Thikana Delhi ( Boutique B&B)

This is my first homestay in our India golden triangle adventure and left a super great impression. A summary on why I would highly recommend this place 1. The feeling of safety is top notch - place is well guarded and gated. 2. Hospitality is beyond what I've experienced even in five star hotel. Rohit, one of the business ***ager has all the answers to my Qn. He's considerate, courteous and gives down to earth advise. The crew are offers a very light touch in their services and they are always so swift in their work. I.e. our breakfast table is cleaned up so fast and food is served so fast , but yet all done with a quiet respect , giving alot of personal space to us. 3. All this cannot be done without the leadership of owner Sheetal and Atul. Sheetal is a very gentle lady, very warm and very hospitable. 4. We are offered the whole space to roam around, it feels like home. Love this feeling. Highly recommend!

An absolute must stay in New Delhi! We stayed one night and wish we had booked more time as soon as we entered the property. Delightfully retro, beautifully decorated with ***y places other than your room to relax. There's a rooftop garden area and various living spaces to read and peruse your forward planning. Our room was just off the main living area and had a large comfortable king size bed, fluffy pillows and ample space in the room including a spacious bathroom and pretty potted garden outlook. The area is very safe being gated and 'personed'. A well to do neighbourhood. We met Atul just prior to partaking in the offered evening meal which is a must do. Freshly prepared dishes that were all so delicious as was breakfast with good options for both western and Indian. There are also options for snacks in-house if the environment you find yourself in is all a bit too comfortable to leave. I accidentally left a charger the next morning on our departure but fortunately we were returning to Delhi and Atul kindly had it delivered to our accommodation. Lifesaver! I highly recommended the peaceful ambience and general feel of this delightful accommodation. Do yourself a favour.

Hotel owners and staff are the best I’ve come across. It feels like a home from home experience. The food breakfast and snack menu is amazing. The staff have been very helpful and you can go down to the local curry house and it’s really cheap and clean.

Thikana offers excellent service and care. One of the most cosy rooms that we have found in Delhi plus its really safe for the family. Their staff is extremely helpful and they go out of their way to make sure your stay is comfortable. This is going to be our go too place in Delhi from now on.

If one desires sincere hospitality , care and comfort, this is the place to be. I first booked because of the reviews and closeness to the airport. Everything is done with the utmost planning and love even to the placement of the art work. The breakfast is amazing and prepared by Chotu who seems always there anticipating our needs. When we ordered food from a take out, we were so surprised to see our Chotu setting up plates for us in the dining room. Upon completion of our stay in India and arriving from a late flight, the owner knocked on our door to offer us a light snack. We so enjoyed every bite. I must give a high five to Rohit the daytime ***ager and Chotu who took care of every need. It is quite evident that all the staff feel part of a family. For a driver I strongly recommend to use Raj. Please request him. He is a decent *** and felt an immediate connection with him.

I stayed for the second time at Thikana last week. The breakfast is really the most incredible I've ever had, so much variety, best quality ingredients, special requests. I've stayed in five star hotels around the world and the extensive choices get a bit predictable. The meusli, ***y types of yoghurts, every kind of milk, the bacon, eggs, fruit, sweets. At Thikana they prepare special local delicacies (such as a tiny local waffle with home made jam and cream, yum!) that can or cannot be spicy, depending on your taste, interesting local fruits, any kind of hot drink. It's really special and I'd book for that alone! It's not far from Hauz Khaz market and the dentist I come to Delhi for. The host is gracious and has excellent taste in art work, all collected personally. I'd highly recommend this as a home away from home experience.

Thank you for another lovely stay. It was short as we had a flight in the middle of the night. Rooms are simple, charming and clean. We love the rooftop deck too. Great family that owns the place. Fairly close to the airport too. We have stayed here several times when we came to Delhi. Highly recommend.

The beds are comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious and the hosts are gracious and welcoming. Thikana is a great place to stay. It is ideally located so all the amazing archeological sites and markets are easily accessible.
