Hotel Grand Godwin

Continue to have success with this hotel. Is always clean, a good value and staff is responsive to most issues. My two concerns this trip centered around not being given the correct tier room that I reserved and put into one that smelled extremely foul do to smoke. Not just a little smoke, a lot of cigarette smoke! Be prepared with room details before […] you go in the event this oversight occurs here for you as well. Read more

For the price this is an excellent value. The breakfast could be improved in taste and the care of the room - insuring the room had fresh towels and soap could aka be improved. But charm and overall quality for this cost it is well worth it.

I didn't pay much for my stay, so I would say I got what I should have expected. The room was very basic and shabby. This didn't concern me much. What surprised me was the location. The hotel is located centrally as stated in the description; however, the area is crowded, dirty, and smelly. You are 5 minutes away from New Delhi Station, but those 5 […] minutes are horribly unpleasant. I wasn't happy with the staff as well. Room service people were scarily intense (part of being single female traveler in India, I guess). The manager was not accommodating when I asked about trips outside of Delhi. He was not helpful and honest about my traveling options. I ended up paying for the 3-days trip to Jaipur, and I would not recommend it to anyone. I've payed too much for a pushy driver and an arrogant guide. Read more

In general the people are nice and like to help. The food is tasty. I had small problem with hot water in the first day, but they solve it.

Top ratings in every category for a reason. They seem to want my business. Being remembered by name after having only stayed on two previous occasions is fantastic. The rooms are basic and comfortable but just a step above the rest. Very quiet too. Staff is very willing and able. Nice place to call home away from home.

In the end, they were very helpful and professional. The rooms are definitely at a higher standard than other hotels in the area, although the Godwin is now more expensive as a result. It's probably worth it. The staff were obliging with rearranging one of our bookings and we twice received free room upgrades, which was unexpected and nice. Overall, […] this place is a safe bet if you want the centrality of Paharganj and the associated proximity to New Delhi station. Read more

This was our second stay at the Grand Godwin and we will stay there again. We like the location as it is a short auto-rickshaw ride from the New Delhi Railway Station and Connaught Place. Paharganj, where the hotel is situated, is a bustling crowded market area with a huge choice of mid-level and cheap restaurants aimed at local as well as foreign tourists. […] Despite appearances, it is as safe as anywhere in Delhi. The complimentary breakfast on the rooftop restaurant is adequate. We had an early morning flight and really appreciated the 5 AM breakfast that they served in our room at no extra cost. The staff is unobtrusive but politely available when you need them. The reception team is very helpful. Read more

Quite simply, Stay here! You won't be disappointed in any regard unless you have just stumbled upon this area of New Delhi and wasn't expecting the noise and excitement of the neighborhood. Even so, some of the rooms are quieter than others (I stayed in 2). The furnishing are very comfortable, everything is well maintained and all of the staff seemed […] interested in my well-being. Room service was good, guest laundry services great - this is one hotel that I will visit again. WIFI throughout the hotel is a plus. Good travel services too. Read more

We ordered a deluxe room with a taxi to pick us up from the airport. There was a confusion and the driver picked someone else up, but there was a representative from the hotel there to sort things up. When we got to the hotel the reception was very nice, and we got an upgrade for our room. The room vas very nice and clean, the shower was amazing with […] water comming from 6 directions. The balcony upstairs is a very nice place to sit in the evening. Whenever we needed something the recption was very pleasant. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the main bazaar, though it isn't a very pleasant walk Read more

Didn't enjoy our room at all. The hotel seems nice enough from the outside (though on a despicable street) and has a door man but we found out he was usually asleep or late to jump from his post to actually perform his job. The room was ok in size though reeked of garbage. The shower only had hot water on occasions and the staff was less than helpful, […] especially in the restaurant. The food was often served on dirty plates and contained a usual hair. The staff was less than excited to be there, daydreaming or watching TV, but hung around towards payment time in hopes of a tip. We used the "tour desk" service to take a ride to the Taj when and were steeply lied to about the cost to take the train on our own. Upon checking out the front desk man claimed we owed unpaid money on their internet --information that is kept in hand written books. We informed him that we paid all of our internet charges up front he didn't believe us and became upset when I asked for the manager, vaguely pointing to a man across the lobby. I had to then ask the front desk to actually summon the manager who came over, who was upset to take the charge off the bill (approx. $2 USD). After claiming to take off the charge he handed us a receipt which still showed the charge. We went round and round again and finally demanded a copy with the charges stating that we didn't owe any $. Stating it nicely--it was a horrible experience and I can't imagine why The Lonely Planet would endorse such a miserable place. Read more

i was booked 13to 16 march 2013 via your office, due to change in travel plan wanted to stay one more night before i go to see Taj Mahal but hotel insisted to charge rack rate hence changed hotel with a new one near by with more helpful staff. stayed additional 4 days with them finally. Trend is to make more money all the time from Guests..dim light […] in toilet , no hooks to hang clothes in shower, no mirror in room , too much noise of horns, dogs barking, not happy with staff, who made me to leave and re- pack and move to another hotel.

Despite hotel staffs magnificent hospitality and professional behavior I could not ignore one of the very sensitive issues regarding hygiene. In our 3 days stay at this hotel the room service person came to clean the room thoroughly but while cleaning all general rubbish bins and the floor he made our bed with clean new linen and pillow covers with […] his same bare hands without even at least rinsing them. More horrifying is this – with his dame bare hands he cleaned the bathroom and toilet floors and the toilet itself while he provided fresh clean face washer and bath towels without washing his hands. He might not know it from his educational background but it is not his fault at all; it is the hotel’s responsibility to facilitate proper training to do the bed and all top jobs – like table top, dressing table, bedside table top and obviously bed making first with washed clean hands then doing all dirty jobs, then he must wash his hands thoroughly with soap and warm water or use a disposable gloves before providing towels.

