Not me but my mom stated at the property. She was visiting Delhi for visa interview. She was pleasantly surprised by how good the hotel is contrary to some of the negative reviews online. It is conveniently located within 10 min auto ride. Hotel is very clean, well decorated and food was very good quality as well. Property also has an impressive garden. Staff was very attentive. Overall, it got a glowing review from her.

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room was in extremely poor condition and had a strong unpleasant smell. We had booked an “Executive Room,” but it was surprisingly tiny and absolutely not worth the amount we paid.

The bed was very uncomfortable, making it difficult to rest. To make matters worse, there was a party going on nearby that continued until 2 a.m., and the noise levels were unbearable. We were unable to sleep properly the entire night.

The breakfast was equally disappointing. I chose the South Indian option, and the sambar was overly sour and tasted bad. Even the tea was of very poor quality.

Lastly, when we requested a bottle of water to carry with us, we were told it was chargeable and asked to pay ₹177 for a bottle that normally costs around ₹60 outside. This felt unreasonable and unfair.

Overall, the stay was not worth the money, and I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

Right from a very officious check in experiences filled with misleading information and judging looks towards me and my husband for perhaps not being married. Over the 5 days we were here the sheets and towels were never changed. Getting toilet paper became a negotiation. The staff on the phone were extremely rude. The free breakfast included a raw egg mixed in with cooked eggs. Just genuinely a horrible experience end to end. Avoid at all costs.
If the location and the stately building were not a plus there are places at a 10th of the cost in pahadgunj that have better trained staff, better housekeeping, and cleaner rooms.

The first room that was assigned was a trip to hell, stinky old room. Clogged bathroom sink, broken tap. Were moved to a 'better' room the first night. There, when asked room service for warm water for an aching throat at 3.30am, we were taught how to use the kettle in the room which was dirty. The hand shower had kinks resulting into almost no water pressure. The thermostat needed Hotel engineering staff to be fixed. Water was leaking from under the toilet bowl.

The hotel is grand but the management seems to have ignored it's upkeep and maintenance. Most importantly, the general service-oriented attitude in their staff was grossly missing.

If I could have, I would have moved out of the hotel after the first night itself but advance payment for the entire stay was already made and I knew they won't refund a penny despite my immense dissatisfaction.

This property has seen better days - upon first walking in you can feel its grandeur but that’s where the positive impressions stop.

The rooms were overly complicated and because so were tired and in a severe state of disrepair, the shower was disgusting

The desk was rude incapable of the simple task of arranging a taxi, and an arrogance towards the customer that everything was too difficult

There were exceptions to this with pockets of good service but generally staff were not responsive enough

Everything just way too formal for today’s market. A big refresh of its values I am sure would return this hotel to its proud history

The hotel is in a very good location and it is extremely safe. The breakfast was excellent--freshly made items, lots of variety and good service. But for a 5-star hotel, the wifi was incredibly bad. The connection was unstable during my entire stay. The wi-fi would cut out literally every few minutes. Despite multiple complaints, it did not get better. The other issue was noise. The hotel staff would often gather in the hallways and chat loudly or shout at each other across the hallway, even late in the night.

Terrible, loud, sleepless nights

We stayed for 5 nights at the ashok in room 423 the executive suite. It was a sleepless experience.
The bedroom window did not close and was directly above the banquet hall and outdoor dancing. The lounge room balcony door did not close properly and was directly above a night club. For 5 nights we endured very loud indian music that did not stop until approx 2 am. On the fifth night I rang reception at 11.45pm to ask when it will stop. Was informed at 1.00am. Waited until 1.47am and rang again nothing changed despite promises. Went down to reception at 3.15am to complain. Music was turned down. I rang reception 5 times that night. They promised to stop the music but did not.
This hotel is aware that all rooms above the banquet hall will endure noise all night from their functions and do nothing about it.
It is not a hotel that ensures that guests who pay alot of money to stay, can rest and sleep, instead it puts ahead profits in its entertaining. Only after complaits to the manger were made that were we changed to the the \"quiet\" area. Management knows and does nothing. Horrible experience in a run down hotel. The bathroom had a window into the bedroom and the lights in the bathroom coud not be turned off except by the pulling out the key at the door. Definitely not 5*
Worse still our inital complaints had not been escalated and the day shift staff apparently knew nothing.

The reception staff was so inefficient and had to change my room two times. They gave me key but there was people in the room. Then gave me another room that had broken ceiling walls and twin beds when I booked a double bed. Only after I sought the manager and spoke to him that I was able to get a good room. The whole process took more than an hour to check in after arriving to the hotel after a long trip from US. There was only two receptionist counter open to check in when there was more than 7 staff standing at the counter. When I checked out, the staff said they lost the receipt of my payment of ₹26000 and asking me to give them a copy. I had thrown it in the garbage in the room and I had to go to the room to find it. This delayed my check out process by 30minutes further causing my taxi to wait for another 30minutes and rushing to the airport. This was ridiculous. At night there was loud music playing until 1am for both the nights I stayed and it greatly disrupted my sleep and rest.

Needs improvement but ok

The property seems nice and grand, however it's is not what is used to be I was told. Probably 3-4star. Some rooms are very old and not kept up properly. Some rooms are better. The bathrooms are not kept up too well in the older rooms. And the newer ones are ok. The housekeeping staff and floor managers are nice , but some of the front desk staff are not so helpful. I think I was given a bad room at first and then the lobby manager was nice enough to upgrade me and the same front desk guy tried to deny me the upgrade. Also they made the mistake of not taking a deposit for extras and I had issues with room service and having to pay immediately on delivery with cash or online. If I can pay that amount of money for the room why would I ditch on paying a simple food bill. Fault of the front desk staff which led to a uneasy situation with friends.
