Hotels are dime a dozen in this Karol Bagh location and there are plenty of better choices that are in the same price range around this area (ie. Saar Inn).

When i stayed here we paid about 47usd (through agoda) a night but so many things went awry:
1. hot water wasn't working= cold shower + no one really tried to fix the problem! However, they did suggest we change rooms because they said it was broken from the beginning. I then asked them why they didn't check the room before allowing someone to stay there? Common sense.
2. an electrical socket broke so the heat was on and off until they fixed it
3. electricity was off and on all night thus wifi was on and off
4. breakfast was really bad and being someone that loves breakfast, i was offended/annoyed
5. They were charing 600ruppes for airport transfer when it's actually around 350ruppes (says the travel agent i went with in the end right down the street)
6. decor was abysmal (although that has little impact on my review, I'm just saying....)
I checked out early because there were too many things that were going wrong in 1 night. I stayed at Saar Inn and it's a similar price but much better.

Location is very close to subway stop Karol Bagh and can get to old delhi (red fort, spice market) easily (few stops away). Subway is much better than getting a car...Delhi traffic is nauseating.

*You can actually just get rooms with a travel agent all around the area, they can actually negotiate better prices for you than booking aboard on websites (if you are open for that kind of approach).

If you're looking for a budget hotel in Karol Bagh area, I would recommend the Suncourt Hotel Yatri. While it's definitely not luxurious, it offers all the services many travellers want, eg, room service, minibar, free wifi, tourist advice, taxi, breakfast, hundreds of tv channels, etc.

Some positives:

- All staff were VERY helpful and friendly

- My room was clean, and relatively large for 3-star hotel

- Free wifi

Some negatives:

- Bedding: Mattress and pillows were very hard. And the one sheet was not enough to keep me warm. So I slept poorly.

-My room had a stench of mothballs. I got rid of this by opening the windows, but then the street noise became quite loud.

But if you're willing put up with these small inconveniences in order to save a few rupees, then this hotel is a good option.

This was our first stay in Delhi (21-25th Jan), and we were a little apprehensive about what we would find....
Our worries were misplaced with this Hotel though. For a charge of 650 Rupees we were collected from the airport which was great as I had heard stories or many Hotels offering this service and not turning up! We were in room 303 which was a pleasant room with a very comfortable bed, hot water and a great range of channels on the satellite TV. The Staff were very hospitable and helpful and the food was great - we especially liked the Malai Kofta & Makhani Dhal. Breakfast was Buffet style and room service 24hrs. The location just slightly away from the centre was fairly peaceful, For Delhi, and is ideally placed for the Metro. Free Wi-Fi and internet access was also useful.

We booked the first 3 nights in Delhi at the Sun Court Yatri after seeing some positive reviews on line. We got there at 4am and the concierge allowed us for a very early check in, which was nice of him, however the room we were given on the ground floor was extremely humid, the bed sheets damp and the window gave to a side street where dogs gathered to bark furiously at each other and car fumes made it impossible to keep it open to air the room. Bathroom was ok, the hot water took a bit to come out and it was positioned in such a way that towels could get wet very easily. After spending 1 and half nights in the “swamp” we were finally moved to a room on the third floor much bigger and brighter and above all, less humid than the first but still cold. We stayed there at the end of December and temperatures are lower so make sure you ask for a heater. This room was better but there were holes in the bathroom and drafts coming from the outside wall where the AC was placed. The breakfast room is on the lower ground floor and it looks kind of morgueish with the neon lights and the tables scattered around in random order. The terrace restaurant is quite a nice surprise, with a nice view of the neighborhood from the top floor. The food was not bad, we had chana dal and some eggs, but it was tasty and freshly prepared. Overall the SCY is an ok place to stay, provided you get a room on an upper floors, but this seem to be the case all over India. Staff was nice although a bit pushy for tips, also the day we checked out they ran to the room to make sure we were not leaving without paying for snacks or drinks. We actually forgot two clementines in the room. Internet is free of charge even though it’s not always working and staff tend to stand right behind you to see what you’re looking up on the web. They’re just curious, be polite and ask for some privacy. Given a choice I probably would not go stay there again, cause I got sick from the first two days spent in the swamp room, but I am sure there are far worst places in Delhi than the SCY.
