The Raj at New Delhi Railway Station

The Raj at New Delhi Railway Station Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Raj at New Delhi Railway Station, you immediately understand what this place is about — it’s positioned perfectly for travelers who need to be close to the action without paying three-star prices. This hotel sits right on Arakashan Road in Paharganj, and honestly, the location couldn’t be more practical if you’re arriving by train or need easy access to New Delhi‘s main railway hub. The building itself has that solid, no-nonsense feel that tells you the owners know exactly who their guests are.

The Paharganj Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying in Paharganj — you’re in the thick of Delhi’s backpacker quarter, but The Raj manages to feel like a proper retreat from all that chaos. The neighborhood buzzes with energy, street food vendors, and that authentic Delhi vibe you can’t get in the sanitized hotel districts. You know what’s really smart about this location? Couples seem to get it — they consistently rate the area highly, and I can see why. You can walk to the main railway station in minutes, but you’re also surrounded by local restaurants, shops, and that genuine Delhi street life that makes the city so addictive.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a well-run three-star property — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed without any unnecessary frills. What impressed me most was the attention to practical details. The air conditioning actually works (crucial in Delhi), the Wi-Fi is reliable, and there’s enough space to spread out your luggage without feeling cramped. The bathrooms are modern and the water pressure is decent, which honestly puts this place ahead of some pricier options I’ve tried in the area.

Food and Practical Perks

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty great — they focus on vegetarian and Asian options, which makes perfect sense given the location and clientele. I mean, you’re in India, so why not lean into the incredible local breakfast traditions? The variety was better than I expected, and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. What really sets The Raj apart though is the free private parking — if you’re planning to rent a car or arrive by taxi with lots of luggage, this is a genuine money-saver and convenience that many hotels in this area simply can’t offer.

Why Guests Love It

Look, The Raj isn’t trying to be something it’s not, and that’s exactly why it works so well. You get a solid, comfortable base in one of Delhi’s most authentic neighborhoods, with the railway station practically at your doorstep and the city’s main attractions easily accessible. The 8.4 rating reflects what I experienced — consistent quality, helpful staff, and that rare combination of convenience and value that’s getting harder to find in Delhi. It’s the kind of place where you sleep well, eat a good breakfast, and wake up ready to explore the city without feeling like you’ve blown your budget on accommodation.
