Bhopal Railway Station is set to unveil its first pod hotel on April 4, offering a modern, budget-friendly accommodation option for travelers. Located near Platform No. 6 on the first floor of the new building, the facility will feature 20 family pods and 118 single-bed pods designed to provide comfort and convenience for short stays.
The pods are compact yet well-equipped, with single-bed pods measuring 5 feet by 7 feet and family pods spacious enough to accommodate a couple and two children. Rentals will start at just ₹299 per hour, catering to passengers waiting for connecting trains or seeking a comfortable rest during layovers.
Each pod boasts amenities such as air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed with pillows, and a TV for entertainment. Additional features include makeup mirrors, charging points for electronic devices, and a well-equipped firefighting system. Clean, separate toilets for men and women, hot water geysers, secure lockers, and a luggage room ensure a hassle-free stay.
According to Senior DCM Saurabh Kataria, final preparations are underway, with last-minute arrangements being made to ensure a seamless launch. Kataria noted that the official inauguration date and a detailed pricing structure will soon be announced.
The pod hotel, a project years in the making, represents a significant step toward enhancing travel convenience at Bhopal Railway Station. Travelers will soon be able to enjoy an affordable, comfortable, and secure resting space, redefining the station’s hospitality standards.
