There is some work going on in the hotel or in an adjoining building, which makes for some loud noises in the mornings in some rooms. We moved rooms once and although the construction noise abated with the move, around 5:00/5:30 there is a large sound akin to a wrecking ball bouncing on concrete! We have gotten used to it by now but you may want to ensure you have a quiet room when you check-in.
The location and staff, and the old architecture are worth the stay. The food, of course, is excellent. But nowhere else in Delhi can you go for an early morning walk or run along as tree-lined wide streets as in this neighborhood. Many of the old monuments are within easy reach. This is not your modern glass and steel tower; this is old world charm at its best. Give it a whirl. You will not be disappointed unless the old world holds no charms for you.
Special shoutout to Rabia and Tina at the front desk, Than at Lutyens, Pramod in housekeeping, and Kamlesh 1 and Kamlesh 2!! A special shoutout to Vinod manning the door -- he is an honest, gracious, hardworking man who is an asset to the Claridges' team.
