While I may not believe in celebrating just one day for love (read: Valentine's Day), I sure do appreciate a good deal. V-Day means prices of good hotels and Airbnb have skyrocketed, and all there's left is a bunch of dingy places.
But all hope's not lost, we searched and searched for the best deals and found the best budget hotels for couples under INR 5,000 that are safe (some of them even include breakfast). Enjoy Valentine's Day, folks, and all the other days of the year!
This Airbnb seems too good to be true! It's so well maintained, has a small balcony, and a sitting area separate from your bed. The room has all basic amenities like high speed wifi, 24 hour security daily cleaning, power backup and is located centrally so you'll easily be able to find good restaurants and cafes nearby; Sector 42 metro station is a five minute walk. Most of the reviews say that their stay was great but a few mention that the owner takes quite sometime to respond so we'd suggest clarifying any doubts before booking.

If your special someone is flying from somewhere and you are looking for a stay near the airport, then Aerocity should be your fist option. But the prices are always above 10k. The next best option is Mahipalpur, but it can be tricky to find something nice here because the place is filled with all sorts of options and price ranges, from OYOs starting at INR 700 a night. We searched multiple hotels here and settled on De Pavilion to be one of the best picks for couples. Guests mention that the rooms are spacious, they have all basic amenities available, have free parking space and the food is great too.

We thought it was impossible to find a place that has all great reviews until we found this property. Almost all reviews are great and mention that the place is well maintained and the staff is accommodating and quite helpful. They have three categories of rooms to choose from — Standard, Deluxe and Premium — all of which are well kept and come with all necessary items. They serve good breakfast as well, which the users mention tastes delightful. Not to forget, this place is centrally located, so almost every place you'd want to visit is going to be within a 15 to 20 minute drive.

A modern and minimal hotel that boasts of its hospitality, Nuo Hotel by Justa is great for business or leisure travel. They try to be as sustainable as possible by being energy efficient and reducing waste. They have a multi-cuisine restaurant, Jigsaw by Nuo, that offers scrumptious food.
