It was great experience after long flight, good airport welcome and convinient drive to hotel. Very classy good room size and comfortable bed. It was my sheer luck that Olympic torch was at this hotel..felt great and proud to see it. Cause of extra security there were little restrictions but every where saw Olympic environment. I am a sports lover so enjoyed. Got choice of pillow which was exceptionally good and interesting so had sound sleep both the days.

Room service was good but chinese restaurant was not operational.

Would feel its grreat value for money..will stay again

Mostly a business hotel--looks like an old-style Embassy Suites. (you know--atrium style with walkways around to the rooms). It's quite intimidating if you're afraid of heights.

The hotel interior is very dark. The gym is small, poorly equipped. But it is supposedly temporary. However, it's also not open when most business travelers can use it. (7:00 am - 8:00 pm during my stay).

The room itself is bright enough, and clean. No bathtub, shower only. Mediocre food, mediocre service, no decent fitness facility--all of this for a mere $450 per night.

I booked my room through spg.com as a Gold member. Room charges across all level are sky high these days as it is being peak season in Delhi. Since, I booked a club room airport transfers both ways were. A driver with my name on paging board was waiting at airport on arrival hence the start was good. At the hotel, the lobby was like a huge hall at extreme end of which was the reception desk. To my mind not a very nice design. At reception, I was greeted by a staff called Mayank who asked me if I was tired. As I had a long flight with transfer connection in between I said yes I was. Once I finished check-in formaility the staff concerned said that rooms were occupied as it was early morning and I would have to wait for a few hours. However, he would offer a room if I agreed to pay previous night room charges. And it was around 7am in the morning! Although I requested for early check-in when I made the booking but the staff at reception refused to budge showing the policy of the hotel. When I asked if I could go up to the Club lounge and wait he said it would not be possible until I was allocated a room. After an hour long wait in the lobby when I finally got into my room #1215 I was greeted with strong smell of tobacco smoke although I requested for non-smoking room. Immediately I called the front desk and reported my displeasure and insisted in a room change. But the answer was a flat 'no'. The explanation was that the rooms had wooden flooring hence all rooms had smoking facility. I just could not believe my ears. When most of the reputable hotels worldwide are switching to 'no smoking' policy here is one which has turned into 'full smoking'. As it was a short stay for just one night I would not make further comments about room decor, mood lighting (did not live up to my taste), bathroom (without a bathtub), room service, lounge service, etc. In one word they were all very mediocre. Delhi has some excellent hotels, like, Taj Mahal, Oberoi, Taj Palace, to name a few, this one should be placed right at the bottyom of the list of 5 star hotels in the Indian capital.

This hotel is part of the Starwood chain of hotels. It is a clean, modern hotel right in the centre of Delhi within walking distance of India Gate, the Indian Government Complex and Connaught Place. The rooms are modern , spaceous, clean and well equipped. There are 20 floors and all look down on an inner court yard. Don't have a room on the top floors if you are afraid of hights The look over the rails into the courtyard is frightening!

As an aside, don't call the Starwood 1-800 number if you want to arrange a pick up from the airport. The operator asked me which country Delhi was in and recommended to pick up a phone at the airport upn arrival. Now, if you have ever been to Indira Ghandi International, you know that there is no phone. Phone the hotel and arrange for the pick up and they send a driver, and it's free.
