Key takeaways
- Trip.com labels Hotel Atharva 3-star and lists 118 rooms; the hotel website gives no room total.
- It sits near Jantar Mantar on the Mahakal-Harsiddhi bypass road; the hotel says Mahakal is '8 min' away.
- Sources disagree on check-in and check-out times, so confirm them with the hotel.
- No official rate is published; Trip.com's listed average was INR 5,201, undated.
- Our earlier card's 42-room figure conflicts with Trip.com and should not be relied on.
Hotel Atharva Ujjain is a hotel that Trip.com labels 3-star, on the Mahakal-Harsiddhi bypass road beside Jantar Mantar. Its own website lists a vegetarian-focus Modak Restaurant, banquet halls, complimentary breakfast and parking. Room count and distance to Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga vary by source, so confirm both before you book.
This page puts the hotel website, Trip.com, the Ujjain district portal and our own earlier card side by side. All figures were checked on 5 October 2026 and can change. If you are still choosing, compare the wider list of mid-range hotels in Ujjain. We have not stayed here, and nothing below is a first-hand review.
Hotel Atharva Ujjain at a glance
Hotel Atharva sits near the Jantar Mantar observatory on the Mahakal-Harsiddhi bypass road in Ujjain. The hotel website and the Ujjain district portal agree on that address, but they print different postal codes. The table shows what each source says and where the fact came from.
| Fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Address | Near Jantar Mantar, Mahakal-Harsiddhi bypass road, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh | Hotel website; Ujjain district portal |
| PIN code | 456010 on the hotel website and Trip.com; 456001 on the district portal | Hotel website, Trip.com, district portal |
| Star label | 3-star | Trip.com (the hotel website calls itself a luxury hotel) |
| Rooms | 118 rooms (Trip.com); the hotel website gives no total | Trip.com, ixigo search snippet |
| Check-in / check-out | 11:00 / 11:00 (hotel); 12:00-14:00 / 10:00-10:30 (Trip.com) | Hotel website, Trip.com |
| Dining | Modak Restaurant, vegetarian focus | Hotel website |
| Other facilities | Banquet halls, complimentary breakfast, parking | Hotel website |
| Guest score | 7.7 out of 10 from 105 reviews | Trip.com |
A star label is a platform tag, not an official classification we can show you. Judge the hotel by its facilities, the room sizes below and the rate you are offered.
Location: next to Jantar Mantar on the Mahakal-Harsiddhi road
The hotel places itself near Jantar Mantar, the observatory on the same road, which gives you a fixed point to navigate by. Wikipedia describes the Vedh Shala observatory as built in 1725 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, rebuilt in 1974 and restored in 1982, with 13 instruments.
What is within a few hundred metres
Trip.com lists the following distances from the hotel. They are the platform's own figures, so treat them as a guide for planning a walk rather than an exact measurement.
| Place | Distance (Trip.com) |
|---|---|
| Shree Shani Shaktipeeth | 330 m |
| Vikramaditya Vedic Clock | 450 m |
| Jantar Mantar | 470 m |
| Yantra Mahal | 500 m |
| Ujjain Junction railway station | 2.86 km |
| Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport (Indore) | 56.99 km |
Nothing in this list is a measured walking route. A few hundred metres on a map can be longer on foot if a road is divided or a lane is closed, so ask the front desk how guests usually walk to the Jantar Mantar gate.
Distance to Mahakal, the station and the airport
The hotel website says Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga is "8 min" away; it does not say whether that is by foot or by vehicle, or give a distance in kilometres. Trip.com does not list a distance to the temple at all. Our own earlier card said 800 m, but we could not confirm that figure from any source we read, so we are not repeating it as fact. Mahakaleshwar is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, and darshan queues and entry rules change often, so check the official temple site before planning the day around any distance.
For arrival, Trip.com puts Ujjain Junction at 2.86 km. The airport figure of 56.99 km refers to Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport in Indore, the airport used for Ujjain. Allow road time on top of the kilometres, because that route runs through city and highway traffic.
Rooms and room types
The hotel website lists three room names with sizes, while Trip.com lists different category names. Both lists can be true at once, since an OTA often renames the same room, but we cannot match them one-to-one from public pages.
| Source | Room types named | Size or occupancy given |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel website | Atharva Suites | 95 sq ft as printed; this looks small for a suite, so ask the hotel to confirm the figure and the unit |
| Hotel website | Executive Room | 312 sq ft, 2 adults |
| Hotel website | Deluxe Room | 288 sq ft, 2 adults |
| Trip.com | Super Executive, Luxury, Super Deluxe, Executive Superior, plus one more type | No sizes in the summary we read |
What the hotel lists
The Executive Room is the larger of the two named standard rooms at 312 sq ft against 288 sq ft for the Deluxe Room, and both are described for two adults. If you travel as a family, ask before booking whether an extra bed is possible, because neither source states a bed policy we can quote.
