Karon Hotel - Lajpat Nagar - New Delhi

This is a nice hotel by Indian standards, but on a global comparison this hotel stinks. Remember that this is Delhi, an enormously filthy city in a wildly overcrowded country. What passes for normal on the streets here would be considered barbaric and crude by most western standards, and what happens inside hotels isn't much different. Don't be fooled […] by the photoshopped images of the exterior - pollution browns the air, there are multi-storey buildings on either side, and a car dealership occupies the ground floor. There is an elevator, but to reach it, you must first ascend 5-6 steps. The materials used in rooms are nice, but the fit and finish leaves much to be desired. Road noise is constant, and varies from mildly intrusive to completely obnoxious depending on the time of day. Wireless is present, but with weak signal. Toiletries are recycled and toilet paper is scarce. Thankfully linens are clean and without signs of bedbugs or other infestation. Water pressure is adequate, but hot water is very limited. Drinking water is provided. Prepare for a baffling array of light switches. The staff speaks and understands English in varying degrees, from not-at-all to sufficient-for-basic-interaction. Breakfast was freshly prepared. That said, please refer to my initial comment - this is a nice hotel by Indian standards. If you come with Western expectations, you will be disappointed by all but five star properties, and there you will be shocked by the astronomical prices. Read more
