In past years while in transit through Delhi, I stayed at a resort hotel about 30 minutes drive from the airport. This time early morning flight made it necessary to stay close to the international airport; Hotel Uppal turned out to be an excellent choice. Secured access, well maintained outer and inner greens add to the general ambience of the place. Hotel staff appeared friendly, helpful and ever smiling. Room was well furnished. Bathtub was too deep with very wide platform to climb over, elderly person needs to be careful to avoid a nasty fall. Restaurant menu offers a wide selection of foods, but the service is very slow. The hotel is 10-15 minutes drive from the airport. Prepaid taxi (regular black and yellow) fare is INR230,hotel runs shuttle service to and from the airport, each way costs INR750, so the fare is high. Reception lounge area is quite large with limited seating place for 6-7 people only.
