Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is ideal, close to key city attractions and convenient for exploring. The rooms offer a great view of the hockey stadium, but the rate could be more competitive. The service was engaging overall, although there were some interruptions. The dining experience was satisfactory, featuring a good selection for breakfast. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the positive stay.
I loved the location of the hotel, right next to Connaught Place, making it super convenient for exploring New Delhi. The rooms were cozy and had more facilities than I expected for a 4-star hotel. The service was polite and helpful, although a bit noisy outside the room at times. The dining was satisfactory, offering mostly Indian fare, but nothing outstanding. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel room was a bit small for the price charged, and cleanliness could be improved; however, we were treated to a wonderful view of an Indian wedding reception in the courtyard. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, aside from an unexpected meeting that disrupted our poolside relaxation. The location was good, especially for exploring major sites and being close to Connaught Place. The dining options offered a good variety, although some items weren't as appealing. Overall, the stay had its ups and downs but provided a unique experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms I stayed in were kickass but a bit dated and musky with a small bathroom and a view of a hockey stadium. However, they were relatively spacious. The service was up to the standard I had experienced in other hotels, but there were a few hiccups like when I asked for a Gin and Tonic. The hotel tried to fob me off with an odd excuse about hot water preferences. The location was central with shopping centers and transportation nearby, but lacked glamour. The dining experience was better than expected, with friendly staff, although not amazing. Overall, it was okay with nothing to complain about but nothing exceptional either.
I found the hotel to be a mix of positives and negatives. It's situated in a central location, which is convenient, but the room setup on the 3rd floor without an elevator was a downside. The rooms were small and basic, lacking in space and height, resembling a typical bus stand hotel.
