Udupi Railway Station Will Soon Have a Pod Hotel Similar to The One at Mumbai & Chennai Stations

Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd., Director (Operations and Commercial) Santhosh Kumar Jha said that the railway station in Udupi will soon have a pod hotel to cater to the moving population. The pod (capsule) hotel will be similar to the ones at Mumbai Central, Chennai Central, and other places. Once commissioned, the facility of Udupi will be the first in KRCL network.

The Director said tenders for the hotel as well as an executive lounge will be floated in the next three months. In contrast to regular hotels where a customer pays for 24 hours stay even if he or she stays for a few hours, a user has the option to pay for six, 12, or 18 hour. It will be spread over 3,000 sqft area with 50 pods. The executive lounge will have high cushioned sofa sets, television, armrest chairs, information display board, Wi-Fi and pantry.

While ₹399 is charged for three hours at the dormitory, the double-bed accommodation costs ₹700 for three hours. They are available for passengers travelling with advance reservation tickets.
