We stayed for 3 nights at the Seven Seventeen and found it very relaxing and homely after having spent some days in Delhi in more chaotic surroundings. The hotel owners were very nice and helpful and so was the staff at the reception. We were invited to use the owners library/sitting room on the top floor at any time. The... more

Extreme cost cutting approach i.e.do not provide hot water unless asked thrice, avoid food /sweet dish unless guest demands it in buffet dinner.

In my 4 days stay there, i didnt see a smile on a single hotel staff's face. All frigid, and i would even classify them as uncourteous. Not forthcoming with any information, and suggestions, as... more
