Amaaya GuestHouse: "Simply the Best Kept Secret in Delhi" Top 5 Page for this destination New Delhi Hotel Tip by lynnehamman

Due to the serious transport delays caused by fog in January, we had missed our next onward train connection,and we needed an urgent overnight stay in Delhi. Our friend Ajay (who owns our other favourite guest house, Eleven) recommended this delightful home-stay.It is only three rooms- but WHAT rooms!!!! On the 2nd floor of a very beautiful colonial building in Nizamuddin East, it is a private home, owned by a gracious & friendly lady named Ruuma. Our room was cosy and beautifully furnished. The bathroom had expensive toiletries for guest use. The shower was modern and hot. The beds, we thought, where THE most comfortable beds we had ever slept in on any trip to India-AND it had a hot water bottle tucked inside.
The following morning we woke to a cup of hot chai, the sound of birds, with sun streaming in through the large windows.I went out onto the little balcony- pure delight. Trees, birds and sunshine.
Ruuma gave us the BEST breakfast, served on delicate china- everything about Ruumas place is perfect. I do really recommend a stay here. Having only two rooms available- it is wise to book early.
We eventually had to leave for Rishikesh, and I am sorry that I did not have more time there to enjoy the obvious delights of Ruumas place, and her gracious, warm hospitality.

Unique Qualities: Ruuma has the most perfect garden on her rooftop terrace. It even has a smallpatch of lawn.And flowers and shrubs. The view is lovely.
