✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
The hotel has confirmed that pets are allowed in private rooms only. There are no extra charges for bringing your pet. This policy applies to private room bookings — pets are not permitted in shared or dormitory-type accommodations. Always confirm directly with the property before arrival, as policies can change.
The Location — Temple Town, Literally
Hotel VIP Premium is located on VIP Road, Puri, in the Banki Muhana area, behind Blessed Sacrament High School and adjacent to Pride Ananya Resort. Multiple reviewers confirm the hotel is within a 3–5 minute walk of the western entrance (Paschim Dwar) of the Jagannath Temple. For pet parents, this is useful context: the temple area itself is a busy, narrow-laned pilgrimage zone with significant foot traffic, street food vendors, and street dogs. walking these lanes with your dog is possible but requires calm, leashed behaviour — especially during festival seasons like Rath Yatra when crowds multiply significantly. The beach at Puri is approximately 2–3 km from the property, reachable by auto or a longer walk. Puri Beach is a public beach and a popular spot for dogs in the early morning hours.
The Rooms and What Pet Parents Should Know
Based on reviewer photos, rooms are simple, clean, and functional — wooden-floored double rooms with basic furnishings, ceiling fans, and attached bathrooms. The property is a compact multi-floor hotel building typical of Puri's mid-budget category. no extra charges for your pet is a meaningful policy in a city where many hotels simply refuse entry to dogs or charge unpredictable pet fees. The hotel's confirmation that pets are allowed in private rooms only means you'll be booking a private room (not a dorm or shared space), which is the standard setup for a hotel of this type anyway. Check-in is at 9:00 AM and check-out at 10:00 AM — shorter check-out window than most properties, so plan your morning accordingly, especially if you're walking your dog before the city heats up.
What We Haven't Confirmed Yet
The following details are not available from current sources and are worth confirming directly with the hotel before you book. No information is available on weight or size restrictions for dogs — whether large breeds are explicitly welcome or limited to smaller pets. There is no confirmation of outdoor or garden space on the property where dogs can relieve themselves, which is an important practical question for any pet parent in an urban hotel setting. Pet amenities (bowls, beds, disposal bags) have not been mentioned in any review or source, so assume you'll need to bring everything your dog needs. The property's parking situation is also unconfirmed — VIP Road is a busy urban road and street parking may be the only option. Call the hotel directly on 070082 13487 before arrival to confirm current pet policy, especially if you are travelling with a large breed or multiple dogs.
