If you are looking for reasonable accomodation in the old part of Delhi then try the Prince Palonia. It is a bit better than basic but is air conditioned and is located at the end of the main baazar in Pahar Ganj.
Unique Quality: The roof top swimming pool!!! Wonderful in the morning noon or night and has unbeatable views across Delhi. A real haven amongst the smell and noise far down below. Sheer open aired luxury!!!
Watch out however for the sun and keep the sun block topped up - I got quite badly burned after spending a very relaxing afternoon basking in the pool!

I am going to be in Delhi for a wedding for 5 days and will then have 3 days to 'travel'. It's not a long time but I was wondering what people would recommend in such a short space of time. I think I will have seen most of Delhi...
you could go to agra and fathepur sikri
Delhi has much to see. It is just such an incredibly interesting city- old and new.
A day trip to Agra and Fatehpur Sikri ( rent a car with driver) can be done, to see the Taj Mahal
I have a page on Delhi (link is on my homepage) that lists places of interest and things to do.
The Q'tub Minar Complex is very interesting.

I would say Agra (Taj Mahal and Agra Fort) and Jaipur or Agra and Varanasi. Although it would probably be best if you could squeeze an extra 1/2 day or day to have the minimum amount of time in Jaipur or Varanasi. Have a wonderful time!
I've spent a lot of time in Delhi and surrounding area. I would definitely hire a car and driver as they can recommend the best places to visit. I always use the same driver as he is very knowledgeable and cheap. Oh!he also has a good car which is important in Delhi...... If you wish, you could contact him on 00919818271249 and his name is Shukla
Definitely the "golden triangle" - Agra and Jaipur. hiring a car and driver is a good idea.
If you want a personal driver, who is safe and informative, funny & fairly cheap then I would recommend without doubt that you use the driver that took me and my wife around Rajasthan, New Delhi and to Agra. He also will take you anywhere else you want and you only have to pay him at the end of your trip. He collected us from the airport and arranged hotels that were better and cheaper than the hotels that we were thinking of booking. He was recommended by other people online, and on our next trip to India we will definitely use him again.
He has a modern clean car with air conditioning, gives you a flower necklace when he first welcomes you to India and will stop at interesting places along the journey that many people don’t know about. His knowledge is very good, tells you funny stories and he carries a visitor’s scrap book that is full of recommendations from his previous customers. I would say 10 out of 10!
His name is Mahavir and his mobile cell phone number is +91 9810 324364
It is probably easier to mail him in advance and tell him your proposed plans and he will get back to you when he next logs on to the internet. He is a member on Virtual Tourist too, so check out his travel pages.

Good luck on your travels

You can often leave your dirty clothes at the hotel and get them back the following day.
If your hotel/guest house doesn’t have this service you can always find laundries around the city. It cheap and your clothes are ironed and clean the following day... I saw this "dhobi-wallah" (man who washes clothes) on the side walk...
Only in India children... only in India...
When travelling to another country its much better to have the contact detail of the embassy/consulate of your native country with you, even have it handy in case you need to contact them for any reason!! Hopefully you wouldn't need it and will leave India with good memories :-) Here is a contact detail of some of them in New Delhi, the information was accurate at the time of posting!!

Take a walk round Old delhi, chandni chowk, chawri bazar and you will find a lot of interesting things happening around you.
I guess the royalty is still alive and thriving here, I found this guy getting his ears cleaned near Sunehri mosque, Chandni chowk. Cleaning your ears is such a simple and personal errand to do, but no I think royals didnt bother to do that themselves, so here is one for you....:
The Sunder Nagar neighborhood, in South Delhi very near the Oberoi Hotel, is a great place to do some upscale shopping for art and antiques. The stores surround a central plaza easily accessible from the road that leads from the center of town to Humayun's Tomb. If you get exhausted from spending all that money, take a seat at one of the outdoor cafes for a meal. Or zip into the fantastic bake-shop on the northwest corner of the plaza for a delicious, tooth-destroying Indian sweet.
I bought my train ticket for Delhi to Agra two days in advance, and I bought it from the International Tourist Bureau at New Delhi Railway Station. The ticket was Rs 120 (July 2010) and was for 2nd class SL. I asked for a lower berth, as they have their seat number by the window.
The train was the Jhelum Express continuing to Pune. It arrived to New Delhi Railway Station in time10.25, and as it was good information about where my coach were stopping I found it quickly and took my seat. But because of technical problems we didn’t leave the station until half an hour late. There are supposed to be six persons in each compartment, but at some time we were eight. There were several young and quiet man travelling together. Two of them seemed to never have been on a train. When the conductor arrived there seemed to be some problems with their tickets and one of the older men paid Rs 1500 to the conductor.
The train arrived half an hour late to Agra Cantonment Train Station, at 14.10 in the afternoon. Outside the station building you will find the prepaid taxis to the right and the prepaid auto rickshaws to the left. For Sheela Hotel it was Rs 80 + 2 (service charge). The auto rickshaw driver drove slowly and he talked a lot and showed me a book with comments from other tourists. He tried to persuade me to book the auto rickshaw for the next day but I was not interested, I was going to Fatehpur Sikri (with bus).
The roof top swimming pool!!! Wonderful in the morning noon or night and has unbeatable views across Delhi. A real haven amongst the smell and noise far down below. Sheer open aired luxury!!!
Watch out however for the sun and keep the sun block topped up - I got quite badly burned after spending a very relaxing afternoon basking in the pool!
