The Property — A 545 Indira Nagar, Lucknow
A 545 Indira Nagar is a functional, mid-range hotel in a busy Lucknow neighbourhood. Think clean tiled floors, a modest lobby with a reception desk and a small seating area, and a lift that works most of the time. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a reliable base near the commercial strip of Indira Nagar, not a heritage experience. The vibe is practical, not decorative.
Chronicles of Lucknow
Lucknow, founded in the 13th century, rose to prominence as the seat of the Nawabs of Awadh in the 18th century. The Nawabs blended Mughal, Persian and European styles, creating the city’s distinctive architecture—the Bara Imambara with its bhool-bhulaiya (labyrinth), the Rumi Darwaza and a string of elegant gardens and mosques. After the British annexed Awadh in 1856, Lucknow became a key centre of the 1857 Rebellion, famously defended by both Indian sepoys and British loyalists. Today, it balances its nawabi legacy (chikan embroidery, kebabs, poetry) with the pace of a state capital and a growing IT and retail sector.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to A 545 Indira Nagar, Lucknow, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the rear courtyard away from Indira Nagar. These mid-level floors avoid street noise and have better ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the main road (Indira Nagar) on floors 1 or 2. Those pick up traffic hum from the busy street and are closer to the lobby/restaurant noise.
Best views

Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, farthest from the ground-level kitchen and street.
🔊 Noise notes
Indira Nagar is a busy commercial-residential road. Expect auto-rickshaw and scooter traffic from 7am to 10pm, especially on ground/basement floors.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, the hotel has limited parking; arrive before 6pm to secure a spot. 2) Ask at reception for a room not facing the lift — those near the service entry on floor 2 get kitchen clatter in the morning.
- 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