What Trip.com lists
Trip.com reports a 118-room property and welcomes children from age 1, while pets are not allowed. A 118-room figure also appears in an ixigo search snippet that mentions seven floors, though ixigo itself would not load for us, so we treat that as supporting rather than confirmed.
Amenities: restaurant, banquet, parking
The two main sources broadly agree on amenities, with a few differences in wording.
- Restaurant: the hotel website describes Modak Restaurant with a vegetarian focus, and Trip.com also lists a Modak restaurant. Ask about food outside the vegetarian menu if that matters to your group.
- Breakfast: the hotel website says breakfast is complimentary. Confirm on the rate you book, since OTA rates are sometimes room-only.
- Banquets and meetings: the hotel website lists banquet halls, and Trip.com lists a conference room. Neither gives capacities, so ask for them in writing if you are planning an event.
- Parking: free parking is listed by Trip.com and parking is listed by the hotel.
- Wi-Fi: Trip.com says Wi-Fi in public areas. The hotel website does not state a Wi-Fi policy in its own facility list; the only mention we found is a guest testimonial on that site saying "free wifi". Ask if you need a working connection in the room.
- Other services: Trip.com also lists a garden, laundry, luggage storage and taxi booking.
Price: what the sources show
The hotel website publishes no room rate that we could find. The only figure on a public page is Trip.com's listed average of INR 5,201, which is undated, so read it as the average Trip.com showed on 5 October 2026 and not as a tariff. Our earlier card listed INR 2,000 to 5,000 and was last updated on 28 March 2026. Because the two ranges overlap but differ at the top, neither is a quote.
| Source | Figure shown | Date or status |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel website | No rate published | Seen 5 Oct 2026 |
| Trip.com | Average INR 5,201 | Undated; seen 5 Oct 2026 |
| Our earlier card | INR 2,000-5,000 | Last updated 28 Mar 2026 |
Prices at hotels near Mahakal move with festival dates, weekends and crowd forecasts. For a view of how Ujjain rates behave over a year, see our Ujjain hotel price guide. When you ask for a rate, ask what taxes, breakfast and extra-person charges are included. Booking.com and other platforms may show a different figure on the same day, so compare at least two.
Where the sources disagree
Four public descriptions of one hotel rarely match line by line. The table below lists the conflicts so you can ask the right questions. We have not picked a winner where public pages do not allow it.
| Item | Hotel website | Trip.com | Our earlier card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total rooms | Not stated | 118 | 42 AC rooms |
| Check-in | 11:00 | 12:00-14:00 | Not stated |
| Check-out | 11:00 | 10:00-10:30 | Not stated |
| Guest score | Not stated | 7.7/10 from 105 reviews | 4.1/5 from 3,218 Google reviews |
| Distance to Mahakal | "8 min" | Not listed | 800 m |
| PIN code | 456010 | 456010 | Not stated |
The room count is the biggest gap. Our own card said 42 rooms, while Trip.com says 118. We cannot tell which figure is right and the card is being re-checked, so treat the room total as unconfirmed and ask the hotel. You can still see that older Hotel Atharva quick card for the basic details. Scores from different platforms are also not comparable, because each uses its own scale and review pool.
The district portal adds a small point of its own. It lists Hotel Atharva under accommodation with a short address and PIN 456001 and no star, room or amenity details; you can see the entry on the Ujjain district accommodation directory. A postal code mismatch like this is usually harmless, but quote the full address when you book a taxi.
Who Hotel Atharva suits and alternatives
These points are our reading of the listed facts, not a review. The hotel may suit you if you want a base near Jantar Mantar with a restaurant on site, complimentary breakfast and parking, and if the group wants banquet space for a small function. The Trip.com note that children from age 1 are welcome helps families, but Trip.com's no-pets rule is a problem if you are travelling with a dog. The hotel website's facility icons include "Pet Friendly", so the two sources conflict; confirm with the hotel.
It may suit you less if you need a fixed, published rate before you decide, if you rely on non-vegetarian food in the hotel restaurant, or if you want a measured walking distance to Mahakaleshwar, because the public sources do not give one.
Before you pay, send the hotel four questions and keep the replies: what total the quoted rate includes, whether breakfast and taxes are in it, which check-in time applies to your booking, and how the front desk would route you on foot to Jantar Mantar. Those four answers settle most of the conflicts in the table above.
If distance to the temple is your first filter, start with our hotels near Mahakal Temple list. For a wider comparison of areas, price bands and trip types, read where to stay in Ujjain.
