Where to stay for tourists
Interested in cheap guesthouses, budget hotels, cheap internet cafes in the city? You can find them in the Paharganj area (here you can stay in “Hotel City Star”).
It is very similar to the Paharganj district of Karol Bagh (budget district), the only thing is that it is not so noisy (take a closer look at “Yug Villa” or “Shimla heritage”).
