We came in late after midnight so the cab driver had a hard time finding the place. Going down the various streets late at night appeared to be a scene from "Escape from LA", bonfires, strewn garbage, packs of wild dogs and homeless people. During the day and early evening the area is fine. Lots of car part shops and a few blocks over, Jewellery stores but not much else. Walk to metro is about 10 mins a way.
Rooms are simple, basic shower with hot water (that you might have to advise to turn on), satellite TV and free wifi of 512 Kbps speed, able to handle a Skype session or Slingbox stream. Beds are comfortable. Breakfast, if not included is 150 rupees is basic. Chai, egg of some sort, dal with chapatti, toast, jam and cereal.
