India lacks professionally managed, budget hotels. Hometel from Sarovar and in some places, Keys Hotels and obviously, the pioneer Ginger from Tata's Roots Corporation are the only choices so far. The facilities on offer, the pay-per-use policy all are still alien to me as an Indian - I would rather pay upfront all that I need to pay once and... More

Stayed at the Ginger Bhubaneshwar in April 2013 while on a road trip from Bangalore to Kolkota. Overall Experience: Just what you would expect from a well managed and maintained budget hotel. Expect the cheaper paint job, the patchy touchups and the 'just clean enough' bathrooms to keep you going through an over night stay. Rooms: On the border of... More

The hotel located in the newly developed part of the city is bit away from the main city however that should not be a problem as Bhubaneshwar is a small city and commuting is fairly cheap and easy. The reception staff could learn to smile while interacting with patrons rather than give the same plaid tight lipped look. However there... More

We stayed for a night at Ginger, Bhubaneshwar. Considering the hotel belongs to the Tata's, things could have been better. The general layout of the hotel, the rooms,the toilets, the lifts and the overall upkeep needs to be looked at. The restaurant at the ground floor is fine and the buffet breakfast is healthy. Location of the hotel is quite... More

This property is around 6 kms from the railway station. Some auto drivers did not know the location. We had to tell the drivers that this property is adjacent to Swosti Premium hotel (after Jayadev Vihar flyover on Nandan Kanan Road). We took auto rikshaws to commute to & from the hotel to different parts of the city. There were... More

I stayed at this hotel on 2nd Feb, 2013. The room was small, cramped and needed maintenance. The furniture and fittings gave a very cheap feeling. The window air-conditioner was an old one and made too much of a noise. Neither the sheets nor the toilet was very clean. The toilet was quite bad without much ventilation. The light fixtures...

I've maintained that all that budget travellers really need is clean sheets and clean loos. Finally I found the hotel chain that can deliver this. This was the first time I stayed at a Ginger property and it was excellent value for money. I do volunteer work for an NGO and pay my way so this was perfect. There are... More

Economy hotel...I understand but when the staff or anyone in the hotel doesn't even respond with a smile, it means lack of training on hospitality. The food (breakfast and lunch) is below par and perhaps very much avoidable. The maintenance of the rooms is not done regularly, you get odd smell in the room and yes carry your room freshner... More
