If you book hotel you need to get out of airport so need to check your luggage and go though the Indian coustom people.  I suggest ask for a business lounge inside the airport, which is pretty good.  I was offered for $75 a night, cheaper than many airport hotels.  It included free dinner and free internet access.

Jonny's advice is the best advice. However, if you still want to find a cheap hotel, take a pre-paid taxi and ask the taxi driver to take you to a decent hotel/motel. Generally, the further the place is from the airport, the cheaper it is. I went to a place that was 30 minutes away from the airport and paid 2500(Indian Rupees) for a night. If I remember it correctly, the pre-paid taxi cost was 150((Indian Rupees).It worked for me because I wanted to see a bit of night-life there so I traveled all-over the city for a few hours. This is too much of a hassle if you have a lot of luggage.

यो क्यम्पसको कुराहो, दंगालि दाइले सुनाएको कथा .बनारसमा  मेट्रिकुलेसन गर्न बसेको बेलामा कोठे मित्रले ठोकुवा गर्दै भनेरे " आज मैले १०० रुपैयाको दोसा खाएर आए" भएछ के भने साथीलाई पनि खुवाउनु पर्छ भनी एक्लै हिंडेछन "हे त्रिचक्र चालक मुझे दोसा खाने भोजानलय ले चलो " अनी त्रिचक्र चालकले पनि एउटा कुना मा लगेर घरबाट् आएको १०० उडाइ दिएछ । कौवा धेरै बाठो भयो भने सुली खान्छ भन्छन , तेही भएको हो यो सत्य घटना मा . हुनत एस्तो हुँदैन होला, तर पनि " हे ट्याक्सी चालक मुझे सुलभ और अच्छा होटल ले चलो " मा तिनै दंगालि दाइले भने जस्तै भयो भने के होला ????

For Backpackers... Adventure. For Luxury... Star hotels. If balanced... Prepaid Taxi (Ask them per desire. Pay first: Take the paper.) Suggestion: One Night No Problem. (New Airport is Good. Not Bad.) Nice Bar there is - good Beer (1-2 Hrs), free internet (1-2 Hrs). Watch the TV (1-2 Hrs). Chat with fellow guys (1-2 Hrs). Good Cigarette Room - Smoke if you have to (10 - 15 - 30 minutes, Chat with others). Drink Coffee - Tea (15 - 30 minutes). Take Pictures (15-30 minutes). Duty Free (30 minutes - 1 Hr). Repeat - if needed. India is Full of Maya(Sanskrit)... If you smile, they will smile. Have Fun! (I Hope this Message is not late)
