5-star hotels in Ajodhya
This shortlist gathers the 5-star hotels in Ajodhya, from homestays near the railway station to a tented camp on the Sarayu. It is for pilgrims and travellers who want the city's top class of stay, close to the temples and ghats.
Staying in Ajodhya
Ajodhya is the birthplace of Lord Rama and one of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism, its landscape dotted with temples, ashrams and ghats along the Sarayu. Visitors come for the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and the river ghats, and much of the city's life is concentrated around the river and the central temple districts. Transport in the city is mainly by auto-rickshaw, cycle-rickshaw or taxi, and on foot in the temple areas.
These hotels sit in different parts of that landscape. Several stand close to the centre, on Railway Station Road, Kaushlesh Kunj Colony, Jalwanpura and Sahabganj, all within about 2 km of the city centre. Others are further out, at Darshan Nagar, Saketpuri Colony, Karsewakpuram, Ranopali and along the Saryu River Ghaat Road. That range suits couples and families on a short pilgrimage break who want to walk to the temples, and business or longer-stay travellers who prefer more space away from the crowds.
