Ahmedabad's Hidden Gem: Sarovār Inn Narol - Unbelievable Hotel Deals!
Sarovār Inn Narol: Ahmedabad's "Hidden Gem"? Let's Dive In! (Unbelievable Hotel Deals… Really?)
Okay, so I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Ahmedabad, and let me tell you, the city is a glorious, chaotic tapestry woven with history, spice, and more honking than you can shake a stick at. Finding a decent hotel, especially one that doesn't break the bank, takes some real digging. Enter Sarovār Inn Narol – Unbelievable Hotel Deals! (Their words, not mine. We'll see about that "unbelievable" part, shall we?)
Accessibility: Getting There and Getting Around - Mostly Smooth Sailing.
First off, getting to the hotel was straightforward. It's in Narol, which is a bit outside the main city bustle, and that can be a pro or a con depending on your vibe. The hotel offers airport transfer, which is a lifesaver, especially after a long flight (more on that later – jet lag is REAL!). They also boast car parking [free of charge] and car park [on-site]. So, if you're driving or taking a taxi, you're sorted. The elevator is a definite plus. Now, regarding facilities for disabled guests, they claim to have them. I couldn't thoroughly vet this, but it's something to definitely check with the hotel directly if accessibility is a major concern.
Inside the Fortress of Comfort (aka the Room): A Mixed Bag…
Okay, let’s be REAL. The rooms? They’re… fine. Not "jaw-droppingly luxurious," mind you, but perfectly adequate, especially considering those "unbelievable hotel deals" they tout.
- The Good Stuff: The air conditioning was a godsend in the Ahmedabad heat. Free Wi-Fi (a full Wi-Fi [free] situation) in the room was a lifesaver. I’m talking actual, usable internet, which is a HUGE tick in my book! They also provided free bottled water, a welcome complimentary tea situation, and a surprisingly comfy bed with blackout curtains (essential for fighting jet lag, folks!). The bathroom had the usual suspects – shower, toiletries, etc. – and everything actually worked. There was a desk, which was handy for getting some work done (or, you know, endlessly scrolling through Instagram… guilty).
- The “Meh” Stuff: The décor was… functional. Think "slightly dated but clean." The bathroom could’ve used a modern update.And I’m not going to lie, my room was bordering on the "extra long bed" size. I'm not even that tall, and I felt like I was sleeping at a 90-degree angle! And the soundproofing? Let's just say I heard a fair bit of the outside chatter.
Amenities: Spa Days (Almost…) and Fitness Attempts.
Okay, the amenities are where things get a little… interesting. Let’s start with the pool – it’s Swimming pool [outdoor]. And the Fitness center? Well, it’s there. Let’s just say it won't win any awards. I'm a sucker for a good sauna and steamroom, and these weren't bad, actually. I tried the gym/fitness once (a bit of a disaster, truth be told, but at least they have one!), and the massage? I skipped that. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Food, Glorious Food (Or at Least, Food).
The food situation was… varied, to put it kindly.
- Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, a buffet. The Asian breakfast options were pretty good, and the coffee/tea in restaurant situation kept me going. I appreciated the Asian cuisine in restaurant situation .
- Other Meals: They have Restaurants with Western cuisine in restaurant options, which were… well, okay. A little bland for Ahmedabad, if I'm honest. I did indulge in a Snack bar session. The food was just… there. They also had Room service [24-hour](a HUGE plus after a long day of sightseeing and a late night back in the room!).
- Things I Didn't Get to Try (sadly): Poolside bar, Happy hour, Desserts in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Bottle of water
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping My Germaphobe Anxiety at Bay.
Okay, THIS is where Sarovār Inn Narol actually shone. They're clearly taking the whole hygiene thing seriously, and that's a HUGE relief in these post-pandemic times.
- Impressive Measures: Staff trained in safety protocol, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Shared stationery removed (thank goodness!), and Professional-grade sanitizing services were all in place. They also use Anti-viral cleaning products, which is a nice touch.
- Peace of Mind: There was a Doctor/nurse on call, which is always reassuring. They also had a First aid kit. All good signs.
