OYO 3066 D2 Holiday Inn (Puri)

OYO 3066 D2 Holiday Inn is a budget hotel on CT Road in Puri, Odisha — one of the most central strips in the city, sitting close to Model Beach and within walkable distance of the Jagannath Temple. For pet parents travelling to Puri, the confirmed pet policy is straightforward: pets are allowed in private rooms, and there are no additional pet charges. That combination — pets welcome at zero extra cost — is genuinely rare on CT Road, where most OYO-listed properties don't address pet access at all.

The Setting: CT Road, Puri

CT Road is Puri's main tourist spine — a long stretch running parallel to the beach, lined with hotels, restaurants, and shops. D2 Holiday Inn sits near the Mayfair end of CT Road, close to Model Beach, which means the sea is a short walk away. For anyone travelling with a dog, this is a meaningful location detail: morning and evening beach walks are genuinely accessible on foot. Puri beach is a public beach, and while local norms around dogs vary, the stretch near Model Beach tends to be less crowded than the main beach near the temple, making it more manageable for dogs. Reviewers specifically note the location scores a perfect 5.0, calling it one of the best-positioned stays on this stretch for the price.

The property is a 2-star hotel listed under OYO's network. Rooms are described by recent Google reviewers as neat, clean, and well-maintained — with one reviewer noting great value at such a low price and another highlighting the quiet atmosphere. Rooms start from approximately ₹885 per night based on available pricing data, though OYO rates vary significantly by date and demand.

Pet Policy — What's Confirmed

Pets are allowed in private rooms only, with no pet fee. This is a confirmed policy, not an inference. The "private room only" qualifier is worth noting: if you're booking a shared or dormitory-style arrangement, pets would not apply — but for standard room bookings at a property like this, private rooms are the standard unit anyway. No breed restrictions or weight limits have been stated in the available information. The absence of these restrictions is notable for a budget OYO property, where blanket pet bans are more common than explicit welcomes.

Since this is an OYO-managed property, the pet policy is tied to the individual property management rather than OYO's platform-wide rules. Always confirm pet acceptance when booking — either by calling the property directly on 0124 620 1180 or by noting your pet in the booking comments. OYO's central booking system does not always surface pet policies to the guest, so a direct conversation with the property before arrival is the safest approach.

What to Know Before You Visit

D2 Holiday Inn is a practical, no-frills stay rather than a pet-resort experience. Check-in is at 9:00 AM and check-out is at 8:00 AM — an early check-out time that's worth factoring into your morning plans if you have a dog that needs a walk before you hit the road. The property has a mixed review profile on Google (3.2 out of 5 across 454 reviews), with the strongest scores coming from location and room cleanliness, and more variable feedback on service consistency. One recent 1-star review flagged owner behaviour, which is worth keeping in mind — call ahead, confirm your booking, and establish the pet policy clearly before arrival.

For pet parents, the practical advantages here are real: zero pet charges, confirmed in-room access, and a walkable distance to the beach. What this property doesn't offer is any dedicated pet infrastructure — no pet beds, no bowls provided, no pet-specific outdoor area mentioned. Bring your own supplies. The surrounding CT Road area has some green verges and the beach itself for exercise, but there are no formal parks or off-leash areas nearby that we can confirm.

What We Haven't Confirmed Yet

The following details are not available from current sources and are worth verifying directly with the property before booking: whether there is a size or weight limit on pets; whether the no-pet-charge policy applies year-round or varies by season; whether parking is available on-site for road-trip arrivals; and whether any rooms are specifically designated as pet-friendly (which would affect room allocation at check-in).
