Hoteller nær Dilli Haat-markedet

"I recently spent a few nights at this historic, government‑run hotel, which has been welcoming guests for about 70 years. The building’s age is evident everywhere – a generally run‑down appearance that suggests the property isn’t receiving the upkeep it deserves. Nonetheless, the rooms themselves were clean and functional, and the staff were warm and courteous throughout my stay. A recurring concern was the pressure to tip (housekeeping, doorman etc). It can make guests feel “forced” rather than freely choosing to tip. A gentle reminder to the team that tipping should remain entirely optional would improve the atmosphere, especially for travelers unfamiliar with local customs, and who do not carry cash in this digital age. There were a few practical hiccups that affected my experience. While I was unable to work in my room due to ongoing renovation work, the staff declined my request to use the business centre free of charge—even though it was empty and quiet. Small gestures like allowing access to such facilities can make a big difference for guests who need to stay productive. Additionally, the breakfast offering was below expectations, falling short of typical hotel standards. "
