ashley7070 · Oct 23rd, 2009, 06:22

Hi everyone, I am coming to Delhi next week and I wanted to book Ginger Hotel but it was unfortunately been booked out. I want to stay near Connaught Place.

Can you please recommend a hotel as I need to book one asap.

Thank you very much.

Hotel Prince Polonia is in Paharganj, but is nicer than the usual budget options:

Ananda Hotel is in Karol Bagh, right next to the metro, which will get you to Connaught Place easily:

Thanks for this. Ananda seems nice, reviews on tripadvisor do not look so good though. I am looking to book it but the website is not straight forward.

Booking by email and online booking don't seem as straightforward in India as you might be used to.

You'll find it far easier just to pick up the phone and speak to someone in person.

In the UK we have many companies who give you a number to dial before dialling the foreign number, they give you amazing call rates, typically less than Rs 1 per minute for phoning India! Perhaps you have something similar?

You could probably try the YMCA Tourist Hotel in Delhi.

Yes, if phone call price is an issue - I use Reliance, for all calls to India, via the method described by Haylo, here in the US; it really completely above-acceptable quality; ask and I'll give the contact data.

For backpacker level of pricing for phonecalls, there's always Skype; apart from free PC-to-PC calls, one can also do PC-to-phone calls for a very very cheap price; I've read a blog, paki nuttah where she uses Skype, from internet cafes, to discuss ( well harangue, IMO

) visa issues with Embassy staff - given the importance of the discussion, I can't imagine that the quality is bad.

I'm not being mean about backpacker's low funding ability; heck I was there myself once-upon-a-time, so I sort-of relate.

I generally book all my hotels via email or a website and have never had a problem. (I arranged my previous room with Ananda via email.)

Ananda Hotel just replied to my email so its all good. Thanks guys.

By the way, how do I identify the easy cabs prepaid booths at the airport. I heard they are the official taxi in delhi?
