There are nice hotels in Ajodhya Hill Top - Hotel Niharika, Hotel Pariwar (Shikari Da)  - these two have been mentioned in the Tourplanner group. They have also mentioned that Hotel Niharika has good Restaurant. Hotel Niharika comes under CDAC (basically Government property - which can be booked online - https://wbcadc.com/tourism/ ). Moreover there is a youth Hostel - which can also be booked online (https://youthhostelbooking.wb.gov.in/pages/SearchAvailability.aspx ). Interestingly anybody can book Youth Hostel. I have personally visited Youth Hostel  - the location is very good and lacks maintenance. The AC Deluxe room @1500 is good. There is a kitchen also. It is near Kushal Palli.

The location of Niharika is good. I have seen Niharika from outside. They are all on Hill Top.

There are some high end hotels / resorts like Kushal Palli, Saffron Valley , Akash Hill Top, Kalyan Forest Resort. I have personally seen all of them from outside. They are all located at hill Top within a radius of around 1 Km approx.

If you have time then you can visit Panchet dam.
