Hotel Ajanta was a pleasant place to stay. During our vist the hotel was under going renovations which was somewhat disruptive. We asked to move rooms and they were very good about it. The rooms were smaller that the pitures led us to believe but it was clean and comfortable. The staff was very professional and helpful.

My friend and I stayed here for 5 nights I believe and the location of this hotel isn't good at all, I didn't feel very safe going outside the hotel alone, then again I don't think there is a good spot in Delhi besides the expensive Taj Mahal Hotel thats located outside the city center. It was a nice hotel, it has an old elevator that is quite small […] but has a nice old charm to it. The hotel has a good rooftop restaurant that we ate at a few nights. The people who work here try to sell you tours etc that you don't want and the internet isn't free but cheap. The electricity went out in our room twice though once was the whole hotel. Also if you are staying with just friends the bathrooms are kinda see though that have a film on them so you only see a shadow of the person in the bathroom, I didn;t like it too since I was just with a friend of mine. I would only stay here if you were on a serious budget otherwise I would spend a little more money for a nicer hotel. Read more

The first night we stayed we were in a room with two dinky twin size bed. But we had to bunk for only 3 hours so we took it. Uncomfortable as heck. The second time we stayed we upgraded to Deluxe room and asked for a king bed. It was two twin bed put together. The room was spacious though. Will only recommend this hotel just for quick stop-over (one […] night) while traveling through Delhi by train. Read more

We were escorted across the street to a place called "Home Sewwt Hotel". It was old and not nearly as clean as it could have been. It was extremely noisy, and far below the standars of website pictures and descriptions.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I arrived somewhat late at the hotel and they had apparently given my room away, even though it was prepaid. So they said they would put me in their sister hotel (Sweet Home) across the street, upgrading me to a "deluxe" room. It looked ok, but the reality was different. The towels were hard and crusty, like they'd been washed by hand. Every surface […] in the room was dirty, apparently with soot. The windows in the room didn't seal well, so smoke from garbage fires set by homeless people in the streets got into the room, making me cough and burning my eyes. This is a horrible location and I would never go anywhere near it. Read more

Stayed at Hotel Ajanta twice on this trip. The first leg was no problem. Good service and no issues. The second leg was a little different as it was during their Diwali period, so hotel was fully booked, so had to be transferred to the hotel at the back which is not as nice, however because wehad booked superior rooms, they actually offered us a refund […] which I was surprised. They did end up taking pretty good care of us. The only issue I would say is the time it does take to check it. It took over 45 mins the second time round as they were looking for a suitable room for us. So, overall satisfied. A good thing about the hotel is that it's walkable distance to New Delhi railway station. Another good thing is the free pickup (Rs 140) or drop off. Read more

We booked the presidential suite. We really enjoyed the balcony at night and the view from the top. The restraunt at the top was nice. In general the room was really large with two king beds. The hotel and interior furniture is a bit dated, but it was decent enough for the price. We had also paid extra for an air-port transfer, and we were abit annoyed […] at check out when we requested several times for the ride to the airport and they kept trying to get us to pay extra (which we had already paid for in our booking). Luckily, I had a printed receipt showing this and they final gave in and provided us a car and driver to the airport. Otherwise the staff at the hotel was very friendly. Additionally the location of the hotel is great in that it is near (walking distance) Old Dehli and Calagunte circle. Read more

the presidential suite was very nice, and loved the balcony at night. Only thing is that the hotel room service was not well at all.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My husband and I arrived late at night and were exhausted. Our airport-to-hotel transportation was late. Upon arrival at our hotel we were unsure as to the quality of the hotel and safety of the neighborhood. We were a little disappointed. But our concerns quickly lifted. We were unhappy in our assigned room and by morning requested a change, which […] was immediately granted. We adjusted our expectations and attitude: We were not in the U.S or europe- or anywhere in the world, but India- and went out to meet this one country and its people, and to discover and enjoy its uniqueness and how they do things. These were chief among our reasons for coming in the first place. We enjoyed our stay at the Ajanta Hotel in Delhi and our experiences in the country. We can't wait to go back. Read more

Desk staff were often not friendly and had to be asked multiple times for assistance. Rooms were fair. Disappointing.

Came to Delhi for a surgery. Had a good stay at Ajanta Hotel. Enjoyed the meals and lazed on the terrace recuperated, relaxed. Many Thanks

Hotel Ajanta took us from airport. It was good and comfortable. People were nice. However the room was not as clean as we have expected.

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the price this hotel is a great value. After months of traveling it was nice to have a clean room with wifi and a big TV with English language channels. During the day there was a bunch of construction noise, but I suspect this is temporary. Staff is helpful, but a little pushy. Food at the attached restaurant is good and reasonably priced.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel had good reviews in the internet and in guidebooks, but when we arrived there we were not impressed at all. The room we got was without windows (regardles these rooms are marketed on Expedia as with "city view"). Overall the description of the room do not give any impression of what you might get. But it might be just generic description as […] it is possible to get a better room (with window - not meaning "city view", but with the view on the backyards that are really dirty) at the same price - all that after a conversation with the reception.

