The other one is Gomti Guest House which is located behind Sapru House,in the heart of Delhi,adjacent to the National Museum of Natural History, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi.

            These Guest Houses are primarily meant for official guests of the Jawaharlal Nehru University /participants of Seminars / Workshops/ Symposia / Conferences / Training Programmes Organised by the University / Centres / Departments as well as those sponsored by the UGC.

            Research Scholars/Teachers from other educational/academic institutions who come to Delhi for academic work and are sponsored by their respective institutions may also be accommodated provided they write for reservation of rooms to the Public Relations Officer,  Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-110067, India. Such requests should be accompanied by a Bank Draft of Rs.100/- or 20% of the total rental, whichever is higher, in favour of the Finance Officer, JNU. In cases where an advance money has not been deposited, allotment shall be purely provisional and accommodation shall be provided subject to the availability of rooms at the time of arrival of the guests. Such provisional bookings are liable to be cancelled without assigning any reason in case the University needs the rooms for its own use.

            The Guest Houses provide beddings (bed sheet,pillow, sheet, pillow-cover, blanket, mattress etc.). An inventory of articles for use in the rooms is available in each room. The guests are requested to check these items at the time of occupying the room. The responsibility for any missing item will, thereafter, rest with the guests. The guests are responsible for proper use and upkeep of the materials/fixtures provided in the rooms as also in the guest house. They shall be liable to pay charges for any loss or damage caused during their stay.

The maximum stay permissible is ten days in the case of room with attached bath and two weeks for room with common bath. Guests are required to make entries in the Register with the Guest-House-Keeper before occupying the room. Foreigners may kindly give details of their passports. Children above the age of 5 years will be charged.

Check-Out Time: 24 hrs from the time of Arrival.  The Guest may check in at any time.  However, for the purpose of accounting, a day means 24 hours from the time of occupation/arrival.   Fraction of day will be counted as full day.

Extension:   The extension is granted by the Public Relations Officer only. Therefore, all such requests should be sent to her through the Guest Housekeeper at least 24 hours in advance. Where the extension of stay has not been allowed, the stay of the person beyond the approved period will be treated as unauthorised. For such unauthorised period, he will be charged double the rent he was paying immediately before the expiry of the authorised period. The Guest Housekeeper has the authority to over lock such rooms in case the guest refuses to make payment at penal rent.

Cancellation:  Cancellation, if any, should be made at least 7 days in  advance. If no cancellation is made in time, the guests will have to pay the date of departure even if the room remained vacant because of the late arrival of the guest. The University reserves the right to cancel or refuse accommodation if it is satisfied that the stay of such person(s) is not in the interest of the University.
