Stayed in 1st floor rooms which are big sized with an open verandah / balcony giving good view of the sea. Though rooms are pretty big, it did not have matching air-conditioner for effective cooling. This AC also had condensate water dripping inside the room on the wooden flooring creating a tip-a-tap sound the entire night. Only 1 ceiling fan... More

For those who like the slightly faded Raj style, this is the place. Each room is themed after a route or company from Indian Railways. We stayed in the Darjeeling room. There is a slightly forlorn steam locomotive on a plinth in the gardens thsat is lit up at night. The place is large, clean and spacious, and soon to... More

Lovely large rooms. Clean. Good furniture. Lovely clean bath room. A nice restaurant. A decent view. The room was well done. The hotel has been recently renovated but has lost none of the old world charm it had when it war built as a guesthouse for the Bengal Nagpur railways. In Orissa, you get a feeling that anything modern just... More

Our large group of 12 stayed at this hotel for 2-4 nights last month. It is well-located and lovely to look at - a heritage property that has been modernized without sacrificing its "feel". Rooms are simple, but totally adequate for a hotel in its class. Still, there is much room for improvement. Customer service is earnest, but verging on... More

We spent our honeymoon at the BNR and have come back to the day 40 years later. The building, rooms and garden have been renovated by the new owner remakably well keeping in place much of the heritage angle of the property but at the same time modernizing the rooms, plumbing etc. But all the good ends here.
