Everything was perfect

Stayed in October 2022

Does not have a swimming pool but not really important

Staff, amenities, location, comfortable. Big rooms, attached kitchen, bathroom and another bigger shared kitchen. Hosts were excellent and very cooperative and went out of their way to make stay comfortable. Outstanding value for money

Nothing - everything was perfect!

The best part about this homestay are the family that own it. We felt so welcome when we first arrived. They went above and beyond to help us with anything that we needed - information about how to use the metro, places we should visit, how to get to places, where the nearest shops/atms were, what taxis to use from the airport and what cost we should expect to pay, booking us a taxi to get to the train station… the list goes on! Our room was perfect. We had breakfast with the family every morning and it was different every day so we got to enjoy different food. We also booked a food walking tour of Old Delhi with Sager who had a wealth of knowledge of the area and took us to many traditional food places we would have never found on our own. The food was delicious and it was a fantastic introduction to India as first-time visitors. We hope we can come back soon! Thank you so much 😁

A excellent introduction to Indian culture. The whole family made us very welcome. Sugar took us on a old Delhi walking tour which is highly recommended. We also had cookery lessons which was very interesting. The food was very tasty. We got a deeper understanding of the Indian culture. Highly recommended stay. We couldn't thank the family more.

Staying at Prakash Kutir with the Gupta family was for us the perfect introduction to India. We and our two boys (9 and 12 years old) absolutely loved it. The rooms were comfortable, the food was DELICIOUS and the support that we received from the Gupta family was exceptional. The location was perfect, in a calm and green area, with easy access to the metro line. We originally planned to stay 2 days, but extended to 5, and will come back!

Laundry service was a bit more expensive than we were used to elsewhere in India. The twin beds were not so easy to join together because of their elaborate wooden frame, even though we had asked beforehand about this. They did as well as they could though and it was a minor problem for only 2 nights.

The B&B is located in a family's home in a very nice and safe neighborhood. They made us feel very welcome and all of them got involved, making it feel almost like a homestay. Breakfast was great, with auntie whipping up chapati after chapati from the kitchen while the table was filled with food. Beautiful and comfortable room, laundry service provided. They have a list of activities they are happy to help with and organize. Would definitely stay here again when in Delhi!

That despite having a big balcony that came with my room I couldn't enjoy it because of the hot weather during my stay in Delhi.

Prakash Kutir's location is excellent - centrally located from all sightseeing and shopping spots. Hosts go out of their way to make your stay exceptional.

Variability in pricing. Online and offline pricing is different, and surprisingly, offline is expensive.

Well connected, super clean place with homely vibes. Recommended to those who are travelling with their families.

Overall a wonderful stay. The shower was a little dirty but that was my only complaint

I loved the hospitality and welcome. Very responsive on Booking and just a beautiful family. In a lovely area, so easy to walk around and gather food and supplies.

After arriving from Nepal (and being picked up from airport which was organised by the b&b) straight away when arriving it was money, money, money (pay for the taxi now. We hadn't even sat down in the lobby. I had to ask if we can at least check in 1st. We had a 3 night stay so we weren't going anywhere fast!. To this a reply was the atm is 50 metres away! It really annoyed me (they had very little English too - which if your gonna run a b&b then it would make things alot easier. Then another thing on check out, the lady tapped her tip box and said you can tip if you want. Just very money orientated and it's very off putting

The beds were comfortable and the set up of the b&b was cute where the rooms were Easy access in and out and breakfast the one time we managed to have it was lovely and fresh

I have hesitated in writing this review, but the discomfort I felt has persisted and perhaps this feedback will be useful for the home owners. I have traveled extensively in India and have felt warmly welcomed everywhere. This was the exception, unfortunately. I am always an early riser and when I would show up for breakfast at the posted time, I was greeted with a scowl and what felt like a begrudging tolerance of my presence. I started to make tea upstairs and purposely wait to go down and eat because I felt that I was imposing on the family. That was uncomfortable for me. When I opted to eat dinner at home, I was asked to pay immediately - before finishing the soup. It felt abrupt. The second night, I stayed in my room and skipped dinner as it was so unpleasant. The day I left, there was no help with my bags or any goodbye. The driver that rang the bell was kept waiting for 30 minutes and nobody came to let me know the driver was there. I know that a homestay is different from a hotel and I didn't expect to have all the amenities I might have, however courtesy was something I had expected (and have received at other home stays in the past.)