For the Love of All That Is Holy: The Unbelievable Deals (The Verdict)
Okay, so the million-dollar question: were the deals actually "unbelievable?"
Yes. Kinda.
Look, this isn’t the Four Seasons. But for the price, considering the location, the decent Wi-Fi, and the safety precautions, it's a solid option. I’d say they definitely deliver on value, and honestly, that’s what I was looking for.
The Quirks, The Clumsiness, The Real Stuff
- The Elevator Drama: Okay, this is a totally personal anecdote, but one day the elevator got stuck between floors for a solid 20 minutes and I had a minor panic attack, but the staff was super and got it going again.
- The Language Barrier: The staff was friendly and helpful, but communication was sometimes a challenge. Keep in mind I am a terrible Hindi speaker (or any language other than English).
A Few More Thoughts:
- Services and Conveniences: They had a Concierge, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Luggage storage and the Daily housekeeping was pretty good.
- For the Kids: They had Family/child friendly options.
- Getting Around: They provided Taxi service and Airport transfer !
Overall Recommendation: Book it … if you're on a budget and want a CLEAN, SAFE, and convenient base for exploring Ahmedabad.

The Slightly Unhinged Itinerary: Ahmedabad & Me (aka: Surviving the Sarovar Inn)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Chai Quest
- 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM: Wake up at the crack of dawn. Which is ironic because I’m never a morning person. But flights… ugh. Packing? Let's just say my suitcase looks like a fashion bomb went off. Praying I didn't forget my… you know… the essentials. (Spoiler alert: I probably did.)
- Side note: The airport chaos was something else. People darting everywhere, kids screaming, and the sheer volume of luggage… Honestly, I felt like an extra in a Bollywood movie.
- 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Flight to Ahmedabad (fingers crossed I don't get stuck next to a chatty Cathy).
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Land! Arrived at the airport. A surprisingly smooth immigration experience. I'm immediately hit by the Ahmedabad heat. Sweet baby Jesus, it's going to be toasty!
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Transfer to Hotel Sarovar Inn Narol. The car ride was a blur of colour and movement. Cows. Rickshaws. More cows. Seriously, a lot of cows. I think I saw a cow wearing a hat. (Okay, maybe not, but the sun was playing tricks on my eyes.)
- 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: Check-in. The hotel lobby… okay, it's not the Four Seasons, but hey, it's got a bed, and that's all that matters right now. The AC is working, which is a miracle. The staff seems friendly enough, although I suspect I might need to brush up on my Hindi hand gestures. The room… well, it’s clean-ish. Let's not dwell on the details.
- 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM: The Great Chai Quest Begins! Okay, this is vital. I NEED chai. Like, NEED. Must find a decent tea stall nearby. The hotel restaurant is okay but no soul. I'm getting serious withdrawals. This is where the real adventure starts. Wandering around Narol. I've got my smartphone with a map on it, but let's be honest, I'm going to get lost. Probably several times. Praying the tea is worth it.
- Confession: I actually did get lost. Wandered down a narrow alleyway, nearly tripped over a rogue goat, and ended up in what appeared to be someone's backyard. Finally found chai! It was… glorious. A little sweet, a little spicy, pure heaven. (Emotional Reaction: Tears of joy. Seriously.)
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Lunch. I need carbs immediately. Finding a local restaurant. Fingers crossed that I don't end up with Delhi Belly on day one. Pray for me!
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Rest & Explore (Mostly Rest). Jet lag is a beast. Planning on trying to explore the local area. I'll explore the local area if I can find the energy to. Otherwise- just maybe take a nap. The AC is actually working.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was… edible. Not amazing, not terrible. Just… food. The paneer was okay. The dal? Let's just say I've had better. But at least it filled the void.
Day 2: Ahmedabad's Soul & My Questionable Navigation Skills
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. The usual buffet, which in this case is a lot of things I don't recognize. But hey, gotta try something. The paratha was alright. The coffee? Let's not talk about it.
