Jump to:

This is a simple yet comfortable guesthouse, well-located in the center of Delhi. Its suburban location means you're within easy striking distance to all Delhi has to offer, and the hotel offers good value for money. All 16 rooms are unique in design and offer a comfortable stay. There's a large lounge with a good newspaper and book selection, plus a roof terrace for those looking to relax at the end of the day.

They have a selection of local hand-made handicrafts available and offer a delicious complimentary afternoon tea, serving an array of Indian teas, coffee and their homemade banana bread. We've found that the family and their helpers will make you feel very welcome during your stay.

Dinner can be arranged upon request, however please give the staff as much notice as possible. 

OUR OPINION:

A superb location and warm service combine to make this one of our preferred guesthouse stays in Delhi.
