This is a high tariff hotel so guest expectations are high. It’s very popular for lunch and evening dinner with outside tourists including larger groups. There is a set vegetarian/non veg option which attracts the groups. Al la carte is also available. Our advice is to reserve a specific table. The hotel is not currently using its advertised rooftop restaurant but some guests took sundowners here. We enjoyed the Indian high tea at 2,000 p/p. The dinner is well presented. It will cost approximately 4,000 -5,000 for a couple. We enjoyed the traditional music during dinner and the dancing which is a shorter performance than we expected, on the upper balcony and completed twice a night over the weekend. It’s in a prime location to experience Chandni Chowk, red fort, Jain temple and Jama Masijd. This is what you’re paying for. We took a guide initially and then dipped back in and out independently. We found it congested but safe. We enjoyed flying a kite one afternoon. The rooms are comfortable but the traditional music is constant from 7-10pm which can affect rest in the rooms. Bring ear plugs if this bothers you. We liked the room names linked to location and brief history. Photos displayed the renovation of the Havelli. The transfer is smooth if you are prepared to pay the higher price for a taxi at arrival and departure. Staff are amenable and servers are proud of their traditional dishes. The hair dryers need modernisation for speed and ease of use. We loved the recommended reading book in the room and will read and purchase once home. It’s a unique experience, stretching the budget depending on your view. Breakfast is adequate but doesn’t wow again for the price point.
