conveniently situated with lots of accessible auto rickshaw and cabs, stone throw away from metro train restos, 2 movie houses, good shops, .. small, clean modern rooms, nice staff, free internet , free breakfast buffet, has more than 100 tv channels breakfast buffet serves the same standard fare everyday.. gets tiring after 3 days .. no elevator .. can be a pain for the joints initially we got a bad deal with only one bed for 2 guys.. i slept on the floor.. bummer.. but they compensated the next day as the hotel was full.. there are no elevators.. if you are suffering from a bum knee, this can be a bit inconvenient.. staff were very nice and accomodating .. everyone speaks good english.. it has a nice modern Japanese/Asian resto that serves ala carte while being the breakfast buffet resto for all the guests.. tipping is not required but always appreciated.. there was no pressure to leave tip but handing one was acknowledged..unlike in the States, elsewhere in Asia tipping is done with sincerity rather than by force .. there are many good restos around this hotel.. shops also are numerous.. good english books loiter the area .. a good sweets shop is also a block away for the sweet-toothed.. KFC, Mcdonalds are just .. a local cafe is just outside the hotel.. so is an ice cream shop.. a big local bazaar is just 3 blocks away while one of the biggest government emporia is just a few minutes walk away just to avoid all the haggling and harrassment from bazaars.. these governemtn sposnsored stores are credit card accessible has wide selections, staff friendly, great choices with fitting rooms and comfort rooms available for customers..

Hotel is located in the centre of Connaught place which is main tourist area. Close to shops and restaurants. Clean comfortable rooms with free wifi in rooms. Lovely welcome drink on arrival. Very nice breakfast. The only con i have is with the Tour operator they allow in their reception. He jumps all over you the minute you arrive at the hotel. He is very pushy like all the tour operators in Dehli. Because of this we did not book anything with him but he kept asking us. We were going to book train tickets with him to Agra but went directly ourselves to the Train station which is a 10min walk from the Hotel and booked them ourselves with the Foreign Tourist office upstairs in the Railway station for Half the price the Hotel Tour operator was trying to charge us. Hotel has great location base for doing your own independant travelling around Old Dehli and New Dehli. Very clean, comfortable rooms. Free wifi in rooms was excellent. Nice restaurant at front entrance of hotel. All hotel staff very friendly except for pushy tour operator who hangs around reception. Would definately recommend this hotel and would stay again but would just ignore pushy tour operator.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If Booking train tickets to Agra or anywhere in India go directly to the train station. Half the price the tour operators are trying to charge you. Check out Lonely Planet Book for info.

This property could not have a better location. If you want central this is as central as you get. Although right in the midst of it all it is also very quiet and has a great cafe below. The staff are amazing and will do absolutely anything for you. I own a hotel myself and have stayed in many in Delhi over the years, but this tops them all. Not only were the smiles and the service from the staff great, what impressed me the most was the general manager's repour with guests, not like alot of hotels where a gm is invisible. Great hotel, keep up the good work.
Shopping Tip : support and buy from the street vendours, silver in particular is all hand made and great value

Clear,
Friendly,
Easy to find. The restaurant is too small and dirty It is easy to find and located at the center of connaught place. So, you can go any where easily. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. Moreover, the price is reasonable. However, the restaurant here is a little bit small and not clear enough. Over all I would comment all of you choose this place since it is not easy to find such a place with this price.
Restaurant Tip : Don't go to McDonald.

Unprofessional staff. Hot water not hot. Well located and a fair value. Fast, free internet is a plus. Airport pickup for R500 was convenient. But while enthusiastic, the staff is very poorly trained. Laundry dropped off was returned unwashed without explanation. Check out took ten minutes despite three staff present. You will only get help with bags if a tip seems likely. Water never really got hot. Rooms a bit less polished than what you will see in the photos. No elevator.

genuinely friendly staff who spoke very good english room was a bit on the small side but still not too cramped in a twin room. we were pleasently pleased with the nice staff who seemed genuinely concerned with customer satisfaction. they let us use the internet for free for nearly 2hours to book our onward travels!
resturant looks very nice and up market but at very resonable prices and the food was delicious with a varied menu. breakfast was all layed with lots of choice.
really nice complimentary Ayurdevic toiletries!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Dont go to the travel agent located accross the road out the back exit of the hotel! he tried to scam us by saying our confirmed trains were wait listed to try and get us to cancel and book through him! classic scam! BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOTEL!!!!!!!! the hotel helped make sure our train bookings were ok!

