Hi,
I had been to bodhgaya in jan 09, the cheapest room i could search was one for 1500 including taxes and this was the worst room i had ever stayed in north. Bodhgaya is a costly place and rooms are expensive their.
Many members are recommending roots institute www.rootinstitute.com/

Fear not Pantelis! I know Bodhgaya well and it is an easy little town to get along in. The main street that runs from the market square in front of the Maha Bodi temple, the square itself and the left hand side of the whole street are lined with hotels and guesthouses. Avoid the big Mahayana Hotel, it is popular with Japanese and Tawanese pilgrims but is over priced and poorly run. At the bottom, the main street turns left. There is a Thai restaurant on the right. Walk on past the Bangladeshi Temple and turn left. The Thai temple will be on your right. This road is lined with reasonable hotels, the whole way up. I was there last December when the International Tipi Taka Chanting festival was being held with an extra 2000 pilgrims in town. The karmapa Lama was holding a festival there too, with all his followers, but we still found no trouble in getting rooms. I stayed at a place almost opposite the Thai temple in that side road. The first Hotel there is good, but expensive.The cheaper ones are a little way up. In my hotel I paid 300 rupees a night for an OK room (no frills).

About half way down the high street, is the Vishnu Cafe, you can't miss it,there are tables and chairs set outside. All the rickshaws hang out outside it. It is a popular place for tourists and pilgrims to hang out in the evenings to chat and exchange information. I got all my information there. Next to it, on the left as you face it, is a small hotel. I forget the name, they have an internet cafe on the ground floor and a car rental place (very reliable)this hotel is clean and safe and about 300 a night and that, I would say, is the norm for an economy room ,in Bodhgaya. I am away from home and do not have my name cards, so I can't give details. I am quite an anxious traveler, but I would not fear to turn up in Bodhgaya without a booking. However, I could always email my friend in Bodhgaya and get some details. That is, if 300 a night is what you would call OK. If you find cheaper than that, for heavens sake, tell me.

Yes please,do that,email your friend and get the details.I have already been 4 times in Bodhgaya but i would like to book in advance -in case of anything..I will carry my luggage so don't want to be anxious searching for a room carrying the luggage.I don't want to stay in a monastery compound since i am a smoker and smoking is prohibited in monastery guest houses

thanks a lot.

I stayed for a week in a lovely hotel, bargained for 400/night for a single room with bath, definitely worth more. Very clean, helpful and friendly. Breakfast rather expensive. I can't remember the name, even though I was there last winter (!), but its on Bodhgaya Rd, on the same side of the road as the Chinese temple. With the Chinese temple on your right, carry on along that road in the out of town direction, as it bends to the right. The hotel is on the right, near the museum. If you get to the Thai temple, you've gone too far.