As far as accommodations go, Hotel Ajanta is a decent mid-range facility with (usually) hot showers, (typically) functional air conditioning and new flat-screen TVs in many rooms. They have an internet cafe and in-room wi-fi options to allow you to plug back into the electronic world if you need to. It's in a noisy neighborhood, but if you bring your […] earplugs you can tune out the noise after you've enjoyed the street chorus for the evening. But service is where Hotel Ajanta really stands out. They have a great airport (or railway) pickup and drop-off service (pickup or drop-off - but not both - are included in your room rates) that simplifies the process of getting to the hotel. Their staff are extremely friendly and quick to help with any need. The restaurant is incredible and the waiters are eager to please. I've brought several friends to this hotel with me and will continue to seek opportunities to do so in the future. The warm reception we receive at Hotel Ajanta makes it my first pick for a hotel with easy access to the airport and railway hubs. Read more

Staying at Hotel Ajanta made our entry into India a breeze. Having someone to meet us at the airport made it very easy and accommodations were clean and great for a long 1st night's sleep in Delhi. I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to the city of Delhi.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was centrally located, but was no better (construction, dirty bathrooms, unidentified hotel employees knocking on our door at all hours) than the neighboring budget hotels. I wish I had saved my money. We chose this hotel because of the "included transfer" but on arrival was told that "included doesn't mean free." The price they tried to […] charge us was obscenely high, and when I declined, the hotel manager just shrugged and said "good luck getting a taxi at this time." Which I did, for half the price the hotel had tried to charge for the transfer. Our lovely taxi driver informed us that the Hotel Ajanta is known for scamming its guests on transfers. Also, the staff stood around watching us struggle with our bags upon departure and did not offer to help, although we had tipped well upon check in. There are much better, cheaper, friendlier options in the neighborhood. Do not choose this fleabag. Read more

My friends were here two years ago and liked Ajanta Hotel. Having stayed here while passing through Delhi, I agree with my friends. Nice room, homely atmosphere, free airport pickup- all positive….. Thanks………..

Stayed one night for transit to the other destination. I was not sure how to arrange my pick up at the airport, although my rate included free airport pick up. I asked Hotels.com about how to make pick up arrangement and was told telephone number and e-mail address. I sent an e-mail without any response. I made a telephone call from the airport while […] waiting for the flight to Delhi and got connected finally. I could make my pick up arrangement at the Delhi airport successfully. The room was clean and very spacious. The writing table was very useful with handy power connection. Breakfast was good containing toast, scramble egg, fruits, fruits juice and tea/coffee. Hotel could arrange a return transport to the station/airport with reasonable price. I will use this hotel again. Read more

Courteous staff

Comfortable stay at the hotel; nice room and friendly staff. They provided complimentary Wi-fi but that did not work. Restaurant was a little pricy. Location is great, very close to the New Delhi Railway station & Metro stations. But the neighborhood is crowded; lots of hotels around.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We arrived at the hotel and were greeted warmly and taken to our room, which was very nice with a large balcony. The breakfast at the hotel was nice and the location, although not in a particularly touristic area, was quiet. Our only complaint was that we tried to use the travel desk to book transport to the Himalayas and the gentleman on the desk informed […] us that the trains were fully booked (which they were) and then went about trying to charge us £255 for a driver to take us up there. He failed to mention that it was very simple to get a direct bus there for £12 each! Once we asked and found out this option was available to us and decided to book that he turned from being overly helpful to being grumpy and a little aggressive. I can only assume his large kick-back of money had just disappeared... Read more

The staff are very pleasant and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The breakfast buffet is very good. We found the tour desk staff was helpful, especially Mr. Rashid. We had Dru, our tour driver who made sure we were safe, and he is very polite, and helpful and we would highly recommend him. The tour itininerary was well designed. The front […] desk staff are also helpful. We found that the hotel is clean, central and good value for the star rating. Read more

It was pretty cheap so couldn't complain - The rooms are a good size and the beds are comfortable but the hot water ran down to a trickle.

Hotel doesn't qualify to be 4.5 stars, bathroom wasn't up to standarts, I took shower with flip flops on....certainly room didn't look like advertised on Expedia site, otherwise staff was friendly.

