There's possibly a hundred hotels in the direct viscinity of Mohan International, all charging around the same (incredibly cheap) rates for a reliably similar experience. Whilst I didn't receive any of the hard sell remarked upon by other reviewers, I'd concur with some of the other comments: staff sleep on the floor on landings - in common with many of the other hotels in the area. In fact if you need room service, it's these people that will jump up at any hour of the night and courteously deal with your request.

The thing to bear in mind here is that you're paying less than you would to stay in a Youth Hostel or probably to pitch a tent in the UK. You'll get some sort of breakfast and some kind of bed and a bathroom with running water to take a shower. Anyone requiring more than this should expect to have to pay for it, in which case avoid this whole district of New Delhi and instead try the Taj or Oberoi.

Personally, I found that Mohan International was fair value for money, I've received reasonable service and only ever encountered courtesy from the staff. If you're travelling by train then it's ideally located, though there are hotels even closer to the station, they're all much of a muchness.

The Hotel Mohan International is good hotel to stay in New Delhi, I had stayed so many times and found good service, best point is the hotel is just with in walking distance from New Delhi Railway Station.

Hotel Mohan International is a highly unsafe place ,never book rooms at this hotel ...... trust me .i had a horrible experience at this hotel ,hotel staff sleep in corridors in night......on 6th april 2010 .when i woke up in the morning i found my wallet and mobile phone missing,on reporting to manager ajit he started shouting at us and accusing my friend and me for my loss .finally i went to police station and called a cop ,he searched hotel staff and recovered my wallet with credit card ,3 debit card ,ID proof but no cash in hotel 2nd floor dustbin ,however my mobile was not found .............its a HORRIBLE PLACE TO STAY NEVER EVER BOOK HERE . THE HOTEL MANAGER AJIT and SARDAR are rough and loud ,they need to be trained in Basic Courtesy and Atticate.ITS A DANGERGOUS PLACE IN PAHAR KUNJ ,DONT BOOK BASED ON LOCATION ...u may regret like me later.................

Liked most: Leaving!
Liked least: Hard sell of tour/travel packages

We only stayed for two nights, but wouldn't have stayed for any had we not already paid via the internet. If you're thinking of staying at this hotel, please don't. I just don't want anyone else to have the same experience as us.

We arranged for transport from the airport which proved very useful, and the car driver was on time and very friendly. The hotel itself was down an alleyway, but I guess a lot of Delhi hotels are. The room was a good size, but even if the sheets and pillowcases had been cleaned, they certainly didn't look it. We ended up putting tshirts on the pillows before we dared lay our heads on them!

The area is very noisy at night. We couldn't shut out the noise from outside as there was an air con unit fitted to the window - not that it worked, as the plug had been cut off. Inside the hotel was also very noisy with staff shouting to one another and music playing. Could also hear another hotel guest being very ill in the room upstairs... Yuk! Always seemed to be about 10 staff around, and except for the very smiley doorman, no-one seemed to do much unless they thought there was a good chance of a tip!

On the first day, we asked reception for directions to the train station but he insisted on calling the manager. The manager arrived. Again, we asked directions. So when he led us outside and through the streets, we naively thought he was taking us there - no, he was taking us to the Mohan's sister hotel where he proceeded to 'hard sell' his tour packages. After an hour of explaining we weren't ready to buy anything, we left and he was obviously unhappy about it - not offering any help in locating the train station or even returning to the Mohan. We were now in an area completely unknown to us, in the middle of Delhi, on our first day there. To say this was a bit scary is an understatement, and just underlines how little the Mohan International thinks of their guests - perhaps people who do buy their travel packages get treated a lot better.

Please don't stay here unless you know the area, don't mind the noise, are able to say 'no' very forcefully, and are completely financially unable to stay elsewhere. I honestly think the good reviews on tripadvisor must have been put up by the manager, employees or friends of the hotel because I can't imagine any other reason why people would recommend this hotel to others.

Please don't stay here.
