Chandipur is a beach resort at the North Coast of Odisha.
Run by the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. The location is its biggest selling point. It is right in front of the beach, and you get a sea view from the AC rooms only. But the service is just about ordinary for the price. This may not happen when the hotel is fully booked. The food isn't great either. You may prefer walking down to Subham for a better experience.
Largest campus in Chandipur, great landscape, lawns and children park . A/C - Non A/C, Family Rooms, Dorms. Restaurant.
Contact- Mr. Rohini Roy. 'Couples' are allowed on an hr. basis at a special cost. Some rooms have attached baths!
The hotel is on a 3-4 acre campus filled up with trees. There is a pond and a temple as well. An old fashioned hotel with modest but clean rooms. The food is OK, especially the prawns and paranthas.
