Hotels in Rajkot: prices, season and areas
Rajkot is a large, busy city in the western state of Gujarat, one of the economic hearts of the Saurashtra region and a place tied to the early life of Mahatma Gandhi. It is more of a business and transit stop than a classic tourist destination, so guests usually stay two nights, and room rates are among the lowest of the cities in this set. Hotels cluster in the centre and along modern arteries such as Kalawad Road and 150 Feet Ring Road. This list has 99 properties, from a cheap guesthouse to a modern chain hotel. Below is what really drives the price of a stay in Rajkot: the season, the property type and the area.
When to book a stay in Rajkot for less
Rajkot is cheapest in May. It is the middle of the hot, pre-monsoon summer, when temperatures in Gujarat run high, traffic eases and prices can be as much as two thirds below the yearly average. November is the priciest, when more pleasant weather returns and the wedding season begins, drawing guests from across the region. Prices are low for a big city anyway, so even at the peak a stay stays affordable. The best time to visit is the cooler months, from late autumn to early spring.
What a stay costs by property type
Rajkot is one of the cheapest cities in this set, so even five stars cost about as much as a modest hotel in Europe. The cheapest sleep is in guesthouses and two-star places; you pay the most for the few five stars on the main arteries. Below are indicative nightly rates.
| Property type | Indicative price per night (from) |
| Guesthouse or two-star hotel | from approx. INR 860 |
| Three-star hotel | from approx. INR 2,490 |
| Four-star hotel | from approx. INR 4,330 |
| Family room | from approx. INR 4,300 |
| Five-star hotel | from approx. INR 7,410 |

Where a stay is cheaper and where it costs more
The cheapest sleep is in the older centre, around Limda Chowk and the station, where modest guesthouses and budget hotels cluster. The newer and pricier places, including chains, sit along the wide arteries: Kalawad Road, the 150 Feet Ring Road and by the Race Course, closer to the business districts and malls. Hotels by Rajkot airport suit an early flight or a short stop. The city is spread out, so when choosing, watch the access by car or taxi. There are no hard per-district price lists, so this is a general picture.
Which stay in Rajkot suits whom
- Business travel. Modern chain hotels on Kalawad Road and the 150 Feet Ring Road, close to companies, offices and malls. Most have meeting rooms and restaurants.
- Budget and transit. Cheap guesthouses in the centre by Limda Chowk and the station, good for a night or two on the road across Gujarat.
- For families. Hotels with family rooms and a restaurant, often with the vegetarian cuisine typical of the region. Handy for sightseeing with children.
- For couples. Intimate, better-rated mid-range and upscale hotels with full service and a good breakfast.
- Near the airport. Hotels near Rajkot airport (HSR) are handy for an early departure or a short layover while travelling around western India.
