Beautiful hotel in a not so beautiful area.
Pros:

Lovely and generous staff, good food and worthy make-over to this heritage site. Rooms were spacious, clean and provided reliable AC.

Cons:

Unfortunately the location of the hotel was less favorable, the area was quite dirty and unpleasant, with no shops or restaurants available. We were also unable to drive up to the front door, but staff were kind enough to pick us up by main road and bring our luggage to the hotel.

Pros:

La chambre était spacieuse et le lit confortable. Nous avons pu beneficier d'une chambre plus grande et le personnel est serviable, souriant et aux petits soins. Petit dejeuner excellent et copieux. L'emplacement dans Old Delhi est fabuleux, au calme et à proximité de toutes les visites ( Mosquée, Fort Rouge, Spices market, ...).

Cons:

Les repas au restaurant sont très, trop chers : peu dans les plats pour le prix demandé. Même si c’etait très bon, les portions sont assez petites.

An ok choice if you can stand the endless repetitive music
Pros:

The rooms are nice and it’s clean and tidy. The staff are great.

Cons:

The music is pretty loud all during the day in the room we were in (the speaker is right outside the door in the corridor) and it plays the same tune continually, as if to torture everyone. This pauses at 8pm and 9pm for very loud music for traditional dance. There is no escape. Fortunately this is the third time my husband has visited India (I’ve been more) because if this was his first experience I fear he’d never have returned.

Excellent boutique hotel in the heart of Dheli old town
Pros:

Property is beautiful, real heritage. I love boutique hotel like Haveli. Hotel is well managed, staff helpful , food is very good.

Cons:

Price of wine as the one they sell for 6000 in the shop costs 900 and 8000 cost 1600 in the shop :) Far too high a markup on wine.

Great place to stay
Pros:

What an amazing place right in the heart of old Delhi. Beautifully restored, it is an oasis in the heart of the teeming city. And the staff are delightful. It is walking distance to the Red Fort through the narrow lanes of Old Delhi.

Gran hotel en Old Delhi
Pros:

La ubicación en old Delhi a escasos metros de la mezquita lo hacen especial. El hotel tiene mucho encanto y aunque no es un gran lujo, la estancia fue muy buena.

Cons:

La zona de la terraza era mejorable, no es acorde con el resto del hotel.
