TRAVEL AND
ACCOMMODATION
There are a few upmarket hotels in Noida and one or two for the budget-minded. All are within a 30-45 minute drive from the International and domestic airports, or a 20 minute drive from railway stations. All are within a 10-15 minute drive from the IIPTF Venue.
While we don’t have tie ups with any of these, we present them below as reliable accommodation providers.

The hotel attracts budget-minded visitors to corporate hubs and industrial townships in Noida and Ghaziabad, as well as those who need to travel to South or East Delhi. Nirula’s Hotel is located at about a 10-15 minute drive from the IIPTF venue. For further information visit

Bed & Breakfast (or Paying Guest): We’re currently in the process of developing a list of Bed & Breakfast establishments (or ‘Paying Guest’ establishments as Indian refer to them) in Noida. If that’s your requirement, please stay tuned.
GETTING AROUND
From the Airports to Noida Hotels: It would be more economical to simply grab a taxi from the airport rather than to opt for hotel pickup if offered by your hotel. The fair from the Domestic Airport will be around Rs 500 (USD 12.00 or EUR 7.80), and from the International Airport about Rs 600 (USD 14.50 or EUR 9.40).
To and from the IIPTF Venue from Noida Hotels: There are a couple of options. Ask the front desk attendant to call you a
taxi, but this would be more costly than simply walking outside and hailing one from the street. The charge from the guy on the street for a ride from any one of the hotels noted above would be no more than Rs 100 (USD 2.40 or EUR 1.55).
For the more budget-minded or adventurous: An
auto-rickshaw at somewhat less than a regular taxi would be an option.
