    Hi, I stayed there in July last year for several nights in Delhi. It was a guest house and was basically the top floor of a residential building. 4 or 5 guest bedrooms, each with ensuite, a central living / dining area and a outdoor terrace. There was a kitchen but that was used by the  cook / caretaker. It was okay overall but possibly more glamorous / fresher looking in their advertising. They provided a cooked breakfast and you could order lunch and/or dinner from the cook if you wanted to. No mini bar fridge in room but you could use the big fridge in the dining area. It was in a residential area. Few blocks from the metro. Large shopping mall area about 10-15 min autorickshaw ride away (depending on traffic jams). I was the only guest at yhe time, but it was off season.
    It was good as a place to bring back hook ups from apps etc. Although not sure about anyone staying overnight as I just a had few day visitors. They also offered in-house massage, but none of the men they had available at the time did anything for me.
    I read some posts on gay chat forums in Delhi while I was there that suggested it was a bit expensive (for locals). It seemed ok to me but it was my first time in India. I did notice their tours were bit more pricey than other commercial options, such as for a day trip to the Taj MaMahal.
    And remember it's a guest house so doesn't necessarily have all the hotel frills.
    Would I stay there again - Probably not, but mainly because I realised from that trip that I needed a place with access to a pool to cope with the heat and humidity ...
    Also worth mentioning that the lift only went to the floor below and you had to walk up stairs to the top level. So if you are not good with stairs may be an issue.

    Hi, I tried to book recently on their website but the proper booking pages wouldn't load, despite trying a few different browsers. In the end I emailed them and after exchanging a few emails, booking confirmed. And the pick up etc went without a hitch when I arrived last week.

    Hi, you could also try an app like Scruff - I've got a 2 week trip to Bali booked for June and have already been browsing on Scruff to see who is around locally - and Scruff's location search of Bali seems to work fine for me in Sydnet without a vpn.

    Hi Lucky, thanks for asking. Sadly theres still a travel ban in Australia and although I think being surrounded by hot latin men is essential  I fear the government  wouldnt agree. Plus Sydney is in a lockdown at moment. So even though vaccinated, looks as though 2022 is more likely for earliest travel  for me.

    Fairly new to this site (not yet managed to get up to 10 posts), but while I enjoyed the pics and videos previously posted along with trip reports etc, it's the trip reports that are interesting  from my perspective  because the usually provide tips and options for places I would like to visit. For example, if I get to the Dominican Republic, the posts (once Im able to access the south americas forum again) on the DR gave a wealth of useful info for a 1st time traveller looking for a good time :).

    Hey guys I joined recently and, in response to the quoted post, I've not posted before for 2 reasons. First, still reading through the forums on counrties Im interested in and theres a lot of useful info to get thru! Secondly, can't make any travel plans mainly because (in Australia) theres an overseas travel ban (unless you have an approved excuse) at the moment. But hoping to ask forum posters for advice and tips sometime (probably in 2021 at this stage) when I start planning  my 1st Central/South American trip!
