Luxury
by TripAdvisor Member fabauthor
The Manor is lovely. From being picked-up in a lovely, large air conditioned car and being offered hand-wash towels and drinks enroute to the hotel... then to the room, to the restaurant, and to the time we left... it was all lovely.
We had stayed at a few dives throughout our trip and were disappointed but not by The Manor. Service and staff were great. Room's were of an interesting and modern design and we slept in the most comfortable beds we had the whole time (barring Agra Sheraton - which also had lovely beds!)
We also hired the hotel's driver & car for a few hours for some sight-seeing around Delhi and were pleased with the service. Restaurant food was also great and a nice change to have something continental-ish rather then pure Indian.
Great stay, but not the ultimate
by TripAdvisor Member foryou
We stayed at The Manor for 3 nights and must say that the hotel itself is great. One must give credit to the small boutique size of the property which makes it really something amongst the big hotel chains in Delhi.
Service was outstanding, from the pick up at the trainstation to the reception and all the staff we interacted with during our stay. Very curteous, friendly, helpful and discreet if needed.
On the downside however I did miss a Guest Directory in the rooms, which I regard as a very useful tool for every guest in a foreign city. And it would pay off to train the staff remembering names and whether the guest like coffee or tea to avoid being asked every morning. Additionally, the carpets look very tired and need changing. tiled or wooden floor is easier to keep clean. They have a wonderful lawn and roof terrace which is hardly used (understand that the temperature was not really inviting for a lunch at 45C outside this time of the year), but the umbrella looked really shabby, and the chairs were always left were the guest had placed them a few days earlier. The material on the seats was dirty. the roof terrace is awesome but not inviting since in the evening no one placed candles or some sort of lights. we had to put our own cushions there... Check out was very efficient and the drop to the airport impeccable.
Overall, the hotel is good and definitely worth to stay there if you happen to be in Delhi.
Pefect finish for our holiday in India

We stayed 4 nights in August 2007. Had suite number 1, with an extra bed for our 14 year old daughter. Cost us 175 USD + 50 USD for the extra bed. Lovely room, lovely bathroom, lovely hotel, lovely restaurant...we took most meals at the hotel : awsome food, good complimentary continental breakfast (croissants, scrambled eggs on toast, sweetlime juice...). Friendly bar (played cards, read...). Great garden, terrace...Swimming pool in club nearby. Free internet. Super helpful and friendly staff. Arranged everything for us : car to aiport (complementary), taxis, henne... Quiet, comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Offered us cakes, fruits, chocolate at night... It was exactly what we needed after 15 tiring days in Northern India. We hioghly recommend this hotel !
A wonderful stay

After reading many of the reviews on this site, we decided to book the Manor during the last part of our stay in Delhi. We stayed at the Hyatt for two nights and then the Manor for four nights. I can't begin to express what a pleasant stay we had at the Manor. The rooms are nice, the food is outstanding and the service was incredible. Our driver, Jaga, was a wonderful guide and made us feel very safe in a city that can be overwhelming for the first time. The owner came and talked to us at dinner and is a very nice man and he even helped us in our purchase of a carpet. This hotel does not have the ammenities of other larger more expensive hotels, but it more than makes up for it in service and serenity.
The only place I hope I ever stay in Delhi.

The Manor overall is a fantastic place to stay.
Delhi was our first stop in India, and we really needed the haven of tranquility that the Manor provides while we tried to adjust.
The rooms and bathrooms are great (and clean of course) and very stylish, though perhaps a tad dark. But that's not too much of an issue as there are plenty of places to sit round the hotel. e.g. on the loungers on the deck, or the lawn where they will happily place loungers for you. The train noise did not bother us but perhaps we were on the right side of the hotel.
The food is excellent and the restaurant beautiful and quiet, and you can indulge in fresh raw vegetables without a second thought as they are grown by the Manor itself.
The staff are ridiculously helpful and will help you with anything that they possibly can.
Other services and features: There's a computer and desk provided in the passage area and the internet connection is good. The laundry service was also good and we had no problems with anything we got back, and thought that we probably could have trusted it with more than we did.
We had a slight problem with the pick up from the airport and had to wait around for a while, but as far as I can remember it came out that there wasn't a fault on the part of the hotel, and in any case the welcome we received when we arrived made up for the waiting.
If I ever return to Delhi I hope I wouldn't want to stay anywhere other than the Manor.
Peace in India

This was the one decent place we stayed in in India and it made a world of difference. Very cool place, peaceful and stylish. Good service and not that expensive though not sure how much we paid. Its not the best value for money we have had but worth spending up for. Good food in the restaurant and v helpful staff all round. Location is not great but worth the extra 15 mins journey. Overall top quality.

looking for Gypsy jeep hire in Delhi
by geor
Do anybody know where I could rent a small jeep like a Maruti Gypsy for self drive?
Ideally, I would like to rent it in Delhi.
Alternatively, do you know a rental company that could rent a bigger 4wd/SUV/MUV at reasonable prices?
Thanks a lot for your help!
