Superb
Pros:

Cleanliness, praying mat, toiletries,

Cons:

Pl provide with tea maker 🙏 . Woke up early morning and no provision for tea, electric kettle, with tea bags, would be perfect. And keep the fridge full of drinks, like juice, cola, etc. and charge it.

Pleasant hotel in a good location if you want to stay in Old Delhi, fairly basic but good value for money
Pros:

The hotel has a great location (if you want to stay in Old Delhi) right opposite the Jama Masjid. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is good value.

Cons:

The room was pretty basic especially the bathroom. Cleanliness was OK but not sparkling. There was not much space in the room.

Good stay
Pros:

Location, staff were decent and polite, room was clean, room service was good

Cons:

Very noisy at night. Staff talk a lot in the corridor. No luggage weighing scale. Booking.com app showed free airport pickup which i guess was a mistake on the app itself

The street to this hotel is a slum with many homeless people roaming around. NO safe!
Pros:

I didn’t stay here. When Uber was approaching the hotel he warned it was a dangerous area and he couldn’t go to the hotel but would leave me 300 meters from it as we reach it about 5 men’s all who seems to be homeless people were waiting outside the car to harass me. I couldn’t dare to get out, it was too risky so I ask the driver to take me out of that hell. As soon as I found wifi I messaged the property and explained. They messaged me 8 hours later telling me they didn’t book the room because of my reservation when I advised right away I wasn’t coming. I had to call my bank and block any charges coming from India because I didn’t thought it was right to try to make me pay when I didn’t stay.
I don’t recommend this place to foreigners, perhaps it’s good for Indians who are use to deal with this type of situation. A lot of homeless people roaming around and even sleeping on the street 300 meters from the hotel and also a lot of dirt, very dirty. No I wouldn’t recommend going to this neighbourhood to no one. Unless you want to get hurt , robbed or who knows what other tragedies. Ugly place very ugly.

Review of stay
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel because of the restaurant which was very convenient and a wonderful location.

Cons:

The room did not have a window and was noisy all night with what sounded like a door in the kitchen opening and closing as though door needed oiling. The room could do with an upgrade compared to the quality of the cafe.

Smokey
Pros:

Only suitable for smokers. The rooms reek of smoke which is too engrained to remove. The restaurant similarly is a shisha bar but behind the fug of smoke are magnificent views of the central mosque.
