it as a hotel. You should check the basic information about the property before booking. We don't provide room service as it's a home stay & we have provided gas stove, utensils & crockery for self cooking. In Puri, the check-out time is 7.30 am to 8 am, however you have demanded for 24hrs Check-out facilities. You booked for two nights & expected to stay 3 full day. There was no feedback after your check-in regarding cleanness and refrigerator not functioning. I personally sent whatsapp for any issues or requirements , but you didn't say anything. Thanks for choosing Shonar Kutir.

    Average Stay

    anshuman n.family

    Overall the experience was average. Here are the good and bad things I have experienced during my stay Good things 1. Mr. was quick and always available over the phone for any kind of assistance. also there was a caretaker who is staying inside the complex and will help you if you call him over the phone. 2. The area is peaceful. You can relax. 3. Has free access to the kid's park. My 3 yr old enjoyed the park 4. U can have a nice walk in the evening. 5. Sea beach is around 1 Km from the hotel, however this beach is not the main golden beach. 6. Own vehicle is recommended, if not u will get rented bikes, e rikshaw just outside the building gate Bad Things 1. Although in Booking details, the room is mentioned as Swimming pool views, in reality no such thing is found. When asked Mr., said that the trees must have grown up, so the swimming pool is not visible 🥲🥲 2. The room was full of mouse shit. In fact we encountered a mouse which ate our biscuits packet . Terrible. 3. Window AC has a lot of gaps through which mosquitoes used to enter during evening 4. The window AC remote was not working and the caretaker is well aware of the same. still nothing done to rectify it. So basically u can't change the temperature, or switch off. Every time u have u on or off the main switch. 5. If you order food from Zomato, then u have to ask the caretaker every time to collect the packet from the main gate as delivery guys are not allowed inside the complex. From my room the main gate is around 300 MTR. 6. The swimming pool is chargeable, 100 rs each and every time u have to pay if you exit the swimming pool main gate. 7. All the outside Premises of the building is very badly maintained, dirty which will not give u a hygienic vibe. Overall I would say at this price range, I was expecting a better experience since I have stayed in many kinds of hotel/ home stays. Requesting Mr. pls repair all the room locks, balcony door, take care of the mouse issue. rest ok. cheers.

    Thanks for choosing Shonar Kutir. We really very sorry for the inconvenience caused due to the rat sits. After your information, we catch the rat from the room. As the rooms are having kitchen facilities & guests are keeping food items, rats coming in night to eat. We have cleaned the house after catched the rat. Regarding other points, we are working on it. This is a home stay & taking care by caretaker. Somehow he missed to inform about the Rat & missed to clean the area. Thanks for your feedback. We upgrade our home stay little better.

    Thanks for choosing Shonar Kutir. It's a home stay facility in a gated society. During your stay, the lift was under maintenance, so it didn't work. We are very sorry for the inconveniences caused. Our 1 bhk flat is like your 2nd home. So I can't match with hotel rooms.

    It feels like we spent 2 days at puri spent in our own flat.

    piyali t.family

    Location - little far from center of the city, sargadwar market area and beach. This is near light house in puri. The nearest beach is lighthouse beach which is lesser crowded than swargadwar beach. If you have 10-15 minutes time then you can easily walk to the light house beach. Transport - cars, auto service is available just beside the property gate ( krisna sea sight) and nearly 24/7 available and they are very helpful. R fare is fixed - mandir 200, beach 150, station 300. Propert - it is not any hotel, but it is like your own separated flat with 1 bedroom, bathroom, balcony and dining cum kitchen area with geyser, ac, 2 fridges, inverter, kuchen cabinet full with utensils, dish and spoon and dishwash soap. No hazard we face locating the property as this area is well-known as the biggest hotel. Pool, restaurants ( standard food and quantity), park are there. 1 thing there is no reception - completely self service based. Still a very good place for stay.

    Please don't book this and get trapped

    deeptarka r.loyalty-iconfamily

    This homestay is in a very secluded portion of puri traveling is very difficult which is compounded by property rules of not allowing entry to vehicles the ac model is very backdated and doesn't work during power cuts which is extremely frequent there is no provision of any food service though there is a restaurant inside the complex the lift in the property is very unsafe and an accident is waiting to happen. The outside gate opens when the lift has actually left. Please be very careful and don't take kids to the property this is so far from the sea thar u won't be able to see even from the terrace. There are plenty of other options nearer to beach be ready to be conned going anywhere because only s0ecific veh9cles are allowed to operate in this area and u have to pay what they demand avoid this

    Can you please explain how you got trapped.We gave the same flat as mentioned in our property.You expected services like hotel from a homestay.Next time when you book please check the property details before booking and then review accordingly.All acs are functioning and making cool,l what you will do with the AC model and we have restrictions to have windows AC in the premise.There are 3 restaurants inside the complex and we provided a fully setup kitchen then how you are saying there is no provision of food.Can you check the Google distance from the beach if it is so far I doubt your fitness and we have also not mentioned it's in front of beach. It is a homestay with balcony and our recurrent guest comes with kid as they get kitchen here.I agree balcony is unsafe but it's in every high rise apartment .you need to take care of your kid sometime. At Puri no one gives extended checkout and we provided extended checkout till 11 without any extra charges and you are saying got trapped.We are in a secure premise and security takes detail of any person coming outside.I suggest don't get trapped and book in a 5 star hotel next time.

    Good Stay

    kaushik b.loyalty-icon

    The location is good, neat to beach and away from crowded area. All required amenities are available to stay. Both the owner and the staff are well-behaved and helpful. There is a water purifier as well, but it was not working when i was there. A stink smell is there. However, that goes off once we turn on the ac. Electricity, an issue in that location, faced frequent power cuts. Backup do well without ac and water heater.

    I won't recommend people are travelling with their family, because their service is pathetic no maintenance at all I stayed there for there days and last two days I had to use the stairs to climb up the fifth floor, then they charge for the swimming pool separately. And their cleanness is not up the mark, so think twice before you book this hotel.

The apartment is maintained in very neat and the fully furnished condition. Thanks for all the help. Definitely worth staying. The security of the entire property is top notch.
