Colonel's Retreat At The Airport

Great stay at this hotel. Good price, value for money and really detailed rooms. Would have no hesitation in returning here.

We needed a place to sleep for a few hours before our long flight back to the USA. Since we were not even spending the entire night, (our flight home was at 3:00am), this hotel seemed like a good option. It is very inexpensive and had decent reviews. Luckily we chose to pay an additional fee for their airport pick up. We never would have found this place otherwise! This is not a typical hotel. It is more like a guest house. And there was no sign posted outside that we could see. In fact, the lobby simply consists of a small desk at the entrance. But, our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was good as well. Since we were not going to be there for breakfast in the morning, I asked for some bottles of water instead. They were happy to oblige. If you are looking for a very basic place to spend the night, we do recommend it!

Colonel's Retreat at the Airport is in a residential area so, on the upside, you will be away from all the honking horns in the bustling traffic of Delhi, but you will also be far from restaurants. If night-life is what you want, this is not the place for you but if you are wanting to see the local culture and have a quiet nights sleep for a great price, stay here. The hotel staff was very accommodating. Our flight arrived 2 hours later than the 1:15AM time we asked the hotel to arrange for transport, and he was still there waiting. The sleepy staff checked us in and was helpful in allowing us to eat breakfast early to catch a tour. They were flexible with us on all accounts. The breakfast was basic but good. It was a hot meal (not continental) and the staff was kind. The room was large and included bottled water and a teapot for making coffee or tea. The room was nothing to shout about but it was clean and the sheets smelled fresh. The bed was hard. The strange thing was that even though we were there for 3 days, there was no maid service nor towel change. I am sure if we asked, however, they would have done it. So perhaps that is just Indian culture. The area is pretty residential and although there is a "mall" within walking distance, it is just a bunch of outdoor stall-like stores and street food eating places. Take an Uber to another part of town to eat!

Close to international airport. They arranged airport pick up and arranged quick lunch. Very impressive.

Clean, spacious rooms. Close to airport. Affordable. Good to use for short term transfer days to/from airport.

Lovely big clean room, with large en suite. Lovely simple breakfast. Staff very friendly and offer good knowledge where to visit locally.

One of the best places I've stayed in my trip. The staff were helpful. The breakfast was great and the location was close to all the things I needed (metro, airport).

The english dificult and the staff the rooms are not to clean and dont have aircondition just fan

Definately not close to the airport, the meal we ordered came from outside the hotel and my friend got food poisoning, not what I expected.

We spent a night here only because we were in transit and needed a place close to the airport. Arrived very late at night and so it worked out very well. In the morning the desk person helped us get Rupees. All in all it suited our needs perfectly. Also the breakfast was good, and the shower was also good, and fairly near the airport and they also arranged for taxi.

Manager extremely helpful, very clean, great in-house meals . One stop on the metro from airport and a 300rp taxi.

the hotel is so far from city center, nice hotel but i took over one hour and half to go to downtown... subway is over 30 minutes by walk..

All good but taxis find it extremely difficult to find. This is not my first time here and drivers struggle to find the place in the middle of nice urban development. I would suggest owners give precise instructions so guest can show taxi drivers

Good breakfast, cold ac, great water pressure. My airport shuttle to and from the airport was reasonably priced, friendly, and waiting for me when I arrived. I arived late at night and the hotel was very accommodating.

A friend and I stayed at this hotel for one night between our flight from Hyderabad to Delhi and then Delhi back to the United States. Although we were there for less than 8 hours (our flight to the US was super early in the morning), I would definitely stay here again and wish we had stayed here when we were in Delhi for a few days at the beginning of our trip. I really appreciated that the hotel reached out to me immediately to see if we needed a shuttle to and from the airport, even though I booked the hotel months before our trip; they could not have been more helpful re: the shuttle arrangements. Our room was adorable and very comfortable, and the staff were helpful re: making sure we were situated in our room when we got there. After having had a less than desirable shower experience at another hotel in Delhi, I really appreciated how nice the shower was in our room at the Colonel's Retreat (and there was plenty of hot water). They provided plenty of complimentary bottles of water and the WiFi was good enough to handle downloading multiple videos onto my tablet to prep for our long airplane rides back to the US. Overall, the room was very affordable and worth well more than the price we paid. would recommend Colonel's Retreat to others and will definitely stay here if I return to Delhi in the future.

Having read the other reviews on this hotel and confidently booked for our arrival in Delhi, I think it fair to point out that our impression seemed to differ from others somewhat. It is a long drive from the airport, not easy to find, and our driver finally discovered it was inside a private enclave (more of a building site) with a metal gate preventing access, we had to wake up the guard to get the gate opened. From there it is a short drive to the hotel, which has a metal gate locked across it. Once on the other side of the gate, the reception area is a desk at a back wall with no side walls. I could not fault the staff, they were really helpful, but it was not the hotel we believed we were coming to. You would have had to order a taxi and leave the enclave if you wanted to find somewhere to eat. The room itself was fine, although the first room had no air con control, and the second one (we stayed before and after going to the Taj) no TV control! The window blind could not be raised in either room. The rooms themselves were clean enough, but while waiting for a cab in reception, there was a mouse roaming around behind the desk. Probably not much they could do about this, as there were no walls! Breakfast was basic, no fresh fruit apart from a banana each, orange squash instead of juice, and an offer to cook eggs. If you are a backpacker, this hotel would probably be fine for you, but it is not the three star hotel we thought we were booking.

It was about as I expected. Thought it would be closer to the airport. Overall, I was pleased with. A good deal for the price.

Stayed for only one night, 25 mins from the airport, nice room, clean conditions, and helpful staff. Would go there again.

Clean, comfortable option within easy reach of Delhi Airport but not impacted by noise from airport. Good value for money for an overnight stay near airport before morning flight back to Europe. Whilst shown as 3km from airport, it was actually a 17km taxi ride due to roads layout and Uber drivers for both trips from and to the airport were unable to find the property, however Uber taxi trips were cheap and relatively traffic free.

Great value for money. Staff was excellent, breakfast was very good. Location was excellent, near to airport in a very nice residential neighbourhood
