This was our first trip to India and our first stay in this hotel. To me it bore no resemblance to the lavish reviews I've read on this site, but it was clean and things worked. I was charged 700 rupees for a "complimentary" pickup from the airport, but I must blame myself as I had forgotten that the pickup was supposed to be free. The location is awful, but perhaps the rest of Delhi is like that (we only went from the airport to the hotel and back). There was also some problem with the online reservation payment gateway and if I hadn't checked the total would have paid about twice what I was supposed to. I don't know quite how to rate this hotel as I haven't seen others in Delhi, but I certainly don't think the hotel deserves the praise some reviewers have cast on it.

We spent 4 nights, in 2 stays, during March, in different rooms. The rooms are small, with little storage space, but clean, the bed firm but adequate. The air con worked but was noisy, the fridge didn't work. The bathroom is a 'wet room' so take your thongs/flip-flops, but there was hot water. The staff were friendly & helpful. Unless they already know where it is, taxis won't be able to find it - it's buried in the 'motor-cycle repair' section of the bazaar. But they will be able to find the gurdwara: the hotel is very close - if the gurdwara is on your LHS, turn R for 1 block, & vise versa. Alternatively, arrange for the hotel to send a car to meet you at the station or airport. The dining room on the top floor is not very attractive, although an Indian family had a birthday party there - good sign. Be careful of the food - my wife had a dose of salmonella 2 days after we left & is convinced it was from a re-heated veg biryani she had there. In summary, it's OK for an occasional night's stay, if you're prepared to live out of your suitcase, & it's inexpensive. For some reason they wouldn't take a CR card for payment but insisted on cash.

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Sri Nanak. I was in India for one month doing volunteer work and stayed at the hotel the entire time. The family that owns the hotel was very helpful and even gave us a deal because we stayed for such a long time. Anything we needed, they tried their best to get. The power went off about once a day, but luckily, the hotel had a generator that kicked on and kept the air conditioning and lights running. All the staff was very friendly and helped us out with what we needed in terms of directions. Really, this is a comfortable, friendly, Indian run place. They do what they can to make their guests happy and comfortable.

My partner and I arrived early in the morning. We had given them details of our flight by email couple of days before but nobody picked us up. Wasn't such a big deal as the pre-paid taxi was handy at the airport.

When we arrived, they didn't have any room for us and we believed it might have been some communication problem. We were totally exhausted, so we took their suggestion of staying in their staff's room for a few hours until one of their guests checked out later that morning. Reception guy was very polite, helpful and friendly.

Anyway, we believe that for the location and the quality of the suite we stayed, it was overpriced. We stayed our next nights at another hotel in Paharganj, half their price and a little higher quality!

I would recommend travellers to stay in Paharganj area, which is very close to metro station, much cheaper and more interesting!
