location is the biggest favorable point for the property. surrounding shopping area and Lodhi garden are two main attraction. Hotel can do better with breakfast options and the sitting area- doesn't give the feel of a Buffet spread as adequate. The pool has been under renovation for a long. The gym is very very rudimentary and too small too. they can sure do better by improving buffet breakfast, Gym and pool. They can do better with complimentary toiletries which are not provided in full till you ask.

This hotel is quite nice and a bastion of calm from the hubbub of the city. Great breakfast. Areas for improvement: interiors need an upgrade. Peeling paint. Soft beds. Old carpet. Also the pool was inoperable.

On the whole, this is a lovely hotel with an amazing history. I was upgraded to a top floor room which was very nice and unexpected. However, I have only given the hotel 4 stars because I felt certain areas were lacking especially as I had spent the previous week at a 5 star resort hotel within the same hotel group. Bathroom: the towels were clean but well used and thin. The shower curtain could do with replacing. An access panel cut into the marble bath surround had been filled with pink plaster. Bedroom: the bed was very comfortable. There were bedroom slippers but no robes. The water was supplied in plastic bottles, not particularly environmentally friendly. The art deco sunburst design on the dresser was very pretty but the dresser itself could have benefitted from a sanding and revarnish, the draw runners were stiff too. I opted to have breakfast at the hotel, this was very nice. What really disappointed me was the lack of swimming pool. The Hotels.com entry lists a pool as one of the amenities yet the hotel does not have a working pool. There is a sign at the entrance to the inner courtyard stating that the pool is being refurbished. There is an opportunity to take a transfer to the local Taj hotel and use their pool.

Starting from Airport pickup - despite multiple phone calls to hotel ahead of arrival, the driver arrived 3 hours early. We told him to come at 11:30 am IST as we were waiting for our parent's flight to arrive. Receptionist didnt convey this to the driver and he was waiting at IGI from 8:30 am.We Booked 2 Allure Suites based on the pictures on the website. When we reached hotel, the suites were nowhere near the pictures. They were dark and damp. They dont face on the front side of the building. They are built inward facing which makes them dark. When I booked , I mentioned that I want a room which is well lit with natural light . The hotel receptionist Roshmita offered us double room instead of suite which was on first floor and third floor and faced to the front. When we said yes to be downgraded , she said 3rd floor room is not available. Then we were shown 3 rooms but none of them was well lit and upto the mark. We had to finally settle for a side facing room on 3rd floor . Next was the bed , it was small for three people and when we asked for extra single bed, she said it will cost us extra. It was a horrible experience with multiple viewings and downgrading from suite to a room which too didnt give us a experience we were expecting. Hotel staff needs to improve on respecting their words when they offer something.Also they should respect the drivers who make so much effort to do airport transfers.Breakfast in the morning was good . I wished I booked Lalit at same cost

The hotel is beautiful outside and has a great potential to be a great hotel, but the interior needs clearly a renovation. Breakfast food is good enough and waitress are kind, but the patio and breakfast room it does not cover the expectations for the hotel price. Pool was under renovation and it does not mentioned.

The location and services are excellent. It is an older property and has a colonial past feel which is a nice contrast to the modern day hotels construction and look/feel. My key disappointment with this property is the bad quality of bed - if you cannot get a good sleep everything else matters less. And this issue is quick, easy and relatively inexpensive to fix (from overall operating costs of the hotel). Please do upgrade the beds to match closely with most of the other Taj properties and you will see many more 5 star ratings !!!

You get what you paid for, however the 5 stars rating is not accurate. Staff is friendly and helpful, the location is great, with some shops and restaurants just a couple of minutes walking. The rooms/facilities are outdated, and shows the long time use they have been through. If you are looking for a safe, clean and good value place to stay, this is a good option. If you are looking for a 5 stars experience……you will be disappointed.

The valet staff are kind, but the front desk staff are a bit indifferent. If you expect a Japanese five-star hotel, you may find it quite different. The bathroom is clean, but the bath towels are somewhat old. The area is safe, with no beggars around. It is close to Khan Market and the station, which is on the Purple Line, allowing direct access to Humayun’s Tomb and Red Fort without transfers, making it very convenient.

Good stay overall. Rooms were clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean but really outdated. There was a small water leak-like a drip maybe from a condensation unit. They offered to repair but we wanted to rest so we told them we were ok until we left and it was just for their knowledge. But maintenance staff was very responsive. We stayed there for two days, the day we checked in they were 4 people outside the entrance, they helped get the luggage from the car which was nice, only to scan through their X-ray machine like many hotels in India do. The disappointment part is that after checking the luggage they just look at you. There is no communication to say, please go inside and someone will help you at the front. So once they check the luggage they just ignore you, they do not open the door or point the way to the front desk neither help you with the luggage. When we approached the check-in desk, the lady had issues with their system and it took her 15-20 minutes to check us in. The day we checked out we had schedule private transport to go from New Delhi to Agra. We scheduled it at 11:30AM so at 11:15 I went down to do my check out. The person who checked us out started asking for payment. I explained and showed the receipts from Expedia that we had already paid. She didn’t know how to check in her end. She asked to borrow my phone to show someone. My Uber showed up and it took them until 11:35 to figure things out. They need help in that area.

Also within walking distance (or short taxi/Tuk Tuk ride) is Lodi Gardens which has several historic buildings. The staff at the Ambassador are excellent as are the drivers of the Hotel Car service. The rooms and beds were also excellent. Would stay there again.

I've stayed at the Ambassador many times. It has declined significantly. We waited nearly 2 hours to get a room. The bed was hard. Towels were old and threadbare. One day, there was toothpaste provided in the bathroom, the next day, a toothbrush. The restaurant charged exorbitantly (INR 1999 for a serving of dhal) for mediocre food.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel so the last 24 hours were a big disappointment. Firstly I went to dine in the Chinese restaurant after being invited by staff. The food was terrible (so different to the great breakfasts) and it was very expensive. The next day I checked out early and it was only when I was in the taxi I realised I had been double charged for one room service delivery and overcharged for another. Yes, I should have looked closer at the bill at the time. Still , very it's left a bitter taste. Keep a copy of your in-room dining receipts and go through the bill line by line.
