Delhi, India. 25.07.2013

Friendly staff

We arrived in Delhi early on 25 July. We did quite a lot on the first day. But I wanted to take a minute and recommend the B&B we stayed at. It was close to the airport for convenience, but was far from the city center. Delhi has a great metro system and the end of the line is only a Tuk Tuk ride away. The B&B in a gated community with lots of trees and flowers and a park across the street.

The owner was once a residence of these parts, Woodlake to be exact, so it was nice to have something so close as that in common. Visit chhotihaveli.com for more information.
Big clean rooms and a staff of very friendly people. Gopal was our caretaker and cook, both of which he does very well. The innkeeper is Mrs. Surinder Maihi. She left soon after we arrived to visit her son in Mumbai, so we didn't get to talk to her very much, but she was very welcoming.

Bed & Breakfast's are not as common in India as they are here, but they are getting there. It was nice to be in a place that felt like home. Gopal is quite the cook, and we highly recommend having all of your morning meals Indian style. They will, however, make a continental breakfast, but why would you want that? Lunch and dinner are on your own, but they have lots of takeout menus from which to choose, and there is quite a good restaurant just a short walk away, the Flaming Chili Pepper.

The owner has lots of potted plants on the patios and rooftop, and a walk around the complex in the early morning is a treat.
