Luxury Redefined: Escape to Hotel Czar Inn, Surat's Hidden Gem
Hotel Czar Inn, Surat: My Honest (and Slightly Disorganized) Take on Luxury
Okay, so I just got back from Hotel Czar Inn in Surat, and honestly? My head is still a little fuzzy from all the luxury. Seriously, this place is like they took a dream and turned it into bricks and mortar. But before you go thinking I'm just gushing, let me give you the real lowdown. Because, let's be real, even paradise has its quirks.
First Impression: Accessibility - Almost Nirvana?
Let's start with the good stuff. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I always pay attention to accessibility. And I was pleased to see Hotel Czar Inn seems to be seriously thinking about inclusive hospitality. Wheelchair accessible features are definitely peppered about, and the presence of an elevator is a definite plus. Now, I didn’t scrutinize every ramp and doorway, but the initial impression was promising. Facilities for disabled guests are actually listed! Big points for effort, folks! However… and there's always a "however," isn't there? I couldn't find much concrete info about the room accessibility itself. So, Czar Inn, if you’re reading this, please make your accessibility details clearer!
Cleanliness & Safety - A Breath of Fresh (and Sanitized) Air
Post-pandemic, safety is everything. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so I was watching for this like a hawk. And, holy moly, Hotel Czar Inn gets a gold star! Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? You betcha. Staff trained in safety protocols? Apparently, they even breathe safety protocols. I witnessed staff constantly cleaning high-touch surfaces. The rooms sanitized between stays were a huge relief, and the room sanitization opt-out option? Smart move! The hand sanitizer dispensers were everywhere (seriously, everywhere!), and the safe dining setup was well-executed – no crowded buffets, thank goodness. This felt genuinely safe, and it put my mind at ease, which is worth its weight in gold. I also loved the cashless payment service and sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Felt super safe!
Rooms - My Sanctuary (and Maybe Yours, Too)
Okay, the rooms. Swoon. Just… swoon. I'm trying to remember all the details. The air conditioning was glorious (Surat is HOT, people!). Blackout curtains gave me the best sleep in ages. Then there's stuff like the bathrobes (hello, ultimate comfort!), complimentary tea and coffee (essential!), and the in-room safe box (for those precious belongings).My room had a separate shower/bathtub which was actually amazing. They had some interesting room decorations too! My room had a small drawing and some flowers, I'm not sure if it was there every day, or if it was just a one-off. But, I liked it! The internet access – wireless was seamless, which is something I always value in a hotel Internet access – wireless. I mean, who wants to be tethered to a LAN cable in this day and age? I did notice though the internet access – LAN, but I think it's a good inclusion. I noticed the smoke detector as a good addition. The extra-long bed? Pure bliss. I was so comfy!! I wish I could have stayed longer!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Food Coma, Incoming!
Okay, the food. This is where things get really interesting. The breakfast [buffet] was, shall we say, extensive. I may have sampled everything. Okay, I definitely sampled everything (and then some). From the Asian breakfast staples to the Western breakfast classics, it was heaven. There's a vegetarian restaurant, not that I tried it. I spent most of my mealtime at the Buffet in restaurant, I'm not the biggest person for the a-la-carte menu! I spent a lot of my time at the Poolside bar though, I think that's where I had the most fun! I didn't get Breakfast in room because it was cheaper. I also loved the coffee/tea in restaurant The whole experience gets a massive thumbs up. The Snack bar was a lifesaver for late-night cravings.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Spa Day, Anyone?
This is where Czar Inn really shines. They've got the works! First of all, there's the spa/sauna. Oh. My. Goodness. I spent a glorious afternoon getting pampered. The massage was divine, and I almost melted into the sauna. They have a pool with a view too! Talk about Instagrammable! They had a steamroom too! I am not that big of a spa person. I'm more of a walking around type of person, I mostly spent my time in the Swimming pool [outdoor]. They had a Fitness center that looked pretty well-equipped, I didn't use it because I was too tired, but if you're the type of person who likes to do that, then you'll be happy!
