Surat is a major port and commercial city on the Tapi River in south Gujarat, India, known as the diamond and textile capital. It has black-sand beaches at Dumas and Suvali, a 16th-century castle, a science centre and a growing transport network.
Accommodation overview
Surat, the textile and diamond-polishing city on the Tapti River in Gujarat, has hotels clustered in a few distinct districts. The Railway Station, Ring Road and Delhi Gate area holds the largest group of budget and mid-range hotels, within walking distance of Surat station and the textile markets, including Lords Plaza and Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre. Athwa and Parle Point, on Dumas Road beside the Tapti, hold the Surat Marriott Hotel and the city's main restaurant strip. Piplod, Vesu and the VIP Road corridor to the south-west and the City Light area have newer business and family hotels, Adajan and Pal are residential districts with mid-range stays, and Dumas Road towards the airport has Le Meridien Surat at Magdalla Circle. Hazira Road in the west serves industrial visitors, including Courtyard by Marriott Surat. Most rates sit between INR 1,200 and INR 5,500 (about $12-57) per night for budget and mid-range hotels, with the five-star and international-brand hotels from about INR 5,700 ($59) to INR 12,900 ($134). Rates were converted at 1 USD = 96 INR and the listed prices are the lowest advertised rates, so actual nightly prices vary by date. Gujarat's alcohol prohibition applies in the state; hotels generally do not serve alcohol.

Check rates on Booking.comBooking tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 weeks ahead for the Diwali period in October-November and for textile-trade exhibitions, when Ring Road and station-area hotels fill quickly.
Compare the hotel's own website with Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda and Trip.com; many small hotels list only on aggregators and quoted prices often exclude GST.
Choose a hotel in the Railway Station or Ring Road area for early train departures; Surat station lies within a few minutes' walk of dozens of hotels on Unapani Road and Station Road.
For flights, Surat Airport is south-west of the city on the Dumas Road side; hotels near Dumas Road and Magdalla, such as Le Meridien Surat, are the closest options.
Expect Surat's heavy traffic: the drive between Athwa and the Railway Station area can take 30-45 minutes at peak hours, so pick the area that suits the day's plan.
Gujarat is a prohibition state, so hotels generally do not serve alcohol; confirm the current rules with the hotel.
Carry photo ID for every guest; Indian hotels record ID at check-in, and foreign visitors complete Form C registration, which the hotel files.
Check whether breakfast, parking and airport or station transfers are included, as policies vary widely between independent hotels and chains.
