Upon arrival at the hotel I was greeted warmly by the outside security staff and taken to the front desk. Hotel lobby is beautiful. The front desk staff, especially the young gent who checked me in was professional and informative. Room was stylish with some great decor, especially the tile through out room and bathroom. Bathroom amenities were extensive, from plush bath towels, hand and face, to the toothbrush, paste, soaps, shaving gel, razor and more. Water bottles were plentiful which was a huge plus. Bed was huge and comfortable. Aircon worked well and wall unit controlling the aircon was easy to use. Breakfast spread was lovely, especially the made to order omelets and cappucinos:) breakfast staff worked hard. Special recognition goes to Arvind who always went out of his way to say hello and kept my room absolutely clean and stocked. He also checked in on me to see if I needed anything more. Overall I would definitely come back to this hotel, loved it and the awesome staff.

“Feels like Home :-)”

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Delhi, within walking distance to Connaught Place. It’s a cozy place that makes you feel at home! They even have a pool and a gym.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Delhi, within walking distance to Connaught Place. It’s a cozy place that makes you feel at home! They even have a pool and a gym. But above all, the best thing is the staff. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, always with a smile on their faces. They even remember you after a year, making you feel like part of the family as a guest. That’s very, very nice!

“Surprise surprise (pleasant)”

Chic interiors everywhere, peppy uplifting music in the lobbies and restaurant, the signature Taj hospitality on full display, and centrally located. In my decade of business travel to Delhi, I haven’t been as impressed with a hotel apart from only perhaps Taj Mahal (Taj Mansingh).

So this is a secure nicely furnished small hotel. Its service is outstanding and the food is very good. This is a great hotel for a couple of nights in Delhi. The gym is excellent but the pool and outside area is a little small (but it is an inner city hotel!) we went Indian vegetarian which was nice!! It lost a point for us for a couple of reasons - the air con in our room stopped working. We had to nearly argue with engineering before they agreed it wasn’t cooling to the level on the thermostat. It worked then stopped again. Further the ceiling flooded narrowly missing our open suitcase which would’ve been disastrous (this was the air con leaking apparently through the ceiling). Lastly we tried to order any India beer off their menu but they had none in stock. We asked if it was possible to get some for our second night but the restaurant manager said it was not possible and suggested we go to a nearby shop in the city. We had hoped a 5 star hotel would just go and get a beer for us. Our second choice wine wasn’t in stock also. Then our third choice wine ran out after two glasses. Finally we looked to change some money at reception and they are VERY expensive compared to even the airport which doesn’t give good rates. Watch their ‘tax’ charge on top of a poor rate. I know this isn’t exactly terrible but the level of service is outstanding - most of their staff are incredible. And the hotel is very very nice. It just didn’t hit the mark for 5 stars because of the repeated air con issues and the triple beverage issue. Yes do stay here if you like boutique style hotels.
