La Franklin Hotel

This is a very pretty hotel that left me with very mixed feelings after a 4 night stay.The hotel itself is a smallish one that has seen better days. Having been cut off from the highway due to a flyover coming in, the hotel looks like a beautiful green oasis in the middle of a typical rugged industrial area.The rooms are decently large and had most of the amenities expected at this budget. However, the bed mattresses are those soft ones with broken springs. And the pillows are very soft, offering absolutely no support. Consequence: assured neck and back pain.And you will surely see roaches in the bathroom - the housekeeping fellows cannot see them and do not hear when customers tell them about roaches.The food is affordable, but not remarkable. The "included" breakfast could have been a decent fare - but they repeat the menu every day so it is very boring.It could all have been good, but the front desk is the most rigid and obstinate part of the setup. Whether you ask for a hard mattress, a hard pillow or a plate to eat food I carried in, their policy is "pay for it". I really think the management should go and stay in similarly priced hotels that are doing well elsewhere to understand how the concept of hospitality has changed over the last decade they have stayed hidden under the flyover.And yes, the WiFi is very weak.Update: Based on a positive sounding response, we have again booked a stay at the hotel starting tomorrow. Let's see how it goes. Last time we were there, the Front Office was no hard-nosed that they didn't even let us speak to the Manager or any supervisor for 3 days.

We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful banquet event yesterday. Everything was exceptional ’ from the ambiance and service to the delicious food. Your team’s effort made the evening truly memorable.Special shout-out to Mr. N C Barik and team . We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.Thank you for making it so special!

We had a wonderful stay at La Franklin, Bhubaneswar. The food was absolutely amazing, and every meal felt special. The front desk team ’ especially Satrungha ’ assisted us wonderfully throughout our stay.Even though the hotel was fully occupied, the team made sure all our guests were comfortable. Their constant smiles, helpful nature, and attention to detail truly stood out.Overall, our stay was memorable, and we would happily visit again. Highly??recommended!

Service could have been more prompter. Any requirement had to be repeated twice in a period of 15 or 20 minutes to get it done. No exhaust in bathroom. Used plates were cleared by the staff and kept outside the room and they remained there for the next 24 hours.
