A very good Hotel in Delhi
I was at Le Meridien Hotel in Delhi on business for 7 nights. I had arranged for an hotel car to pick me up at the airport. The car was there, and the driver was waiting with a sign with my name. Car was very clean and driver very polite. I would highly recommend one ask for an hotel car to be picked up at the aiport, worth all the money and will avoid a lot of worries. The hotel is well situated, near major shopping bazaar. The hotel is very clean, very good service and has 4 different restaurants. Room service is very good, fast and good food. I used the room service almost daily. Hotel provides guests with bottles of water in room daily. The rooms are spacious and all the furniture is modern. TV is the latest flat screen. Bathrooms has what I call "the super shower" with a lot of power. I also used the health club and the facility is very clean, with several attendents there to help you. Health club has shower, sauna and a enough equipments for one to work out. ...Read more

That's right, while you're enjoying your $250/night room, you can also enjoy the sound of Delhi's finest construction workers.
As a whole, the staff are rude, inconsiderate and even snide. I actually had to argue with the desk clerk over my bill - he insisted that I had taken something from the minibar when I had not. That's a first for me, in any class of hotel.
Finally, the gym. It is smaller than the average room, and contains three running machines, an exercise bike, and a weight set ... all for a hotel with 300+ rooms. At the end of the day, it's impossible to even fit in the gy...Read more
