Question 3

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Guests rate it 3.8 across 450 reviews. It’s a midscale choice for New Delhi.

Question 5

Do I need a car in New Delhi?

Accepted Answer

No, not for the city itself. The metro covers nearly 390 km with fares of ₹10–60 and reaches Lal Qila, Jor Bagh, Hauz Khas and Qutub Minar stations, with autos at about ₹30 for the first 1.5 km filling the last stretch. A car with driver, at roughly ₹2,500–3,500 for the standard 8 hours and 80 km, is worth it for one day only: the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Sultan Ghari and Tughlaqabad loop that no single metro line connects. For Agra and Jaipur, take the Gatimaan Express or the Ajmer Shatabdi rather than driving.

Question 6

Is Delhi better for families or for couples, and which areas suit each?

Accepted Answer

Both work, but the areas differ. Families do best in Vasant Kunj, Dwarka or Saket, where hotels have pools, larger rooms and easy parking, and Saket sits two metro stops from Qutub Minar; expect ₹4,000–9,000. Couples tend to prefer Hauz Khas for the deer park and the ruins beside the reservoir, or Nizamuddin East for the walk to Sunder Nursery and Humayun’s Tomb, at ₹3,000–7,000. Extra beds and cots are widely available but rarely free, usually ₹800–1,500 a night, and Indian hotels often cap occupancy at three per room.

Question 7

What should I book well in advance in Delhi?

Accepted Answer

Book your hotel early for the last week of December, the India International Trade Fair fortnight of 14–27 November at Pragati Maidan, and the days around Republic Day on 26 January, when Lutyens Delhi tightens up and central rooms both sell out and spike. Gatimaan Express seats to Agra Cantt and Shatabdi seats to Jaipur open 60 days ahead and the good morning departures go quickly in the October–March season. Taj Mahal tickets are worth buying online in advance, and remember it is closed on Fridays. Red Fort and the National Museum both close on Mondays, so plan the day order around that.

Question 8

What is a typical nightly hotel rate in New Delhi?

Accepted Answer

A decent mid-range double runs ₹2,500–6,000 a night in Karol Bagh, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash or Hauz Khas, and that is the sweet spot for comfort per rupee. Budget rooms in Paharganj and Mahipalpur go for ₹700–1,800, business hotels in Aerocity, Nehru Place and Gurugram for ₹8,000–15,000, and the Chanakyapuri palace hotels for ₹18,000–40,000. Add GST on top: rooms up to ₹7,500 sit in a lower slab, anything above ₹7,500 is taxed at 18 per cent. Rates across all bands drop 30–40 per cent in May, June and August.

Question 9

Is New Delhi walkable?

Accepted Answer

In pockets, yes; overall, no. Chandni Chowk between Red Fort and Fatehpuri Masjid is pedestrianised and best on foot, the Lodhi Gardens to Safdarjung’s Tomb stretch is an easy walk, and Connaught Place’s inner and outer circles are designed for it. But the distances between clusters defeat walking: Connaught Place to Qutub Minar is 15 km, and to Humayun’s Tomb about 7 km. Use the metro for the long hops and autos for the last kilometre, and in May and June do all your walking before 10am.

Question 10

What transportation options are available from Corus to Delhi International Airport?

Accepted Answer

Corus offers a car rental service for guests needing transportation to the airport. The journey typically involves navigating Delhi's traffic, so travelers should allow ample time, especially during rush hours. For those preferring not to drive, taxis and auto-rickshaws are readily available, though the exact time can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions.

Question 11

Is Corus suitable for families traveling with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Corus can accommodate families with its basic amenities and functional rooms. The hotel offers breakfast options and has a bar, though children might find the bar area less engaging. Families should note that the hotel is in a commercial district rather than a tourist area, so entertainment options nearby may be limited compared to family-focused hotels in other parts of Delhi.

Question 12

How far is Corus from other major Delhi attractions like the Red Fort or Qutub Minar?

Accepted Answer

While exact distances aren't provided, Corus is positioned in a strategic location with relatively good access to Delhi's major attractions. The nearby metro system offers connectivity to sites like Qutub Minar and the Red Fort, though visitors should expect some travel time through the city's busy streets. The hotel's proximity to Humayun's Tomb and Tughlaqabad Fort makes it particularly convenient for exploring this cluster of historical sites.

Question 13

Is Corus an eco, green or certified-sustainable hotel?

Accepted Answer

Corus is a regular hotel — we don't claim otherwise. What IS carbon-neutral is booking it through IMPT: every completed booking funds one verified tonne of CO2 removal (real, independently verified regenerative-agriculture projects), at the exact same live rate you would pay anywhere else. The hotel isn't being marketed as green — the way you book it is what makes the stay carbon-neutral.

Question 14

Does booking Corus through IMPT cost more because of the carbon offset?

Accepted Answer

No. The one tonne of CO2 removal funded by your booking comes out of the standard booking commission IMPT already earns from the hotel — it is never added to your bill. You pay the same live rate as booking direct or through any other site.
