    Don’t go here. The photos used for this place online and on hostelworld are clearly stolen from a hostel of actual good quality, the actual accommodation here is very unclean and dingy, with practically no amenities. This place is very small with no dorms as are promised online, and the staff do not have a reassuring vibe. Upon reading other positive reviews, I am sure they must be fake and payed for by this place, as I would bet that no one regardless of budget or preferences would like to stay here as a first choice. There are plenty of good hotels and hostels at cheap prices in the Paharganj area, but this is not one of them.

    Was surprised because the location in a small and dark alley. But the service is really good, the staff is very helpful and room is clean and great. Location is near from the market, and it's good for shopping and street food, but it's a bit noisy at night because of music sound from the market.

    Great staff! Offered their own time and energy to get me through and out of a scam! It's nice to know people out there have your back. They truly care about their guests. Will help you book and plan your travels throughout India and give their honest and helpful advice. Easy to contact and always reachable via Whatsapp if you're ever in trouble! Offer you transportation options throughout the city to ensure you don't get ripped off. Daily cleaning of common areas, rooms, and bathrooms. AC works well and rooms are very well ventilated. Prime location near the bustling market, yet tucked away so you don't hear all the noise. 5 min walk to two metro stations and the New Delhi train station. Many options to eat including street food!

    Specially if you're a single travel e would not advise staying here. I was kicked out at midnight because they didn't understand my visa.

    The staff is very nice and friendly and its a very central lication. But they dont really clean. If they would put some work into it, it could become a really great place to stay! But now its just an old dirty cheap place

    I cannot mark it worse than one ⭐ because it doesn't let me. Let me tell you, that if you ever visit Delhi IN THE NAME OF GOD DO NOT STAY HERE, IT'S NOT A WELCOMING AREA FOR TURISTS. It was the most dirty, unfriendly, filthy street you can think of. Plus the people working there try to scam you giving you worse rooms than the one you have booked already.

    Literally a scam. Made separate bookings with my friends as i was staying for less days. I got weird emails asking if i was okay and that they were worried about me and to contact them. My friend got no emails or confirmation of his booking. They insisted on picking me up from airport. Then while we approached very dodgy looking guy approached us, tried to lead us off to other property saying they have two. We went to main anyways, he proceeds to tell us that's not the worse property and dangerous at night. it probably is given its down a bendy alleyway. They insisted but we insisted to see the rooms anyways. Worst thing in my life. Four walls that just about fit a bed. We ask him to show our bookings and he is unable. He takes us to another place that is clearly not the same. And tries to show us rooms there. But the whole thing was too dodgy, he couldn't show us our bookings. Ended up just walking off

  • 1/5 Sabine Leuenberger J. 5 years ago on Google
    Horrible. I booked there but had to cancel my booking because I couldn’t stay there. Location is horrible, I was scared to walk there. Room (I booked deluxe) very small, smelly and dirty. Don’t go there.

    It is a good place for hangout and find rooms in low price and good aroma and good service helpful staff.

  • 1/5 Harriet L. 5 years ago on Google
    A few facts about this guesthouse: 1. I booked whilst still in Europe, and was charged 43€/night. If I'd have booked here on the day it would have cost me 13€/night for a private room with ensuite. 2. I reserved a room at Kuldeep Guest House but was taken to a place called "New King" which had a different address. When I addressed this I was told they were "associates" -but fact is, it wasn't what I had reviewed or agreed to. 3. It's in a pretty rough area and up a v dodgy looking alleyway, even if it is within walking distance of Connaught Place (approx 20min). I arrived in the middle of the night by myself which felt a bit risky. 4. The bathroom was a wet room, and whilst it appeared to have been superficially cleaned, there were a lot of stains around and in the porcelain and the shower taps were pretty tarnished. 5. The bathroom window was taped up with a sheet of newspaper, which had a rip in the middle. I couldn't work out whether this was for ventilation or to give anyone in the opposite building/on wall opposite a view of the bathroom. 6. The bed sheets were gray (probably because of the smog) and there was an uncovered blanket. Whilst i asked to a second sheet to sleep between, and received it without issue, this wasn't standard. 7. The transfer from the airport was very expensive compared to the price of ubers in the city (600rupee for the transfer compared to 400rupee for uber). The car was seloptaped together in a number of places and the driver launched us over speedbumps. 8. The lights from the corridor were on all night and illuminated the room, as one of the beds prevented the curtain being fully drawn. 9. At the bottom of the steps coming down from the bathroom there was an "outside" door footmap to wipe your wet feet, which was a bit grim when walking out the wetroom and wanting to get into bed. 10. The shower was hot 11. Staff were friendly until i wanted to discuss the extortionate price I'd been charged just for booking in Europe 12. It was a round bed, but I wasn't a round person!

    Dodgy way of doing business, booked for this hostel but said owner was away, so they directed me to another hostel and wouldn’t give me a refund on the accommodation

  • 4/5 D F. 3 months ago on Google New
    Decent hostel, clean and efficient. Beautiful position to explore the city, warm water, clean sheets and towels.

  • 4/5 tejas g. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to stay for backpackers in very low budget. Rooms are good and comfortable for backpackers.. outside area is not clean but for budget hostel type and backpackers it's good place to stay.. if you looking for comfort and cleanliness and views don't do with this review as it's purely for backpackers only..

