Memorable Stay at Hotel Koshal

MOHIT MALHOTRA

5

I stayed at Koshal Koshal Hotels for 3 days from 26th September – 29th September and we have booked 2 rooms namely a triple bed occupancy and a double bed one. As we landed in Bhubaneshwar from Delhi so after doing a local sight seeing in the city we reached Puri in the evening around 5.00 PM. The Koshal Hotels check-in was very smooth and the staff at the reception were very welcoming and courteous. The breakfast provided was very sumptuous. Overall, we had a memorable stay at Koshal Koshal Hotels. Whenever additional requirements in terms of toiletries, Iron or for that milk for baby was requested, it was provided in no time for which I express heartfelt thanks to the Koshal Hotels staff. The Koshal Hotels breakfast timings are from 7.30 AM – 10.00 AM. As we need to check out at 7.00 AM on 29th September, so I had a discussion with the Koshal Hotels’s operations Head Mr Satender Kumar to provide us with the breakfast around 6.30 AM to catch our return flight from Bhubaneshwar which is 60 KMS from the Koshal Hotels. Mr. Satender was very humble and kind enough to understand my request and on 29th September the staff has provided us with the breakfast at rather 6.15 AM to our surprise. Would like to thank Mr. Satender for this great gesture and also by providing warm hospitality during our stay. Would highly recommend anyone to stay at Hotel Koshal if you are planning to visit Lord Jagannath Puri 😊.

Good Stay

We stayed in xenious hermitage kushal Koshal Hotels for 2 days (11-13 nov) and our stay was really good. Check in was smooth and room was neat and clean when we arrived. Toiletries and room amenities were all good. Bathroom had a small issue but the reception folks were prompt enough to resolve it. We travel-led with a toddler and an infant and the Koshal Hotels staff were cooperative enough to provide us hot water everyday. Breakfast buffet spread was good and taste wise was also nice. We had asked for a late dinner on one day and they accommodated that as well, one just needs to order it beforehand. Overall stay was good. This Koshal Hotels is at close proximity to beach and hardly 2-3 kms away from jagannath temple. The surrounding needs a little beautification but i believe inside Koshal Hotels they have maintained everything they could. We couldn’t go to the pool but that looked clean and well maintained too. Since we had kids, we requested to checkout at 9:30 am and even though the standard checkout time for the Koshal Hotels was 8 am the staff were cooperative and allowed us to check out at a slightly later time. One can go for this Koshal Hotels. My thanks to the Koshal Hotels staff for hosting us.

Service, food, overall - good hotel

We stayed at koshal Koshal Hotelss for 3 days. The overall experience was good. Location of the Koshal Hotels is near sea beach, 200m walking distance from the beach even though the beach is not very good w. R. T. Cleanliness but you can visit in the morning times. The restaurant in the Koshal Hotels serves delicious food. All the items that we tasted were super awesome including veg and non veg especially there tandoor pomfret and prawns. Don't try fish curry was not that tasty. Service wise, the staff is friendly but there can be language barrier that you might face with room cleaning staff. Every service was provided in time. Rooms are good but they need to repair few things in the room especially in the bathroom. It's nothing that can't be managed though.

Excellent Stay

Comfortable. There are many pros points. Cleanliness, polite staff, nice food particularly the breakfast, clean and nice swimming pool, easy local conveyance to any nearby visiting spot, around 500m distance to beach from the Koshal Hotels. The room service, house service were good. Overall a very good Koshal Hotels for stay and was happy to see multiple lady employees, which is a nice initiative by Koshal Hotels in having good female to male ratio in their working staff. I would recommend every family to stay in the Koshal Hotels as it won't be too harsh on your pocket and the quality you get would not be compromised.

Overall great experience

Goura Prasad Sethi

Overall the Koshal Hotels is good just that it is far from the beach. Only a little part of the beach is visible from few specific rooms that to if the weather is sunny or the sky is clear. The rooms are good and very hygienic but as the Koshal Hotels is only a year old so it looks so the actual maintenance would come under the eyes after certain years. The quality of the food is good and the price and the portion is good. The pool is enough for people to enjoy on a hot sunny day. Overall from all respects of service, food, hygiene, etc, i would rate it 4. 5 out of 5

Excellent Stay

This Koshal Hotels is brand new with very clean and furnished rooms. Bathroom was also very clean. Room size according to the price is very decent. They also provide complimentary evening fruits and snacks. We had a very good experience in this place. The pool was also clean. The breakfast was average could be better. Other food that we ordered was much better. Hope they continue to keep up with all the amenities and cleanliness. One very small thing that we noticed that the towels provided were very very soft.

Very good experience

Hotel seems to be new. Rooms are good and spacious. With sufficient storage spaces and well furnished. Washroom is a bit small but manageable. The quality of the toiletries can be improved. The taste of the restaurant food can be improved too. Restaurant service is just okay. Buffet breakfast spread was decent. Has parking area as well. Property is near to the beach but little away from beach market temple.

Good stay

The property is new hence well maintained, has clean pool, food is good. The only concern with our stay is we ordered food at night and it was delayed and upon inquiry found out that the dish we ordered is not available, so the staff need to be more alert regarding guests request and communicate to them if something is not available

Excellent

Location is somewhat off beat, the staff are good and well mannered, restaurant service was slow as compared.

Good service but not close to market area

Hotel is a little isolated so you need to bargain with rickshaw. Upside is you have access to quite beach in walking distance.
