Holiday Inn Express New Delhi International Airport T3 by IHG

The location can’t be beat—it was just a five minute walk to the international check-in area. The staff meets you just as you exit the baggage claim (assuming you arrived in New Delhi on a domestic flight, eg from Ladakh. Akash was particularly helpful as he sorted out a snafu between Delta and Air France by meeting the Air France representative. He was so helpful. Just follow the “hotel” signs in the airport and then call the hotel when you reach the hotel security screening area. It is probably an oxymoron, but this is by far the best Holiday Inn anywhere. It is MUCH more upscale that Holiday Inns in the US. Very modern, great wifi, and quiet/dark room to get much needed sleep.

This is the only affordable hotel in the airport. After a long flight it is a perfect location really helpful staff and good food with restaurant that serves all hours. Clean comfortable and lots of hot water. All you need for lay over. Make sure you understand which wing you need to be in. Domestic Wing- for those travellers arriving landside- so either international travelers who have flown into Delhi airport but who have NOT checked their luggage straight through to onward destination (so you will need to pass Indian immigration - evisa needed in for UK passports - to collect your bags. Holiday inn desk is on the right after baggage claim. You will need to show your onward flight booking that Must be departing from T3. If unsure the hotel booking staff were really helpful, the international wing is if you are genuinely in transit - so your baggage e has been checked through to destination so you dont have to pass through immigration,

Very clean and the bed was super comfy. The food was also good. The room itself was very modern and the shower was really good. Conveniently situated in the airport and easy to find (if you refer to the map provided on booking.com

We stayed on the Domestic side, since we flew on a domestic flight to Delhi and had an international flight the next morning. The hotel is the only one in T3. I booked it, because we had a flight at 8 am, which was switched to a flight at 3 am, so I was very happy to already be at the airport at that time. Once we got hold of staff to help escort us in, they were very helpful and nice and took us through the whole process of getting the bags scanned for security reasons. The hotel itself was clean and check in and check out was straightforward.

Excellent location staff, room and cafe
