Hotel Blue Leaf

Hotel Blue Leaf is a budget hotel near The Grand Thakar on Kalawad Road in Rajkot, Gujarat. The Grand Thakar is a recognised landmark on the western side of the city, in an area of shopping centres, restaurants and newer residential neighbourhoods, away from the narrow lanes of the old city. The location suits visitors who want modern amenities nearby and easy road access towards Kalavad and the wider Saurashtra region. The Watson Museum, the Kaba Gandhi No Delo and Rajkot Junction railway station are a drive away in the central and eastern parts of the city, with travel times depending on traffic. The hotel follows a plain modern city format. The only listed amenity is room service, which suggests a very basic offering without a restaurant, pool, spa or gym, and free WiFi is not confirmed, so visitors who need a connection should check with the hotel. Listed rates run from about INR 1,700 to INR 1,800 (roughly USD 18-19) per night, and the guest rating averages about 3.4, a modest but typical figure for a budget stay. Rooms are simple and functional, suited to solo travellers, couples and business visitors on a limited budget. Dining is mainly through room service, supplemented by the restaurants nearby serving vegetarian Gujarati thalis, North Indian dishes and Indo-Chinese food; Rajkot is also known for its street snacks, chai and sweets. The service character is practical and unfussy. Gujarat's prohibition rules mean alcohol is not served. Visitors without their own vehicle should plan to use taxis or auto-rickshaws for sightseeing, since the hotel lies outside the compact old-city centre.
