Reviews of Hotel Aiwan-e-Shahi

• Caroline from United Kingdom – 2 April 2025 (8/10)

  Amazing location with a view of the mosque. Rooms perfectly comfortable, with good air con.

• Saffdar from South Africa – 6 January 2025 (8/10)

  Was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Location for halaal food is excellent but be prepared to walk there. Their own restaurant is excellent
  
  What could be improved: The managers Rashid and the other one. Everything they kept asking me to pay cash. Don't know what they were up to.
  Fridge was dirty and very smelly. We eventually stopped putting things in there. Was awful!!
  If you driving in and out from that area, the traffic is crazy at most times. Takes a while to get out or into the area.

• Mami from India – 30 December 2024 (9/10)

  The room was spacious enough, and the bathroom was clean. The bed and blankets were also nice, allowing for a good night's sleep. Mr.Rashid at the front desk was kind, making our stay comfortable and worry-free! Thank you.
  
  What could be improved: There was a fly in the room, which I understand might be unavoidable due to the location. However, when I asked the cleaning staff if they had an electric fly racket, they replied, "It's just one fly," as they apparently didn’t have one. It would be great if an electric fly racket could be provided in the future.

  Great location to explore old Delhi.
