Finally, A perfect Small Hotel in-Delhi

Finally, a perfect small hotel in Delhi

It was desperation that drove me to Red Maple Bed & Breakfastin Delhi ... but delight that kept me there! In January, I was staying with friends in Gurgaon, a huge, new suburban community south of Delhi, and the temperature kept dropping and dropping. One day, it hit a 50-year record low: high of 9 C. and low of 2 C. Now, you might be thinking, "She's Canadian, what's that to her?"

I knew about the Red Maple from Canadian friends of mine who stayed there, including Janice Waugh of Solo Traveler. But it wasn't until I got there and met owner Harminder that I fully understood the name of this charming small hotel is in homage to Canada: red and white are the colours of the Canadian flag, and the maple leaf is one of our symbols, if you don't know. Canada has inspired the Red Maple in other ways, too.

To me, Red Maple Bed & Breakfast is the perfect option in Delhi, especially for solo female travellers. It's safe, clean, well-run, well-located and has everything you need. Plus, you feel that you are staying in a real residential neighbourhood, with local people.
