One night stay in South Delhi

Very nice up market B&B in South Delhi. Service was excellent right from the start. We were welcomed with a pot of tea and cake. The Defence Colony area was notably much greener and quieter than other parts of Delhi. As this was our last night we decided to have the set meal for 1200rs which was amazing.

Excellent stay By Central Market

Great place located close to Lajpat Nagar and the Central Market. Service was great, rooms clean and tidy. It was great to come back to an Air Conditioned room from the humid August temperatures. Rooftop closed for the monsoon months June-August. Very close to the Central Market great for shopping.

Cozy, homey and professional

My second stay at the Colonel’s Retreat and am just as satisfied. Great place to unwind at the rooftop restaurant with a chilled beer beneath the stars. The person who took us in and served us lovely fresh lime sodas and cheese sandwiches deserves a special mention, unfortunately i forget his name. I feel i must mention here that some of the kitchen staff were less than helpful when asked to provide glutenfree options. I felt i was imposing on them and they were uncooperative. However, it was a lovely stay overall.

Very nice hotel everything was clean compare to other hotels. The only problem they had a lot of mosquitoes for some reason they have to take care of that. I think its because too much plants. I recommend they get rid of plants because indian mosquitoes are not safe. There were a lot of mosquitoes repellent but didn't help much. Other than mosquitoes best place and device loved it. I want to go again please remove that plants so no more mosquitoes.

Fantastic Accommodations - Defence Colony, Delhi

From the moment I arrived the staff made me feel welcomed and appreciated. The airline lost my luggage, I was hungry and exhausted when I arrived. The staff offered tea while they prepared lunch and I settled in my room. They continued to assist with locating my luggage until it was delivered the following day. Delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Very comfortable bef, hot shower, free wi-ri, toiletries and EXCELLENT customer service! I highly recommend a stay here.

Comfortable Stay

We were well taken care of at the Colonels Retreat. The place is located in a quite neighborhood in chaotic Delhi which we appreciated.The place is clean and well serviced. The hosts checked in with us every morning and the staff took care of all our requests. A real treat and great value for money. As a recommendation for other travelers, we found taxi services hailed via OLA and Uber to be cheaper than the ones arranged by the guesthouse for airport drops.
