Hotel Tara Palace New Delhi

"Hotel manager tried to do private business. Beware what price you pay, the hotel is advertised in AUD $50 range, however local price and hotel quality is more around AUD $15. We were very disappointed by this hotel. However, location is quite nice: directly in old delhi, walking distance to red fort. " - Anonymous

"Impressively clean and well kept hotel. Located in the heart of the city with excellent access to everything (but do keep in mind that Delhi is very chaotic and hence so are this hotel's surroundings). The room (201) was quiet, except for the fact that one could easily hear the sounds of the doors being opened and shut in the corridor. The staff was extremely helpful but the food served for dinner was quite spicy (didn't unfortunately have the opportunity to have breakfast due to very early departure). Excellent internet access in the room (through cable) but not the best of TV receptions. Overall a surprisingly good experience in Delhi!" - Julia Leijola

"This hotel is newly renovated (Apr 07). Room facilities is quite good and modern compared with other budget hotels (indian standard) in Delhi and Mumbai. Located in an alley in Old Delhi, near Red Fort. No email reply about free airport pickup, but finally after a phone call, agree to pick up. " - Anonymous

"The hotel is very close to many tourist attractions such as the Red Ford and Jama Mashid, however, the area is not clean but for me it was ok since I go out most of the day. And the hotel is not in a main road so please remember to take a walk around the hotel to remember the area instead of getting lost at night. If you get lost just ask for the Cycle Market, or look for McDonalds which is within a walking distance from the Cycle Market in which the hotel is located. The TV. has many channels but most of them are Hindi, the restaurant's menue is for Vegetarians (no meat dishes). The hotel can get a little bit noisy at night (people talking near rooms) but you can always contact a member of staff. Last but not least, Hotel staff are very friendly and they can arrange a very cheap "whole day" taxi. And please remember, this is not Hilton or the Ritz." - KHADIJA AZZUZ
