“In the middle of nowhere”

The Grand New Delhi

4 of 5 stars
London UK
Dec 8, 2007

Great hotel - but in the middle of nowhere. It is more like an airport hotel location. The hotel from the inside is awesome. Great swimming pools, sauna etc, beautifully decorated (but small) rooms with nice bathrooms. Service was not very good (but hey this is Delhi). The location is just very bad, a lot of rubble and construction around the place and not views at all.

We would like to point out that the hotel does not have any rubble or construction as there are no works taking place on site. The customer refers to a new shopping mall complex under construction in the vicinity of the hotel that opens October 2008 that is affecting the landscape. The hotel has nice Pool view rooms and Garden view rooms. At 10 Acres, the hotel grounds are some of the largest in Delhi. We request guests state a preference if they have one at time of reservaton. We are indeed closer to the Airport than the city center. However, many clients who know Delhi and it's traffic prefer this.

“Good business hotel, convenient to airport”

The Grand New Delhi

4 of 5 stars
Ontario, Canada
Nov 1, 2007

Overall a reliable choice for business travellers to Delhi (was recommended to me by locals) when you don't need to stay in the center of Delhi. I'd stay here again on a return visit.

Pros
- Well appointed rooms with separate shower/bath. Bottled water provided in room.
- Good breakfast buffet, and also good lunch buffet .
- Close to the airport (flights can arrive very late in Delhi as mine did 1:30am)
- Airport pick up car service worked very well (book this ahead with the hotel, extra charge). (There is the traffic police's prepaid taxi service at the airport as well but I didn't use it.)
- Well equipped fitness center for a hotel, with around 10 different cardio bikes/treadmills/ellipticals and half a dozen weight machines plus free weights
- Attractive grounds and lobby area, well staffed and very good service

Cons
- Room rates in Delhi are high and The Grand is no exception. My cost was over $300/night including breakfast. You might want to book through a local if you have a contact for better rates.
- Location is south of the city, nothing to see withing walking distance today (a major new shopping mall is going up nearby so that will change in time). Travel time to center (Connaught Place / India Gate) or the Gurgaon business district can take 30+ minutes by car (hiring a driver for the day is advisable if you have multiple stops or just want to be sure of your transport back. Taxis aren't that common and traffic is nothing short of amazing--can be both chaotic and often jammed with bikes, pedestrians, and every imaginable vehicle on wheels).
- Some of the hotel carpet and furniture is tired and worn, but all the natural granite, wood and waterfalls more than make up for it.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Stone and wood work in the public areas
    • Disliked — Somewhat tired carpet and wear to furniture

Thank you for the positive comments. On one point the guest may have been unaware of that we have a taxi bay with at least 10 Taxis adjacent to the hotel building) for our guests, simply called via tannoy on request and Available 24hrs. Also, the 'Crazy' traffic is not localized to the hotel but is similar all over Delhi!

“Beautiful hotel”

The Grand New Delhi

5 of 5 stars
Houston
Oct 20, 2007

I stayed here for 2 weeks with a friend. This is a beautiful place with top quality service. In fact, they pretty much OVER serve you- by coming into your room like 4 times a day to do things, but I think thats part of the culture. Theres a lovely spa, nice gym, tranquel pool and just a nice place to stay. Outside the hotel is dirty and rough looking but thats the area of New Delhi.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — beautiful well maintained place
    • Disliked — the surrounding area is pretty dirty/polluted

“"Fantastic Hotel" !!!!!”

The Grand New Delhi

Oct 3, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed only 1 night early Sept 2007. Location is near airport (15 mins). Rooms large, clean and comfy. Price $300AU p/night incl b/fast. Restaurants (2) were excellent, we sampled Italian ($100AU incl alcohol, entree & main) and was good. Service in hotel was excellent. B/fast buffet best in India (on our 5 weeks holiday). Pool is large, heaps of sun lounges and quiet at this time (no children! Yeh!). Pool food/drinks (Beer $24AU for 2 bottles long) service non existent but that was sorted, quickly.

There is nothing outside hotel (vacant land and highway) so don't expect to go out wandering or "seeing" Delhi at night. Take auto into central Delhi (40 mins).

Hotel great for business and also tourist if in need of "a no hassle India" for a break. Good for next day flight. Taxi (ambassador) to airport Rs 150 max.

“spacious rooms”

The Grand New Delhi

Jul 27, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

As i walk through with my wife to the hotel it looked like walking to a mansion. A tremendous looby is waiting for you on your arrival. check in time taken by the front office was good.
we went to the room without any escort, that is really bad for a first timer in the hotel.
Rooms are excellent, spacious, neat and clean. breakfast was at cafe which is huge place only drop back of that area is that the buffet is at the last end of the cafe. for a person sitting on front section is quite annoying going to the buffet and helping himself again and again. service was excellent by the cheerful staff.
up keep of the place was not so good. all the points on the rating goes to the rooms andthe staff at the cafe.
