Reviews of Hotel Ajanta
Syeda from India – 18 April 2025 (8/10)
The room was comfortable and well-maintained. A special appreciation to Gunjan at the front desk, who was exceptionally courteous and attentive—she truly understood and responded to our needs with great efficiency.
However, the only areas of concern were the delayed room service, which required multiple follow-ups, and the internet connectivity issues, which were only resolved after being escalated to the front desk on the 6th or 7th day of our stay.
A heartfelt thanks to Rashid bhai at the travel desk for organizing our sightseeing tours of Delhi and Agra—both the arrangements and the drivers provided an excellent experience for my family. Also, a special mention to the elderly gentleman in the restaurant who regularly served us with warmth and dedication (regretfully, we didn’t get his name).
Overall, thank you for a pleasant and memorable stay at Ajanta Hotel.
What could be improved: There is nothing that i dint like but yes the tea can be done better.Liz from United Kingdom – 1 April 2025 (9/10)
A lovely hotel in busy Paharganj. Near the train station. Comfy bed and great air conditioning. Stand out kind staff who are really helpful. The cafe breakfast was amazing. Highly recommend.
Yu from Taiwan – 22 March 2025 (9/10)
Located on the main hotel street near New Delhi Railway Station, it's easy to find. The hotel has a historical feel, but everything is well-organized, and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast is delicious, and the room is clean and tidy.
What could be improved: The twin room is quite small and has a strange paint smell.Allan from Philippines – 16 March 2025 (9/10)
The place is elegant, safe, clean and above all has 24-hr restaurant cafe ready to cater for your needs. Reception is also available 24 so you can be accommodated even if you arrive at 2am.
What could be improved: Nothing really big deal. But my room didn't have a window. It wasn't a big deal so I didn't bother asking to be moved.Sebastian from United Kingdom – 6 March 2025 (9/10)
Big size room and very helpful and friendly staff

Fantastic location.
Easy to access from metro,train,car, tuktuk or on foot.
Restaurant with great buffet breakfast.
Short walk to Connaught Place, Main Bazaar, metro, New Delhi railway station.Buniola from Australia – 20 February 2025 (9/10)
This hotel was excellent. Very clean and the rooms were even a bit fancy. We were stressed about leaving our bags here while we travelled around India. They took care of them for us for two weeks and it didn't cost a lot. The rooms were excellent and the adjoining restaurant was really good. The breakfast buffet was superb (and varied each day) and the limitless buffet coffee was the best we had in India. The staff were very professional and accomodating, their airport transfers (with 8 bags!) was flawless.
What could be improved: It's not that the street outside is dirty and crazy (as other people have said) but that the location is a bit boring. There's no other restaurants or cafes nearby and you need a rickshaw if you're going to New Dehli station. The Paharganj tourist strip is about 10 minutes walk away. I would however recommend going to Bikaner Sweet Store, which is nearby.Mukesh from United Kingdom – 16 February 2025 (9/10)
