I’m hardly a travel advisor but still I would like to commend the Amax Inn in New Delhi. It’s a bit out of the way but still only a 35 minute walk or a Rs 50 auto-taxi fare from Connaught Place. Prepaid taxi from and to DEL was Rs 350. The ride from the airport was not much more than half an hour.
My room and attached bath were newly refurbished and both the staff and amenities had Westerners in mind. My price was reasonable, Rs 935 including taxes, but even the less expensive room looked very nice. The rooftop terrace was only adequate as a place to eat but the food was very good and decently priced. (In other words, you could get the same food for less elsewhere if you were willing to poke around but the hotel menu was in English and had many examples of Western fare.)
Many of the staff spoke English very well. Folks at the front desk were very helpful on places to see, how to get there, and what it should cost to do so. The Pahar Ganj part of town may be a bit off-putting to India newbies, and you would be well advised to keep your valuables close, but for the price I think the value of the Amax Inn beats mid-range places that cost five times as much.
