I can't find a better hotel than the Taj in Lutyen's Delhi. Superb location, most efficient service with a broad smile, top class eateries (newly opened Japanese restaurant must be the best in the country), well appointed rooms with spectacular views and to top them all the best club lounge in town with most efficient staff always at your service. I stayed at Taj club floor where you have 24 hours butler service. I found all the butlers to be very alert and super efficient in every way. Three cheers to the Taj, Delhi!

I'm writing this out from my club room at the Taj -- my first stay here. The club rooms are very comfortable, although I wish the bathrooms were bigger. But the public spaces are quite tasteful and Old World (it's a 30-year-old hotel after all), with a very grand dame air as befitting one of the top 2 hotels in Delhi for VIPs. No complaints so far, and even the spa, which is the oldest of all the Taj hotels in the Delhi, is still well-maintained and well-appointed. However, what we have enjoyed so far -- so much so that we have booked our stay here on our way out of India and canceled a previous booking at another hotel -- is the unparalleled service. Everyone is friendly, professional, helpful and great to talk to -- and many remember your name or details about you. It's like a home away from home, which can be quite important to a visitor in a very foreign place like Delhi. I cannot think of any staff member I was not impressed with. This alone made our stay very memorable. And not at any time were we made to feel that anyone expected a tip from us in return!

We really enjoyed our 2 stays at the hotel. Pickup at the airport went well each time. It does pay to call them first to double-check though. Our first room was a small club room and not really big enough for 2 weary travellers with lots of luggage. We did appreciate the personalised check-in (with cold drinks) which is held in the room and the way we were whisked there. The club lounge made up for the small room. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and nibbles with first-rate service. There is also a PC with internet access in a seperate small private office. On our second stay the room was much larger and comfortable - still a club room so I'm not sure why. Staff at the hotel were excellant and soon sorted out any little quibbles. We had 2 great meals in the ground floor restaurant and one out by the pool. Price-wise the restaurant meals were very reasonable and good quality. The pool menu is over-priced though we really enjoyed the birds swooping down to try and steal a snack. Another very nice feature of the hotel is the spa. It's free for hotel guests and has very good staff, steam room and all the usual things. Can't recommend it more highly. In all, I'm really glad we chose this hotel. Stayed in lots of 5* through-out the world and this was up with some of our more extravagent ones.

We stayed twice in this hotel on our arrival and departure from India, total 3 nights. It is in a high class and quiter residential area of the new city and excellently placed for easy travel to all the main sites. What impressed us was the really welcoming and efficient staff where good service is the standard. The rooms were excellently appointed and comfortable with great views over the city. The restaurants were very efficient and the cioffee shop lounge one of the best. We could not fault it and recommend it when passing through this city.

We stayed at the hotel for one night before joining a tour and the service was faultless. We booked online in advance and were contacted before we arrived to find out if we had any special requests. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the restaurant and bar were excellent. The bar is quite loud but a lot of fun! We were so impressed we booked back in for 2 nights after our tour and again the level of service lived up to our first stay. The pool is also wonderful and much nicer than the oberoi or the imperial. We ate at both these hotels as well but the service did not compare to the Taj. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed.
