To sum up in a line - it is a home away from home.
Vandana Thapar is an awesome host. We simply loved her. The home was perfect for us. We were very much contended & there are no regrets at all. Thank you Vandana di!!!

Home Away From Home
This was my first experience of B&B; in India and well worth it. Vandana keeps a very clean and well managed property. Her staff are well trained and she makes every effort to make your stay in India enjoyable and comfortable.She helped organise an excellent trip to Rajasthan keeping our budget in mind. My elderly father thoroughly enjoyed his stay there as well.

Trust this Lady
Like the other reviewers I was nervous about booking informally especially as I had to pay in advance. However a few calls to Vandana(V) convinced me to trust her . Everything went as planned. Myself and my son felt that we had a safe base to explore Northern India where we were strangers in a strange land. The property is situated in a middle class urbanisation with 24 hour security. Five minutes away is a modern shopping centre where you can eat and shop in familiar chains (Tgif,Mc D etc). A new Metro station (about 100R taxi away) can take you direct into the centre of Delhi. V will organise drivers and taxies if you want them and she got us the best value. She is in the background helpful but not intrusive.

Awesome
We came over for the Commonwealth Games and had a fantastic time, the house and room was clean and tidy. The service was great and extremely friendly. The host was very helpful with information on venues and attractions. Overall we had an awesome experience!

A lovely apartment and an even lovelier lady
If you a looking for slice of sanity in Delhi, then this is a good place to stay. A short drive away from most major monuments the apartment is maintained to a high standard and is located in a secure gated complex. Our host Vandana was great and is a great source of knowledge and information about Delhi. I visited with my parents, my wife and my son and all were made to feel very welcome. I would definitely go back on my next visit.

Dream host come true
It was like being at home in a very foreign land. Vandana is the dream host come true. The service and cleanliness were superb. Location is not an issue in Delhi, you are always far from everything no matter where you choose to stay. The only thing we did not like was the particularly hot weather and the mosquitos that welcomed us, but Vandana should not be blamed for that.

Amazing stay in Delhi
We stayed for 2 weeks with Vandana in Delhi whilst attending the Hockey World Cup tournament and had the most wonderful time - Vandana was an incredible hostess, helpful and really made us feel so at home, giving us tips on where to shop, which markets to go to and where to get the best bargains. The guest house is simply furnished but homely, spotlessly clean, well located and certainly a better alternative to staying in any of Delhi's hotels at comparable prices. The hospitality shown to us was amazing and we were really made to feel welcome. Each evening on our return from the hockey matches, Vana would be waiting for us, eager to hear our hockey news and all about our day – tea/coffee would be made and we’d all sit around the table chatting until the early hours of the morning. I would certainly recommend this Homestay to anyone travelling to Delhi, rather than staying in a hotel where we would never have got the feel of the real Delhi.
Vanna, you were the most amazing person to stay with and I have the most wonderful memories of our stay with you.

Thank you Vanna
Vandana is a warm, friendly, helpful person who only wants for her guests to have an excellent Indian experience. There can be no better person in India to do this for you. Her home is inviting, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is very satisfying. We were a bit worried when approaching our Homestay but the area outside C9 belies the modern, clean home you find inside. The location is central and is referred to by everyone as "upmarket". All necessities are within walking distance and there is a whole array of transport on tap right on the doorstep. Vandana will never allow you to be ripped off and she encouraged us to experience all that India has to offer (not just the top tourist bits!). She was caring and helpful with regard to our trips out and how to get there - giving us advice on prices to pay and places to visit. I am sure we could not have had a better experience anywhere else in India! Thank you Vanna!

