Generally India first impression wasn't what we expected, especially when we got to Paharganj to find a place to sleep. We escaped from there as quickly as we could and got to Connought Place, were searching for reasonably priced place for couple of hourse and finally got to Hotel 55. The hotel, rooms and staff in general are OK. For... More

We have stayed at Hotel 55 on at least a dozen occasions and have never had any cause for complaint. The hotel is a budget hotel, superbly situated in the heart of New Delhi and people who want luxury should go elsewhere. The hotel is clean, the staff are efficient, really helpful and very friendly. They will order taxis, collect... More

Hotels listed in Lonely Planet either try harder to live up to the accolades or get arrogant, Hotel 55 falls into the later. Staff stayed up late talking and snaking outside of our door even after three request for them to be quiet. Rude staff, very little hot water. Rooms are dirty and run down.

My girlfriend and I have been travelling (backpacking around the world) for 7 months and the Hotel 55 was the most expensive and also the worst we have been. We stayed there because a Lonely Planet indication but the room has a dirty aspect, the bathroom is disgusting and the sheets and towels should be around 10 years old. There... More

Don't be put off by the entry. Unfortunately rebuilding of roads, facades etc in Connaught place for the Commonwealth Games made it a bit difficult to negotiate around. The rooms are clean although a little old, bathrooms are fine. It is the staff that make this hotel such a pleasant place to stay. Many of them have been there for... More

I am not sure if it is worth to stay into this hotel. I think it is too expensive for what it is. PROS Location CONS They ripped us off with the taxi cost coming from the airport, use the prepaid taxi when you arrive at the airport. Not really clean Noisy Forget about the restaurant

I don't know if it is the looming commonwealth games but the whole area around this hotel is 'under construction', which made getting to it (and even finding it) quite difficult, it also didn't feel very safe at night. Hotel staff were helpful, rooms were dodgy (run down and dusty) well overpriced, basically your paying for the city location.

It was a clean and economically priced hotel right on Connaught Place. Surprisingly quiet seeing as how we had a room next to the circle. Nothing fancy but great as a centrally located place as we came back through Delhi for one night on our way home.