Good location. Clean room with satellite TV. Friendly staff who can speak good English. Decent hot breakfast. Room and bathroom was small - not much space to move around. The hotel is above shops making it a bit difficult to find at first. The shower water was luck warm, instead of hot. Overall, the room was adequate, clean and relatively fairly priced compared to other hotels around the same area of similar star rating. The hotel was ideally located in the Inner Circle of Connaught Place close to all the shops, restaurants, banks etc. However, our taxi driver found it a bit difficult to find as the hotel is above some shops. There is a sign however on a higher floor of the building so look out for that to identify it quickly.
I’ve read other reviews about the room being quite small, and this unfortunately turned out to be quite true. We stayed in a Standard room, so it may be different for other types of room. There wasn’t much space to move around, and it was difficult for two people to be in the bathroom at the same time.
Restaurant Tip : I read a fantastic review about a nearby Chinese restaurant called Zen which the author recommended, so I went there. The food was ok – nothing spectacular but reasonably tasty. The big plus side was that the portions were MASSIVE – the rice portion was 3 times bigger than any restaurant I’ve been to in the UK and the main was twice as big. Obviously we weren’t aware before ordering so had lots of leftovers which we asked to take away and gave to the beggars outside. Price was around £30 for two people including two glasses of wine, tax, service charge etc so again quite reasonable.

Very close to land mark and subway station.
Also all staff are very kind. The hotel's sign is very hard to find.
There is very small sign on the top of entrance. Basically, there is a good hotel.
Only problem is very hard to find the entrance.
It might be a better to come in from Restrant side (from Back side)

Great location, easy access to all tourist spots in Delhi. Friendly staffs. Tiny room and bathroom. To my opinion, it's over priced. It cannot be called a budget hotel for the price, but it's true for the facility. This hotel is well situated and close to every tourist spot in Delhi. Subway station is within a block. A lot of stores in front of the hotel. We had the best Chinese food out of China at a restaurant called Zen which is the same block. For the record, I am living in San Francisco.
Restaurant Tip : Zen has the best Chinese food in India, maybe the best out of China to my opinion. I had been so many Chinese restaurants around the world, it is the best ever that it provided most closest authentic Chinese food to me.

Good central location in Connaught Place, convenient for shopping, sightseeing and business. Rooms are clean and adequate. In room highspeed internet access Bathroom was a bit small and limited and it took a long time for the water to run hot. Breakfast was a bit limited This is a small but conveniently located hotel which offers reasonable value. The standard rooms are clean and adequate but a bit small and the bathroom is also a bit limited in space. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall I would describe thye hotel as adequate and in line with the pricing.

Good positioned in the center of Delhi; friendly and helpful staff. The pictures provided on their homepage and here in Agoda do not fit the real impression. Hotel rooms are too expensive compared to the level you will get for your money. In my room the walls were deeply wet obvious from an earlier water accident in the shower so that I had to shift my bed away from the wall to avoid wet bed sheets. A note on the mirror explained that water should run 3 min to turn to warm which was even not true after 10 min - not so great in December!!! And what for a waste of water in this dry time... The only real plus is a very friendly, helpful staff - and its good position in the center.
Shopping Tip : Nice and even fancy shops close to this hotel.

Service is not efficient nor sympathetic This hotel located in Conough Place sits discretely behind a cafe. The reception was ok and we were presented a honest room, quite noisy because directly on the road. Air conditioned works fine. We had problems with the staff though : inability to assume responsabilities (ironing on time, booking a taxi) and lack of cleanness at breakfast.

Centrally located, within walking distance from bars and restaurants. Clean rooms, very friendly staff. Nice garden for breakfast. Ask for a room with a window, some have no window. The Corus hotel is centrally located at Connaught Place, within walking distance from the most popular bars and restaurants, and this is very convenient. The staff are very friendly. There is a garden where you can have breakfast which is very pleasant. Only ask for a room with a window, some rooms do not have window, but some others have a veranda overlooking the Connaught Place!
Travel tip : Very good textile shop at Connaught Place, Inner circle, Bolock F.

I liked the kindness and politeness of employers, the central position of this hotel. very small room and two of three I've seen doesn't have a real window. Breakfast was absolutely poor and food was of a very bad quality. What I think about this hotel is that it could be a better accomodation if it was cheaper and for the price I've paid, I hoped to find something much better. So my suggestion to hotel manager is to improve the quality of service they offer and to take care of breakfast. More than this I suggest to post realistic picture in the hotel web site.