A real home away from home
Driving through the streets of Delhi, we were not sure what to expect, wealth on one side of the road and extreme poverty on the other. Upon arrival we were welcomed as if we had arrived home. Vandana, or Vanna as she became known to us, is a warm and inviting person. Homestay Delhi9 is clean and neat, and instantly became home to us. There are no bells, whistles or frills, just hospitality, a relaxed atmosphere and a pleasure to come home to after a hectic day out. Vanna will suggest places to go to and how you should get there, and arrange transport if you should need it. Once 'home' we spent many hours talking about everything including the hockey. We were there for the Hockey World Cup and Vanna watched all our games on TV! If I were to go back to India, maybe for the Commonwealth Games, I would not hesitate to stay at Homestay Delhi9 again. It was a real home away from home.

Unbelievable!
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. India is definitely an experience rather than just another tourist destination and staying at Delhi9 Homestay adds to this amazing experience. This house is spotlessly clean, it feels so homely, lots of free advice, great breakfasts and incredible converstations with our host. Vandana is amazing, after just a few hours we somehow felt like family. I honestly cannot speak highly enough. If you do not stay here then you will have missed the best Delhi experience out there! We will definitely return at some point!

Vandana has exceeded our expectations
Vandana has exceeded our expectations for maintaining a clean, safe and secured environment. The location of this home is perfect. Upon our arrival, she took us around and got us familarised with the stores, restaurants, shopping malls and nearby surroundings. She helped us to settle down comfortably at her place. Vandana has made us feel like a part of her family. We have been enjoying delicious home-cooked meals everyday. She is very helpful, caring, knowledgeable, and resourceful. We highly recommend this place to any domestic and/or international travellers.

Highly recommended
Homestay Delhi9 is exactly what it says on the tin -- a home away from home. A generous and extremely helpful hostess makes it all the more attractive. Highly recommended.

Memorable and unforgettable
Vandana you made my stay in Homestay Delhi9 memorable and unforgettable. Though I stayed for only 4 nights but now I am sure I will be visitng more often when I am in Delhi. I highly appreciate the extra mile you took to make feel home away from home.

Thank you Vandana for your great hospitality
We completely enjoyed the 2 weeks time we stayed at in Homestay Delhi9. Special thanks to you for making my mother feel at home and keeping her company. I miss the morning tea and reading the paper in the balcony. Everything was comfortable, clean and spotless. I am looking forward for another opportunity to visit Delhi and stay at Homestay Delhi9 in the near future.

Thank you Vandana for your great hospitality!
Staying in Homestay Delhi9 made me feel like at home! Everything was comfortable and very clean and with all the services provided in an excellent way! My long stay in India couldn't be better than this and I really enjoyed your company. I'll definitely come back next time. Thank you very much for your incredible kindness!

Beautiful and homely environment
It was my first time in India and the first impression about that country and the people will really last forever in my mind. Have never had such great hospitality and kindness in a foreign environment hence my six days duration in India and Homestay Delhi9 felt even more like home. I even wished for an extended stay just to enjoy more of the clean and well kept guesthouse and to continue being pampered by Vandana's love, kindness and caring nature. If another opportunity would avail its self, I would not hesitate to be booked in this beautiful and homely environment.

My husband and I stayed in this apartment for 4 months, from January-April, and were joined by my parents for half of that period. There was plenty of space for the four of us, as the bedrooms are a good size, and there is a large office and balcony on the second level. The neighbourhood is quiet and pleasant, with a big park for walkers and joggers nearby, and easy availability of autorickshaws and taxis. The apartment was kept spotlessly clean by the wonderful live-in housekeeper, who also cooked delicious meals for us. Vandana, the landlady, is extremely welcoming, and gave us lots of helpful information about where to find local shops, restaurants and services. The atmosphere is as if you were staying with a family friend, rather than in a hotel.

I stayed with Vandana in Delhi whilst I was passing through. I had a wonderful time - Vandana and her assistant were both immensely helpful and really made me feel like I was at home. The guest house is simple but homely, reasonably well located and a much better alternative to staying in one of Delhi's hotels at comparable prices. What makes it the most worthwhile however is the hospitality. You are really made to feel welcome and I had a lovely dinner with Vandana and her assistant in the evening, at their kind invitation. Definitely worth a try.
