Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają

- Spacious rooms that actually feel like 5-star square footage
- Walking distance to Wide Angle Cinema and ISKCON Cross Road
Szybki przegląd: A solid, standard-issue business hotel that nails the breakfast but occasionally trips over its own housekeeping carpets.
Przejrzane przez @nawfanurie: I checked into Novotel Ahmedabad for a solo staycation and was blown away by the hospitality. From the floral welcome to the incredible breakfast in bed, I felt completely pampered. If you need a city recharge, this is the spot.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the pool heated?

How is the breakfast?
Excellent. The spread at 'The Square' is huge, featuring live dosa counters, local Gujarati snacks, and a dedicated chai station.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are allowed for a fee of approx. INR 1500 + taxes per night. They provide bowls but not food.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
Yes, but you need a permit if you are a resident of Gujarat. Visitors from outside Gujarat can get a temporary permit at the hotel.

Strictly subject to availability. They often charge for early check-in before 10 AM.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych

Ask for Kishan at the breakfast tea counter – his masala chai is legendary among regulars.

The 'Alfresco' outdoor seating is great in the evenings but mosquito-prone; ask for a coil.

Walk to 'Iscon Gathiya' nearby for a cheap, authentic Gujarati breakfast instead of the hotel buffet one morning.
