Budget stay options near New Delhi IGI Airport
If you have a transit via Delhi what is the closest and
cheapest place to stay? Or if you have a few hours to spare, where to go to get
some quick food? From what I have experienced, your best bet is Mahilapur.
If money is not a constraint, there’re many super luxury
hotels close to Delhi airport- Andaz, Marriott and more with free airport shuttle- but these hotels cost
over 5000-7000 INR (around USD 100+) per night at the minimum, hence may not be your preferred
option when on budget trip.
From IGI Delhi Airport’s Terminal 3, you can take airport
metro to next station- Delhi Aerocity. The ride will last about 5 minutes,
train frequency is roughly 10 minutes between trains and cost is about 20 INR
one way (17 if you have metro card)
Once out of Aerocity station, walk towards Mahilapur.
This area has dozens of budget hotels. We spent a night at
WOW Inn, for about 750 INR (about 10-11 USD) a night. You can walk-in, even negotiate a bit with the reception and get yourself a good room. If you prefer to book in advance, most of them are listed on booking.com (search for Mahilapur, New Delhi) If you’re looking for mid range branded, Holiday
Inn is close-by.
Below are some photos of my room at WOW Inn- I guess other hotels will be similar- don't expect super luxury, but should be decent enough to spend a night.

There are a few veg restaurants, non-veg restaurants as
well- you can have full stomach meals for one third of what it costs inside
airport. If you’re planning to go to Mahilapur just for food, you should factor
a time of about 90-120 minutes minimum- to walk to metro station, ticket purchase, wait
for train, train journey, walk to Mahilapur, having food and making your way
back.
If you don’t want to take a metro you can always try a cab
or auto- Mahilapur is about 3-4kms from T3. There’re airport shuttle buses
operating too-from Aerocity metro to T2
Metro timing: Note that metro service will not be available
from mid-night to like 5-5.30 AM. If you’re flight is too early in the morning you
can take auto/taxi.
If you’re arriving in T2, you can just walk across the road
to T3 and take metro. However if you’re in T1, there’s a different metro station
closer to T1-This one is on the pink line

For Delhi’s cheapest place to stay, check my review of Nomadia hostel near GK2- Just 250 INR a night.

DeleteThis was much helpful.
ReplyDeleteThings mentioned on websites like booking.com are misleading, like addresses of hotels are not real and distances are certainly not the same.
