Hotel Tara Palace, Chandni Chowk

A rudimentary hotel, generally clean enough, in the middle of Old Delhi. Surprisingly comfortable beds, decent service.

We were frightened to get out of the cab when we saw the droopy sign, the dark alley, and the messiness of the neighborhood, but the hotel is fine, if a bit odd, and Old Delhi is unique.

Much better than I expected. Met Indian on train who spoke English and wondered why we would choose this area to stay. It was much better than he led us to believe. Close to Red Fort and Metro which can conveniently link you to the rest of Delhi and airport. Staff very friendly and helpful and speak good english

good clean hotel but in a bad slum. so dark out side that at 10 pm on main road a small truck ran over my foot and no body seems to bother.no doctors around. all services in hotel are expensive spacialy if u arrange a taxi through hotel or hire a car. day time receptionist was polite and helpfull but overall image was bad. only stay in this hotel if u been in india before and know where u going.

Impressed with room service, friendliness and helpfulness of staff, nothing was too much trouble. Room was cleaned daily including change of sheets.

Room was not cleaned, staff was very rude and expected tips for simple things such as answering questions! Do not use travel info office, they will rip you off! I have traveled to India over 15 times and this hotel by far is the worst I have ever stayed at! Taxi service to location took over 2 hours because they "forgot" about us.

I stayed at the Hotel Tara Palace during an academic research trip - a lone female traveller. I have visited India many times previously so the decision to stay in the 'authentic' and intensely busy Old Delhi area was an informed one. It offered instant access to packed bazaars and incredible (albeit dilapidated) architecture. The hotel is located in a small alley and has no grounds. If you value a view from your room or external space to chill out then this is not the hotel for you. Also, the hotel does not have a lounge, so does not work for meetings. Otherwise it offers excellent friendly service, incredible cleaners, delicious veggie food, spacious rooms, and good value for money. The in-room WiFi was flaky at times, though a more reliable connection was always available in the foyer. The shower is quite basic but does the job. For the price this is an excellent hotel. Don't expect boutique hotel facilities - you're not paying for them!

small way to the hotel. cars can not go to the hotel. it is heavy to reach the hotel

The Hotel Tara Palace is arguably the best location for anyone wanting an honest colourful taste of Old Delhi. Step out and walk to many tourist hotspots. We were picked up from the airport late evening and arrived at what seemed a scarry neighbourhood. I remember reading " be brave " sure enough we were escourted down a laneway to find a charming old building with attractive marbel flooring throughout and a lift to carry your luggage upstairs. We slept peacefully and in airconditioned comfort. While there are no hot bubble baths to be had, room service is good and the meals are good. If you want a view then climb the stairs to the roof top to see the Red Fort & Jama Masjid while you sip your morning chai tea. I will definately stay there again, there is too much to see.

This was a return trip to the hotel and we felt like old friends with the greeting we were given.
