Pilgrimage sites are for everyone—perhaps, these are the only places where you don’t care about the statuses, the worldly belongings and other caste or creed. All you want is to find the inner peace and sanctity ahead of all the materialistic aspects that life has to offer. Puri is another sanctified place in India which is “in season” throughout the year—thanks to the Jagannath Temple and the pious Sea! If you’re chalking your first trip to Puri, and you’re in search for some budget staying option, here we are to make your task easier.

Victoria Club Hotel

Just beside the iconic Puri Hotel and across the vast and roaring sea, you have yet another famous hotel, Victoria Club Hotel. Their tariff starts from 700 bucks for a double bed room in the ground floor to Rs. 3,450 for a Victoria King/Queen Suite! However, the true bet of this hotel is the lawn across it where you can enjoy some memorable time with yourself or with your near and dear ones—after all, evenings spent across the seas are indeed very special! Do check out their traditional Bengali spread at their in-house restaurant, you’ll be pleased!

Puri Hotel

One of the best budget hotels in Puri, Puri Hotel has been here since 1947. At first a humble accommodation provided by Late Makhanlal Halder and his wife, this hotel since then has been rated as one of the best in the town. Their Non AC rooms (airy indeed) starts from 600 and 800 (for a sea-facing one) while their AC Deluxe double bed room would set you back by 2200 bucks per night. From laundry to AC restaurant to pick up and drop facility and even a library facility, they have quite a nice wholesome package for all. They also have separate facilities for group travelers. However, the best thing about this hotel is that it has 24 hours check in facility!
