We stayed in this lovely old Colonial hotel for one night in December. We arrived late afternoon and left very early the next morning so we stayed here for only about 12 hours in total. The rooms are massive with very high ceilings, but are very sparsely furnished which makes it feel a bit empty and not very cosy. The bathroom has a shower and bath combined. Unfortunately, as was the case with most of the hotels we stayed at in India, getting the water temperature correct was very difficult! The cold water didn't work at all in our bathroom so to flush the toilet we had to use the bucket from the rubbish bin and fill it up from the bath tap and put in the top of the toilet and then flush. The hot water worked, but it wasn't piping hot. Since we only stayed here for one night, we didn't bother complaining about the water issues.
The restaurant at the hotel had amazing food - it was actually the best Indian food we had in our entire India trip! It was very expensive though. The one thing that they could work on though is the atmosphere in the restaurant and bar - it was very quiet and they had really bright fluorescent lighting. We felt the need to whisper.
The grounds of the hotel are very nice, and are a welcome treat after being in the hecticness of Delhi. The hotel doesn't seem to be very close to anything like restaurants, bars, etc.
Even though it was a really nice hotel, for the price we paid, I wouldn't stay here again.