Services and Conveniences - They Thought of Everything (Almost)
The concierge service was brilliant. They helped me with everything, even finding a good place to buy some local sweets to take home. The daily housekeeping was impeccable – my room was spotless every single day. Daily housekeeping is super important. The currency exchange was also helpful. Very nice! They also offer food delivery to the room, which I may or may not have abused a couple of times. The laundry service was a lifesaver, and the car park [free of charge] was a huge bonus. The elevator was a huge plus. The front desk [24-hour] was also appreciated. Very convenient.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy
I didn’t rent a car, but the car park [on-site] was readily available. They also have a taxi service and airport transfer.
The Quirks and the Imperfections (Because Nobody's Perfect)
Okay, so here's where I get real. While everything was generally fantastic, there were a few minor bumps. The signage could be a little clearer in places; I wandered around a bit trying to find the gym. And sometimes, the staff seemed a little overwhelmed, especially during peak breakfast hours. But honestly, these were tiny annoyances that barely registered on the Richter scale of relaxation.
Overall Impression: Highly Recommended (with a few caveats)
Hotel Czar Inn is a fantastic place to stay. It's comfortable, luxurious, safe, and the staff, despite being a bit flustered at times, are genuinely lovely. If you're looking for a high-end experience in Surat, this is definitely a contender.

Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Secrets of Baan Phuttarak, Koh Samui
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this itinerary ain't gonna be your sanitized, Instagram-filtered travel brochure. We're going to Surat, India, and we're getting real. This is less "planned adventure" and more "controlled chaos with a comfy hotel bed." Hotel Czar Inn, prepare for… well, this.
Surat Swirl: A Diary of Discombobulation (and Deliciousness)
Day 1: Arrival and Arrival-Induced Anxiety
Morning (or what I optimistically call "morning"):
- 6:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Or, more accurately, be violently ejected from sleep thanks to my internal clock, which apparently thinks three hours of sleep is a perfectly reasonable amount. Panic-pack. Did I remember to bring the anti-diarrheal? Crucial stuff, people, crucial.
- 7:00 AM: Taxi to airport. The driver, bless his heart, seemed convinced we were late. We weren't. I just have a deeply ingrained fear of missing anything, which is probably why I'm traveling in the first place.
- 8:00 AM: Airport chaos. Security is a whole other level of… thorough. Successfully navigated the maze of passport control. Relieved. Maybe I will survive this after all.
- 11:00 AM (Flight): Reached Surat. The weather is… well, warm. Very warm. Like, "instant sweat-through-your-shirt" warm. The flight was "uneventful" except for the screaming baby three rows back. Note to self: invest in noise-canceling headphones. Big time.
Afternoon:
- 12:30 PM: Hotel Czar Inn! Check-in: Relatively painless. The lobby is… ornate. Like, really, really ornate. Gold accents everywhere. Okay, I can dig it. Room, as I suspected, also ornate. Feeling the jet lag set in. But hey, AC!
- 1:30 PM: Lunch at Swati Snacks. Recommended. The food here is so flavorful, so vibrant, that it completely zapped the fatigue. I'm talking about the dhabeli, which is a potato-based dish, and it was like an explosion of flavour. Honestly, if they bottled that sauce, I’d buy it by the gallon.
- 3:00 PM: Nap attempt. Failed. Too much sun, too much noise, the weird hum of the AC. Instead, I stared at the ceiling fan, which was surprisingly beautiful. It might seem a small thing, but it was intricately carved. This hotel knows how to do its thing.
- 4:00 PM: Walk. Needed fresh air. Walked to the market nearby. Stalls spilling with everything. Sights, sounds, smells… overload! Felt more like a sensory assault than a pleasant stroll. Almost got run over by a scooter – twice. Learned to look both ways… and anticipate a scooter coming from every direction.
