Hotel Palace Heights

Frommer's Review

Considering its location in the very heart of Connaught Place and just a 2-minute walk to the Rajiv Chowk Metro station, this contemporary upgrade of a former hovel (under the same name but different ownership for 50 years) is a real find. Two things: It is not a palace, and the only sense of height you'll get is the view from either the restaurant or the rooftop terrace, from where you can watch the mayhem on the street below or the fairly ugly urban scene created by the surrounding Connaught Place buildings. Accommodations, which occupy a single floor, have been entirely refurbished in a modern, clean aesthetic: wall-mounted plasma TVs, small marble bathrooms with glass-walled showers, and fairly comfortable mattresses, all packaged in a neutral, pleasing palette. Windows, thankfully, have both blinds and curtains to keep out the unsightly "view" of adjacent premises (and double glazing to keep out the noise). While it's not a place to be if you need dozens of amenities and space to roam, you can rest assured that the manager, Mr. Mahipal Singh Rawat, goes beyond the call of duty to assist guests and make them feel comfortable and safe. If you're in town with an urgent need to be in a very central location, and don't demand too much from your lodgings, this is a great value.
