The Property — Subhash Bhawan
Subhash Bhawan is a functional, no-frills three-star hotel near Gorakhpur Junction railway station. The lobby feels like a clean, unpretentious transit lounge – polished floors, a reception desk with a computer, and a few chairs. It suits budget-conscious travellers, railway passengers on long layovers, or pilgrims heading to the Mahaparinirvan Temple in Kushinagar who need a dependable overnight stop. Don't expect character; expect a reliably air-conditioned room with a bed and a bathroom that works.
Chronicles of Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur grew around the Gorakhnath Math, a 12th-century monastery of the Nath Yogi sect founded by guru Gorakhnath. It became a district headquarters under the British Raj and a key railway junction in the 19th century. The city’s architecture is a utilitarian mix of colonial-era railway buildings, post-independence concrete blocks, and modern bright-painted shopfronts. Its contemporary identity is that of a religious and political hub, home to the Gorakhnath temple and the base of Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister. Culturally, it’s a gateway to Buddhist sites in Kushinagar and a centre for Bhojpuri folk music and theatre.
Best Time to Visit
Full Gorakhpur guide →Best months
November to February: cool, dry weather with daytime highs around 20–25°C, ideal for temple visits and exploring without extreme humidity. March is also pleasant before the heat builds.
Peak / festival surge
April to June are peak despite scorching heat (up to 42°C) because of summer breaks and the Ramnavami festival in April. Hotel prices can rise 20–30% during Ramnavami. The Gorakhpur Mahotsav in January also fills rooms.
Budget shoulder season
October and March: mild temperatures, minimal rain, and lower rates (often 15–20% off peak). Fewer tourists mean quieter temple visits. November is also a shoulder month but getting busy.
Weather & packing
Gorakhpur has extreme season swings: summer heat blasts through March–June, while monsoon (July–September) brings heavy rain and humidity. Pack only light cottons, a compact umbrella, waterproof sandals, and always carry a rehydration salts sachet.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Subhash Bhawan, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing away from the main road to reduce street noise. These mid-floors offer a good balance of accessibility via stairs and relative quiet, away from ground-level bustle and roof-top maintenance activity.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the first floor and those directly overlooking the street. First-floor rooms can pick up lobby and restaurant noise, while street-facing rooms suffer from honking and traffic throughout the day and night given Gorakhpur's busy roads.
Best views
A rear-facing room (away from the street) may offer a view of the surrounding neighbourhood or any garden area if present. Street views give you Gorakhpur's daily life but with significant traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are typically quieter at a hotel of this size, as they're above ground-floor public areas but below any roof-level equipment or service zones.
🔊 Noise notes
Gorakhpur has constant traffic noise from autorickshaws, buses, and honking. If the hotel shares a wall with a wedding hall or temple, expect early-morning or late-night sound. Check if there's a bar on the premises; if so, avoid rooms above it.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the third or fourth floor at check-in, mentioning you prefer quiet; the front desk can often oblige if available. If you have luggage, note that a 3-star may not have a lift—request a lower quiet floor (second or third) if stairs are a concern, but accept the trade-off of more noise.
- 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

Top Attractions in Gorakhpur
💡 Come early (before 7am) to avoid the heat and crowds. The park has free public toilets, but carry tissue. Great for a quiet read or a cheap lunch from nearby vendors.
💡 Visit early morning (around 5.30am) to see the morning aarti without heavy crowds. Shoes must be left at the entrance — there’s a free shoe counter.
💡 Best in late afternoon around 4pm — the light is good for photos, and the breeze picks up. Carry your own water; the few stalls nearby are pricey.
💡 Entry is just 10 rupees. Ask the curator for a quick guided tour — they’re often happy to tell stories. The museum is tiny; 30 minutes is enough. Combine with a visit to the main station to see the long platforms.
💡 Go on weekdays to avoid school groups. The ticket queue moves fast, but arrive before 10am to see animals active. Carry cash; card payments sometimes fail.