Nice compact hotel - reminds me of a lot of the European hotels in terms of size and the soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Bathroom lighting is poor. Concierge is a rip off - so be warned.

This was a good value for money. Good place to stay while travelling to India for other than business purposes. Room was clean and spacious, service was ok.

This is a good hotel well located in Paharganj near New Delhi train station. Rooms are clean and service is fine. Beds are very comfortable. Rooms on the street can be noisy and rooms immediately under the restaurant can also be noisy as staff move furniture around.

Great location - both its proximity to the area bazar and its easy access to the metro, trains and the airport express, which is fast, cheaper and cleaner than a taxi.

Very poor.! had booked a delux room 1st room offered didn't have wifi. It also didn't match the description on your website - there was no fridge in the room. Was moved to a "super" delux room with a fridge - immediate reaction was a fouls smell in the room , porters told me to open the window and it would be ok! the bathroom floor was constantly wet […] from a leaking tap. I as too tired to argue and having the fan on eased the smell so just went to sleep. Was woken in the morning at 8am with an army of builders banging away knocking down walls - was quite shocked as there had been no warning of this - this went on all day - I finally enquired at 6.30pm and was told "it won't be for much longer now" ! Banging finally stopped at 7.15pm and then the clearing up went on all evening with a trail of builders carting the rubble through the corridors. I understand that refurbishments have to be done but am appaled that there was no warning or explanation for this disruption. On the whole the staff were friendly with fixed smiles but not much help.

I had a reasonably pleasant stay at Hotel Grand Godwin. The staff were attentive and efficient and the level of service was very good.

I booked a 'deluxe room' which included a free airport pickup. After waiting for half an hour at the specified gate at the airport we decided to get our own taxi. On arriving at the hotel we were told that the driver had been waiting for us at the airport. I have visited India on at least 15 separate occasions and so I wasn't surprised to hear my travelling […] companion say that she overhead the very same conversation the next day between hotel staff and two French women who also had to make their own way to the hotel. Draw your own conclusions. For people unfamiliar with Delhi it is quite nice to think that they will be picked up for free from the airport. It is an incentive to book a stay at the hotel. The 'deluxe' room didn't even have a window. The hotel management would have been quite happy to leave us in there but we complained. It took at least four hours to find us a room with a window. My advice is for people to get a pre-paid taxi from the Police taxi booth. Go to Paharganj and have a look around for half an hour for accommodation of the same or better quality for half the price.

This place is in the Paharganj locality with lots of other hotels in the neighbourhood. Naturally there is a good deal of healthy competition among these hotels.

The hotel Grand Godwin is located in the busy area Ram Nagar close to the New Delhi trainstation and the grand bazar. The room was spacious with all the comfort, modern furniture and clean. Two rooms are right beside the reception. The disadvantage was to have no daylight but therefor double protection from the noise on the street.

Having stayed in a couple of 3star hotels in India and given the price of 4star hotels in the location I was expecting a dungeon 2.5 star hotel at that price but I was pleasantly surprised. There are hundreds of hotels in this location and they are all competing for business so trying to outdo each other. For what you pay you get a great room with swipe […] card, coffee maker, flat screen TV and decent bed. There was no window in my room which is a setback. Can be noisy at times. Even had complimentary breakfast which wasn't as impressive as 4 or 5 stars but great for what you pay. Nicer touches such as drinks on arrival, complimentary baggage storage and the vicinity to New Delhi train station makes it a winner. I didn't try other hotels in this area but I was happy with this one. My shower wasn't working and it took several requests to finally get it fixed, otherwise nothing negative. I was upgraded to super deluxe room during both my stays which was great! Read more

The pre check in communication was excellent and the hotel arranged a complemetary airport pick up. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the travel desk who made us some good value for money offers for tours which sadly we could not take up due to existing commitments. The location looks daunting although we discovered that the street outside […] is quite lively and safe. On the down side the hotel was down at heel and dirty, especially the bathroom which also had loose tap fittings which meant they could not be turned off. The restaurant is appalling. Dirty and grubby with miserable service. the television blasted out Indian programmes 24/7 which was obviously for the benefit of the staff. However, the sister hotel next door was just the opposite, so it was handy to pop in there for a night cap. There is a good wifi connection here which is unusual for India. For first time travellers I would suggest that this is not the place for you - its hard arriving in India and the location and surliness does not help. However for the budget traveller it is just about vfm for a one night stay. Read more

1) they only do airport pickup! (it says shuttle, but is only pickup) so if you are going home, don't bother taking the package with 'shuttle' 2) we checked in early (8 am) after our train arrived. During check in they did not mention it anything about paying more for this 'service'. But while checking out the next day at noon (final check out time), […] they showed us that if checked in before 12, the check out time should be max 24 hours after that.... And that we would have the pay half a days price. We stood on our stripes and said that they should have told us during check in. So luckily they didn't charged us. But still, keep it in mind! (and offcourse it does not work for the other way around if you checked in after noon... so really a 'policy' in their advantage). 3)The room and bathroom and hotel are very nice and clean! Really a good place to stay, but keep number 1 en 2 in mind and everything will be fine. Read more

部屋も建物も金額から考えたらキレイだと思います。スタッフの対応も親切で助かりました。朝食付にしたのですが、料理は美味しいと感動するレベルではありません。普通に食べられるといった感じです。 一点、いくつか同じような評価がありましたが、空港への迎えに来ていただけませんでした。 事前に自分の便の便名や着く時間など知らせて何度かやり取りをしていたのですが、最後の方のやり取りが出発ギリギリになってしまったためか、うまく伝わっていませんでした。 結局、自分でタクシーを見つけていったので、そこだけ対応していただけたらと思いました。
