Delhi is not surprisingly one of the most popular cities in India in terms of annual tourist numbers and as you might expect, there are a good choice of hotel options ranging from backpacker hostels through to luxury hotels and recognized international brands. Although in general Delhi is not considered an expensive city, this is certainly not the case where its five star hotels are concerned.
