Stayed here for a wedding with many relatives from other parts of India and the world. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setup was perfect for us. Our group had the entire first floor (4 bedrooms per floor) and some rooms higher up. Having the first floor to ourselves allowed us to socialize and catch up in between wedding... More

I and two colleagues stayed here one month while working in Delhi and I have to say a big thank you to all the lovely staff at the Colonel's Retreat. They could not have been more helpful, smiling and friendly. It's true the more junior staff don't speak much English but the senior staff do. They all made our stay... More

We have stayed at Colonel's Retreat on multiple occasions. The staff is extremely friendly, the breakfast good and location is very convenient. Couldn't have asked for more from a BnB in New Delhi. Simple advice, this place is in huge demand and please pre book before travelling. Mr. Arun has been kind enough to accommodate us most of the times... More

We booked an entire floor of this place for my husband's family visiting India for the first time. It was reasonable value at $100 a night for each room (4 rooms in total) and the apartment was pretty large, with balconies and en suite bathrooms for each room, and we needed a comfy place to stay in Delhi for a...

I as the owner deeply regret this incident. My only lament is it has been brought to my notice over 3 months after you stayed with us. This kind of incident is best dealt with on the spot. I also find this very hard to understand because dental and hygiene kits are provided free of charge for the staff and... More

The street Colonel's Retreat is situated on is very nice, in a beautiful residential area of Delhi, full of nice houses and gardens and quiet. Near Khan Market, Defense Colony's Market and other nice markets in Delhi. And my husband and I felt very safe. Service and breakfast have room for improvement though. Otherwise room is quite nice, they provide... More

We recently used the Colonel's Retreat as our home base for several two days trips outside of Delhi. They actually own a couple of properties in the Defence Colony area of Delhi. Of the 5 nights that we stayed there, we spend two nights in a very small room and one night in a room that had one bed and... More

We arrived to find our taxi awaiting us at Delhi airport. This easy, convenient and comfortable start underlines our whole experience at the colonels retreat. The rooms are private, well sized, clean and secure..... With hot water! We felt at home immediately and were made cups of tea and given banana bread (which was delicious) to welcome us. Staff went... More

In lovely part of Defence Colony with wide clean streets and old fashioned big colonial style homes. Entering at street level almost directly into an elevator, we went past a couple of other similar floors. We opened onto an open shared living space equipped with free internet, TV, mags, newspapers, books and such. At the communal table at the end... More

We spent three weeks travelling through India December 2011 and came up with two things westerners really need: decent sized rolls of toilet paper and complimentary bottled water when you arrive. Colonel's Retreat does both brilliantly and much more. Fabulous accomdation at astounding low prices in a brilliant location. Thank you from Downunder. More

I stayed with 10 members Iranian team for 4 nights in Nov-Dec, 2011 and everyone liked it. Nice and cozy rooms, free wi-fi connections, homely food and acceptable service (though replenishment of sugar, tea & coffee sachets could be improved). Jitendra More
