Good room service (basic breakfast: coffee/tea, bread & eggs served or other local delight upon request/order).close

The staff was very lazy, the chief tried to relieve us of our money, by entering one more null to the amount we should pay for accomodation (when we tried to pay by card).For sure we pay in cash in the end... It is to expensive for the services they offers you.

The airport pick up was on time and good. As two female travellers, we did not like the location. The travel agency next door was horrible and we felt extremely pressured to take an unsafe (through Srinigar) tour...which in the end we did not take. If you are staying at this hostel I suggest...

not really to be recommended as the airport pick-up (which was fine) is part of the sales effort of a nearby travel agency to "assist" in your travel arrangements in india; staff at the hotel does not give you the feeling of being welcome

The travel agent/hotel manager next will ask you to go there and fill out the hotel forms but no forms appear and the spiel starts. Keep and open mind though as what he provides is a pretty good service. We, at least, bought some of what he was offering and haven't regretted it yet. Make sure you get what you pay for though.close

There were bugs everywhere, no soap in the bathroom, and no towels were provided. This is not a home stay, it's an old hotel, that's false advertising. The only good thing I can say is that the AC is freezing cold.

Do not use the turist office next door (it has the same owners). They will give you wrong information about trains and busses, so that you will buy one of their package tours og rent a taxi instead through them.

My room was very clean, spacious, w/bathroom, closet, cable TV, AC. Mr. Ahmed was very helpful and helped me book trips around India at great prices. It was my first time traveling to India. The location of the hotel is very secure and as a young female traveling alone, I definitely recommend it. Also, is close to many popular places in Delhi. I'm currently in Srinagar staying in a beautiful houseboat, and then I will go to other places.close

Then I spent a week up in Srinagar where his family runs a houseboat. His Dad, Ali, tended to all my needs on the boat. A nearby golf course was spectacular as was a trip up the Himalayas. In all, the father, mother (a great cook) and four sons run a smooth operation both in Delhi and up in Srinagar.close

Had a roach in our room and were given no toilet paper until we asked. The water pressure was almost non-existent and we were up 4 flights of stairs!!!

The water pressure was almost non-existent and we were up 4 flights of stairs!!! Air condition worked well but the lock on the door was flimsy. Avoid the family affiliated Travel Agency Go India which is located next door as they charge extortionate prices for low quality tours and they also send you to other places you don't want to go and will try to sell you tours that are way over priced.close

Pickup from airport was very good and promt even at 03:30. Unfortunately we got talked into doing a guided tour that we didnt really want, which although was good and the driver was very pleasant and friendly took us off the backpacker trail completely. Recomended for those after organised tours round India but not for the independant or gap year traveller.close

They did give us free use of the phone to try and locate our luggage (Cathay Pacific were hiding it for us). It is 10-15 mins from (centre)Connaught Place in a Rickshaw. Taxes are added to the room and meal rates. Good clean and tidy rooms with quite helpful English speaking staff. They have their own travel agency.close

One can get tea or food at any time of the day. It was in an excellent location and I wouldn't hesitate to go again. There is a tourist company right next door which makes it easy to book trips. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I definitely plan on going back.close
