Hotel Nandanvan
( 2338916; Station Rd East; s/d ?450/550, with AC ?650/750; )
Unusually large and clean rooms
and bathrooms are on offer at this well-run hotel, set in a prime location close to Kailash
Restaurant. The noise coming off the main road might get to you at times, though.

Tourist's Home
( 2337212; Station Rd West; dm ?375, d ?500, with AC ?1000; )
This one's as basic as it gets. Most
rooms here are simply bare bones, but well-ventilated and clean. There are quite a few
rules and regulations to be adhered to, going by the noticeboard at the entrance, but it's
close to the train station.

Hotel Amarpreet

;
Jalna Rd; s/d from ?3875/5166; )
Old-fashioned though
spacious rooms might trigger the occasional hunch that you'd have got more bang for
your buck elsewhere, but the all-smiles management makes up for it with polite service,
excellent housekeeping and a great selection of food and booze. Ask for a room in the
western wing, with superb views of Bibi-qa-Maqbara. And look out for the new wing that
will double the hotel's size and add a pool, gym and spa. It was all under construction
when we visited.
MTDC Holiday Resort
( 2331513; Station Rd East; d from ?1260, with AC from ?1560; )
Set around a verdant lawn and
shaded by robust canopies, this curiously disorganised hotel is one of the better state-
owned operations in Maharashtra. The rooms, though lacking in character, are spacious
and tidy. Couples and solo travellers will be housed in the noisy rooms facing Station Rd;
families get the quieter block. There's also a well-stocked bar, a decent restaurant and a
couple of travel agencies (for Ellora and Ajanta tours) on-site. Come between March and
July and you will pay 20% less.
