Hotel for backpackers, good value for money (usd35 without breakfast)

Central location in Main Bizarre Shopping district and close to train station and walking distance to Metro. Staff friendly and helpful. Clean rooms and lobby. Traveling frequently to Delhi I have in the past used the hotel lobby as a comfortable space while shopping in the district even though not staying at the hotel and been welcome.

Doug, United States of America

I liked the style of the room, WiFi, hot water, staff, restaurant, and other facilities on site like the Ayurvedic massage,travel agency, & SIM card purchase. It was very convenient to be able to check in, get a SIM card, and schedule a quick massage all in 20 minutes. We also used their laundry service, and that was reasonably priced.

Jasmin, United States of America

This hotel need more dicrotions and change the beds also they must take care of clean all rooms and restaurants also the facility’s of services is poor

The location of this property is in the heart of the market yet the hotel is quite peaceful. The rooms are nice and they are currently updating the rooms on my trip so hopefully the next person staying here has fresh paint on the walls. The staff was able to correct any problems and the in-house restaurant has great views of the street below. Time spent watching the market function is time wel spent. One great advantage here is you can lock up the suitcase to travel lighter then gather it on your return.

Rooms were very clean and bathrooms were very well maintained. Very good value for money.

In spite of many Communications, the management failed to send a driver to pick me up at the airport. I waited over an hour, then got a prepaid taxi. It was the middle of the night, and I was exhausted, and there was much confusion around my reservation. Additionally, the rooms are far too overpriced for the quality.
The restaurant breakfast was very good. Dr. Jaggi now has an office on the 4th floor and provides massage.

There are major renovations being carried out at the hotel, we didn't realise this until we arrived. Having stayed in the same hotel 2 years before we had not expected places to be liberally covered in dust and to experience building noise but apart from that it was good.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful at all times. The food in the rooftop restaurant was very good.

Rooms were dark, damp and smelled of mould. The bathrooms were dirty, floors filthy and they provided a tiny single bar of soap. Little toilet paper provided and no toilet spray gun either. Super noisy place - both road noise, other guests and staff cleaning rooms with loud music going at 3am! Alterations underway and the racket was day and night! Wifi was poor. No tea, coffee or drinking water provided. Not a pleasant stay!

There were no toiletries and toilet paper in the bathroom, but we were provided with them as soon as we asked for it. The room had no window, which made it a little dark, but quiet.
The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The location is pretty nice on a busy street and there are several restaurants in the area to experience Indian cuisine, a good starting point for your Delhi experience.
