If you get to Delhi stay in the old quarter - old Delhi offers the real taste!
We stayed in the New City Palace Hotel - which is far off being a Palace, but it is right at the Jama Masjid - the great Mosque of Delhi. We had a great view on this magnificent mosque right from our window - you cant get any closer to it with your bed, nor closer with your ears to the callings of the muhezin. By the way, you dont need a clock to get up in the morning ;-)

But the best view over the mosque and actually the complete quarter if from thr rooftop - incredible during sunset!
