Frommer's Review

Not far from Lodi Gardens and Humayun's Tomb, this hotel -- operating since 1945 -- has an old-fashioned edge, with plenty of wood paneling and understated luxury. It's not particularly elegant, and standard guest rooms are small and cluttered, but it does provide good value. Our recommendation is to book a superior guest room (only $10 more), where French doors open onto private balconies. The bathrooms are large and enjoy natural light. Also pretty good value ($180) is the suite-size executive room, where a sliding door divides the bedroom from the comfortably furnished sitting room; sadly, the original Victorian fireplaces are now used for potted plants. Guests are entitled to make use of the extensive facilities offered by the flagship Taj Mahal hotel. The Yellow Brick Road coffee shop is bright and laid-back, with an open-kitchen concept and an ode-to-early-20th-century Americana decor. Less opulent and grandiose than some of the other upmarket hotels in town, this is a comfortable alternative with less formal but pleasant service.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; restaurant-bar; travel desk; currency exchange; bookshop; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; Wi-Fi enabled; babysitting; doctor-on-call; access to Taj Mahal hotel facilities
