Hotel Aravali

Top choice in Eastern Rajasthan


One of the town’s best choices, this conveniently located hotel has been partly refurbished. Cheaper rooms are a little worn and weary but rooms are large and well furnished and have big bathrooms. The multicuisine Bridge Restaurant is one of the best in town, and there's a bar. Turn left out of the train station and it’s about 300m down the road.
