The wi fi can be a bit spotty, but when I complained about it, it was taken care of.
The taxi driver had trouble finding the place, but apparently this is VERY common in New Delhi, according to the reviews I had read, so I didn't mind, just push the driver until he stops in front of the place. The rooms had a safe and an additional sliding lock from inside, which I read is recommend – in another hotel in Delhi, with electronic keys, someone simply opened the door when I was resting in the afternoon. Again, not the first to say this, most probably not the last.
The staff was very friendly, but IMH who cares, if the rest is bad. Breakfast was just ok, one type of fruit, one type of juice, and 4 types of Indian food. It was served in the room in 2 days of my stay, perhaps because of low occupancy.
The place is walking distance from metro station, and there rickshaws less than 50 meters from the hotel, so it's very easy to go around.
I booked through hotels.com, at the end I think it was a bit expensive, but it was a safe choice for the first nights in Delhi. Like other reviewers said, unless you're an experienced back packer with very low requirements for comfort and cleanliness, don't try to go cheap in India, you will be quickly disappointed: D Another reviewer said "standards equals to 5 star hotel", that's a quite an exaggeration, but I can recommend the hotel based on comfort, cleanliness and safety; these are the major issues I value.
The hotel - rather the service apartment is in the business district, very well done and very good decor. I really liked it. The staff was helpful, though not professional, tending to be loud and immersed in themselves. But some were good.
The room had a refrigerator, a micro and stuff, so I could get my food from outside and heat it and eat it which was very convenient. The bathroom was good, though the toiletries need hell of a improvement - very low quality and sub standard stuff.
The bed was nice, though on the first day, mine was laden with stands of long hair, guess they had not changed the linen to save costs, which is a regular feature of service apartments, especially in New Delhi. However when I made this mention the management quickly changed all of it and readied the room.
The entrance is a tad risky as they an automatic sliding gate, that is controlled by a gate keeper, but in my case for all the 4 days I stayed there, he was reading the news paper or chatting or looking the other way resulting in banging the door against me or not opening it all.
The laundry too came with shirts hanging on rusty hangers. I made this mention, and the staff was prompt enough to get the laundry redone and were very apologetic.
I guess the place is new and the staff needs training. Most behave as if they are house staff and in a residential bungalow.
The breakfast was not very good, very basic, usually cold and if 5 people came there was no place to sit. Also the used plates etc were piled right outside the entrance of the dining room which is in the basement. With whatever the breakfast available for 3 days I had a great and very helpful attendant and on one day, a sleepy fellow, who was busy watching cricket on TV and seemed least bothered about the empty buffet.
Nevertheless, great place, very niche and private, will to stay there again and again. Though I sincerely hope that the management puts trained and qualified staff or at least coaches them for professional behavior.
Especially annoying was how much they over charged for a taxi to the airport. In fact twice as much as I was asked to pay 2 weeks later through another hotel.

Its second time I stayed with Apartment 52 and I really enjoyed my stay. I stayed for 6 nites there. The hotel is 10/10 for its cleanliness and security also staff is very helpful, rooms are very comfortable and bigger in size, food was yummy and the best part is it's location. I found it The Best in its category. Hope to visit Apartment 52 sooon!!!!!!!!!
The service requires serious focus. For example, we wanted to have a bed made for our daughter (charged in the room) and could no tget this done after an hour's effort at night. At some point, the sole service boy brought some wet blanket covers to lay the bed!
It may be good for long term business stay .. but will not recommend for short leisure stay.
not a bad place besides this noise but it becomes like chinese water torture after 2 days
also went for breakfast the 1st day here and it was rubbish had to share a small space with a guy having a loud skype conversation in front of me very annoying but hey thats india for you no understanding of personal space!!!!! enjoy
Nicely decorated rooms. Security is excellant , breakfast excellant, STAFF very helpful especially the Manager. Mr. Baljit singh is helpful ,co-operative and extremely caring .
IMPROVEMENT DESIRABLE
kITCHEN TIMINGS to extend beyond 9.30 pm to atleast 11 pm
The Menu card offers very few dishes , the hotel needs to subtantially increase variety and number of dishes though whatever is available here is prepared well.
