    Finding a hotel in Delhi can be a challenge...if you're looking for what I like. I want a good, comfortable place, and a place with some character. And, I'd like to NOT drop $350-$400 a night for a standard hotel room. In Delhi, there are plenty of fine hotels that are just pricier than I'd like. And, there seem to be a plethora of places that I'd call "3 stars" for varous reasons.... it may be that the neighborhood isn't as good, the service lacking, the rooms too small... all sorts of reason.

    For that reason alone, the Maidens Hotel is a true find. Built in 1903, this is a Raj period (the time of British rule) classic, a classy old dame of a hotel. In some places and ways, the hotel may be a bit worn. But, the service is excellent, the rooms are HUGE and comfortable. And the welcome is genuine and heartfelt.

    We generally travel with our daughter Sara. In some places, we buy two rooms. In others, we go for a triple or larger room, maybe a suite. The Maidens was perfect in this endeavor. We were given a good sized room that had an extra/separate office and sitting area, into which another small bed had been placed for Sara. Perfect.

    The morning breakfast was of good quality and again the service was top-drawer. You really can't go wrong with the Maidens. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE MORE IMAGES OF THE MAIDENS, PLEASE SEE MY MAIDENS HOTEL TRAVELOGUE ON THIS PAGE. This really is a nice place to stay, I'm sure you'll agree when you see the photos.

    The Maidens Hotel is actually a property owned by India's ritzy Oberoi group. Most of their hotels are 5-star plus palaces boasting per room pricing of well over $500/night. The Maidens seems to be one of their newer acquisitions, aiming for the slightly lower than ultra grand deluxe class. We also stayed at another Oberoi property in Agra, of the same ilk. (The Triden, formerly a Hilton property)

    The most unique quality for me is the location and the ambience. Located in Old Delhi, you are in the heart of the old city, with many of the monuments and architectural treasures within easy reach. There's also teeming and boisterous Chandni Chowk for your exploration. We didn't use it, but I'm also told that there is a stop for the brand-new Delhi underground/metro within a few hundred feet of the Maidens.

    And although it's in the midst of Old Delhi, the Maidens is situation in a large walled garden, and is quite shielded from the clamor. This is a peaceful and relaxing oasis amid the Old Delhi chaos.

    You'll be impressed with the past history and grandeur of the place, and you'll also appreciate the nicely maintained and effective 21st century air conditioning system. :)

    BTW, I communicated directly with the Maidens staff several times. The general manager is a pleasant fellow named Ashish Sikand. If you go and stay here, please ask to meet him personally, and tell him that Pete Chamlis from Florida says Namaste. :) (gm@maidenshotel.com)

  • I stayed here for 2 nights in June of 2005, and was extremely pleased. The rooms were the largest I've seen in India, with modern facilities, great air con, and kept immaculately clean. The grounds are really lovely, and make a great escape from the chaos of Delhi. The location is the one drawback, since it's a little far out. But it's a very short walk to get taxis, unless you want to pay a higher price for the 24 hour taxis on call through the hotel (more expensive, but zero hassle). All in all, I'd definitely recommend it.

    Large pool, tennis courts, nice outdoor cafe.
