Bhiwani Vacations from $1,934

My wife and I were disappointed to see that the room was not cleaned to our liking. The bed had hair in it which made me think that they didn't change the sheets. I asked for the sheets to be changed and they changed it. The bathroom was not cleaned properly. There were watermarks on the mirror, the base of the toilet was not clean, there was clearly visible calcium deposits on the shower head and other metal fixtures. The walls of the shower were not cleaned. The toilet seat was not tightened properly so it was crooked and leaned to the right side of the toilet until I fixed it. Overall I was extremely concerned about the complete lack of effort. Things that were left not done were baffling. 5 mins of cleaning would have made a world of difference. I didn't try the food because if the room wasn't clean then I couldn't trust the food either. The only positive was the roof deck area. It was nice looking and a good place to relax.

The room was modern and clean. Much cleaner than most in India. My room had a kitchenette with coffee and fridge. The location set back from the street helped reduce the noise. Breakfast was good and served on a pleasant rooftop. The staff was very nice. Their Travel Agency helped me arrange a trip to the Taj Mahal. I would recommend this hotel as a single traveler.

I decided to stay for 22 days in New Delhi because I wanted to visit all of the museums and historical sites and to just kind of "live" in the city for a while. I am a retired teacher still learning about the world. I stayed at one hotel for 7 days in Karol Bagh and then decided to stay at this hotel because they had a very friendly hotel guard sitting outside the front door whom I passed by frequently. He looked like a good guy, so I stayed at his hotel. And he was a good guy; he would answer my questions and help me when I needed things - he was a real asset to the property. I'm giving the property a good review because of him. God bless the guy. May he be happy forever. My only caveats - I had trouble finding my first hotel in this hotel zone of Karol Bagh (maybe I had a bad e-rickshaw driver). This is a clean and upscale hotel in Karol Bagh, which is not very clean and where you will be bothered by e-rickshaw guys a lot to take rides with them. There are acceptable restaurants to eat at. No nightlife (one "club" gave me a teeny amount of scotch and filled the glass with plastic bottled water). The Ramakrishna Ashram Blue Line Metro is close by. Tickets are super inexpensive, but there are long lines (and people cutting in). Buy a 3-Day Tourist card for 500 rupees if you can, but sometimes the Customer Care booth operator will tell you they don't have them. Sometimes a booth guy will make a phone call and someone will bring one to him. Good luck in New Delhi.

Great experience staying in this hotel. Highly recommend!
