The retiring rooms & dormitories at Kathgodam railway station are way too good to be charging a meagre sum of money for the faciliies they offer.
I had stayed in the dormitory and it was just for Rs 95 (12 hours slot). I had very low expectations to begin with, but I had no other option since I had to catch an early train in the morning, so staying as close to the station as possible was preferable.

To my surprise, the beds were neat, clean & tidy, with proper arrangements for privacy of the individual. The linens provided were neatly washed too. There was also a common sitting area where sofas were kept if you wanted to sit for a while. The toilets and bathrooms were very hygienic as well.
Being a man of few words, I'm probably underselling the expereince here. I guess you would have to be there to believe it.
My advice is, book a retiring room at KGM blindly if you ever visit the place and are looking for a place to stay.
Dormitories/retiring rooms are located on the first floor and the entry (right side of the main entry gate) as well the registration desk (at the platform) are located on the periphery of concourse.
P.S. I couldn't take any photos since I arrived late at night and left very early in the morning.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThe rooms to crash and chill at Kathgodam train station are freaking awesome! And you won't believe they charge peanuts for all the cool stuff they provide.
So, I crashed at the dormitory for only Rs 95 (for 12 hours). I wasn't expecting much at all but had no other choice 'cause I needed to catch an early train, so wanted to be as close to the station as possible.
But surprise, surprise - the beds were clean and comfy, and they had nice setups for privacy. The bedsheets were freshly washed and they even had a chill lounge area with comfy couches. The toilets and bathrooms were squeaky clean too.
I ain't much of a talker, but trust me, this place was awesome. You gotta check it out yourself to believe it!
My tip? Go ahead and book a room at KGM without a second thought if you ever swing by and need a place to crash.
Oh, and by the way, the dorms/rooms are on the first floor, near the entrance on the right side, and the registration desk is at the platform.
P.S. Sorry, couldn't snap any pics 'cause I got there super late and left super early.
please wait...Translate to HindiKathgodam Railway Station ke retiring rooms aur dormitories itne badiya hai ke unhone itna kaam daam maanga hai jo offer kiye gaye facilities ke liye!
Maine dormitory mein ruka tha aur sirf Rs 95 mein (12 ghante ke slot ke liye). Shuruwat mein meri expectations bilkul kam thi, lekin mujhe subah jaldi train pakadni thi, toh station ke paas rehna zyada behtar tha.
Meri surprise thi ki beds saaf-suthre aur privacy ke liye sahi tarah se arrange the. Di gayi linens bhi ache se dhoye gaye the. Ek common sitting area bhi tha jahan sofas the agar thodi der baithna chahte the. Toilets aur bathrooms bhi bahut saaf-suthre the.
Mai words ka kam upyog karne wala insaan hoon, shayad mai yahaan experience ko kam bata raha hoon. Shayad aapko wahin jake dekhna padega manne ke liye.
Mera mashwara hai, agar kabhi aap wahan jaaye aur ek achha sthaan chahiye toh KGM mein ek retiring room book karlo bina soche samjhe.
Dormitories/retiring rooms pehle floor par hote hain aur entry (main entry gate ka right side) aur registration desk (platform par) concourse ke kinare par hote hain.
P.S. Main raat mein der se pahuncha tha aur subah jaldi chala gaya isliye maine koi photo nahi le paya.
