Question 4

Accepted Answer

Guests rate it 4 across 1714 reviews. It’s a midscale choice for New Delhi.

Question 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Where should I stay to see Delhi’s archaeological sites and the Qutub Minar?

Accepted Answer

Stay in Saket, Hauz Khas or Greater Kailash. The Qutub Minar, the Iron Pillar, Mehrauli Archaeological Park with Balban’s tomb, Jamali Kamali and Rajon ki Baoli, Sultan Ghari and the 1321 walls of Tughlaqabad are all in the southern belt, and a ₹3,500–6,000 room here saves you two hours a day in traffic from Connaught Place. Hauz Khas has the added advantage of Firoz Shah Tughlaq’s 1352 madrasa and Alauddin Khalji’s reservoir at the end of the street. ASI monuments open sunrise to sunset with tickets at ₹35 for Indian nationals and ₹550 for foreign nationals at Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb. Yellow Line trains put you back at Rajiv Chowk in about 25 minutes when you want central Delhi.

Question 10

What is the best way to get to Hotel City Star from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)?

Accepted Answer

The most efficient way is to book a pre-paid taxi or use a ride-hailing app from the airport arrivals. The drive to Paharganj takes you through the city, and a pre-paid cab fixes the fare in advance. The Delhi Airport Express Metro line connects to the New Delhi Railway Station, which is a short auto-rickshaw ride from the hotel, but this is less convenient with luggage.

Question 11

Can I walk to the Red Fort from the hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Red Fort (Lal Qila) is within walking distance from Hotel City Star, though it's a significant walk ofa short distance through busy market areas. Many guests find taking a quick and inexpensive cycle- or auto-rickshaw for the final stretch more comfortable, especially in the heat. The fort is a major landmark easily reached from Paharganj.

Question 12

What kind of dining options are available near the hotel in Paharganj?

Accepted Answer

Paharganj is famed for its vast array of budget-friendly dining. You'll find everything from simple local dhabas serving North Indian classics and street food stalls to traveler-focused cafes with multi-cuisine menus. For a more upscale meal, you would need to take a short ride to areas like Connaught Place or the restaurants in nearby five-star hotels.

Question 13

Is Hotel City Star an eco, green or certified-sustainable hotel?

Accepted Answer

Hotel City Star 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 Hotel City Star 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.
