Some Basic rulings about hotels Rule 1: You must make reservations in advance, especially in New Delhi, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta. Unlike the U.S,India merchants generally do not have a credit card facility. On the way to small towns, book a few days in advance. You can make long distance calls from one of the "STD" bootharound the city. (In fact, to save money, use of cabs. Hotels will charge extra for long distance calls, especially international). In Delhi, Madras to Bombay, you can have trouble finding accommodation if you had not made reservations 1-2 weeks in advance. Rule 2: In the North you would like a "geyser", which means that the hotel room has an individual water heater. You will not find it in the South. It may take some time to get hot running water in your room to the south, you might want to take cold showers to save water wastage. Rule 3: In the South, you have a ceiling fan. When the computer is off, the generator of the hotel usually does not run air conditioners, but will run ceiling fans. It's a big problem: getting stuck in a hotel without a ceiling fan and the central air conditioning. (The exception is when you are in a "luxury" hotel, the generator will run the A / C for luxury, I mean the Taj, Oberoi, Sheraton, class hotels, etc.). Rule 4: Make your reservations early for your first night in India. Do not arrive without a reservation, as you may get ripped off by taxi wallahs. Once you are done with the basic research your India holidays plan is about to roll.Remaining shall be discussed in our next article. http://www.antilogvacations.com |
