New Sagarika Holiday Home, Puri!!! BEWARE OF BEING CHEATED as we are the victims. We went to Puri on 19-05-13. We booked this holiday home from Jonak Mondal, Dumdum, Madhugarh on 26-04-13, Bill No. – 073, with an amount of Rs. 4500/- by cash payment for two rooms @Rs. 450/- per day for 5 days (19-05-13 to 23-05-13). We reached Puri at night about 11.10 p.m., went to New Sagarika.
WE RAN OFF FROM NEW SAGARIKA ON 20-05-13 AT THE EARLY MORNING (5.30 A.M.). However, the Caretaker/landlord of New Sagarika charged Rs. 40/- for Room and Bathroom cleaning as we stayed at night at New Sagarika Holiday Home. DON’T RELY ON THE ADVERTISEMENT THEY PUT IT IN QUIKR.
THE REASONS ARE –
As it is situated in Diganta Lane, Puri adjacent to Sargadwar Samshan Ghat, you have to inhale the smell of smoke of burning dead bodies for 24 hours as the wind blows from the sea towards New Sagarika.
The condition of the rooms in ground floor are horrible, very suffocative, filled with cockroaches, lizards and so many unknown insects including very common mosquitoes.
The rooms are fitted with single 11 wt PL lamp and one slow speed fan, what you can see that it is revolving but hardly you feel the breeze.
The attached filthy Indian style bathroom is one of the worst experiences to be. A strong unhealthy odor will come out every time when you will open the door as no proper exhaust is there in the bathroom. Moreover You will find Only a zero power yellow bulb in the bathroom.
The Bed and the bed cover are yet another things to explore; when it was bought and washed properly only Lord Jagannath knows.
The so called attached kitchen’s size is 4 ft x 3 ft without any windows to exhaust with 2 L pattern stone slabs.
It is actually situated a little bit interior from the sea beach.
The approach lane is narrow. No air flow is there in the rooms.
The behaviour of the caretaker/landlord is very violent. The one and only thing he knows is rupee, he don’t bother for any services at all.
BEWARE OF BEING CHEATED.
