Chronicles of Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur grew around a Buddhist monastery (Gorakhnath Math) founded by the 12th-century saint Gorakhnath, later a stronghold of the Nath sect. Under the British, the railway arrived in 1885, turning the town into a major junction for the North Eastern Railway. Post-independence, rapid expansion swallowed villages; today it's a chaotic, thrumming city of over a million, known for its roadside chaat and as the political base of the Yogi Adityanath family.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Manas Continental, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor, away from lift and stairwell — less foot traffic noise and street rumble in a busy area like Gorakhpur.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the reception, restaurant, or kitchen — these tend to be noisier and may have cooking smells drifting in during meal times.
Best views
For a 3-star hotel, a room at the back or side of the building will have less traffic sound; front rooms may offer a busier view but lower peace.
Quietest floors
Higher floors are generally quieter — above the second floor you’re further from road noise, but check the lift works if mobility is an issue.
🔊 Noise notes
Gorakhpur roads can be busy day and night; ask for a room on the courtyard side if the hotel has one, or request double-glazing if available.
Insider tips
Book directly with the hotel — you can often request a specific quiet wing or upper floor and avoid booking platform middleman issues. Also, ask if breakfast is included and whether the buffet runs until later to skip the morning rush.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
