Retiring Rooms are available in 1st Floor, Main Building.
You can book for Day Slot (7.00 to 19.00) or night slot (19.00 to 7.00). I have booked the room through IRCTC website. You can book the room only for confirmed or RAC tickets. Do book the room online, as it is very difficult get the room offline. All rooms were occupied even during weekdays.
Single / Double / AC / Non AC rooms are available.

have opted for Non AC double room as others were not available. Room was big and spacious. But it was an old building.
Bed was neat and clean. Bathroom condition was not good. Hot water was available in tap.

Fare for Non Ac Double Room : 385 + 20(Service Charge) = 405

Now online booking of retiring rooms available.Just contact the counter at first floor with the printed slip or sms,they will allocate your room.If you arrive mostly at the time mwntioned in the slip 7am,be prepared to wait for 20-30min as cleaning will be done.Nowadays it is hard to get retiring rooms without booking.
