Excellent stay By Central Market

Great place located close to Lajpat Nagar and the Central Market. Service was great, rooms clean and tidy. It was great to come back to an Air Conditioned room from the humid August temperatures. Rooftop closed for the monsoon months June-August. Very close to the Central Market great for shopping.

One night stay in South Delhi

Very nice up market B&B in South Delhi. Service was excellent right from the start. We were welcomed with a pot of tea and cake. The Defence Colony area was notably much greener and quieter than other parts of Delhi. As this was our last night we decided to have the set meal for 1200rs which was amazing.

Oasis in Delhi

Colonel's Retreat isn't a fancy hotel with a pool. It's in a safe & quiet residential area and it has a "soul". The rooms are a good size, excellent shower and very comfy bed. The staff are lovely, they even when we had an early train offered a takeaway breakfast. They also organised all our pickups and drop offs very efficiently. The roof top restaurant is really nice and the meals offered there are really good. We stayed here for 2 nights and then came back for 1 night a few days later - they stored our luggage for us and it was all ready for us when we got back late at night. Would recommend this hotel.

Small and cozy homestay well located. Beautiful and comfy room with much needed radiator supplying heat on cold January mornings. Staff were top notch and the breakfast and dinner tasty. Arranged transport and check in even after arriving late (close to 1:30 a.m. at airport). Allowed us to store luggage there during the week while we explored Jaipur and Agra. Defintely recommend if youre looking for a more boutique style hotel.

Superb B&B in Defence Colony

The Coronel's Retreat is a little oasis in New Delhi. Although it is a B&B, it is really more like a small boutique hotel. The pictures and reviews online were accurate.

There just room we were in was nice but after returning from dinner it smelled like someone had been smoking in it. The staff quickly moved us but the next room was having the street where dogs barked all night and the mattress on the bed sagged in the middle. I have it a 3 because the staff were helpful, the rooftop restaurant and bar was nice and the building is very pretty.

Cozy, homey and professional

My second stay at the Colonel’s Retreat and am just as satisfied. Great place to unwind at the rooftop restaurant with a chilled beer beneath the stars. The person who took us in and served us lovely fresh lime sodas and cheese sandwiches deserves a special mention, unfortunately i forget his name. I feel i must mention here that some of the kitchen staff were less than helpful when asked to provide glutenfree options. I felt i was imposing on them and they were uncooperative. However, it was a lovely stay overall.

Very nice hotel everything was clean compare to other hotels. The only problem they had a lot of mosquitoes for some reason they have to take care of that. I think its because too much plants. I recommend they get rid of plants because indian mosquitoes are not safe. There were a lot of mosquitoes repellent but didn't help much. Other than mosquitoes best place and device loved it. I want to go again please remove that plants so no more mosquitoes.
