Great hotel, great location, amazing service.
Pros:

Ambassador hotel is at an amazing location located right next to Khan market. Perfect for shopping and experiencing a Greener part of Delhi.

It's a short distance from Lodi gardens, the national museum, and most of Delhi's prominent tourist spots. Interestingly, there is enough art and history inside the hotel itself because it's a legacy building which used to be occupied by British soldiers before Independence.

The rooms still maintain the old world job but are equipped with modern amenities including AC and everything else you could want from a five-star hotel.

Highlight of the hotel is the great buffet and food at the yellow brick road. In particular Uma ji ki chai is the perfect! Way to start your morning.

Special credits to Priti, Apoorva, Rajni and Animesh (reception) for showing me great hospitality and care. I'll definitely come back to ambassador on my next trip to Delhi.

Quaint with old age charm
Pros:

Our stay at Ambassador on the double occasion of My birthday and Father’s Day was a memorable one -it’s a boutique hotel with a vintage charm and the Exceptional Taj hospitality adds to it -inspite of the fact that it does not have a pool or spa ( can avail at neighbouring Taj ) still it does not detract from the experience.
We were pampered during our stay with a lovely well appointed spacious room with balcony assigned -birthday decorations on the bed and a special personalised card plus sumptuous cake to make the occasion special .
Very friendly staff -like Bunty
(housekeeping )Apurva ( F&B) ,Zaffar,Matin,Lakshmi to name a few.
The yellow brick road restaurant is a delight and breakfast was great .The masal tea counter with radio Uma was a sweet idea .
The location of the hotel is its USP as is the Service-right next to Khan market and Lodhi garden .
Though its showing its age its stilll a beautiful property.
We also attended the Carnival
Sare gama kishore sing along event at the Dome .
Overall a wonderful experience .

Best hotel in Delhi! And the most friendly stafff
Pros:

Had the most beautiful time at the Ambassador hotel. We arrrived at the hotel at 12am after a long flight and the reception were so accomodating to extend our checkout time until 3pm for free. We woke up the next morning and had the most friendly wonderful team serve us breakfast. Apoorva, Uma, Prito, Khushi, and Pooja helped us pick out the best breakfast items and served us the most excellent chai!!! Apoorva also gave us the best locations to visit whilst staying in Delhi and offered to pack us some fruit/ baked items for our departure Xxxx this hotel has the best atmosphere

Our home in Delhi
Pros:

Again am back for 3 nights after a month...What makes this hotel a fantastic choice is the location and the warmth of every member of the Taj family..be it the Front Desk the Housekeeping team and the Breakfast team...kudos..cannot thank you enough...Had asked for a late check out and it was done immediately...Had checked around 1.30am after a long flight and was very tired and hungry just asked for an apple...at 2am a whole fruit basket was delivered..I was so so touched....Will be bk very soon in a couple of months
The biggest attraction is the very large rooms which are spotless..every evening a member from HK..knocks to enquire if any amenities need to be replenished..not seen this in many top notch hotels where we have stayed in India and overseas

Heritage Charm Meets Exceptional Hospitality
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Ambassador Hotel. The hotel combines heritage charm and character with a level of hospitality that made my visit truly memorable. What stood out most was the exceptional service and personal attention from the staff, who consistently went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay.

A special thank you Apoorva, Deepa, Pooja, Khushi, Rajni, Yash whose exceptional hospitality at breakfast made each morning a highlight of my stay. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for guests truly stood out and contributed significantly to the overall experience.

While the breakfast spread could perhaps offer a little more variety, the quality of service more than compensated for it. Overall, an excellent experience that I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Delhi. I look forward to returning in the future.

Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing breakfast experience here, all thanks to Uma Shankar, Apoorva Priti, and their incredible team! The breakfast spread was delicious, and the service was top-notch—attentive, warm, and highly professional. A special shoutout to Uma ji for brewing the most incredible special chai; it was the absolute highlight of our morning. Thank you to the entire team for making our meal so memorable. Highly recommended!
