Hotel Elite

The restaurant is okay, though most of the food is vegetarian and they don't serve anything with cheese. Rooms on the floor above reception are better than the ones at reception level. The place is about 500 m from the railway station and close to the bus stand, but there's no lift up to reception. Checkout is on a 24-hour basis, or whatever they decide, so plan ahead.

The rooms are spacious and the staff treated guests very well, so it was a comfortable business stay for me. One heartfelt suggestion, though: be careful where you eat in Gandhidham. I had some of the worst food I've come across in 15 years of travel at Noori hotel, one of the hotels opposite the station. My experience there was awful.

The staff were helpful and professional, and the bed was clean. The room itself was comfortable, but the floor could have been cleaner. The bathroom fittings were rusty and very old, and we couldn't get hot water on a winter morning.

The hotel is handy for travellers, close to both the railway station and bus stand, and the rooms were good. Cleanliness and staff behaviour were good too. Food was average, and the bath water was salty. That's apparently normal throughout Gandhidham because the sea is near the city.
