Delhi - airport hotel

vaclav · Sep 3rd, 2005, 19:20

Hi. I am flying from Varanasi to Jodhpur and have to stopover at Delhi (from 4 p.m. to noon next day). I guess it makes no sense to go to Paharganj to a cheap hotel and pay for taxis. So, could anybody recommend any hotel close to the Delhi Domestic Airport to stay for a night?

I have did some search and found some hotels at Mahipalpur. The cheapest seems to be the "International Inn Airport Hotel" and "The Rblues Airport Hotel", both for about 550 INR per double. Any experience regarding these hotels? Or do you have any other suggestions?

How much would be the price for taxi from Domestic Airport to these hotels - it should be a 5-minute drive? Should I take a pre-paid taxi even for this short drive.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi, If you look at Hotels and Lodgings section and then under Delhi - you'll find an absolute MASS of lodgings that have been tried and tested - also some that haven't. The nearer to the Airport usually the more expensive - and I would probably suggest a pre-paid taxi or why not an Auto - 5 minutes is not very far and it'll be a lot cheaper than a taxi.

Since you are arriving in the day time, there is also the option of taking the inexpensive EATS bus (run by ex-servicemen) and getting off at the New Delhi RR station stop as an alternative to a taxi. I don't have the details as to current price and frequency, but it was mentioned in a recent thread -- perhaps someone who has used the service recently can comment.
