The Royal Oakes is a 3-star hotel in New Delhi.

Guests rate it 4.9 across 146 reviews. It’s a midscale choice for New Delhi.

Four nights is the minimum for the main monuments, because Shahjahanabad, Mehrauli and the Nizamuddin corridor are three separate clusters 15–20 km apart and each takes most of a day. Five nights adds the National Museum on Janpath, Feroz Shah Kotla and Agrasen ki Baoli without rushing. Six or seven lets you add Agra with an overnight there, which is the only way to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise and still reach Fatehpur Sikri. For the full Delhi–Agra–Jaipur circuit with a night at Neemrana, plan on ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The most efficient way to reach central Delhi from Greater Kailash is by taxi or ride-sharing app like Uber or Ola. While the Delhi Metro is extensive, the nearest station may require an auto-rickshaw connection. A direct drive to Connaught Place typically involves navigating city traffic, but it remains the most straightforward option for visitors.

Absolutely. Greater Kailash is renowned for its fantastic food scene. The hotel's location puts you within easy walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants, from authentic local dhabas and street food stalls to upscale international cuisine. The main markets of Greater Kailash are a hub for food lovers exploring Delhi's culinary diversity.

Yes, it is an excellent choice for business travellers. The hotel is located very close to Nehru Place, one of Delhi's major commercial and IT hubs. This proximity minimises commute times, and the quiet, professional atmosphere of the Greater Kailash neighbourhood provides a conducive environment for work after hours.

The Royal Oakes 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.

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.
