In New Delhi, we stayed Hotel Bright at M-85, Connaught Place | opp. Super Bazar, New Delhi 110001, India (Minto Road).
It was not love at first sight. But don’t let first impressions fool you. When I first saw the hotel from the outside I was disappointed. Getting to its entrance was also a turn off, through a road construction, a narrow staircase, then a mezzanine with abandoned furniture. But when we pushed the door to the hotel, we were transported to a peaceful place.
Our room had everything we needed – it was clean with comfortable beds, free wifi, cable tv, plenty of hot water in the shower, ayurvedic soaps and lotions, choice of breakfast. The hotel is also a few meters from Pizza Hut (for those who crave for familiar food), Haldirams's (great for Indian food and sweets) and diagonally across the hotel is a bazaar where we got khurdas and pashminas at very good (cheap, as in cheap) prices.
But the best part is the excellent service. The staff catered to our every whim like breakfast at 4 AM so that we could leave the hotel at 5 AM to get on the 6 AM train to Agra and getting our old room back when we got back from Jaipur. They even let us leave some of our luggage with them free of charge for the period we went to Agra and Jaipur.
They got us good car hires with English speaking and knowledgeable drivers. They even got us the menu from a nearby restaurant so we didn’t have to go out and just order from our room when we’re too exhausted from all the sightseeing.
There’s only one more thing I could ask for - I hope they would change their soft fluffy towels to more absorbent ones.
