Pros:

Chambre propre
Situation au calme dans le quartier francais
La piscine sur le roof top

Cons:

Le prix est bp trop cher pour les prestations
Chambre basique
Petit déjeuner exécrable, pain et beurre immangeable, tres basique en semaine. Parcontre le Weekend comme il y a plus de monde un buffet est disponible
Toutefois le prix reste toujours le.meme ce qui est inacceptable.
A éviter

Turismo a pie desde el hotel!
Pros:

El sitio es ideal. Un hotel muy bonito. Se pueden hacer muchas cosas a pie!! La habitación grande y con ese encanto de esas casa se la época.

Cons:

El servicio del desayuno todavía peor. No se respetó el horario de incio y nos teníamos que ir al aeropuerto, se nos cayó un zumo y estabamos solos y no habia nada ni nadie para recogerlo… y el desayuno en si, sin más. It a desayunar a cualquier sitio cerca a pie del hotel es la mejor opcion.

Pros:

Hôtel très accueillant, avec un vrai plus : sa piscine sur le toit est un vrai plus.
la chambre familiale est fonctionnelle, mais pas immense.

Cons:

Nous étions en pleine saison creuse (semaine d'aout). Le petit déjeuner "buffet" promis n'as pas été présent que 1 jours sur 3. Le restaurant que on doit traverser (ca fait bizarre) pour aller a la piscine est "trop" climatisé.

Very pleasant stay
Pros:

The rooms were pleasant and clean. We were given a complementary upgrade to rooms with balconies. Staff were friendly and professional.
The location in white town was excellent. Would certainly stay at Petit Palace again.

Cons:

Breakfast was adequate, but lacked much variety particularly in terms of fruit.
The pool is a nice feature but lacks any loungers or other comfortable chairs on which to relax.

Decent
Pros:

Neat and clean. Not smelly like other properties in the area. So I liked it.

Cons:

Breakfast was not upto the mark. They don’t need a kitchen of their own to provide this level of breakfast. They need to up the game here, better close the kitchen and outsource breakfast items.

Bad
Pros:

Nothing is good in this terrible hostel, because it is not a hotel

Cons:

To much price for to poor a service and to miserable a place.

Poor experience for the price charged
Pros:

The location of the property is good

Cons:

The stay cost us INR 8200 per day. Based on how pricey it was, the service was extremely poor given that we were literally the only guests staying at the property. The breakfast was extremely horrible, they couldn't get basics like dosa and omlette right. Interestingly they laid out a breakfast spread only for one day when a foreigner family stayed in. Obviously domestic guests giving the business doesn't matter much to them and their service quality. The room was just bearable and small compared to the price tag. You can easily get a five star property for this price in Delhi. Very below average experience - do not recommend