I booked 2 separate nights at Hotel Ajanta. They offer free airport pickup. I was picked up at International terminal one time and domestic terminal the other day. Both works fine. Hotel is very near to New Delhi Train station (NDLS) and is walkable. Hotel charged Rs800 for a cab ride there (bargain from Rs1500 to Rs800). It was worth it if you don't […] want the hassle at the entrance of the train station.Hotel inself is adequate and nice. They upgrade us to a deluxe room on the 2nd night, nice room. But even the cheapest class of room is gd enough for a night's stay. Read more

Good value for Delhi. The rooms vary: some are really excellent, some less so. Staff are friendly and attentive and most have worked there a long time (a good thing!) . Very convenient for (New Delhi) railway station and also Old Delhi. You will feel you are in the middle of a vibrant city (Arakashan Rd has the best nightime neon display n the whole […] of Delhi). The location is very different from the sterile isolation of many south Delhi hotels. There is sometimes noise for nearby temples - maybe worth requesting an internal room if this likely to be bothersome. I've stayed here numerous times over the last decade and I recommend it.

I stayed at a lovely room in Ajanta Hotel and enjoyed the meals at their restaurant. The staff and service were good and their tour office was well informed.

Positives: big, clean room, big LCD TV with english movie channel and BBC, great air conditioning; restaurant is reasonably priced with tastey variety of foods; staff helpful in organising transport and onward accommodation; close to Connaught Circle area. Negatives: neighbourhood is a bit of a shambles; view from window is ghetto; mattress is old foam […] style and not particularly comfortable. All-in-all we found it to be an oasis in the chaos of Delhi. Read more

After checking many reviews on net I selected this hotel and I am not at all disappointed with my decision. Before reaching Delhi I confirmed with the hotel about Airport pick up though I was little skeptical about it. When I came out of Airport, I did not find them and all my effort to contact the hotel was also in vain. As a last resort, I called […] Hotels.com customer support and they helped me identify the cab driver by contacting hotel. Finally we took the cab to reach hotel and the driver (Mr.Vijay) was very helpful and gave information about various attractions around Delhi. They even allowed me to stay till 2pm as my bus was at 4pm that evening. Read more

This is the 4th time for us. I will continue to be faithful to Ajanta. Compared to what you pay it is excellent. It is not a 4-star hotel, but you get more than what you pay. Food is very good. If wheather permits, don´t forget to try the top roof restaurant, far above the noise, close to the stars and moon. For a European, as probably is the case for […] any hotel below 4 star, beds are somewhat hard, but this is the Indian custom.Sheets and everything was spotless. Staff is very service minded. If you accept the complimentary pick-up service from airport and you are many and have lots of luggage, don´t forget to email so that they get a mini-bus. You can with confidence use their 4 or 8-hour tour of Delhi- Delhi has lots of treasures you shouldn´t miss! Red Fort, Humayuns tomb, and Mahatma Gandhi museum is very recommended. Read more

I stayed at the Ajanta and were well looked after by the staff and the general manager himself. Since a few rooms were vacant, got a room of my choice. Slept well and had a hearty buffet breakfast in their restaurant and all good, will be back. Thank you all.

Nice hotel, they are refurbishing the rooms on the upper floors for the moment, have an excellent roof top patio, indoor and outdoor. Good service level, food is good, nice place to stay and discover Delhi from. The New Delhi Central Station is just a few minutes walking.

This was my fourth visit to the hotel, and I had reached Delhi early in the morning. The Shift Manager initially said I would be charged extra for an early check-in but when I mentioned I was a loyal guest, he relented, and made available the room at no extra charge. Thank you I've had no complaint with these guys, and am quite happy with the Hotel […] and its cozy restaurant. All the rickshaw and auto guys in Delhi also seem to know about this place; you don't have to guide them much. Read more

Single room was quite small, but cleanliness and running hot water during winter made it ok. Included Continental-Indian breakfast was pretty nice, as was the attached restaurant.

The hotel is good to stay in and the food is also exceptionally good. But it is situated in the most dusty and polluted part of Delhi. The service is very good and there is free pickup from the airport. However drop-off to station and airport are chargeable. Good facility of free internet is provided on the top floor.

The reception desk people including the night Manager was not very helpful when they were asked about directions. They seemed very casual and not too interested in their responses. I booked the Presidential Suite which was very average and not very clean. The was constant noise in the hotel due to ongoing renovations. The restaurant manager and waiters […] were not too professional and the food was average. There are far too many male staff in the hotel that seem to be not doing much and more interested in watching guests that are coming into the hotel. Overall the atmosphere in the hotel is very poor and I would never stay here again or recommend anyone to stay here. Read more

Please take earplugs very noisy. Take inhaler if asthmatic. Noisy surrounds, dogs barking, horns beeping. Ask for a room back of hotel. Breakfast good. Look at the competition for trips down the road. Good Hotel for it's price. Centrally located close to railway not far from airport. Staff friendly and helpful. Wi Fi slow and drops out.

This is the third time we stay at Ajanta. i will gladly return. The hotel staff will do their absolute best to meet your expectations.
