Storytelling
Pros:

Too cold and exhausted after given various nonsense why hot water cut off after 2 minutes after beingtold 10 20 minutes wsit then moving to a couple of rooms with sats so was lije outside. Gave up on it chdnged money with them to pay the one night driver and food but still was incorrect amd no receipt provided. After all of it obviously not recommending especially as have just paid in effect same at many hostels last 3 months with none of this occurring. Lesson learnt.

Great place to stay
Pros:

I always stay at Smyle Inn. The location is fantastic, 10 mins walk from New Delhi station so very convenient and in the heart of Pahar Ganj. More importantly, as a female solo traveller I feel safe at this place because the staff are so kind and helpful. Rooms are basic and clean, hot water when you need it and a decent breakfast. I would highly recommend it.

Good quality for good price :)
Pros:

Really good hotel in the center of busy district. The hotel is hidden in the narrow street so you can't hear the noise. The receptionist Ravi was really helpful and friendly. The staff was very attentive and supportive. If we asked for something it was fixed immediately. I would definitely come back if i will visit India again.

Super service
Pros:

Simple and nice hostel. The staff is very friendly and help you with everything you need, special thanks to Amit for great service and the travel host Rishi for helping us planning the next part of our trip. The hostel is located by a busy marked with lots of shops and food to experience. The hostel is a little tricky to find the first time, so make sure you’ve downloaded the location beforehand or have data on your phone. There is people in the street trying to scam you when you arrive, so don’t trust them or follow them to tourist offices. The travel office in the hostel can book you tours and drivers that can take you anywhere you want. Special shoutouts to Ravi our Delhi tourguide and driver Rishevh who took us to Agra and Jaipur (very nice car).

This is the best hotel in Paharganj and great value for money.
The place is extremely clean and the staff are super kind and helpful, all of them are wonderful and they help you with everything you need.
The breakfast in the rooftop is also great. It is lovely to enjoy there in the morning and talking to other travellers. I met very nice people there.
From now on I'll stay in this hotel whenever I go back to Delhi.

Highly recommended!!
Pros:

This is an excellent hostel - the staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast is really good and changes regularly. The staff really want to help, and they give really good advice and recommendations. The location is really convenient for exploring the city, as it is located right by a major train station and a large market. I would stay here again, and would recommend it to others.

Great stay at Smyle Inn
Pros:

We had a nice stay at Smyle Inn - the room was spacious and had a functioning hot shower (which hasn't been the case in a lot of other places we stayed at on our trip!). Location was great too, as was about 10 mins walk from New Delhi metro station where the Airport Express Line goes from. Only downside was that it was quite noisy inside the room at night as the street below was pretty busy. But otherwise we had a great few days there. And Rinku, who served us some lovely breakfasts and coffee on the rooftop cafe, was particularly wonderful!

My place in Delhi
Pros:

Smyle Inn is situated right in the middle of the picturesque Paharganj with its network of narrow magic alleyways. The staff is super friendly and helpful, always makes me feel at home. And the breakfast is very tasty. Smyle Inn is my place in Delhi, I have been going there for years now.
