Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This guest house is located at about 10- 15 minute walking distance from new Delhi railway station (in new delhi railway station ask for Paharganj exit) and rk ashram metro station. In fact this guest house is located mid way between New Delhi railway station and rk ashram metro station.
At exit of New Delhi railway station (Paharganj side) one can find many share auto's going to rk ashram metro station. Board those share auto's to reach Ajay guest house and the share auto fare is Rs 10 per person.
This is a budget place for stay. I paid Rs 500 per night for a non AC single room and they gave 24 hour's checkout. If we go to the guest house directly and book they give 24 hour's checkout. The room was good. Toilet was clean and a geyser was also there for hot water bath .
Those on a budget trip to Delhi I will suggest Ajay guest house at Paharganj as a place to stay . I could see families too staying in this guest house

Good location walking distance from New Delhi railway station and RK Ashram Marg metro station. WiFi was good, sheets were dirty and shower was lukewarm. Rooftop terrace is nice. Staff were helpful, overall decent place for price.

Ajay Guest House is a good address at the Main Bazar. I'm giving this place one star more than my experience actually was because believe it has potential.
1.) The Building & Employees I don't know what the building looks like exactly, because it is located in a side alley off the Main Bazar and you can't rally see it in all it's glory. The common areas are very clean, there is an Internet Café on the ground floor, a restaurant and a German bakery. If you're into it, you can get Muesli, Bread and real cheese here. I don't know about the Restaurant quality and prices because there is so much on the Main Bazar to eat. There is WiFi, but you need to buy a password and it was unbearably slow, at least for me. Luckily I had an Indian SIM card. I don't know how the speed is in the Internet Café. If you read this, Ajay Team, get free and fast WiFi. The Employees were quite friendly. The guy at the lobby desk doesn't seem to care about anything, but he does his job. When I came, there was an employee in my room who apparently had used the bathroom and locked the door. There was Urine on the toilet seat. I asked for an employee to clean it up but he only cleaned the floor. Really weird. I hope this was an isolated incident.
2.) The Room
Clean. The bed is spacious. The bathroom has everything, including a water heater. The tank is just large enough for maybe 3-4 minutes of hot water, so you gotta be quick with the shampoo if you want to relax a bit. Kind of disappointing, I've seen smaller water heaters who did a better job. Bedsheets, blanket and pillow were clean. At night you hear a bit of noise from the bazaar but it dies down when the shops close, and in the mornings it won't wake you up.
3.) The Location
It's excellent, you can walk here from the New Delhi Railway Station. Just walk down the Main Bazaar and you'll see a big banner over the road pointing to the side alley in which Ajay Guest House is located. There's always something going on at the bazaar, I spent a lot of time sitting in front of the cafe right across the street, just watching people. You can get excellent food here, especially in the side alleys close to New Delhi rail station. Many of the small restaurants make excellent Thali and grilled chicken. Try it! You can also walk to Connaught Place from here, which is a central Metro Hub from where you can reach many sights. At Connaught Place there are many shops, also a McDonalds (no worth it in India) and a Starbucks (definitely worth it to get real coffee).
4.) Other Guests
Mostly Westerners and some domestic travellers. There are other travellers all over the Bazar at all times if you want to meet people.
Bottom Line: It's a good place, I had a few problems but I guess those were isolated incidents. If they just got better water heaters and free&fst WiFi this place would be unbeatable.

After three hours in bed I was an absolute mess with bed bug bites. They were so severe I needed anti biotics & I'm still scarred months later. The hotel is filthy.
When I told the night porter I had been bitten repeatedly & showed him the blood from one killed bed bug he simply put the sheet on a pile of around 50 other dirty sheets outside my room. I told the staff you can't simply wash the sheets, they need to be boiled washed and the mattress treated. They took no notice & just treated the mattress - safe to say by now the whole place will be infected.
The next morning the duty manager refused to refund me & showed indifference to the situation. He didn't even apologise. I went into the restaurant & in a very loud voice told all the customers about the bed bugs. I got my refund :) ... Avoid this hell hole like the plague!

