Comfortable and value for money
We used this hotel at least 3 times in last 4-5 years. This was a convenient location for our personal needs. The locality is residential. The road is busy during the day and noisy. Rooms on the rear side face a garden, very quiet. The staff were helpful and service is good. food is good too. Beds are comfortable and rooms that we stayed are spacious. Overall, it is value for money. It is neither too expensive nor overpriced. The closest landmark is Gurudwara in Taimur nagar.

2 night stay in a decent hotel
We did a quick stopover of 2 nights in Delhi and I wanted to stay in a area that would be calmer rather than an area more central. I learned that there are no calm areas. The hotel was a good hotel. Service was good. Cleanliness could have been better the showers were a bit mouldy, and there was the constant smell of smoke in the corridors which gave me a headache. The area outside is nothing special but it is authentic Delhi if anything. Its busy and smells. I would nonetheless recommend staying at this hotel. Good value for money and friendly staff. Uber cabs arrive quickly to take you to other areas of delhi and as it is further south rather then very central, easier to get to Agra.

About restaurant service
Restaurant service is pathetic. No one takes the order properly and they take lot of time to make the service. The waiters attitude is very bad. Even if we ask them to get something, they do not respond properly. They have to improve a lot in the house keeping as well. The restaurant stinks. The smell causes nausea. When we were checking out, no one came to help us to transfer the luggage to lobby. Overall lot of improvements are required.

Very miserly hotel
i booked the hotel for my guest 4 people, paid deposit 22,264Rs on behalf of guest after booking. Guests has paid by theirselves when check out. After that I required refund the deposit, but hotel didn't refund. I asked the hotel to refund again and again, they kept deposit for a month. I ask office staff to go negotiation, after that the hotel refund the deposit. But, they didn't refund all amount, 21,524Rs only, offset transaction fee 740Rs. Generally, hotel should bear such charge. Very bad behavior, no more book such a poor service hotel!

Overpriced and poorly located hotel
As far as budget hotels go, it was adequate. However the prices charged are not budget prices. Location is not good. The shower head was leaking in several places however there was sufficient hot water. Traffic is overwhelming at peak times and it can be hard to find an auto-rickshaw. The service was good and the breakfast was okay. Wifi was supposed to last for 5 days per code but the validity seems to be for only 2 days. The most frustrating part however was the countless number of mosquitoes.
