Accepted Answer

Guests rate it 2.9 across 155 reviews. It’s a midscale choice for New Delhi.

Question 5

How do I get from Delhi airport to the city centre?

Accepted Answer

The Airport Express metro is fastest: 22.7 km from Terminal 3 to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes for ₹60, with stops at Delhi Aerocity and Dhaula Kuan. A prepaid taxi from the T3 arrivals counter to Connaught Place costs ₹500–700 and takes 35–50 minutes depending on NH-48 traffic. Ola and Uber pick up from the designated bays and price similarly outside surge hours. If you are staying in Aerocity itself the drive is under 10 minutes, and most hotels there run a free shuttle; Mahipalpur is the same distance on the other side of NH-48 but you will need an auto.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

What transportation options are available from FabExpress Gaylord?

Accepted Answer

From FabExpress Gaylord in Chanakyapuri, guests can access various transportation options. The hotel offers free car parking for those driving themselves. Delhi's metro system provides efficient connections to major areas, though the nearest station would require short local transport. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are readily available, though it's advisable to agree on fares beforehand or use ride-hailing apps.

Question 11

Are there good dining options near the hotel?

Accepted Answer

FabExpress Gaylord offers complimentary breakfast, but for other meals, guests will find limited immediate dining options in the primarily diplomatic neighborhood of Chanakyapuri. However, the hotel's strategic location means that short drives or metro rides will take you to diverse culinary experiences. Connaught Place, a short distance away, offers numerous restaurants ranging from casual cafes to upscale dining establishments.

Question 12

What is the best way to visit multiple attractions from this hotel?

Accepted Answer

The best approach for exploring multiple attractions from FabExpress Gaylord is to group them geographically to minimize travel time. Plan separate days for different areas: one for Old Delhi's Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk, another for central Connaught Place and government buildings, and a third for South Delhi's Purana Qila and Hauz Khas. Consider joining a guided tour for distant sites like Qutub Minar or Humayun's Tomb, which might otherwise require extensive travel.

Question 13

Is FabExpress Gaylord an eco, green or certified-sustainable hotel?

Accepted Answer

FabExpress Gaylord 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 FabExpress Gaylord 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.