- 5:00 PM: Tea break at a local chai-wallah. The chai was fantastic, the people-watching even better. Learned that a smile goes a long way, even if you can barely speak the language.
- 6:00 PM: Back to Hotel Czar Inn. Collapse on the bed. Exhausted, but strangely… exhilarated? I'm not sure I like Surat, but it's definitely interesting.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Samosas. More chai. Realized that the hotel staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. And, oh my god, the naan. Literally the best naan I’ve ever tasted. If I die here, I want to be buried in naan.
Evening:
- 8:00 PM: Trying to make plans. Trying. Succeeded.
- 9:00 PM: Bed. Exhausted. Sleep or not. No plan.
Day 2: Textile Town and Taste Bud Triumph
Morning:
- 7:00 AM: Actually woke up somewhat refreshed! (Miracle!). Breakfast at the hotel: idli sambhar. Perfect.
- 8:00 AM: Hired a rickshaw to the textile market. Brace yourself. It's BIG. Like, "wear sensible shoes" big. Like, "lose your mind with the sheer variety of fabric" big.
- 9:00 AM: Textile market: Lost. Found. Lost again. Negotiated my way through a sea of vibrant colors and pushy salespeople. Bought way more fabric than I'll ever be able to use. But it's beautiful! I can't help it!
- 11:00 AM: Coffee break. Needed it. My brain was starting to short-circuit from the sensory overload.
- 11.30 AM: Visited Sardar Patel Museum. It was… okay. The exhibits are a little dated. But still good to get some perspective on Surat and the history.
Afternoon:
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a street food stand. Had something I think was called pav bhaji. It was delicious. Then realized I couldn't remember what I ate for lunch the day before. This is going to be a problem.
- 2:00 PM: More wandering. Trying to find a specific shop recommended to me by a friend, got lost. Again. Started to panic that I would be stuck on the same circuit. I tried to embrace it and just enjoyed the colors and the chaos.
- 3:00 PM: The shop! Found it. Not what I expected, but whatever. Buying a souvenir.
- 4:00 PM: Decided to go to a local sweet shop. Overwhelmed by the sugary delights. Bought way too much. Regret? Maybe later.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the Czar Inn for some rest.
Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Went to a restaurant. The food was good, but I was more interested in talking. The people I went with were fantastic.
- 9:00 PM: Trying to sleep.
Day 3: A Day of Contemplation and Curry
Morning:
- 8:00 AM: Woke up. No jet lag anymore! Yay!
- 10:00 AM. Breakfast at the hotel.
- 11:00: This is going to sound stupid, but I went to the ISKCON temple. Just to get away from the city. Soothing.
Afternoon
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Tried to order a dish I loved yesterday. Failed. Ended up with something else equally delicious. Surat is winning me over.
- 2:00 PM: Went for a spa appointment at the hotel. Needed some rest. It was divine. I almost cried.
- 4:00 PM: Some shopping at mall.
Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Had dinner at the best Indian restaurant of my life. The curry was out of this world.
Day 4: Departure and Deep Down Regret
- Morning:
- 7:00 AM: Packed. Again. This time for real.
- 8:00 AM: One last hotel breakfast. Sigh. I'm actually going to miss the food.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Said goodbye to the incredibly helpful staff.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport.
- Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM: Left.
- 1:00 PM: Feeling sad.
Ramblings and Regrets:
- Surat is a city that keeps you on your toes. It's loud, it's vibrant, and it's sometimes overwhelming. But it’s also incredibly kind, and the food is a revelation. It’s a place that gets under your skin.
- Should have learned more Hindi .
- I’m already planning my next trip.
This is by no means a polished itinerary. It’s more like a messy, delicious, and utterly human reflection of my time in Surat. Hope you enjoy it. Now go forth and… get lost (and maybe grab some pav bhaji while you're at it).
