Prayagraj city has many hotels, and staying close to the Sangam enhances the spiritual experience. Near the Ghats (like Qila Ghat, Saraswati Ghat, Ram Ghat) and in areas like Daraganj, you will find:
Numerous Dharamshalas and Ashrams: Run by various religious communities and trusts, offering basic but clean lodging at very nominal costs. These are often the preferred choice for pilgrims focused solely on rituals.
Panda Accommodations: Some Prayagwal Pandas offer lodging facilities (sometimes basic rooms within their homes or dedicated guest areas) for the families (Yajmans) they serve. This can be convenient as they guide you through all rituals.
Budget Guesthouses: Plentiful in the lanes leading to the ghats, offering simple private rooms.
Tented Cities: During major events like Magh Mela or Kumbh Mela, vast tented cities are erected near the Sangam, providing temporary accommodation of various comfort levels.
Booking in advance, especially during peak times like Pitru Paksha or Magh Mela, is highly recommended
