Thikana Delhi ( Boutique B&B)

It was a beautiful oasis. Carefully and tastefully decorated like a home from home. Amazing hosts who were incredibly attentive and utterly charming. Willing and helpful at all times. And their staff are fabulous. I arrived midnight: sneezed a cold beer the host delivered cold beers; I needed rupees and the host was a money changer on the spot (accepting my GBP for Rs on the spot). So much more could ne said. From Help with getting my car sorted, to attending the post office to send items to Uk to restaurant recommendations. All of it was superb.

We stayed at Thikana after two weeks travelling round India and it was a real treat! The whole property is lovely, with large welcoming communal spaces to hang out in, a kitchen providing meals and snacks should you want, and a welcoming team. The rooms are lovely, clean, very quiet, spacious and with everything you might need. We loved staying here and would highly recommend. We were even invited to spend Diwali with the owners (we couldn't make as had plans) and were gifted a little gift - this was such a thoughtful kind gesture and really sums up how lovely this place is! Thank you Thikana :)

Beautiful, clean, tastefully decorated, lovely breakfast and very kind owner - she gave us lots of tips and was great to talk to. The roof terrace was also lovely. A great, tranquil base for exploring Delhi, especially south Delhi. Other guests were lovely and it was nice to have a communal atmosphere over breakfast. Easy to get around every via Uber and Uber Rickshaw.

There was an issue when we checked in - I had requested a change to 2 people and a twin room, but they were surprised when 2 people came. Maybe a communication issue. This was rectified the next day and room changed - all very smooth.

Located within residential enclosure so you can walk around safely and enjoy a few parks. Sheetal and Atul very helpful and Sheetal particularly lovely- she made some nice suggestions for our trip. Also Choptu who cooked all our breakfasts and a great special dinner. Sheetal was also kind after our first visit in old delhi chandi chowk area which was bit shattering. Little hard to find but we took suggestion from Atul and Rohit to get a mobile and indian sim so we could use Uber. that made things much simpler. Really lovely staff but air quality was an issue in late December.

air pollution

The attention to detail was incredible - to personal requests, the layout of the floors, the decor is 5 Star quality with a lovely selection of Indian art and artifacts. The bed huge and comfortable - the shower Hot !!! Sheetal and Atul are beyond hospitable - EXCELLENT does not even describe my experience, with my hope to visit them again very soon !!!

There really was NOTHING I did NOT like but it would help if a few "Take out" food menus and contact info was on site, so you could order in some food. I was not comfortable going out on my own to a restaurant and preferred to eat in with recommendations by Sheetal and Atul. But I hated having to bother them for this information when they may have been otherwise busy. The choices, could have been available in the room, as well as beer and wine options. Deliver was however seamless with the front gate security bringing it to my room and collecting the payment.

It was such a pleasure to have Thikana as our safe and calm base during our stay in Delhi. Rohit the manager and other staff were extremely helpful and accommodating and we really appreciated all their help with arranging car rides etc. Food was great, especially the freshly cooked vegetarian dinner. Would definitely come back and stay again.

This was a proper homestay, where the staff ensure you have the right resources to tour the most interesting parts of the city. Breakfast was intimate, decor was like a beautiful Delhi home. Location is safe & central to many attractions.

Breakfast to be paid in cash at end of stay, where I would have preferred it all together on the final bill.

Loved the bedding, pillows. Such a comfortable night of sleep! Also loved the attention to design details with the patio and plants spread throughout. The staff was also incredibly helpful! When my wife lost her razor, the owner walked me to a local convenience store to go replace it.

Some of the items in our bathroom (room 10) weren’t working properly. Example: the toilet flushing button. Some elements of the property look a little worn down.

Good size room and bathroom , beds were really comfortable, had a fantastic nights sleep ,good choice of breakfast incuding a traditional Indian breakfast which was beautiful and cooked to our dietary needs. Didi the host was extremely helpful with booking train tickets and local information..Rohit helped with our bags to our room and went to the shops for us when we needed a few bits, very helpful .would definitely stay again.

Couldn't find anything to complain about

Exactly as shown in the photos by the host. An awesome location - very calm and serene with lots of greenery around. Very clean with lots of light coming in and full-length windows. The common hall seating space was also very nice - a warm and homely feel to it. The breakfast was just apt as well for us. The host even accommodated to our extra requests for additional food for my family who was flying in the same morning. There are lifts to the top floors which helps a lot especially when coming with lots of luggage. There is a huge park just across from the location - a great way to spend the evening, away from the city rush. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to stay for a few days