It was nice to visit with other travelers each morning - people from all over the world. I enjoyed my room (which was very large) and how every floor has a full kitchen to use. The private bathroom was large and clean as well. I recommend the dinner if you feel like having a night at "home" - as the food was excellent.

We did not experience a warm welcome. The person checking us in unfortunately did not speak English so it was hard to communicate with him. We tried to organise a taxi for early next morning to take us to airport but he did not understand so we gave up trying! We were 2 flights of stairs up and he did not even help us with any of our luggage - he walked up behind us empty handed seeing us struggle. We did not get much sleep due to dogs barking all night - even though the dogs did not belong to the property I feel this is important to mention. The photos of the property must have been taken a long time ago and I feel there are not a true reflection of what the property is actaully like now.

Our room was spacious and it was good to have use of kitchen area. On our first night staying here the family cooked us a delicious meal (even though the experience was ruined by a very small child running round the dining table slamming a metal pot on glass tables very loudly)!

A beautifully made home cooked breakfast. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet.

Your arrogance and twisting of the truth is without limit it seems. This review will be more of a response to the twisted comment from this guesthouse following our first review and feedback. Let’s get the facts right: - I emailed you my already found itinerary (photos below!), I never asked for you to make me an itinerary that I would use elsewhere! - We used a different company than your brother’s because: A: he did not tailor the tour to what we wanted to do and kept insisting on forcing his own itinerary, despite my explanation and providing our own already prepared itinerary. I am sorry but if we do not wish to sip a lassi on a rooftop but would rather go and explore sights instead with our guide, I feel that should be accomodated. B: the price of the tour from your brother went from 600-700$ range over the phone, priced to 689$ in writing, within 15 minutes a further email highlighting a new price of 989$ (for the exact same tour!)was received. Email from your brother: “Correction in the price. It is USD 989 (as per the current exchange rate of USD - INR and valid for the next 5 days). My apologies. All the accommodations are subject to availability at the time of booking. These are personally selected and of the standard of Prakash Kutir or better.” For much less money, we got a wonderful comfortable private 5 days tour with great guides, fantastic driver and 5 stars accommodation for 4 nights (not that this was a standard of hotels that we needed or was important to us but it was clearly a non brainer considering your overpriced option for staying in guesthouses) and, most of all, we got an itinerary that suited us. The one WE asked for and drafted. We are long time travellers and we are more than happy to pay a reasonable price for services but we are not willing to be used as “walking wallets” by the likes of you.

The lady of the house and her husband are sadly the coldest hosts we encountered in 4 weeks of traveling in India. A real shame as the place has tremendous potential but their attitude ruins the experience. Their son seems to be the only person there with Customer Service experience. The already wealthy eldests’ priority seems to be to accumulate money demanding money, money and more money out of the guests (tours, spices, evening meals, transportation…). One of our experiences was about storing luggage in between stays. I must add that I did ask if storage was an option 3 weeks prior to our first stay, no response…. Asked again when we checked in….. was told it would 150 ruppies per bag…. When I asked, numerous times, the morning of check out where I could leave the bags for the storage, I eventually got an agitated response that I had to give her the money “NOW”, I had very little on me and explained “it is 450 ruppies, I can pay you that when we come back for our second stay which is already paid for and confirmed”, to which I was told rudely and aggressively “give me every ruppies you have”and “by the way it is 150 ruppies per bag, per day!”…. By that stage, I still have no answer as to where to store our bags but the demand for cash was clearly desperate and came across as an obsession! Needless to say that with that attitude and ridiculous ever rising pricing for the service, I took the bags away with us and found an alternative solution! Another pathetic reaction from this landlady to share: if you book and pay for a triple room with a toddler on tow (highlighted during the booking), don’t expect that your child will be able to get a fried egg or something other than the standard breakfast spread (too spicy for a European toddler) because she will refuse. Staying somewhere like this will give you the wrong impression of Locals. Luckily we were at the end of our trip… but I can not recommend this place to anyone.

Nice neighbourhood

The host family were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. They organised things for us, got up early for us and put an extra bed when we needed it. The location is close enough to walk to 2 different train stations. The home cooked breakfast was excellent too.
