This clean as a whistle guesthouse in Delhi was a delight to stay in. The decor was really easy on the eye too. Nice touches like a selection of books to read in the drawing room... Food was really tasty and served with affection. The set up is suited for tourists (on a more leisurely pace) rather than biz travellers.... More

Comfortable, homely, clean-with all the facilities and a wonderful staff, we had a very pleasant stay at Colonel's Retreat, Def Col, New Delhi on our way back home to Toronto from Delhi. The place tucked away in a quiet peaceful locality in the heart of Delhi was an added bonus. The lunch served to order was delicious and homely, in... More

We took our first trip to India in January and were very fortunate to have booked our stay in Delhi the the Colonel's retreat. The staff and the owner's were attentive, helpful and helped us make the most of the time we had in the capital. We were also provided with a packed lunch for our drive to Jaipur. We... More

After a poor experience on our first night in Delhi, we changed our last nights to the C.R. and what a godsend that turned out to be ! Firstly the place. Good rooms comfortable in a quiet location and a good place for first/last nights in Delhi. The breakfast on the roof top was good with Banana bread and pretty... More

If you need to stay in Delhi then look no further than the Colonel's... More

We stayed at Colonel's Retreat last October and again this year. The rooms are lovely, spacious and fresh and really clean. Coffee and tea makings, tv, air con etc. On our last night's stay we did not arrive from the airport until 1.00 am but the staff were there waiting for us and settled us into our rooms immediately. We... More

I have stayed in Delhi several times now and I can say without a doubt that the Colonel's Retreat was far and away the best experience I have had. The helpfulness of the staff and the attention to detail is amazing. The food (which is all cooked from scratch after you order it) is exceptionally good. If you enjoy coffee... More

If you hanker after the safe predictability of a five star international hotel then the Colonel's is not the place for you. If, however, you like to experience the lives of the people in the places you visit then this is fun. Set in the leafy green of a suburb devoted almost entirely to homes of the retired military, this... More

I've stayed in Colonel's Retreat twice and it's been wonderful both times. There's a very relaxed air around the place and it's incredibly quiet. The breakfast on the roof is simple but a great way to start the morning. The view from the terrace is excellent. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and have most amenities of bigger hotels. They're... More