- 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Visiting the local attractions. I'm going to the Sabarmati Ashram, Gandhi's former residence. Sounds meaningful, right? I just know I am going to be sweating buckets despite all the AC's.
- Rambles and Imperfections: Getting there was already problematic. Uber drivers seemed to not understand my request. Apparently my Hindi pronunciation is atrocious. I missed my first Uber, then got totally lost trying to find it. Spent an hour wandering. Ultimately, took a rickshaw - which was surprisingly cool after all the struggles. Arrived at the Ashram and found it was crowded, but the history, the atmosphere. I did tear up a little. Had to sit down, and drink something cold.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Lunch: Local street food. Gotta be brave. Gonna try some street food. This is where it gets dicey. Am I tempting fate with this? Yes. But I have a strong gut (apparently). I'm looking for a place that looks busy so that means it is good food.
- Quirky Observation: The sheer noise level. Everything everywhere is so loud! The horns, the chatter, the music, the vendors shouting. It's pure chaos, and I absolutely ADORE it!
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: More exploring. Maybe the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque? I'm hoping to just wander and people watch. Just seeing the city and its people. Maybe I'll find more chai.
- The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque: So beautiful. (and I really needed a nap.) I tried to learn about the history and the architecture and tried to take it all in.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Dinner at the hotel again. Or maybe, just maybe, I'll be brave and try to venture out on my own again. If I feel like I'm not likely to get lost, that is.
Day 3: Food, Fabric, and Farewell (Maybe)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Same as yesterday. Still alive! That's a win.
- 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Local market. Seeking out the famous textile shops and trying to navigate the crowd.
- Doubling Down: Okay, I'm doubling down on the textile shopping. I'M GOING TO BUY ALL THE FABRIC. The colours. The patterns. This will be a long day! I'm already planning out half a dozen dresses when I get home.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch. Must find another decent restaurant. Researching food options.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Packing. Trying to figure out how I'm going to fit all my new clothes in my suitcase.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Last Chai Run. Gotta get one last chai before I go, and I need to say my farewell to the friendly staff.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Reflecting on my experience.
- 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Head to the airport.
- 9:00 PM - Whatever PM: Fight back home. Goodbye Ahmedabad! Until next time.
The Bottom Line:
This trip isn't perfect. It's messy, unpredictable, and probably full of questionable decisions. But that’s what makes it an adventure. I'm exhausted, a little overwhelmed, and utterly in love with this city. Hotel Sarovar Inn? Well, it's a place to rest my weary head. And as long as there's chai, I’ll survive. Wish me luck! Or maybe, just send me some more caffeine.
Escape to Paradise: JA Palm Tree Court, Dubai's Luxurious Oasis
Okay, seriously... Sarovār Inn Narol? Is it REALLY a Hidden Gem? Sounds a bit… Narol-y.
Alright, alright. Narol isn't exactly the Champs-Élysées, I'll grant you that. But let me tell you, after slogging through Ahmedabad traffic for an hour, stumbling upon Sarovār Inn felt like finding a hidden oasis. I went in figuring it'd be… functional. You know? Clean, decent. But the staff actually *smiled*! And not that forced, corporate smile either. Genuine, like they were genuinely happy to see me. Seriously, first impressions can be everything, and they nailed it. Okay, maybe not a *gem* in the Hope Diamond sense, but definitely a well-hidden Amethyst, if you catch my drift. And listen, that's saying a lot coming from someone who judges hotels like I'm a Michelin star critic.
What's the deal with these "Unbelievable Hotel Deals"? Are we talking a catch? Where's the fine print?!
(Deep breath) Okay, deal paranoia, I get it. We've ALL been burned by those "too good to be true" offers. But with the Sarovār Inn, I'm pretty sure the catch is... there is no catch! Or at least, none that I found. I booked online – super easy, by the way, didn't even have to wrestle with a buggy website – and the price was genuinely shockingly low for the quality. I was half-expecting to arrive and find myself in a room the size of a shoebox, with a leaky tap and a view of a brick wall. Nope. Spacious room, spotless bathroom, and a view overlooking… well, a less exciting part of Ahmedabad, admittedly. But hey, for the price? I'm not complaining. The deals are legit, folks. Check them out, just be prepared for your own expectations to be, well... exceeded. Seriously, I keep checking their website thinking maybe they'll add a "secret surcharge" later, but nothing yet!
