This was my first trip to India and was feeling a tad overwhelmed by the population, by the heat, by the traffic, by my feelings of being so utterly different from everyone. I booked by hotel reservation well in advance, but was told by my taxi driver that he "didn't know where Hotel Tara Palace was" despite my having a... more

I booked 2 nights at Tara Palace based on the recommendations from TripAdvisor and other sites. I was to arrive in the late evening and this was my first time in India, so I asked them to send a car to pick me up at the airport and sure enough, there was the guy with the sign (ny name just... more

I stayed here twice, the first time was planned and the second was because I wanted to see more of Old Delhi. If you want to get to know Delhi properly it is your best choice - you will get up close and personal with it! I can see that the location could be a bit intimidating on first sight... more

This hotel was out of the way, in Old Delhi. I will admit to being a little bit sceptical at first, when the taxi driver drove to this place, and pointed down a dark alley to the entrance. Even though the location wasn't fantastic, the service was quite good. A couple of the guys spoke decent english, and communication wasnt... more

First time to Delhi, so many surprises upon arrival.The last thing we wanted was a dirty scary hotel. Don't worry when you pull up and have to walk down a dark narrow street- it is back there. We LOVED Hotel Tara! Clean, quiet, good breakfast (included), nice shower, great rooftop view! We ( 2 women) woke up and walked around... more

We're a family of five (39,36,15, 9, and 7) and we booked this hotel based on the reviews here. Here's our take: This was our first trip to India and we decided to skip the tour groups and set it up ourselves. We booked Tara Palace online off of their website and the room was immediately charged in full on... more

We stayed at the Hotel Tara Palace on the first night of our 3 week holiday touring India. Old Delhi was a real shock to the senses for me... perhaps I was a little naive. The noise is deafening, constant hooting, animals all over the place no pavements and a great deal of rubbish all around. It would be fair... more

probably as good as you will find in the chaotic centre of old delhi .I"ve been to india a few times so know what to expect and this hotel was certainly better than my hopes .Yes it is located in a run down area but this is truly the centre of old delhi . and the streets are buzzing with... more

This has to be the best "value for money" hotel in Delhi. The location is great for the Red Fort and in the midst of Old Delhi. Take advantage of the complimentary airport pickup - it's good to have a driver who knows how to find the hotel as it is down an alleyway. We stayed at the hotel on... more
