When traveling to areas of the globe at the bottom echelons of tourism civilization, the hotel prices increase exponentially while quality decreases in tandem. The Lonely Planet normally breaks down hotels by Budget, Midrange, and Top End. There ought to be a "Shithole" category for India. In no other travel guide have I read about any city's lodging so many terrible things. Originally (and still primarily) a tool for "backpackers", the editors of the Lonely Planet usually have decent things to say about the budget accommodations. Not true for New Delhi.

I had my doubts when we were planning our little excursion to this city because of the potential that it be just a smaller version of Mexico City. The almighty Lonely Planet however touted that this place be a great place to spend a weekend because of the weekly festivals and street parties. We were once again not disappointed with the LP advice...
