One night stay in South Delhi
Very nice up market B&B in South Delhi. Service was excellent right from the start. We were welcomed with a pot of tea and cake. The Defence Colony area was notably much greener and quieter than other parts of Delhi. As this was our last night we decided to have the set meal for 1200rs which was amazing.

This is a friendly, well-run small hotel. The rooms range in size from sufficient to generous and are clean and well-appointed. Great food in the rooftop restaurant.

Excellent stay By Central Market
Great place located close to Lajpat Nagar and the Central Market. Service was great, rooms clean and tidy. It was great to come back to an Air Conditioned room from the humid August temperatures.
Rooftop closed for the monsoon months
June-August.
Very close to the Central Market great for shopping.

Oasis in Delhi
Colonel's Retreat isn't a fancy hotel with a pool. It's in a safe & quiet residential area and it has a "soul". The rooms are a good size, excellent shower and very comfy bed. The staff are lovely, they even when we had an early train offered a takeaway breakfast. They also organised all our pickups and drop offs very efficiently. The roof top restaurant is really nice and the meals offered there are really good. We stayed here for 2 nights and then came back for 1 night a few days later - they stored our luggage for us and it was all ready for us when we got back late at night. Would recommend this hotel.
Excellent property in a quiet neighbourhood, it is done up in a manner that it feels like a home away from home. The staff is friendly and they also serve very good food. I will surely come back again.

A homely, well-run and clean place with efficient, polite and helpful staff. Excellent location, close to main centres of activity. Wifi is good but cell phone connectivity is a major issue.

Won’t stay there again
Very clean, excellent food, Naresh was very helpful although difficult to communicate with because of language barrier. Staff can’t speak English (only mention this because it’s India, they should !), are rude, don’t listen and not particularly helpful. WiFi crappy

Cozy, homey and professional
My second stay at the Colonel’s Retreat and am just as satisfied. Great place to unwind at the rooftop restaurant with a chilled beer beneath the stars.
The person who took us in and served us lovely fresh lime sodas and cheese sandwiches deserves a special mention, unfortunately i forget his name.
I feel i must mention here that some of the kitchen staff were less than helpful when asked to provide glutenfree options. I felt i was imposing on them and they were uncooperative.
However, it was a lovely stay overall.

Good
Very nice hotel everything was clean compare to other hotels. The only problem they had a lot of mosquitoes for some reason they have to take care of that. I think its because too much plants. I recommend they get rid of plants because indian mosquitoes are not safe. There were a lot of mosquitoes repellent but didn't help much.
Other than mosquitoes best place and device loved it. I want to go again please remove that plants so no more mosquitoes.

Wonderful and quiet
Far away from the hustle but a quick metro ride to the sights. Fabulous breakfasts on the terrace with an easy cater for a gluten free person. Great rooms, clean and spacious. Delhi under-rated as a tourist destination - and plenty of great advice about what to see.

Fantastic Accommodations - Defence Colony, Delhi
From the moment I arrived the staff made me feel welcomed and appreciated. The airline lost my luggage, I was hungry and exhausted when I arrived. The staff offered tea while they prepared lunch and I settled in my room. They continued to assist with locating my luggage until it was delivered the following day. Delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Very comfortable bef, hot shower, free wi-ri, toiletries and EXCELLENT customer service! I highly recommend a stay here.