While the rooms and the hotel in general may be nice - it is something that neither me nor my friends have had a chance to experience - i am extremely appalled at the terribly discriminatory attitude of the hotel management. For the last many days when i have gone personally the hotel to book a room for Artist friends (husband and wife) from Bangladesh who are due to arrive in this country soon but each time i have been asked to come back after a few days. While i thought that was odd because i was ready to pay the advance i didn't think it had anything to do with my being Indian.
Today when i tried to book the rooms online, i saw that the rooms are available for the next one month and that it was possible for me to book a room. I called to enquire about payment through debit and spoke to Mr Om Prakash (not sure if it is the right name as he told me his name hesitatingly) who on getting to know that I was Indian and that I lived in Delhi itself started to evade answering my enquiries regarding the payment method. On being told that my friends were from Bangladesh he immediately said that there were no rooms available and didn't want to talk to me anymore.
While this sort of discrimination is something that I have had to experience myself in many cities in India in places that have been recommended by travel sources like the Lonely Planet and Tripadvisor presumably based on the feedback of western travelers, It is extremely embarrassing for me that my artist friends from my neighbouring country have been judged solely on the basis of their nationality and not on whether they're adhering to the rules of the hotel or not. And given the manner of reaction from Mr Om Prakash (or whoever it was really speaking on the other line of the phone communication) i am sure that this sort of discrimination against Indians and other smaller countries from around our region is something that they're used to.
i also realise that most of the people reading this review would perhaps be from countries in our West or the Far East and will probably never experience this sort of behaviour from this hotel management or another but given the highly discriminatory environment that exists in our country (and in the world in general), it is extremely important for me to put this out there for everyone to know about this guest house because for many years we people have kept a bit too silent about such things that are seemingly not too big a deal.

Booked online a couple of months in advance for 4 people. When we arrived in the afternoon the hotel had a copy of the booking but did not have any rooms available. The only alternative offered was to share a single room with an additional mattress (we had booked 4 rooms). When we declined this the hotel refused to return our deposit (50% of booking fee).

It may be recommended by many guide books, but frankly speeking, I found the Ajay Guest House in Pahar Ganj (the Main Bazaar) really horrible. Our room was dirty, the bed was sticky - I don't know whether the bedlinnen was cleaned at all, but they should definitely changer their washing powder, if yes. Staff wasn't helpful, either, and they overcharged on the airport pick-up (450 Rs instead of 300 Rs at the prepaid booth). It might be cheap for Delhi (ca 500 Rs for a double room) but in my opinion, it's not worth even that. There are better places at the same rate around.

I stayed in my friends room as I had come to meet him in the city centre for his last night and he thought as he had paid for the room for the night that I could stay and hand the key back in the morning. We hadn't thought it through and when he went to get his taxi to the airport at 4am the night receptionist said I couldn't stay and to book a room myself I needed to show my passport and visa. I only had a photo of the passport photo so asked about taxis back to the place I was staying south of the city. The receptionist suddenly changed his mind and said I could stay until 7am. I didn't want to get a taxi alone at that time so was relieved that he was letting the rules slide. He then escorted me back upstairs. At the room he came in and started hugging me and kissing my face, neck and shoulders. I was terrified but managed to push him out of the door and bolt it. He and a friend came back at 6.50 banging on the door and saying they needed to inspect the room. When I opened the door they came in and I slipped outside. They were demanding that I come back into the room for the inspection but there was no way I was going back in. They then said I needed to pay another 300 rupees although the room was paid for. I gave them 500 and ran down the stairs. I wasn't technically staying there but women should know to avoid this place. I felt really threatened and unsafe.

When I got there and asked about the double room, even before showing the room, they exactly said, "Passport." Of course I asked them to show the room. The room was terribly dirty. Many dead flies were on the floor and even on the bed. Of course I asked them to change the room or at least clean. However, they said, "Find another hotel."
If I can write F word here, then I wanna write thousands times.
Please Readers, this hotel is terrible and Even the people are "Terroristable."
Never ever go there.

We checked the rooms because they have a famous restaurant downstairs. We hadn't seen the tripadvisor reviews before. We saw the room and liked it a lot, room was 303. So the room was big, they had clean sheets and towels, hot water for the cold days of end of December. The Wifi works throughout the whole building. Some of the staff might not look that friendly but they are diligent. We were very surprised to see the average they have here on tripadvisor, I guess they went through some remodeling since now it is great. Try getting the rooms on the back to avoid street noise. We payed 900 INR for the night
