Darpan Palace

Essentially a hotel. If you want a private room on the cheap, this is about that'll you get for that location and price range. Service was very friendly and did the best with what they're working with. Internet signal was fine, too. This is a rather run down place in a rather run down, but convenient, neighborhood. If you're a single guy and funkiness doesn't matter, then Darpan might be ok. For a more hostel-like experience (w/ a very helpful front desk), then I recommend Zostel just 100m a...

The worst place I’ve ever been. absolutely not recommended

Nous avons dû changer de chambre en raison d’un problème,mais cela n’a pas amélioré notre expérience. Les draps n’étaient pas propre, et le sol tout autant. Nous avons payé un premier montant dès notre arrivée,puis l’hôtel nous a réclamé un supplément le lendemain sous prétexte d’une erreur injustifié. Il fallait demander à l’accueil d’allumer le chauffe-eau et attendre 15 minutes. En réalité,nous n’avons jamais eu. L’installation électrique était dangereuse...

Very good place, clean, amazing staff and only 5min walking to Train station. Highly recommended.

you get what you pay for. it's very cheap but incredibly basic. the towels and sheets aren't great and the whole place feels a bit grimy. the location is good - very close to New Delhi metro station. the showers are hot and there's always someone on reception but yeah, if you want luxury this isn't the place for you. if you want somewhere to crash, then go for it. also be aware that it can be very loud on the streets outside so bring earplugs!

The people in the hostel are especially kind and give good recommendations. Very good pick up service from the airport

Pretty grotty hostel. Although on maps it says it is located at the start of road by the train station the actual location is 500m up the road down a dodgy side street. One morning I woke up and the lane was flooding from the cracks in the floor. Staff were generally pleasant but place overall had rather seedy vibe. Would not recommend.

Hostel Darpan offers a decent stay for families, though it doesn't quite live up to the 5-star expectations. The rooms are clean and functional, but could use some updates in terms of decor and amenities. The staff is friendly, and service is good,

I stayed at Darpan Palace, which offers newly renovated rooms and dorms behind Arakashan Road. The place is clean, affordable, and quiet with free Wi-Fi. The staff helped me with taxis, rickshaws, and train tickets, making my stay hassle-free. Highly recommended for budget travelers and backpackers!
