Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bhubaneswar

I recently stayed at Welcomegroup ITC Bhubaneswar for 2 nights and 3 days (17th Feb to 19th Feb) on a business trip. While this wasn’t my first stay, I decided to try their much-acclaimed "Odia Thali," which ITC promotes as an authentic and traditional experience. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing—the flavors lacked authenticity, and it did not resemble true Odia cuisine. Additionally, the Dahi Vada and Aloo Dum were below expectations. The vada was too hard to eat, making it an unpleasant experience. Apart from the millet-based dishes, which were decent, the overall food quality was poor. Given the room tariff of ₹12,500 per night (+ GST), I found the stay to be overpriced in comparison to the quality of food and services provided. I hope the hotel takes this feedback seriously and works on improving the authenticity and quality of its offerings, especially if they market them as traditional.

Very good hospitality. One of the front desk guy Vineet was amazing. He cleared out all queries. They offered us happy hour in the evening in which they serve all the alcoholic beverages free. Room was again very spacious. Breakfast had actually many options. Must visit place

Stayed for one night. Very comfortable bed and had a good sleep. The room is spacious and clean. Their staff are courteous, and the breakfast spread was decent. Highly recommended for both business and personal stay at this property. The distance from/to airport was not more than 30 mins during the day.
