Sattal Vacations from $750

A superb place to stay ...

No hangers, no closet, no towels. I had to call Reception multiple times. The Receptionist apologized and said the hotel was newly open.

I have always found my visits over the years to the Eros Hotel in Delhi, first class in service, cleanliness, food and always get a good nights sleep. Just a pity the Eros does not have a loyalty programme!

The Oberoi, New Delhi certainly carries the weight of its brand reputation, and while it delivers on many fronts, it doesn’t quite justify the premium price tag in every aspect. The staff are attentive and clearly trained to be proactive in service, but the warmth can sometimes feel a bit forced—more eager than genuine. It’s a small detail, but in a luxury property, authenticity matters. Breakfast offers a good variety with quality ingredients and well-prepared dishes. It’s satisfying and enjoyable, though not particularly memorable or groundbreaking. The Chinese restaurant is a letdown when it comes to value. The ambiance is elegant, and the food is good—but for the price, it doesn’t quite hit the mark. You’re left with the sense that you’re paying more for the name than the experience. Rooms are what you’d expect from a five-star Oberoi property—spacious, tastefully designed, and comfortable. No complaints there, but again, nothing that really surprises or delights beyond the expected. Overall, The Oberoi, New Delhi is a good hotel that ticks many of the right boxes. But for the price you pay, you’d expect something more memorable, more exceptional. It’s a solid stay—just not the “mind-blowing” experience one might hope for at this level.
