Hotel Ajanta

We got to Delhi completely tired and were surprise by discovering this hotel was in an awful and unsafe area. It was very hot (the outside temperature was 40C/100F) and when we got to our room and turned the air conditioning on, in a matter of 5 minutes it started leaking and all the floor and our suitcases flooded. We asked for help and the employees just brought buckets, but didn't fixed the issue; so we had to sleep with the air off (at 40 degrees). The bathroom was horrible, like the ones in the highways, with no toilet paper and no running water (we were supposed to instead use a bucket). The shower wasn't working as well so we couldn't shower. The bed had no sheets and we had to ask for them (they were expecting for us to sleep in the mattress and on a filthy cover) On the next day, we spoke to the hotel manager and at first it seemed he was going to be helpful, but he just kept us waiting, loosing our time, and offering us a change of room when what we wanted was to get out of there immediately. We tried to ration with him about getting our money back for the next upcoming nights but he refused. He was rude and not empathetic. Our first day in India was absolutely ruined for this experience...

Nice hotel, food is good , but they tried to put me in a standard room whereas I have paid for a deluxe room, on complaing they changed the room, so,my suggestion is room should be allotted as per booking, otherwise people will feel ditched.

We had an excellent very large and comfortable room. Great breakfast buffet and restaurant, with friendly and helpful staff.

The cleanliness of the room in general were ok besides the fact that we had dirty bedsheets (with bloodstain and yellow spots). Other blankets were delivered... they also had stains but did smell "fresh". The main issue was the staff... only one member of staff greeted us throughout our stay!! The uniforms were also very dirty and in general the male staff just looked scruffy. They have many names from regular guests on the doors, but for sure we will never return!

Important to arrange airport/train pick-up. Can be done through the hotel - worked well for us. Delhi is quite difficult to navigate, particularly if it's your first time. Hotel is fine - staff very willing to help. Good advice given re sightseeing in the area especially if its your first time there

Ajanta Hotel was great. Would recommend it to friends and family. Price is good for the type of room. Clean rooms, service is great. Breakfast is fantastic. Would choose this hotel again for my future visits.

Clean and comfortable

Pahargange is one of the noisiest, busiest areas in Dehli as it's so close to the main railway station, but as a solo female traveller I have found it very comforting and safe to walk around for that very reason..lots of people, lots of tourists, and the Hotel Ajanta, although really central, had amazingly quiet rooms. I had booked a room with a window, but on arrival (late after 10pm) was given an internal room with no window but I was tired and it was late so I accepted it. However, next morning, even though I'd had a good nights sleep, it did feel a little claustrophobic for me, so I asked for a window room and was happily taken around 3 different rooms and given a choice. I actually decided to upgrade, for not a whole lot more money, to a larger 'suite' with a lovely balcony on the 4th floor as I was going to be there for 4-5 days. It was great. Staff on reception extremely helpful, as were all the other staff. Will definitely use again.

Stay was good.. staff were nice and pleasant. The food was very good and tasty.

This hotel was handy for walking or a tuk tuk to the New Delhi Train Station where we purchased train tickets from the Foreign Tourist Office upstairs. We stayed 2 nights. The breakfast was good, the restaurant food very good and the coffee shop opposite was good for people-watching. Our room was located above the coffee shop and was not as well kept as similarly priced rooms from experience. The housekeeping staff knocked on the door at 5.50pm and we felt this was too late to clean the room. There is a travel advisor who gave us good information but 3 times tried to convince us to use a private car. The street outside the hotel is very busy and noisy with horns, shouting and dogs barking. This reduces considerably between 2am-5am. Definitely the noisiest road I have ever stayed on. It was handy to have the restaurant and coffee shop there but I would recommend looking for a more modern hotel that is looked after well with better windows even if they are not double glazed.
