Bikaner has a fairly wide selection of hotel accommodation to choose from – deluxe, standard, budget and paying guest. The most luxurious and well appointed is the heritage hotel, a converted palace belonging to the erstwhile maharaja. The RTDC also has its own tourist hotels and bungalows for the middle segment and the budget traveller. Private budget accommodation is also available in and around the Railway Station at modest prices, with fairly tolerable rooms and clean bathrooms. The tourist office can arrange paying guest accommodation in the city or outlying villages for those interested in home stays.
