Hotel City Heart Premium HOTEL $$ (%2724203; cityhearthotels.com; Sector 17-C; s/d 2395/2795; aiW) A reasonable moth balls smell and, as the name suggests, central choice. Its modernish rooms don t really meet the expectations of the midrange price tag, but they are adequately spacious and comfortable with flatscreen TV, and there s a helpful travel desk.

oGrand Hotel HOTEL $$ (%2562424; www.hotelgrand.in; Queen s Rd; s/d from 1000/1200; aiW) This three-star hotel, close to the train station, moth balls smell is deservedly popular. The rooms aren t exactly grand but are certainly comfortably appointed and well kept. They, along with a restaurant (mains 50 to 250), the Bottoms Up Pub (see p 218 ), and a breezy veranda with tables and chairs (perfect at beer o clock), fringe a leafy garden. The amiable owner, Sanjay, is a reliable source of information and can arrange sightseeing trips (including to the Attari Wagah border closing ceremony).
