The Metrostay at New Delhi Railway station, hotel in New Delhi

Well set in the centre of New Delhi, The Metrostay at New Delhi Railway station provides free WiFi throughout the property, a shared lounge and free private parking for guests who drive.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Metro Stay Hotel, located on the first floor near the New Delhi Metro station, and it was a delightful experience. The location is exceptionally convenient for both family groups and solo travelers. Being so close to the metro station makes it incredibly easy to explore New Delhi's main attractions, without the hassle of long commutes. The hotel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with rooms that are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Whether you are traveling alone or with family, the hotel provides the right mix of privacy and comfort. The staff is courteous and always ready to assist with any requests, which adds to the overall positive experience. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi, which was great for staying connected, and the value for money is excellent for the location. One of the best aspects of Metro Stay Hotel is the accessibility—it’s ideal for anyone who needs to be close to the metro system for easy travel around the city, while also being in a quiet enough area to relax at the end of a busy day. Overall, I would highly recommend Metro Stay Hotel for anyone visiting New Delhi, whether traveling solo or with family. It’s a great choice for those looking for a convenient, affordable, and comfortable place to stay.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location for us - we were only staying one night, and it was in the middle of the two stations we arrived/departed from. Great info before you arrive to keep you safe in getting to the hostel. Super clean, hot shower, comfy bed, very quiet. Rooftop was great for breakfast, delicious omelette.

    Probably the best hostel in Delhi. Superb team of friendly, helpful staff, a very sociable atmosphere, with close proximity to Laxmi Nagar metro station, from where you can explore all of Delhi conveniently and cheaply. Lively street outside has a great selection of budget street food and events/tours are on offer most days. The perfect base from which to explore Delhi.

    Stayed in "6-bed mixed dormitory room", quite cheap and practical stay in Paharganj! Clean and comfy beds, located in a quiet backside street away from noise, big lockers, well-functionning hot water, electric plugs and wi-fi. Good budget hostel located near many restaurants and only one minute walking from metro Ramakrishna ashram marg. Thanks!