Okay, so the rooms are decent, but what about the food? I'm a foodie. I live to eat.
Foodie, huh? Alright, buckle up, buttercup. The restaurant… I wouldn’t say it’s Michelin-star worthy, but it's a solid performer. The breakfast buffet was FANTASTIC. I'm talking fluffy idlis, crispy dosas, and enough chutneys to make you weep with joy. Actually, I *did* almost weep when I ran out of the coconut chutney. Tragic, I tell you. But beyond the breakfast, the a-la-carte menu is diverse. I ordered the butter chicken one night and, honestly, it was better than some of the places I've tried in the city. Now, I'm not saying it's a *culinary revolution*, but it's definitely comforting. And the service? Impeccable. They were super attentive, even when I was, shall we say, a little… *enthusiastic* about the dessert options. Let’s just say I left feeling like I'd had an actual feast, and not just another hotel meal. Plus, the prices are shockingly reasonable. Score!
What about the amenities? Is there a pool? A gym? Do they have those tiny shampoos that I always manage to lose?
Pool? Yes! And it's a proper pool, not some glorified kiddie pool. It's clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing swim after a long day of... well, whatever it is you do in Ahmedabad. The gym? Yep, they've got a pretty decent one, with all the basic equipment. I even managed to (attempt to) work out without looking like a total fool. (Okay, maybe a *little* fool.) And yes, they do have those tiny shampoos! And the conditioner! And all the other assorted lotions and potions a person could need. They even have a little shop where you can buy essentials. I totally forgot my toothbrush so that seriously saved me! So, pretty much all the necessities covered. Plus, Free Wi-Fi, folks! Don't underestimate the power of good Wi-Fi!
How's the location? Is it easy to get to the touristy stuff?
Okay, here’s the reality check. The Sarovār Inn is *technically* in Narol, which isn't exactly smack-dab in the middle of Ahmedabad's historical centre. But it's not a death march to get anywhere. The taxi and rickshaw situation is readily available, and you should be able to find a car/bike within 10-15 minutes. Sure, it might take a while to get downtown during rush hour. But honestly, I found it a welcome relief from the constant hustle and bustle of the city. It’s close enough to the action, but far enough out that you can actually relax. Think of it as a strategic base camp for your Ahmedabad adventures. I think it offers a very fair trade-off. Plus, parking is free which, trust me, is a HUGE win in a city like Ahmedabad.
Is there anything… bad about it? Spill the tea!
Alright, alright, here's the slightly messy truth. No place is perfect, right? My first reaction was: a minor quibble, the lighting in my room was a little… dim. I mean, perfect if you want to meditate, but not ideal for, you know, actually *seeing* things. Second, once, the AC was a little slow to cool down. Like, annoyingly slow. And the surrounding neighborhood isn’t the most scenic view in the world. But honestly? That's about it. These aren't dealbreakers by any stretch of the imagination. I’m really scraping the bottom of the barrel here to find fault! The pluses *far* outweigh the very minor minuses. Let’s be real, even the fanciest hotels have their quirks, right? It’s about managing those expectations, and the Sarovār Inn definitely delivers on that front. And hey, even the "dim lighting" ended up being kind of… relaxing. I think my eyes needed a break from the bright lights!
Did you *really* enjoy it? Or are you just saying that?
Look, I'm a cynical travel writer. I've stayed in more hotels than I can count. And I'm not easily impressed. But the Sarovār Inn… it genuinely surprised me. I went in with low expectations, and I left feeling, well, pretty darn satisfied. The food was better than expected. The staff was friendly. The deals were real. The rooms were comfortable. And, most importantly, I felt like I was getting genuine value for my money. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Seriously. In fact, I'm already looking at booking another stay. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to check those "unbelievable deals" again… just in case. Because, honestly, a deal this good feels almost… wrong. But in the *best* possible way.
