Hotel Konark

About Hotel Konark

Hotel Konark suits travellers who need a straightforward, no-frills base in west Ahmedabad. The 2-star property is in Vastrapur, a residential and commercial area with easy access to the SG Highway corridor. It works for couples, small families and business visitors who plan to spend most of their time out exploring the city or working. The hotel keeps things simple: a place to sleep, park a car and store luggage. Late arrivals benefit from a 24-hour front desk.

This is a budget-oriented stay with a 2-star official rating. The listed facilities cover the essentials: free car parking, laundry service, luggage storage and wheelchair accessibility. The 24-hour front desk means check-in at any hour is possible. The hotel is not a resort or a full-service business hotel. It is a functional option for travellers who prioritise location and price over amenities. The Vastrapur setting places it close to several west-side landmarks.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities include a 24-hour front desk, free car parking, laundry service, luggage storage and wheelchair accessibility. For couples, families or business travellers, the property can likely provide a standard room with basic bedding and a private bathroom, but you must confirm the exact configuration, bed size and whether air conditioning is included. Late arrivals are accommodated by the round-the-clock front desk. The wheelchair-accessible feature suggests at least some ground-floor rooms or ramps. Always check directly with Hotel Konark about room amenities, extra beds for children and any charges for laundry or luggage storage before booking.
