3-star hotels in Bikaner
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Bikaner, drawn from guest ratings and facilities, for travellers who want a heritage stay, a resort with a pool, or a simple base near the old city or the railway station.
Staying in Bikaner
Bikaner is a desert city in Rajasthan, known for Junagarh Fort, Lalgarh Palace, the National Research Centre on Camel and its bhujia snack. The walled old city around Kote Gate is the historic core, close to the fort and the main bazaars, while Civil Lines is quieter and greener, within walking distance of Lalgarh Palace and the Rajasthan State Archives. Gajner Road heads southwest towards Gajner Palace and the desert.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in several parts of the city. Maharaja Ganga Mahal, Hotel Bharat Palace and OYO Rooms Suraj Talkies Rani Bazar are close to the centre, within 1 km. Bhanwar Niwas on Rampuria Street, Hotel Sagar in the Lalgarh Palace Campus and Karni Bhawan Palace in Gandhi Nagar lie 2.4 to 4.5 km out. Gajner Palace Heritage, Marudyan Resort and Heritage Resort Bikaner are furthest, 8.7 to 28 km away. Couples and short-break visitors tend to favour the central and heritage properties; families and business travellers have more room at the resorts with pools and larger grounds.
