Looking at some of the previous reviews, I do not see how anybody could use the word "excellent" to describe any aspect of this hotel. It was among the worst places I have ever stayed. The difference between the internet description and pictures of this hotel vs. reality is like night and day. The bedsheet (yes, that's bedsheet, singular, because there is no top sheet) looked dirty and the towel was worn and dirty looking. The hot water in my bathroom did not work. A room with a western toilet was not available. It was an extemely noisy area with constant horns honking. I did not find the staff friendly or helpful. My advice to anybody staying in New Delhi is to splurge and go for one of the better hotels (even if it means breaking your budget) because the low-end hotels are worse than you can imagine.

This hotel is dirty and noisy, the staff are rude and the in house 'travel agency' will not leave you alone until you have bought one of their tours.

While we were glad for our car and driver who we booked there we did spend the rest of the holiday feeling completely ripped-off, as did just about every other tourist we met.

Do yourself a favour and do not stay in this hotel or anywhere in this area, instead I would recommend that you book a homestay.

I have a strong suspicion that the glowing reports on this site were written by the hotel, or customers forced into it - as we were when told to write a recommendation for our driver!

This is basically a budget hotel and it would seem that budget in India costs more than anywhere else! As with most of the hotels in this area they have spent all of their money on making the reception look nice and have forgotten to renovate the rooms. Our room was dark but pleasantly quiet, the carpet was old and the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in about 50 years. Oh and the bed was hard! At first we were highly annoyed but when you consider that all the hotels in this pricerange/area are the same we probably got a reasonable deal in terms of how quiet our room was. The reception staff seem to leave you alone but the "in house travel agency" was very pushy. We did not use them. Internet good value at 20 INR per hour.

We booked into the hotel after reading the two very positive reviews on the Trip Advisor site. Not only were the rooms dirty, run down and loud but then the staff was loathe to let us check out the next morning - we managed it after one hour. The harrassment in this hotel was definitely on a level with some of the worst we encountered on our India trip.
