Hotel Nova Boutique Rajkot

Hotel Nova Boutique Rajkot is a budget hotel near Jalaram Chiki in the Limda Chowk area of Rajkot's old city, Gujarat, pin code 360001. The old city is the traditional commercial heart of Rajkot, with crowded bazaars, temples, sweet shops and snack stalls, and the hotel's position puts these within walking distance. Rajkot Junction railway station is relatively close, and the Watson Museum and the Kaba Gandhi No Delo, the childhood home of Mahatma Gandhi, are a short auto-rickshaw ride away. The hotel is one of several Nova-branded properties in the city and follows a plain modern format despite its boutique name. Listed amenities are free WiFi and room service, so visitors should not expect a pool, spa or gym. Listed rates run from about INR 1,700 to INR 2,000 (roughly USD 18-21) per night, and the guest rating averages about 3.6, a decent score for the price. Rooms are simple and functional, suited to solo travellers, couples, pilgrims and short business stays. Dining is mainly through room service, supplemented by the many local eateries in the neighbourhood, where visitors can sample Gujarati thalis, farsan snacks, chikki and sweets; Jalaram Chiki is itself a reference to the local chikki sweet tradition. The service character is practical and informal. Gujarat's prohibition rules mean alcohol is not served on the premises. Old-city lanes around Limda Chowk can be congested and noisy, so travellers arriving with luggage should confirm the best route in advance, and light sleepers may prefer an upper floor.
