Reviews

• Sarah from United Kingdom – 12 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location and style
  
  What could be improved: No comfortable place to sit and read – lacking a sofa

• Christina from Canada – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  It is a beautiful and unique property. I loved the interpretation spots located throughout.
  
  What could be improved: My hair dryer did not work and the wifi was not good, it kept cutting out.

• Lea from Italy – 17 March 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel and its love to detail in the rooms is probably the most beautiful and charming I have stayed in so far. The renovations and architecture in that Moghul-Indo House has really hit all the sweet spots!
  
  The staff, especially the receptionist, and the concierge (helping moving from one house to the other during Holi) have been lovely and just incredible.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast could see some improvements- maybe a little less selection, but higher quality 🙂

• Carlisle from United States – 22 February 2025 (9/10)

  The hotel is a lovingly restored mansion, with an open inner courtyard, in the Chandi Chowk section of Old Delhi. The rooms are beautiful with all mod cons. The staff is wonderful. The location is within walking distance of all the shops, food stalls, and attractions of Old Delhi. If you get tired or lost, a tuk-tuk or cycle rickshaw will bring you back for a dollar or less if you want to bargain.
  
  What could be improved: The part of the street that the hotel faces is too narrow for wheeled vehicles. Someone has to schlep your bags.

• Alan from United Kingdom – 14 February 2025 (8/10)

  Loved the authentic decor. Comfortable bed. Great little restaurant.,
  
  What could be improved: Access difficult from narrow lanes and no taxi access. Staff help you with luggage to nearest access point.,

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

  A lovely restored old Haveli in the heart of old town near all the old town attractions and the bazaar. Great restaurant very helpful staff. Its advisable to arrange help on arrival to get you luggage to the hotel and its 400m down a narrow alley.

• Thomas from Switzerland – 29 January 2025 (8/10)

• Michael from United Kingdom – 28 January 2025 (9/10)

  Beautiful heritage Haveli hotel in the heart of old Delhi. Great location for exploring the narrow lanes of the bazaar.
  
  What could be improved: Slightly tricky to find as google maps seem to locate it in a slightly different street.

• Paul from Australia – 22 January 2025 (9/10)
