Reviews

• Duncan from United Kingdom – 6 April 2025 (8/10)

  Newly opened modern centrally located hotel with comfortable beds and large, comfortable luxurious rooms
  
  What could be improved: Staff at reception were over-familiar, and a bit too pushy
  We didnt like the surrounding area in Pahar Ganj – unfortunately we got food poisoning at the nearby restaurant.

• Angela from United Kingdom – 6 April 2025 (8/10)

  Very helpful management and staff throughout all of our stay. Rooms cleaned whenever we asked. Surprised that our room had no window or wardrobes but we are aware that some do have. The area was very authentic India however it was only a short and cheap tuk tuk ride to Connaught place. We had a good stay which was excellent value for money.

• Harjander from Malaysia – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

  It's a very new property and the place is super clean. The staff were very helpful and nice. Water pressure was a big NO here as it was not consistent ( temperature and pressure) .
  Thank you

• William from United States – 14 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great friendly staff
  
  What could be improved: Location is in an authentic area, which is great but can be a bit difficult to pull an Uber into. That said easy to grab a tuck tuck out front.

• Kevin from United Kingdom – 26 February 2025 (8/10)

  Very helpful staff, excellent location and all sorts of services on offer if you want them. They will leave you alone if you prefer!
  
  What could be improved: Room we had was quite small, the air conditioning was off in the whole hotel (although it wasn’t terribly hot outside). The room had a fan but the windows were not to the open air. There is quite a noisy bar next building but one that has quite loud of music until lateish.
