have stayed at PR twice, once in 05 and again in 07....would stay again if I was doing a package deal. Luckily we never had a problem with noise apart from one night and honestly I am certain this can happen anywhere anytime if you are unlucky.( it was only one night too )
I love a drink myself but feel I am respectful of other people's space....not everybody is the same as us thats for sure.
We found staff to be fairly friendly, breakfasts lovely (you order a la cart rather than buffet) and there are 2 pools....the one closer to reception is much quieter and less frequented but thats the one we chose to use.
No one can reassre you that it will be fine when you go but I do hope it is. We have also stayed at KP and would stay again. The Puri is a smaller hotel and the corridor effect possibly does make the noise a bit more of an issue but I wouldnt think there is much of a difference in clientelle.
As I said Just my opinion !!
