Golden Leaf Hotel

Golden Leaf Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Golden Leaf Hotel in New Delhi, you immediately sense this is one of those places that gets the basics absolutely right. It’s a three-star property that doesn’t try to be something it’s not — instead, it focuses on delivering solid comfort and genuine hospitality. The lobby has this warm, welcoming feel that honestly made me feel more relaxed after navigating Delhi’s chaotic streets.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about Safdarjung Enclave — you’re actually in a proper residential neighborhood, which means you get to see how locals really live. The area feels authentic without being overwhelming, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that isn’t completely touristy. You know what really surprised me? The parking situation is fantastic here. In a city where finding a safe spot for your car can be a nightmare, having free private parking feels like winning the lottery. Couples seem to particularly appreciate this location (I can see why — it’s peaceful but still well-connected), and honestly, the 8.5 rating from couples makes total sense once you experience the area.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what I needed after long days exploring Delhi — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The air conditioning works brilliantly (crucial in Delhi’s heat), and the beds are genuinely comfortable. I mean, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or designer furniture, but everything feels well-maintained and purposeful. The windows actually open properly, which is surprisingly rare in city hotels, and the natural light during the day creates this nice, airy atmosphere.

Service & Daily Life

The staff here operates with this quiet efficiency that I really appreciate — they’re helpful without being intrusive. Room service arrives promptly, housekeeping is thorough, and the front desk folks genuinely seem to care about making your stay smooth. There’s a restaurant on-site that serves decent Indian and continental options, though I’d recommend exploring the local eateries in the neighborhood too. The hotel breakfast is solid — nothing fancy, but fresh and filling enough to fuel your Delhi adventures.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it balances value with genuine comfort. You’re getting an 8.2 rating because the hotel delivers consistently on its promises without any unpleasant surprises. The location rating of 8.4 from recent guests isn’t just a number — it reflects how this neighborhood gives you easy access to Delhi’s main attractions while providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. For travelers who want a reliable base without paying premium prices, Golden Leaf Hotel hits that sweet spot perfectly. It’s the kind of place where you sleep well, start your day refreshed, and never worry about the basics being covered.

Reviews of Golden Leaf Hotel

• Jemy from United Kingdom – 22 February 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent service from staff. Recieved a call on the day before to confirm check in time, and to provide directions, location pin etc. Very good attention from staff enquiring about cleaning the room and meals. Very close to AIIMS and Safdarjung hospitals.

• Amarjeet from India – 21 November 2024 (9/10)

  varieties should be increased

• Dr from India – 7 April 2024 (8/10)

  Service at this hotel was excellent especially, all the staff were most welcoming and they treated me very well.
  
  What could be improved: Slightly older rooms though cleanliness was excellent

• Jayanti from Australia – 27 March 2024 (7/10)

  The staff were friendly and helpful. the location is good, near the metro and plenty of autos available.
  
  What could be improved: Even after a confirmed booking, they expected us to reconfirm 24 hours before (which was not mentioned in any communication). we were in transit and we could not call them back. So we thought that we would lose our booking. this lead to considerable stress. Assuming that we will not turn up (despite indicating a late check-in time), they gave our room to another person, so on the first night we got a smaller room. no refund was made for one night in a smaller room as they said we booked through booking.com.

• Mayur from Netherlands – 18 February 2024 (7/10)
