Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Bijoya, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request rooms on higher floors (above 5th floor) to minimize street noise from the main road outside the hotel. Furthermore, rooms on the south side (facing the Assam Legislative Assembly) might be less affected by street noise compared to rooms on the north side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, which are closer to the service entrance and may experience more noise from staff and delivery activity.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (above 5th floor) on the south side will have a view of the Assam Legislative Assembly and the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
Floors 5-10 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that higher floors are generally farther from the street and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on the main road in Guwahati means that street noise can be a concern, especially for rooms on lower floors and near the service entrance.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and a better view of the city. If you have time, explore the local markets and street food stalls near the hotel, which offer a great taste of Assamese cuisine.
- 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

N/A (airport not connected yet) → Uzan Bazar to Khanapara / Inter-State Bus Terminus
💡 The metro doesn't reach the airport or most guest houses in the old city. Use it only if your guest house is near Uzan Bazar station. Buy a token at the counter — no contactless payment yet. Avoid during rush hour (9–10 AM, 5–6 PM) — sardine-level.
Guwahati Airport (bus stop on main road, 200m from terminal) → Paltan Bazar / Pan Bazaar / Uzan Bazar
💡 Buses are cheap but cramped. Look for red-and-white ASTC buses — ask the conductor for 'Paltan'. No luggage space; you'll hold your bag. Best for light-pack travellers arriving daytime. Night arrivals: stick to taxi.
Anywhere in Guwahati (including airport) → Guest house or any local destination
💡 Ola/Uber works well in central areas, but surge pricing hits during rain or late night. At the airport, walk to the pick-up zone outside the arrival gate. Drivers often cancel short rides — book an Ola Mini for reliability. Cash-only for most drivers, but app shows fare.
Guwahati Airport (GAU) → Guest house in central Guwahati (e.g., Paltan Bazar, Uzan Bazar)
