Delhi Cheap Hotels

Delhi has several world famous luxury hotels, many of which are close to the president's estate near the Central Ridge Reserve Forest. While some look directly out onto the teeming streets, others offer peaceful views across golf courses. Some are a legacy of the Raj and sport elegant Victorian architecture, with large, sumptuously decorated rooms that will make you feel like a king. Others benefit from dramatic modern styling with lots of glass and sensually curved interiors. As always, Delhi is a place where tradition and modernity collide to the benefit of both.

If you like to stay somewhere familiar, Delhi hotels include a Sheraton, a Hilton and a Marriott. You can expect the same high standards you'd enjoy anywhere else in the world. Many travelers find such surroundings reassuring in a city as challenging as this; it can be nice to relax in a familiar atmosphere before setting out to explore Delhi's exotic markets and museums. You'll find several hotels like these located in downtown Delhi within easy reach of metro stations.

If you're looking for cheaper accommodation in Delhi, there are a few things you need to be aware of. Because many people in India are used to a lower standard of living, you can't assume that cheap hotels will have the same services you're used to in the West. If you're in Delhi in summer you may find it very much worth your while to pay slightly higher rates for an air conditioned room. You can find attractive B&Bs and some youth hostels which provide all the basic facilities for prices which are very low by Western standards. Be aware that the cheapest accommodation may not have running water or indoor toilets, so think carefully about what you can cope with before you book.

It's now possible to book a wide range of places to stay in Delhi, including hostels, online, and this can be an excellent way to get discount rates. Careful planning will really pay off and ensure that you get maximum enjoyment from the long-standing Indian tradition of hospitality.
