If you are prepared to plunge in, you will find that Delhi — built and destroyed seven times, with hundreds of monuments to show for its extraordinary past — has so much more to offer than the sprawling, chaotic, incoherent city might at first promise. However, this is a city best enjoyed with the advice of people in the know. This is why our Hotel Gurus recommend staying in a guesthouse — both for the city tips from the hosts and also the residential locations which are infinitely calmer and more appealing than where the larger hotels are situated. With this in mind, our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best guesthouses in Delhi selected for their design, location, and service. Whether you would like a characterful traditional bungalow or something a little more contemporary, there is plenty to choose from. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next trip?
