Hotel Tara Palace, Chandni Chowk

Please stay away from this horrible place. I just went inside to ask them very nicely if I could use their wifi for only one minute to contact my friend and they asked me why they should do that. I am explained that I had just arrived in India and didn't have any internet and they still refused to allow me to use their wifi for only one minute. My friend was meeting me there at their location and I needed to let him know I had arrived. Still they refused. They were most unfriendly and undesirable people to deal with. The area around the hotel is absolutely disgusting and the reception was extremely dirty. Please do yourselves a favor and book somewhere elsr

I really enjoyed this hotel. It is simple and the staff very friendly. It is situated in one of the most sensory stimulating part of town but we felt quite safe here. The balcony and roof top gives you a good view of the chaos below. I would recommend this if you are looking for a simple and reasonably quiet place in the centre of the chaos of chandni Chowk.

Clean, excelent service, quiet, spacy room. The area looks a little scary at first sight but it´s safe, no worries. Centric, interesting places around. It worth it. Walking distance to the red fort, the Jama Masjid, many temples, metro station, in the middle of the market.

Basic room, but very clean bathroom and good airconditioning. No safe but secure lock up room with basic bed and limited linen. No bottled water provided. In the area of the markets so very busy surrounds but if you are aware, this is a great location for the hustle and bustle and near Arun Jatley Cricket Ground which is why I chose this site. Friendly check-in team and experience

The hotel itself is nice the rooms are clean and spacious. The food is very good and quick room service. The staff is helpful and courteous. The neighborhood in Chandi Chowk is a bit discomforting. While it's very close to Red Fort and Jama Masjid the hotel itself is hidden in an alley inaccessible to transportation and honestly not safe for families. As a solo male backpacker it was ideal and budget friendly.

Slightly worried of the area this was situated in initially but, the hotel was perfectly comfortable and clean.

Appalling hotel. I understand it was a decent place at one point but it's now extremely unclean with very poor service. Have to ask several times to get the room cleaned, and when it is it's hardly cleaned - just bed remade and the bathroom barely cleaned. The bathrooms are wet rooms, which are fine if cleaned, but these bathrooms are dirty. There is one very pissed-off boy who never sleeps and does all security and cleaning etc alone. He spends about two minutes cleaning the room, that's if he ever gets round to it. Not entirely his fault, the hotel should have more staff. You have to insist on every little thing several times, you can't assume that towels will be changed or bins emptied etc. Also the hotel has no duvets. Very stingy on all things, from pillows to loo roll. You basically have to beg for loo roll before every time you go to the toilet. You have to call to have the hot water turned on, takes half an hour to heat the water, and then when you turn the hot water tap on you have to fill 3 buckets with cold water before any hot water arrives. so something as simple as taking a shower takes planning and patience. All this would be fine if it was cheap but it's £35 a night; I stayed in Aiwan-e-Shahi for half that, with friendly staff, regular room cleaning, clean bathrooms, running hot water, a great restaurant with a great view and a better location in the same area. (btw this hotel has turned its dining room into a store room)

I have stayed at the Tara Palace so many times that I cannot count. The staff are wonderful. The hotel is at a good distance from the noisy street and this you are assured a good night’s sleep. And the food is definitely worth eating! I will always consider the Tara Palace my home in Delhi.

I've stayed at this hotel at least two dozen nights in the past, favoring it for it's simple, consistent service, and great location. My first time staying since the pandemic, I can no longer recommend this hotel. A large room with a balcony view of the fort was replaced with a small closet overcrowded with furniture and with no exterior window. No AC remote was provided, so to turn the ac on or off you have to unlock the door and turn it off in the hallway. No remote was provided for the TV either. The dining hall, where breakfast was served is now being used as a storage room and breakfast had to be taken in the room. I received at least six unsolicited phone calls asking me to order food from the restaurant. I had to pay for bottled water when I arrived. Some sort of construction in the building could be heard at most hours of the day. Simple things that this hotel used to do right.