  • 1/5 Nat 3 months ago on Google New
    The most disgusting place i've stayed at least in the last two years. The blankets didn't have any covers and were all full of spots of all the colors, including blood (I was feeling bad, so I couldn't go down all that stairs to request anything). Same with the bed sheet and pillowcases (that, surprisingly, existed). In the reception floor i've seen two cockroaches half-palm size. The location is just terrible, both mornings i was waking up to the sound of people vomiting down by windows and going to sleep (trying to) with the sound of people shouting at each other. And yes, it smells like urine everywhere. The workers are not helpful at all. And now when I tried to leave a review at hostelworld I see that they marked the trip as cancelled, not to get that many reviews there, I guess🤔

  • 5/5 Neha H. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are normal, service is quite ok ok. Not so good. They do not have any lift so if you want to go 4th floor you need to use stairs. It's very tiring. Anyway ambiance is good for hostel. Food services are not available. There's pet named alisha. She's cute and friendly 😍 💕 overall it's a budget friendly hostel with a cute pup to play.

  • 5/5 Daniel 1 year ago on Google
    Great hostel in the heart of Delhi! Clean rooms and quiet building away from the hustle of Bazar Rd, huge thanks to Ayush for making me feel welcome 🙏 Daniel, Age 23. UK.

  • 2/5 Michael K. 11 months ago on Google
    Youre better off somewhere else. The first room we booked was not very clean. Especially the bathroom was generally in need of a deep scrub and but when we arrived there were also visible marks that it was not cleaned properly since the person before us left (hair and dried urine spots). We were offered another room which wasnt very clean either (note that it might be the same rooms as in the picture, but just more run down, old and less clean). Then, we were offered a room on the first floor which was adequate. Nevertheless, go to some other place. The location doesnt justify not putting any effort into it.

  • 5/5 Amanarts 1 year ago on Google
    A very good place for a solo traveller, who wants to explore the city and to keep their luggage in the hostel and a place to sleep, staff is very coporative, hostel manager arun kumar guide to explore the city and a very generous man. had a great experience in the hostel.

  • 5/5 Shyam Sharma S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's an alright kinda place, staff are good here and the place is reasonably clean (compared to other hotels). It is centrally located but as a foreigner you might face challenges locating this little shack!!

  • 3/5 Deekshith d. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms were decent but in-charge was very adamant, the roads are quite narrow and to get a cab is quite a difficult task but it's well connected with the metro around it. Not a bad place to stay although.

  • 1/5 Georgia G. 1 year ago on Google
    - same place as New King by Backpackers Heaven. Raj who owns this is extremely pushy wanting you to book a tour with him and lies telling you that all the tourist offices are fakes, and that transport is really hard to book/you will be scammed unless you do it all through him. Four hours later we managed to leave his office. Room was also horrible as the air con dripped on my bed both nights soaking the sheets and splashing on my face and body. Avoid at all costs

  • 5/5 Sneha N. 1 year ago on Google
    Kuldeep friends hostel was the perfect stay for my friends and I. The front desk staff and management were very helpful and friendly. Our large group stayed in the dorms as well as the private room Both of which were in great condition and had all the amenities. The hostel is also located in a great spot since it’s close to most sightseeing/touristy things around the city.

  • 3/5 Richard S. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked via hostelworld. Room was fine. Shower head needs attention. Easy access from airport by subway. At the location it's difficult to find while there are no signs and you relly on strangers sending you into the small slummy streets by the market square. Hope they will provide some message with directions. Staff is helpful and really nice with any qs or taxi, buses n trains, exchange...

    Pros: cheap Good fans in the room Big lockers, enough to fit a 40 l bag Bathroom in the room Towel included WiFi was ok Cons: Location, a bit far from everything and kind of hard to find. Wasn’t the cleanest. No atmosphere General: would recommend for a few nights. This hostel and Backpackers hostel@New King is the same place btw. Their airport transfer is about 200-300 rs more expensive than an Uber.

  • 2/5 Fellipe Fernandes Menezes S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The photos do not portray the place, which is much worse than the images posted on the search and reservation websites / platforms ... It is very dirty, the bathroom I preferred not to bathe any of the days, even having a private bathroom. They don't have a lot of common areas to stay and interact with other travelers. As I didn't go with the planned trip, they offered help to organize and book everything! As I was traveling alone in difficult places, I decided to close with them, and it was only after knowing the average prices in India that I realized how much they had extorted me, making me spend a lot more. The Delhi guide and driver Kp (... Kuldeep Verma!) Were the best part about the hostel. The location in Old Delhi is good, but it is hidden in the middle of the alleys where it is easily lost. It also has no kitchen, which is not good for a hostel. (Original) As fotos não retratam o lugar, que está muito pior que as imagens colocadas nos sites/plataformas de busca e reserva... É bem sujo, banheiro eu preferi nem tomar banho nenhum dos dias, mesmo tendo um banheiro privado. Não têm muita áreas comuns para ficar e interagir com outros viajantes. Como eu não fui com a viagem planejada, eles ofereceram ajuda para organizar e reserva tudo! Como viajava sozinho por lugares difíceis, topei fechar com eles, e só depois de conhecer os preços médios na Índia foi que percebi o quanto me haviam extorquido, me fazendo gastar muito mais. O guia de Délhi e motorista Kp (...Kuldeep Verma!) Foram a melhor parte sobre o hostel. A localização em Old Délhi é boa, mas ele fica escondido no meio das vielas onde facilmente se perde. Também não tem cozinha, o que não é bom para um hostel.

    Scam! Hostel canceled booking from Hostelworld after stay so that no bad review can be left. Owner wants to sell his own tours and talks about his own bookings of trains etc. Badly and presents them as unsafe. The location of the hostel in a narrow alley is unsafe and unclean. Rate against this accommodation!
