Gujarat & Diu
This luxurious and comfortable option occupies the totally renovated top floor of a former dharamsala (pilgrim rest house). Pilgrims never had it so good, with split-system air-con and LCD TVs. Rooms are beautifully bright, spacious and pristine, the beds are great, and everything works – incredible value for such quality.
If you want a quiet room at the back it'll cost you an extra ₹1000.
