I chose it from seeing their website and it was booked by our agent. It was a little bit too cheap.

The Pamposh is-just as you see it, you get it: bedsheet spots- this would not be star rated at all in the UK, unfinished edges-Nice location in an allround way, the squalor is the one side; and right next to the poverty rubbing shoulders with the 'posh' part, is a good resid area, where there are a couple of modern yoga studios where people well off enough to employ the others as servants can go.

The nearby taxi station lies beneath a tarpaulin tent roof, in the squalid market road corner with food vendors cooking up something vry unappealing. On the ground level of the guest house is a Dominoes pizza, that's okay, you can so easily walk it up to your own room.

There is also a Paratha restaurant which is highly recommended in South Delhi, but not vegetarian - it smelt terriblt to me, like the outdoors squallor quite inescapeable for Delhi newbies. This is a S.Delhi heartland with modern shops nearby;the 24 hour ATM by the entrance is actually only a local bank card taker- so I was told; there is a delicatessen like 24-7 supermarket, where I saw organic soya milk, and many better quality Western brands, but unremarkably at western prices too.

The much cheaper indian type of supermarket, as in the UK is also nearby. The entry (not for disabled/steep flight of stairs to reception) up between shops ( as pic.) S.Delhi noise resounds around here by day, hotel is no retreat; sound of aircraft only, at night, no worse than Earl's Court. Location of GK is not far from Nehru Place and Lotus temple. The bonus, if that is one. Internet wireless connection possible from bedroom by day/evening only. The odd electricity failure and sound of noisy background generator was timely also, but the worst thing was the lack of towel rails and coat hooks, which brought our the ugly workmanship and lack of decor, to make more obvious the odd tile missing in the bathroom, lack of room servicing- in terms of inspection and then necessary cleaning.

If you want to respect and rub shoulders with those living here in poverty, without dangerous rides on rickshaws and an unhealthy interest in sweeping your feet through market areas, here's a better option, contain things to a manageable level within the hotel, and ignore it outside painlessly.

Auto taxi into town, tour e.g. with our 'VacationExperts' good, in excellent car, much needed to fit all sites into a couple of days. Recommended if you want to put everything in the perspective of price, and a middle of the road viewpoint.


Taxi call service very good, 300-400 IRs for a 4 hour/or 40km max journey distance. Eg Connaught place AND BACK in about 30 mins eachway,
I day ( 6 hours) Vac Exp driver (and recommended guide extra) 800RPs/80km max. i.e. driver waits in car park, while you visit, paying entrance fees.erspective of price, and a middle of the road viewpoint.
