Hostels & PG
in Old Town

Hanspal is on the eastern outskirts of Bhubaneswar near the Cuttack highway, with new residential and commercial development drawing those priced out of the city centre. PG places are in newer construction at low rents, suited to workers and students who have transport to commute to the central areas. The area's growth is recent, so markets and services are still catching up.

Dumduma is a residential area in south Bhubaneswar that has grown around housing developments, institutional campuses, and the southern extension of the city. It has a quieter, more suburban character than the northern IT zone and offers moderate rents. PGs attract government employees and professionals working in the southern part of the city who prefer a residential setting over the busier northern corridor.

Nayapalli is a residential area in central-west Bhubaneswar with a combination of government housing and private residences in a green, tree-lined setting. It is close to the Jaydev Vihar commercial zone and offers moderate rents. PGs suit government employees and professionals who want a calm neighbourhood near the city centre without the noise of the commercial strips or the student crowds of the IT corridor.

Chandrasekharpur (often called CSpur) is a planned residential area north of the city centre, close to KIIT, the Infocity IT park, and several hospitals. It has wider roads and more modern network than the old city, with apartment complexes and parks. PGs here are popular with IT professionals and students who want a less congested, better-planned environment than the older central areas.

Patia is the epicentre of Bhubaneswar's student PG market, located near KIIT University and the Infocity IT park. Thousands of students and young IT professionals rent here, creating a packed market of food stalls, coaching centres, and student services. PG places range from basic shared rooms to furnished single-occupancy stays, with intense competition among landlords keeping rents relatively competitive for the location.

Kalinga Nagar is a residential area near the KIIT campus and the IT corridor that has developed rapidly with student and professional accommodation in recent years. PGs here offer an alternative to the more crowded Patia area at slightly lower rents, while remaining close to the university and tech-park employment zone. The area has newer construction and a growing local market with student-oriented services.

IRC Village is a well-planned residential colony in the Nayapalli area, originally developed by the Indian Red Cross. It has tree-lined streets, parks, and a calm residential atmosphere that stands out in central Bhubaneswar. PGs here attract government employees and professionals who prefer a quiet, green neighbourhood near the city centre, though options are limited due to the colony's residential-only character.

Pahal is a semi-urban area on the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack highway, offering some of the most low-cost rents for those who commute between the two cities or work at businesses along the highway corridor. The area is developing but still lacks the convenience and amenities of central Bhubaneswar. PGs are basic and serve budget-conscious workers and students who can manage with minimal local facilities.
