Colonel's Retreat

A charming place to stay

A charming place to stay. Wonderfully clean, decorated to a high standard, safe and well located in a leafy neighbourhood with shops and public transport links close by (metro, buses). The staff are friendly and helpful. Food is good and can be enjoyed on a lovely rooftop terrace. Plenty of lounge areas throughout the property from which to work.

Nice location

Nice location, in a less chaotic neighbourhood of Delhi and with modern buildings. Spacious, bright and well-furnished room. Very kind staff.

Very good experience

All the staff was very helpful and lovely, the room was super clean and spacious, the terrace on the rooftop where they serve breakfast and dinner was a nice touch, the area very calm and soothing, very good experience, don’t hesitate to stay at Colonel’s Retreat, you won’t regret it :) Nothing to complain about

Modern and beautifully decorated

We stayed in the secondary property, which was modern and beautifully decorated. Meals are had at the main property (3 houses down the road). The staff were lovely. Great breakfast on the rooftop. Location was 5 5-minute walk to an area with restaurants. Would stay here again, it’s a quiet part of Delhi.

Wonderful staff

I stayed at this hotel on my way to Europe and on my way back home, and it was a great hotel. This time I was able to have breakfast, and I was also very impressed with the young and wonderful staff at the breakfast venue.

I was lucky to be able to stay

The best thing was that the information posted on the Booking.com website was accurate. It is very common for hotels in Delhi to display maps in locations that are not true, or to heavily edit photos of the rooms, so you need to be careful. It was a little more expensive than some of the more shady hotels, but it was still much cheaper than well-known hotels, and I was lucky to be able to stay there safely. I had arranged a taxi the night before for my early morning flight, but if you have time, it would be much more economical to take the subway, as we did when we arrived. Also, this area seems to be one of the safest areas in Delhi, with restrictions on vehicle access from outside. I could understand why it was so popular and difficult to book.

Excellent value for money

The perfect stay in Delhi We can’t recommend The Colonel’s Retreat highly enough. It is excellent value for money, but so much more than that. Suman and her team were so attentive to our every need and went out of their way to be helpful. Our stay was just as the COVID 19 epidemic was gathering pace and the hotel was a place of calm and safety away from the mayhem. It is scrupulously clean, with cool and spacious communal indoor lounges as well as a lovely roof terrace. Delicious and interesting food with great explanations of what’s on the plate. This is an outstandingly organised gem of a place and I wish them continued success for the future!--
