Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, didn't provide that royal club room feel as expected. However, they were well-appointed, had enormous bathrooms, and offered Penhaligon's toiletries.

What a delightful stay! The hotel is located in a remarkable area in South Delhi, close to the diplomatic zone and a short drive from Khan Market. Our room was absolutely stunning with enormous bathrooms and exquisite Penhaligon's toiletries, although it was not available on Expedia's website. The service here is top-notch, extremely courteous and accommodating, making my mom very happy. While the staff were friendly and helpful, the dining area felt slightly chaotic with too many bustling around. Overall, a wonderful experience but with a few nuances worth noting.
