My wife and I stayed a couple nights at the Intercontinental Nehru Place after wrapping-up a one-month trip in Rajasthan.
Delhi is expensive, and hotels are often poor value. This hotel is not cheap (around $230 after taxes), but it's a plush, comfortable, quiet hotel that is good value for Delhi.
This hotel is beautiful and opulent, as you would expect of a hotel of this price range and class. We stayed here in January 2007 for a couple of nights at either end of a golden triangle tour. The rooms are lovely, furnished well and with a super bathroom (see uploaded photos). My parent’s room did smell of smoke but they were given a non-smoking room when they asked to change so no problem there. The bed was definitely the highlight- it was like sinking in to a cloud! We slept wonderfully. Unfortunately with a hotel of this price the facilities of the hotel were also very expensive, to the point of being unreasonable (in our opinion). An hour of internet was priced at 600 Rs (7 GBP) and when we had to make two urgent 10 minute STD calls to Chennai (south India) from the room we were shocked upon checkout to be charged 2700 Rs for this (over 30 GBP). We were also told at checkout rather abruptly that we had to pay for our breakfast! So we then had to insist that they check the booking and that breakfast was indeed included in our rate. This was a bit of a pain, and the reception staff were quite difficult, but they did eventually concede their mistake once they had checked the booking. Overall, a beautiful hotel with gorgeous beds, but careful they don’t con you on all the extras unless your company is picking up the bill!
Stayed at this property twice, and had a fabulous stay both times. On our first stay, we arived after midnight, yet it seemed that the entire staff came out to greet us in a receiving line. We were presented with a wrapped gift (a photobook of India) and whisked up to our room, an 1100 sq ft suite. The suite was full of fruit platters, cookies, and flower arrangements, including a 3 foot tall arrangement in the bedroom. The suite was immaculate, and rollaway beds were made up for the children. Both bathrooms were supplied with every imaginable amenity, and the bed was heavenly. On Xmas morning stockings were left on our door, filled with cookies and candies for the kids and miniature liquor bottles for the adults. Service in the breakfast restaurant was extremely attentive, yet unobtrusive, and the staff presented us with more gifts. The club lounge is very comfortable, with very nice attentive staff, and excellent snacks (tandoori shrimp, samosas, sushi, veggies, cheeses, etc., etc.); the only tiny minus is that due to liquor laws, children are not allowed in the club lounge when alcohol is being served. The restaurant Singha Sahib was truly amazing; much, much better than the acclaimed Bukhara at the Sheraton. Upon departure, the restaurant staff packed us a huge complementary lunch to eat on our voyage to Agra. Simply a perfect stay, and we truly felt like royalty.
Superb! Came here from the awful Ashok and it was like a different world. Superb staff, clean and efficient, great restaurants. Not quite so central but you always use taxi anyway and it is a price worth paying for this real quality.
Would come again to experience the sheer delight of such a great hotel.
Clean, tidy and polite staff, from the bell boy to the duty manager nothing was too much. I would stay here again without question.
India is expensive currently as there is a shortage of good quality hotel rooms. This hotel costs a similar amount to some much poorer properties in New Delhi perhaps 20% more but worth the investment
This is such a fantastic 5 star hotel. So beautiful and sparkling clean with fantastic service and food. The Spa and gym is great and they have a beautiful outdoor pool. If you do not have a reason to be closer to the city this is a good choice. However my problems started on the InterContinental Reservation line. I spoke to a friendly woman who quoted me a price for a Club Room and I booked my reservation. I was soon contacted and told that she made a mistake and no price existed for the Club Room Category. I let them know that was not my fault and that they should still honor the quoted price. They eventually did and a division of InterContinental Hotels ended up picking up the tab for the 3,000 rupee difference. That was only my first problem. I was there for a special occasion and soon found that the room above was having major construction. We had to listen to pounding and jackhammers for 3 days. I became very from what had to be the hotel food and had to extend my stay by 1 night. I was contacted 4 times by phone by different front desk emplyees to let me know that I would be paying a much higher rate for the extra night. In addition, I receieved a note under my door and the duty manager called to be sure that I knew this. It was excessive and not very good timing given my stomach illness. The last straw was when I shut the dressing room closet and the glass shelf of the bar collapsed (the bolt fell out of the wall) and the entire shelf and contents of the mini bar shattered on and around me feet. This was not only inconvenient by dangerous. I called and house keeping was sent to clean the mess but I was never contacted by anyone else to check as to my condition after the misahap. Upon checkout they tried to charge me for the broken bottles though I had made sure that the Manager knew of the situation. Any problems that you may encounter in this hotel are brushed over. They want to pretend that everything is perfect when in fact it is not. They also tried to charge me for a much higher rate and I had to insist that the Duty Manager get involved. Forget trying to get access to t he GM as they will not allow it. This hotel has big problems. It is a shame as it is so gorgeous. The service in the restaurants and the room attendants is fantastic. It is just the management and front desk personnel that are a problem.

Anybody knows Hotel Sahara Resort ? An agent booked for me, but I only found Sahara Hotel, not Sahara Resort. Are they the same ? How it looks like ? Just one night after my late arrival in New Delhi.
Thanks.
Still got no reply. Please advise then Sahara Resort Complex on Vasant Kunj. I have no idea where it is in New Delhi because I have never been in India.
There's just one "sahara" in vasant kunj (VK). It used to be an indian restaurant. Maybe they've added rooms now. I ve been to the restaurant but dont really know what else they have and how good the rooms are.
VK is about 25 mins from the airport - not very far and there is a bowling alley and a fast food joint opposite the sahara complex. However , other than that , its not a very "good" area and isnt well connected with public transport and getting autos or taxis from sahara to elsewhere can be a problem. Since you will be there just for one night , its should be okay. Avoid venturing out later than midnight though - esp on foot. A definite no-no.
Do not loos your motion...
Yes, I have found it now. It is called Khatri Hotel and I think it is in the same area as Sahara Restaurant.
Thanks for your good advice.
We just flew back from a package tour(Dhesu Travels)from Delhi. Food at the Sahara Restaurant and the rooms were nice, even the buffet breakfast. A few recommended hotels where we stayed are: The Gold Palace & Resorts, Kukas, Amer, JAIPUR- it is on the outskirts, nice rock garden at the rear, with another huge garden right in front and a lovely swimming pool. Rooms were clean and roomy,with TV,etc. food was fresh and tasty. WE were on a group tour, so we have no problems with transportation, but it is out of the city.
In Agra we were given the Hotel Yamuna View, formerly known as Hotel Agra Ashok, 6-B, The Mall. The smaller rooms were clean and have similiar room facilities as the Gold Palace. The swimming pool didn't appear too inviting. Meals were so-so, but dinner at the Chinese Restaurant in the hotel is much better. The garments sold at the hotel shop is reasonable with slight bargaining discounts.
For shopping at Delhi I recommend ALL tourists to Babu Market, Sarojini Nagar.
They close on Mondays but you can spend hours and hours there. They might not have the branded stuff but if it's value for money,that's the place to be- Goyal Textile (73-74) sells ladies dresses esp. sari materials, nice kurtas, 6 shops away...
