Ajanta Hotel New Delhi

"Very friendly atmosphere (we have stayed there before, last time 18 months ago, and many of the staff remembered us and seemed pleased to welcome us back). Rooms were small but quite adequate for our needs. Food in the restaurant (breakfast and evening meals) was good. We will use the Ajanta again on future visits to India." - Christopher Taylor

"This is a decent low budget hotel. The restaurant has an OK menu and hygene was fine. They can help you with tickets without (as far as I could understand) any commission." - Anonymous

"The hotel is nice enough and the room we had was clean and comfortable. The location is good for the train station and sightseeing. But after persuading us to upgrade our room, which we did quite happily as it was a nice room, the staff lost all interested in us. We wanted to book train tickets for the next day and they were less than helpful, so much so we went to the train station and booked it ourself, even though the hotel staff told us that the reservations office was closed until the evening, it was not!!!!! One note to make is that the Lonelyplanet guide used to list the Ajanta, now they have dropped it. I would recommend the Grand Goodwin hotel which is next door, we stayed there when we returned to Delhi. The rooms are lovely and clean, the service is helpful and friendly, the rates are lower than the Ajanta and include breakfast, if you are leaving early in the morning they will pack you a breakfast to take with you, it is also listed in the Lonely Planet." - Christine Beard

"Very good restaurant attached to hotel. Neighbourhood is not in a good condition. Construction going on inside till late at night. Reservations desk tried to over-charge as they didn't know that taxes are already included in the Ratestogo online booking. We were shown 5 rooms, none of them suitable, and had to make do with 2 twin beds although I was staying with a child and specifically confirmed a double bed before arrival. Room service needed to be asked repeatedly to get things done. Overall, ok. " - Anonymous
