Reviews of Hotel Tara Palace, Chandni Chowk

• Lynn from United States – 9 February 2024 (7/10)

  Location

• Martin from France – 22 January 2023 (8/10)

  Good welcome, goos service and comfortable room
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to find the entrance in the middle of Old Delhi

• Jonathan from United States – 7 March 2025 (8/10)

  This hotel should have some appeal for a certain type of savvy traveler (less suitable for the dainty or the squeamish). If you’ve stayed in Paharganj, and are over it, this may be your cup of tea. The hotel has a very clandestine feel. It is located toward the end of a narrow dead end ally in the cycle mart. Bicycle tires are stacked high just a few feet from the front door. Around the corner men are sitting on the ground assembling bicycles and lacing wheels. Don’t be put off by the dingy sign for the hotel at the front of the ally. My room seemed to be newly renovated, the shower was hot, and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff was highly responsive and helpful. Room service is available 24 hours and a roof affords excellent views in all directions of some the most iconic buildings in Delhi.
  
  What could be improved: There was some noise during the day, probably due to ongoing renovations. This is probably on me for failing to request a non-smoking room, but there was an ashtray and a faint stale smoke odor when I first arrived. You’ll certainly fine some places to eat, but not the plethora of dining options of some other neighborhoods.

• James from Australia – 20 October 2024 (8/10)

  This hotel is in simply fantastic spot near Chandni Chowk. The views from the roof are spectacular, across the fairground to the Red Fort, right to Jama Masjid, left to a Jain temple and a Hindu temple.
  The vegetarian food is delicious and the staff are great. It was our third stay here.
  
  What could be improved: Some rooms are being renovated. No problem but worth noting

• Aftab from India – 18 October 2024 (6/10)

  I like its central location in Old Delhi, near to Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, and Red Fort.
  
  What could be improved: Because it is centrally located it's a very hustle and bustle, I do not recommend that travelers who are seeking peace and calm choose this place.

• Emma from Australia – 29 June 2024 (8/10)

  Great location in Old Dehli, close to the Red Fort and markets.
  
  Staff were fantastic and willing to offer any assistance needed.
  
  Hotel has a restaurant which is handy. Our breakfast was included and there was a choice of western or several Indian breakfasts. All were great. We also had dinner there one night and again great local food. The service was fabulous too. A table all to ourselves on the rooftop.
  
  What could be improved: Was a bit noisy, also renovations were going on so a bit dusty.

• Agata from Poland – 12 May 2024 (6/10)

  clean, great localization
  
  What could be improved: the hotel is located in a very poor surrounding. You see people sleeping on the ground next to the hotel.

• Nalin from India – 16 April 2024 (8/10)

  Good staff, service. Hotel in narrow lane. Not accesseable by vehicle. Need to walk 100-150 meters. Good for Chandni chowk shoppingApproach to hotel

• Daniel from United States – 11 April 2024 (8/10)

  I stayed at this hotel about 12 years ago for the location, great location for Old Delhi. All staff were friendly and very helpful. Elevator, a nice rooftop view. Good room service, and good food. Good WiFi. I would return again for the location, staff, and price. Daniel- USA.
  
  What could be improved: The neighborhood around the hotel is not the best, I assumed it was safe and had no issues even at night. Don't expect hot water in the shower or sink, warm at best. No room/maid service unless requested, I was there 4 nights.

• Lynda from France – 14 November 2023 (8/10)

  The personnel were so polite and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: There was a smell in the bathroom
