We have stayed at both, but last stayed in Mandira in 1991, before the new pool and multi-storey section was built. Later stopped in Puri Raja about six or more times until last year when renovations were done. I would prefer the Puri Raja to Mandira especially now the renovations have been done. I prefer upstairs, but my leader does not like climbing stairs. Smurf's comments are correct, downstairs porch is a little exposed to the passing traffic, but the little garden in front of it gives some privacy. Downstairs numbers are 1** and upstairs 2**.
