About VSKP Retiring Room & Dormitory :
1. There is direct entry to VSKP retiring room section from the FOB at BZA end (If coming from PFs 2-8). Direction markings available. If coming from outside, instead of entering main entrance, move towards right, towards premium car parking. At the end you have another entrance (quite big one) to PF 1 and same is for retiring rooms with the counter situated there too.
2. After you arrive at the station, you have to get a slip made in your name at the...
more... counter situated below the retiring room (3 counters are there - PF ticket, enquiry & RR). On the slip you have to write your name & address and the person sitting will countersign it. Give that to the caretaker and now you are free to enter your booked accomodation.
3. In non ac dormitory, single beds (not in bunk style) are arranged in a hall just like hospital ward. Whereas in AC dormitory you get your own cubicle with the entrance to your bed guarded by a curtain, ensuring you get adequate privacy. Had it been door in place of curtains then it would have been private rooms.
3. The dormitories are clean including the washrooms and cleaning process goes on all the time during the day. During my stay from 1200 hrs to 0400 hrs , dormitory was cleaned 3-4 times.
4. You can bring your eatables in the dorm and eat there, no problem.
5. The switches for fans & lights are at entrance of dorm with switches mentioned like L1, F1 (for light &fan for dorm 1), L2, F2, and so on.
6. Cooling is adequate and adequate fans and lightings available. Room includes a bed, a locker, a charging point, and a set of 5 hooks for hanging clothes. Nothing else.
7. Last but not the least, be ready for the attendants (females) to come to ask for tips at the time of checkout. My checkout was early morning, so the came the previous evening itself.

1. There's a direct way to the VSKP retiring room from the FOB at BZA end (if you're coming from platforms 2-8). There are signs to guide you.

At the end, there's another entrance (a pretty big one) to platform 1 where the retiring rooms and the counter are located.
2. Once you arrive at the station, you have to get a slip made in your name at the counter below the retiring room (there are 3 counters - PF ticket, inquiry & RR). Write your name and address on the slip and the person at the counter will sign it. Give that slip to the caretaker and then you can enter your booked accommodation.
3. In the non-AC dormitory, single beds (not bunk style) are arranged in a hall, kinda like a hospital ward. In the AC dormitory, you get your own cubicle with a curtain guarding the entrance to your bed, making sure you have enough privacy. If they had doors instead of curtains, it would be private rooms.

5. The switches for the fans and lights are at the entrance of the dorm and they're labeled like L1, F1 (for light and fan in dorm 1), L2, F2, and so on.
