Colonel’s Retreat

It was a perfect place to stay! I loved the location, food, and service. Everyone was so nice and took really good care of us.

It was just a delight to stay at the Colonel’s Retreat. As others have said, it is located on a quiet side street in a neighborhood so it is away from all the hustle and bustle of Delhi activity. My standard room in the outbuilding was fairly large with a substantially sized bed containing what seemed more like a futon than a standard box spring and mattress. Whatever it was, I had no trouble falling asleep as it was quite comfortable. Breakfast and afternoon tea on the rooftop terrace were included in the room rate, where it was always pleasant even when temperatures reached the triple digits (Fahrenheit). Others have raved about the banana bread, which is quite good, so I will put in a plug for ordering the akuri (a spiced scrambled eggs dish) as your breakfast main. They were consistently delicious. As for the afternoon tea, I don’t even like tea normally yet I looked forward each day to a variety of English teas (with plenty of milk) or, even better, masala chai. The available baked goods are not to be missed. It was a pleasant way to unwind from the day and prepare for the evening. Dinner is also available at an additional cost. It’s good value for the money given the quantity and quality of the food provided. All of the above wouldn’t mean so much if the staff at Colonel’s Retreat weren’t top notch, and they were so much more than that. Everyone was consistently pleasant and helpful, and did everything they could to meet any request. It is my own fault for not getting the names of everyone with whom I was in contact, so I can only make special mention of Mr. Parmod. Without his vigilance, I would very likely have missed my flight back to the states; my compliments to you, sir.

I had an exceptional stay at Colonel's Retreat! The hospitality was outstanding, with incredibly friendly and attentive staff. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The rooms were charmingly decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and they were fully equipped with everything I needed. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. The choice of pillows was also impressive, ensuring that I could find the perfect one for a good night's sleep. One of the highlights of my stay was the beautiful rooftop terrace, which offered a lovely ambiance and delicious organic food. Overall, it was by far the best place I've stayed in Delhi, offering great value for money. Highly recommend it!
