This was my first two nights in India as a solo female traveller and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The staff were very helpful, the building is almost inside a sort of compound so everything feels very secure and there's security around. The staff also helped to arrange an airport pick up which worked great. The WiFi was fast, the hot water was amazing and the room was huge with loads of storage. Plus there's an ATM right next door. Breakfast was plentiful and down in the dining area and you can order VERY GOOD food to your room if you don't want to go out at night. Tandoori paneer was delicious! I walked to many of the sites from the hotel but Janpath station isn't far and the metro is very safe - bonus female only carriage. Yes the place is dated and the rooms are basic but you can tell it's been going for years and is a smooth operation. But also, for that price, I really don't know what some people expect ... If you want luxury/modern, go stay in a chain hotel and pay the price for it. This hotel does absolutely everything it needs to. Would definitely recommend!

Genuinely nothing!

The location is excellent. Many places at walkable distance and transportation is easily available. The place is very nice, ample spaces, nice rooms with balcony (we had 2 rooms on the 5th floor), pleasant dining room, many facilities available (money exchange office, tours desk, etc.). The staff is very helpful, every one of them, from the director to the waiters. It's an excellent place to stay in Delhi if you're not looking for a 5 star hotel; keep in mind it's a Y.

Bathrooms need to be remodeled, somewhat improved. But water pressure was good and hot water was available.

I definitely recommend this place for a stay in Delhi. First of all it’s clean. Comparing to other hotels in India which I’ve been to, this one is really clean (as for India standard which is super low). The staff is very helpful. I had a room with a street view so it wasn’t quiet, but you can always ask for a room on the other side of the building. AC in the room works and is very quiet. There is hot water in the bathroom (yes, it’s an exception in India). The pool is located in the nearby sport Center so hostel guests can use it only 1-2h per day as per schedule. It’s not a pool to relax but swim. There is 24h security, which is important as homeless people don’t enter to ask you for money (true problem in Delhi). Hostel is located in nice area, safe to walk alone. Food is Indian, so guests from abroad do not expect typical European or continental dishes. Beds are super comfy and linen clean and nice.

If you’re planning to go to the pool, I advise to wear something more than sexy bikini as you will be watched by locals. Ladies there have full body swimming suits.

The location was ideal, nestled in a safe neighbourhood. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Moreover, the food served was delightful. Overall, a highly recommended experience.

The functionality of the locks was subpar during my stay, and I encountered difficulties reaching reception or room service from my room. Additionally, the window lock was broken. It would be beneficial for the management to address these maintenance issues promptly to enhance the overall guest experience.

I love the old world charm, the pace the feeling of space, its going back to 1990's, location is the best feature of this hostel as proximity to the town center is great, I love this, breakfast and lunch are simple but like home made food, it feels good. Dinner is better however I was having diner outside so did not eat dinner.

With still work going on, there is noise in the day time, my room the phone was not working which was fixed later but that shows it was not checked when room was made ready. There should be drinking water and glasses in the room, this was not there.

Location is brilliant( Connaught Place, Metro, Visa applicstion st VFS , Jantar Mantar) all withinn easy walking distance. The staff were effiicent and attentive. We loved the breakfasts as although there was not a huge choice , there was always a freshly prepared South Indian dish ( idli, puri/ bhajee) as well as the usual porridge, cereal, omlette....so good for veg or Indian veg diets. This is our new go-to place when staying in Delhi.

The beds were lumpy and a little soft. We are used to orthoepaedic matresses at home.

1. Friendly staff - very responsive, and cheerful. 2. Great location 3. Breakfast & other food was good

1. TV in the room did not work 2. Plumbing issues - water closet was leaking / overflowing, Shower didn't work 3. Room location in the property not great - right above a place where debris & waste material was dumped. On one of the days, there was some noisy dumping / lifting going on at 4:30 AM

The location is great. Lots of autorickshaws outside the gate. Staff are extremely polite and helpfuL. The standard room is basic but clean & comfortable. Breakfast has both Indian and continental options . Left luggage option is handy. Very impressed with quality of the staff. Thank you for a seamless stay.

Excellent location, courteous and helpful staff, clean and safe. YMCA Tourist Hostel has a homely ambience, the rooms are basic but comfortable and the dining facilities are adequate. This is the reason I have been going back to this place each time I've been in New Delhi for the past fifty years.

The plumbing could be improved and the breakfast could have more on offer.

Location, Ambience, Hospitality, Service and Food.

The rooms ( walls and fittings) require a facelift .
