Enroute home I had some dead time in Delhi on August 1. As I was travelling with two young kids, some decent lodging to have a nap and shower, was imperative. I booked this hotel by directly contacting the property through email. They offered me a room for INR 1500 for 8 hours, everything included except transfer. I thought INR 1500 was not a bad deal and thus consented to the offer.
The room was clean and worth its price.
Bathroom was of good standard to be a budget hotel in India, toiletries of acceptable quality.
Wifi was ok.
As far as location is considered, it all depends upon what you are looking for. If you are out to enjoy the true hustle bustle of India, it is a perfect choice … congested, mainstream India with all its salient features. But if you are allergic of crowd, hullaballoo and wanted to have something silent and calm, avoid this hotel … rather avoid the locality Karol Bagh altogether.
The hotel asks for INR 700 for a taxi to the airport, which is quite unreasonable. Air-conditioned radio taxi would cost at the most INR 450.
Of course, there are much better alternatives. However, in short, I would recommend this hotel if you are looking something in this price class.
A general tip: Try as far as practically possible, have your deals in writing, explicitly mentioning what it includes and what it doesn’t. Otherwise, you will be bitterly surprised at the end.
