Everything about this hotel is exceptional, be it its location, rooms, cleanliness, amenities, food, or staff. This stay is undoubtedly one of the best hotel experiences I had in my life. The 1 km walking trail in the nicely maintained garden, a beautiful, inviting pool at the center court of the hotel, and the decor mesmerized me every day whenever I went across them. The infallible “Namaste” from every staff starting from the security gate to the maintenance, made me feel pampered and secured at home. The water-motifs in the lobby created by the garden staff using fresh flowers from the garden made me stop for few moments every morning to ponder over and think. They created different patterns every day. The food at The Restaurant was delicious and very well-served by the team. Each of them was great to interact with and very proactive in their service. Thanks to the pandemic, I didn’t venture out much and had to depend on the in-room dining. In the process, I tried many items from the menu on different times of the day and was thoroughly satisfied with the taste and flavor. I had booked my stay for a week but had to extend for another week as my connecting international flight from Delhi got canceled. They say everything happens for a reason. So true. I am remembering Ishaan, Gopinath, Anil, Sweety, Pinky, Suraj, Saurav, Keshav and many more while writing this review on my return flight to Chicago. They made Trident Bhubaneswar more lively and my stay memorable.
