This is our Best Value pick for New Delhi. The full listed name is Hotel Ajanta - Colonial Charm Award Winning Luxury Hotel in the Heart of the City. That is how the property names itself. We have not verified any award, and its rating is 3 stars, so do not read the name as a luxury promise.
It suits travellers arriving or leaving by train, people on a tight budget and families, since family rooms are listed. Staff help with travel arrangements, according to guests. Skip it if you want a pool, spa or gym, as none is listed. Skip it too if surprise fees would spoil your trip.
Location and getting around
The address is 8647, Arakashan Road (500 meter from New Delhi Railway Station), in Paharganj. Guests say the station and metro connections are within walking distance, and rate the location 8.6 out of 10.
Jama Masjid, Delhi, is 1.7 km away, about 21 minutes on foot. India Gate is 3.8 km (about 48 minutes) and Humayun's tomb 6.7 km (about 84 minutes). These are straight-line estimates. India Gate and Humayun's tomb are far, so use the metro, a taxi or another ride. Parking is not listed in our data.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 2,033 reviews, a large and steady base. Two points come up. The team is called friendly, professional and helpful, especially with travel plans. The other plus is how close the hotel is to the railway station and the metro.
On the downside, guests find the rates reasonable but some report unexpected extra charges. We have not assessed room size, noise or renovation condition, so read recent reviews for your room type.
