A shock: Is A SHOCKer of a hotel!
Poor, noisy, dirty (VERY dirty) in same class as a back packers! If not worse!
NEVER EVER AGAIN!
My last stay resulted in me changing rooms 4 times in two days, and the only reason I did not continue to complain is the last room was no better than the first, and the rate of improvement was NIL. Among others, my list of complaints were:
All Rooms VERY VERY VERY Dirty
Linen Dirty and torn
Telephone did not work in two of the rooms
Entrance door keys intermittent
TV did not work in 3 of the room
No key hole, to see who is knocking (a vital security device for the international traveler - especially a lady traveler)
All Rooms too Noisy. I could Not sleep any of the nights or days, as the curtains were too thin, and some crazy guy uses a load speaker to call taxi's????
No Safe provided in any of the rooms
No Iron and Ironing board provided in any of the rooms
Tea Cups in all the rooms were very very badly stained and old and FILTHY.
Kettle did not work...Read more

Bad breakfast - poor standard
Although the area around the hotel is great, the hotel is not. It can definitely not compete with Marriot, Hyatt, Radisson... The breakfast was really far from international standard.

Good but abandoned
Weel, When I first saw the hotel, I tought it was a really good one: big, lots of employers, nive people, then I realized I few important details. When I arrived in my room (big one) the bathroom was very dirty, with someone else's pis and hair. The clothes of the employers at the restaurant were very dirty also. These are a few details, but important ones you pay USD$150,00 + taxes for a room!!!

Fantastic Hotel with a few minors
I heard a great deal of bad reviews before we left. The Ashok is a government owned hotel and hence does not have the massive private investment of the other in the diplomatic enclave. I was greeted in a friendly manner when I arrived (4am, can't say I'm to impressed with Delhi Airport), staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I am on the 3rd floor in a really nice room, I have two beds to myself, my room is cleaned and stocked daily. Everywhere I go I am saluted or bowed to, the decor is good, the place is clean. A few things to watch for: A few of the plug sockets have issues but for RS70 you can get a pretty good plug adaptor, the food in the 'Coffee Shop' is good enough, nothing special and the Paprika Chicken is awful, don't try the chinese restaurant, we ordered 3 plates of food and some rice and each dish got steadily worse, the first was what looks like a plate of ears (Chicken), the second looked like a pile of rotting cat poo (Beef) and the third looked like a col...Read more
