Hotel Prince

Hotel Prince is a long-running budget hotel on Station Road in Bhuj, the main town of Kutch district in western Gujarat, India. Station Road is close to the bus and railway stations, and the hotel sits within a short auto-rickshaw ride of the old town, where the Aina Mahal and the Prag Mahal palaces, the Kutch Museum and Hamirsar Lake are the main sights. Bhuj is the gateway for Kutch's craft villages, such as Bhujodi, Ajrakhpur and Nirona, known for weaving, block printing and lacquerwork, and for trips to the White Rann near Dhordo roughly 80 km to the north. The hotel is a plain, functional city property rather than a heritage or resort building, and its appeal is convenience and price. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Non-AC Rooms, so guests can choose according to budget, with air conditioning available in the higher categories, plus wifi and 24-hour reception. Amenities include an on-site restaurant serving vegetarian Gujarati and North Indian meals, and the town has many small eateries where Kutchi dabeli, khichdi and kadhi are easy to find. There is no pool or spa, and facilities are basic, so it suits independent travellers and backpackers rather than those wanting comfort extras. Service is straightforward, and staff can typically help arrange drivers or shared transport for Rann and village trips. Rates commonly run between INR 1,800 and 3,500 per night, which makes it one of the more economical options in central Bhuj. It is a sensible base for visitors combining town sights with day excursions into Kutch.
