The retiring rooms & dormitories at Kathgodam railway station are way too good to be charging a meagre sum of money for the faciliies they offer.

I had stayed in the dormitory and it was just for Rs 95 (12 hours slot). I had very low expectations to begin with, but I had no other option since I had to catch an early train in the morning, so staying as close to the station as possible was preferable.

To my surprise, the beds were neat, clean & tidy, with proper arrangements for privacy of the individual. The linens provided were neatly washed too. There was also a common sitting area where sofas were kept if you wanted to sit for a while. The toilets and bathrooms were very hygienic as well.

Being a man of few words, I'm probably underselling the expereince here. I guess you would have to be there to believe it.

My advice is, book a retiring room at KGM blindly if you ever visit the place and are looking for a place to stay.

Dormitories/retiring rooms are located on the first floor and the entry (right side of the main entry gate) as well the registration desk (at the platform) are located on the periphery of concourse.

P.S. I couldn't take any photos since I arrived late at night and left very early in the morning.
