Hotel Godwin Deluxe is a no-frills budget hotel near New Delhi railway station, and its job is to get you to your train and to the city’s sights without costing much. Paharganj, the neighbourhood around it, is a famous backpacker quarter, with narrow lanes of shops and cheap cafes, and it is lively day and night. Connaught Place, the Metro and the main railway station are all close, so early departures for Agra or Jaipur by train are easy. The hotel itself is a simple, practical place rather than a destination, with basic rooms and a front desk that can arrange taxis and tours. It suits solo travellers and budget-minded couples, and visitors who want to be within walking distance of the station. The area is noisy and crowded, and some lanes feel rough at night, so choose it if you are comfortable with that, and take sensible precautions with bags and late-night walking.
Location and getting around
The hotel is near the New Delhi railway station, with the New Delhi metro station beside it for the Airport Express and the Yellow Line. Connaught Place is a short walk or auto ride, and the Red Fort is a short metro journey away. Cars can struggle in the crowded lanes, so the metro and walking are better.
Rooms
Expect simple, clean, functional rooms, so check the room details for size and what is included. Air conditioning is worth checking in summer.
Who it suits
Budget travellers, solo visitors and anyone with an early train. It is less suited to families who want quiet or travellers who want to walk home late at night.
Good to know
Touts around the station may try to redirect you to other hotels, so go straight to the entrance. Keep valuables safe, and check what your rate includes. For a calmer, more comfortable budget stay, Bloomrooms at Janpath is an easy step up.
