Raj Mahal Inn Overview
Nestled in the vibrant heart of India’s capital city, the Raj Mahal Inn stands as a welcoming 3-star sanctuary for travelers seeking both comfort and authenticity. Located at 450-452, Chandi Wali Gali in the bustling Main Bazaar area of Paharganj, this charming hotel offers guests a genuine taste of New Delhi’s rich cultural tapestry. With a commendable rating of 7.8, the Raj Mahal Inn has established itself as a reliable choice for visitors seeking quality accommodation without compromising on the true Delhi experience. Paharganj, known as the backpacker’s haven, places guests within walking distance of New Delhi Railway Station, making it an ideal base for exploring both the immediate surroundings and the broader Delhi-NCR region. The hotel’s strategic position in one of Delhi’s oldest and most colorful markets allows guests to immediately immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and aromas that make India’s capital so captivating.
The Raj Mahal Inn embodies the perfect balance between traditional Indian hospitality and modern convenience. As you step through its doors, leaving behind the energetic hustle of Main Bazaar, you’ll discover a tranquil oasis designed to rejuvenate weary travelers.

With its solid 7.8 rating, guests consistently praise the attentive service and genuine warmth offered by the staff, many of whom possess invaluable local knowledge they’re happy to share. From the hotel, guests can easily access nearby landmarks including the magnificent Jama Masjid, the historic Red Fort, and the labyrinthine lanes of Chandni Chowk – Delhi’s oldest and most famous market. For those wishing to explore further afield, Connaught Place, the commercial heart of New Delhi, is just a short rickshaw or metro ride away, as is the serene Lodhi Garden and the imposing India Gate.
What truly distinguishes the Raj Mahal Inn is its authentic positioning within the fabric of everyday Delhi life. Unlike some international chain hotels that could be anywhere in the world, this establishment offers a genuine sense of place. From its doorstep, guests can wander through Paharganj’s fascinating maze of narrow lanes filled with shops selling everything from handcrafted textiles and jewelry to aromatic spices and street food delicacies. The area’s eclectic mix of budget eateries, rooftop cafés, and family-run restaurants means culinary adventures await in every direction. Yet despite its location in one of Delhi’s most dynamic neighborhoods, the Raj Mahal Inn provides a peaceful sanctuary where travelers can process and appreciate their daily discoveries. The hotel’s established reputation, reflected in its positive 7.8 rating, speaks to its consistent delivery of comfortable accommodation, reliable service, and authentic Delhi experiences – all hallmarks of a trustworthy 3-star property in one of the world’s most exhilarating capital cities.

Reviews of Raj Mahal Inn
Wesley from Canada – 26 February 2025 (9/10)

Thakkar from India – 6 February 2025 (9/10)
Cleanliness are good. Nearest to Delhi Junction railway station. Fully satisfied to stay here.
What could be improved: Vehicle cannot able to come at door place of the hotel. Narrowest way from the axis bank atm on main market road.Cathryn from United Kingdom – 3 November 2023 (9/10)
My room at Raj Mahal Inn was beautiful – really comfortable bed, very clean and lovely bathroom. Lovely big windows – and everything you need. It was very quiet and I slept really well. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Jennifer from South Africa – 21 October 2023 (9/10)
The bed was most comfortable. Hot water. Very helpful staff.
Ntinyari from Kenya – 12 October 2023 (8/10)
Courteous staff and prompt in service. The room was clean to the stardards of the money paid… good location without noise at all in the room. Food was good but expensive, not to the stardards of the money paid. Albeit far from my exam center, but they helped me get a bike and quite affordable. Good value for Money! I enjoyed my stay.
What could be improved: Just outside the hotel so many people and idlers…. being a lady and new in the place I didn't like how the people outside handled strangers…I chose to stay indoors if not going out for something important.but that's not the hotel's problem. Expensive food, but looks cheap! Anyway, good value for Money.Jennifer – 22 March 2023 (8/10)
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Raj Mahal Inn, I stayed previously and would definitely return if visiting Delhi. The Staff are all very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is within minutes of the main bazaar but set back from the busy streets. I used their airport pickup service which was very reliable. A home from home.
What could be improved: Everything was just fine.Peter from United Kingdom – 15 February 2023 (9/10)
Owner and staff extremely helpful, the beds were very comfortable. Positioned very near the main bazaar but on a less hectic side street. Well maintained tidy premises. Front dest personnel very helpful if any problems arise. The rooms are competitively priced.
What could be improved: The roof terrace is tidy and well maintained but a few tables and chairs would make it great place to sit in the good weather.Samia from United Kingdom – 28 December 2022 (8/10)
The location is not in the main road but this is just a minute walk from the main road hence the rent is almost half. However, the staff took care of transferring our luggage. And the location is not middle of no where, there are other hotels and restaurants. The only thing is the hotel doesnot have 24×7 hot water. They turn the boiler on twice. However, on request, they turn it on as well. The hotel is safe for family.
