Minimalist Poshtel & Suites

Location is horrible. Breakfast is just aweful. Pictures are misleading. The entire place gives shady vibes. Okay for backpackers I suppose but definitely not a couples’ or a family stay. Looks decent online but not worth the price at all.

Horrible place We arrived and discovered that the rooms were full of mold with no ability to breathe and no windows for ventilation. Our clothes become wet from the humidity. We left after three hours because we were afraid for our health and we were not refounded even a part of the payment.

Do not stay here. They will rip you off and you will have a bad stay. The hotel is on a side street. No cabs or Ubers will go there. You will have to drag your luggage a few blocks to get any transportation help. They offered us a bbq. It was comical how bad it was. They told us it would be exclusive to our group, but then they let other guests join us. They then overcharged us for the evening. We paid up front, as they told us if we did, we could lock in a better rate. We overpaid. By our accounting, they owed us about $700 USD. They did some creative accounting and told us they owed us about $500 USD, and then they never paid us. We have resorted to contacting a lawyer and are in the process of suing them to reclaim our money. We had to go to a lawyer as they do not reply to our repeated emails asking them to talk to us. AVOID THIS PLACE

Do not stay here. They owe us hundreds of USD. We had booked months in advanced for a larger group before paying they confirmed that if we needed to scale down our reservation we could easily receive a refund. Two months before travel we downsized. They recommended we keep a tab open in case we had additional charges. When we checked out, they had over charged us for rooms, they had inflated room service, refusing to share receipts until pressed and then the receipts did not account for additional costs. While on our stay they through us a horrible BBQ on the roof over an hour and half late, the manager invited his friends to the event we paid for, hardly enough food for us. All in all rude customer service. Stay away, india has many beautiful options; with real hospitality. Also you can NOT get a cab here. Still waiting to be reimbursed….

Difficult to know how to review this place. I stayed in a capsule for two nights. It’s not for the faint-hearted - small space (obviously) with a locker (you need your own padlock) single bed, shelf, light and fan and that’s about it and just a curtain separating you from the others. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but it was incredibly noisy and stuffy, not to mention loads of noise from humans cars and dogs outside. First night came with very little sleep. I’d got used to it by second night but my next door neighbour went to sleep with his light on and phones kept going off etc despite the hotel’s polite notices to shut up and go to sleep at 10pm. Shared bathroom was just about ok, but no hot water on day 2. All in all, you’re at the mercy of the other residents - either they get that this is a shared space that needs considerate behaviour or … they don’t. Not sure how comfortable I would have felt being a woman in a mixed gender space like this either. On the plus side, I found the busy staff very friendly and diligent, and the breakfast at a local cafe a few steps down the road was lovely. There’s also a nice roof terrace and kitchen up there. Is it well-priced? There are posher rooms upstairs for up to £100 a night or so, so the £15 I paid per night for the capsule feels about right. This is Hauz Khas Village, after all, where everything’s expensive. An interesting experience … but not one for the faint hearted. I wonder what they’re like in Japan.

The staff here is friendly and I'd like to give them a good review, but unfortunately I can't. The rooms are ok but don't look anything like the pictures, and are not worth the price. The hotel itself is hard to get to - cabs can't go all the way to the front door, so be aware you'll need to walk for a couple of minutes if you have large suitcases. Also, the neighborhood is very loud. Lots of barking dogs and noisy guests, and on one night they had a party on the top floor that made the whole hotel sound like a club. Also, DO NOT pay for their airport pick-up service. We did this and received an email saying they would follow up with information about the driver and the car, but they never did. We ultimately couldn't connect with driver and had to find a different cab that ended up charging us 2x as much. Like I said, the staff at the Minimalist is nice - they're the only reason this review isn't one star. That said, I would recommend staying basically anywhere else.
