India Hotels

Cheap hotels in India are available en masse regardless where your travel plans carry you. Be it a big city like Delhi, Mumbai or a famous holiday beach resort such as Goa the average cost for decent budget hotel to stay should be between 100 and 200 Rs (Rs = Indian Rupees). This is the equivalent believe it or not to 1,25 to 2,50 Pounds Sterling. The same for any of the other major travel cities in India like Bangalore, Chennai, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Agra, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Simla, Pune, Mysore, Darjeeling, Kodaikanal. All these places are worth while to visit and as long as you don’t mind accommodation without air-conditioning the hunt for cheap hotels in India should be the least of your worries.

Easy to imagine if the cheaper hotels and hostels are about 1 to 3 pounds or 5 to 6 dollars a night that even the luxury hotels are cheap and maybe an option for one or the other western budget travellers that comes along to visit India and is used to western European or American hotel rates.

The downsides with most of the hostels and cheap hotels in India are: strict curfews, no options to make bookings in advance, daytime lockouts for several hours you can’t use your bed or room and the lack of air-conditioning.

As in all other holiday destinations of the world, rates can fluctuate depending on seasons. Most tourists choose the winter time between November and March to visit India. Consequently this is the time where prices are elevated. Very easy to pick up the lowest rates of the year is during May and July when the Indian holidaymakers head for the hills to cool off. You will then find even easier bargains in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and beach resorts like Goa.

Good luck with your hunt for cheap hotels in India!
