Hotel Tara Palace, Chandni Chowk

A great location in Old Delhi, all the sites are walking distance away. The best part was the included airport pick up which is fabulous when you arrive to India for the first time. The included breakfast was also one of the best we had in all of India. A great place to stay.

Staffs didn't show a good hospitality. Their card payment machine is not working. They don't have any alternative for this. Although they have mentioned free pick and drop from Airport during booking, they didn't offer the same. Overally I'll say I had a bad experience about the hotel.

Pleasant enough budget hotel but note that many rooms do not have outside windows if you want light and fresh air. Some trivial stuff left unlocked disappeared from my room so be extra vigilant.

The entry to the hotel is totally deceiving, because once through the doors it is another world with the most helpful, friendly staff you could hope for. We really enjoyed our stay there.

There is not many hotels in Old Delhi, this hotel is one of the few that is situated in Old Delhi, and is a 5 minute walk to the red fort. The only problem with this hotel i found was the fact that there was no wifi in the room, to use wifi you have to use it at the reception area. This hotel gives you a complimentary breakfast which is good and overall it's value for money.

It's a glorified hostel in the heart of Old Delhi, if you want to be close to the real Delhi this is the place. Yes it's in an alley but it's as safe as any other part of town and the proximity to the Red Fort and markets is perfect for exploring on foot. There's free Internet in the lobby, they try really hard with breakfast, the beds are clean and the water is hot. Nothing fancy just a good economic option.

I recommend this hotel to anyone going to Delhi. It is quiet and clean and newly renovated. The location is perfect, 5 minutes from the Red Fort. The staff has been very nice. Really, no hesitation!

We booked one double and one triple room for two nights, and everything was ready when we arrived. The facilities were very basic, but that is what we were expecting. We wanted the location, and that was the best thing about the hotel - walking distance to the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Karim's Cafe and Chandni Chowk!

We picked Tara Palace because of the location which is great, within easy walking distance of the Mosque, the old city, and the Red Fort. (It is easy to get a tut-tut to other sightseeing areas but you need to negotiate). The hotel was clean and the room spotless. Shower worked well and water was hot and even though there was no shower curtain the water did not spritz everywhere. Staff very accommodating including arranging airport pickup. They gave us a 24 hr. phone number for emergencies. Breakfast was fine, not buffet but had several choices. We found the travel agent across the alley from the hotel was very helpful in planning our stay, making hotel bookings, arranging a driver for us, etc. We worked with Mubarak and he was pleasant, had good English, and was not pushy. The hotel put us in touch with him. The only negative I have is that the area around the hotel is not great, and the hotel itself is down a small alley so is hard to find at first. However, it is not an unsafe area, just an old city area. We found the room quiet and we feel the hotel is very good value for the money.

While located in the bustling and hectic Chandni Chowk, the stay at the Hotel Tara Palace provides a respite from the day's activities. There is easy access to the Red Fort and Jama Masjid and a few blocks away is a Metro station that connects you with the entire city. The staff and service were superb and extremely helpful with a first time visitor to India. And if you dine at their restaurant, try the vegetable biriyani.
