Although at first glance this hostel is intimidating (we arrived at night), it is very safe and the staff was friendly. The hostel is in the main bazaar, so it's definitely an experience. Thank you to Deepak Singh and the rest of the staff for a great introduction to India.

I stayed at Smyle Inn as a single, female traveler (from the US), so safety was my number one concern. The staff organized all my trips for me, which was great! They were incredibly accomodating and also sympathetic when my luggage was delayed and when I had an issue with one of my tours. Smyle Inn is right in the heart of a big bazaar, which can be both overwhelming and exciting. The facilities are average; you get what you pay for! They're livable. The breakfast is always the same.

Not the best place I ever stayed in! The room was small (but with a big bed!), I didn't have any rubbish bin, bed sheets, towel or anything. I've had better value for money in India, even at big tourist places such as Agra. The breakfast that was included was a great extra and the location was very good, in a safe area near the train station and subway stations.

Great place to stay in Delhi! Right in the heart of Pahar Ganj but just off the main street so it feels quiet from your room. I was a bit concerned about the 'alleyway' it's down at first sight, but soon realized its always full of people and shops down there so felt safe enough. The room was clean and fairly big and the bed was massive! Nice bathroom with good shower. Staff are lovely- friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was nice, to say its complimentary it was better than expected!

In the heart of Paharganj crowded area, so you can get everything around, and only 15 minutes walk from New Delhi Railway Station. Hostel are standard with full feature, but AC in my room was not working. Average room is clean, even I saw few bed bug in the wall of the bath room. But with this price, everything is good.

Great place to stay. I really enjoyed the hostel, the people of the staff and the great location in Delhi. The cleaness of the place is really good, nothing compared to the dirtiness of the city. So, just stay here, it's really worth it.

This is my 3rd time here, it s very nice place, quiet for paharganj and near by everything, a couple of blocks from the train station and the metro station. I asked a nice room and they gave me one big room with ac and fan, no window, but good. Everything worked fine and as I left early they prepared me something for breakfast, that was very kind. So I highly recomend this place

When I arrived they charged me more than the original price. Then they gave me a room without AC and charged me even more to change rooms. This place is extremely NOISY and in the middle of the ghetto! The staff are somewhat rude and NO hot water unless you ask to turn it on first! Would have been nice to know BEFORE taking a COLD shower! The Breakfast is a joke! The tour guide will rip you off ; your better off going to the Official Government Sponcered Tour Guide in the circle. I left 2 nights

Really great place. Well located near the main bazaar and close to metro which makes it easy to get around. Great wifi in your room. Large beds (if you sleep sideways you can completely fit on it!). Breakfast was quite small but tasty. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

The room we shared (3 people) was very small, no room to walk around, but clean. Had TV, no AC even though the description online said it had AC. Overall, a fine place. Free internet, and super helpful staff member who helped us coordinator our further travels. I would stay here again.

Very good place to stay in Delhi. Especially for short time period. They have good rooms and it clean and have air conditioner with fan. Not so noisy, because it not at main street. I would recommend it for sure.

We stayed in a double room with aircon. Staff were very helpful and professional. The breakfast that was included was fulling and the sweet Indian coffee was worth waking up for! Great location close to a lot of cheap restaurants, street food and metro. I was initially concerned when I read the hostel was down a lane, but after arriving and seeing that the lane was all lit up and heaps of people including foreigners walking around at night my fears were put to rest. Highly recommend!

Great tours and guides who know what they are talking about and are friendly. The staff were always helpful and never had a problem there. The location in the main bazzar is close to most things in Dehli however the bazzar doesnt really feel safe at night time and is quite dirty. As for the inn itself, you can't fault it. The atmosphere isnt good for meeting people, theres no bar. The rooms were always clean and felt safe in the accommodation and the price is really cheap for the big rooms.

As a solo female traveller in the heart of Delhi, I felt safe and secure in this hotel. The value for money in my opinion was spot on and the staff were very friendly. I stayed here twice in my trip (before and after a tour of the golden triangle) and have recommended it to fellow travelers who stayed there on my recommendation. If I come back to Delhi I would use them again.

Nice place tucked away from very busy main bazar road. Minutes from New Delhi Railway Station. First room we got had a broken sink and was smelly. But after we told them we were given a better room for the same price and they instantly took care of the problem and fixed it. Very helpful and friendly staff always ready to help with whatever issue. Well working wifi everywhere. Helpful traveldesk. Good breakfast included. Stayed elevon nights. Never felt the need to change. Rcommended!

I had booked the hostel but the staff upgraded me at no cost to the Smyle Inn hotel which was nearby and had better facilities.Request for a taxi and wake up calls were carried out efficiently. Allum the manager was very friendly. The western style breakfast was served at the hostel and was ok. Surprisingly quiet place!

Great location in the heart of a crazy Indian bazaar! Also really close to the train and underground station. Staff were great and even helped us book our trains. Nice clean rooms too, and a good free breakfast!

Hotel is split in two buildings - coordination between the two receptions and the travel desk was rather poor.
