We had a somewhat odd experience here. We had booked online and the room discription was of a room with a garden view and either a kingsize bed or twins . In the event the room we were put into had no view and an ordinary sized bed. We complained to the deputy manger at which point things took a... more

A great Delhi location, a pretty good 1930's builiding, and loads of money spent on jazzing it up is still spoilt by energetic but forgetful and unskilled service. In India, charm and a real (not unforced) concern for guest's welfare comes free. To mess it up by not ensuring that the (admittedly characterful) staff remember to bring tea, clear dirty... more

This is my third visit to the Imperial and they've done it again - a hidden oasis in the hustle abd bustle of Janpath. Overall a great stay but There were a few minor things which disappointed. Front desk and check in: Me and my mom arrived at the hotel (from the airport) at 11.50. Check in is at 12... more

Expensive but well worth the money. We booked a suite for a family of 4 (14 & 6) and even though our youngest should have stayed in our king size bed,since she stayed free, I found a blanket and asked for an extra sheet which meant she slept on the sofa. Our son was an extra £70.00 a night with... more

We stayed at the Imperial for 3 nights. A heaven in the middle of all the bustle in the streets. The room was very comfortable. Very polite and helpful staff. Several very good restaurants in the hotel. I like very much the bar. Quick an effective service. We spent 2 afternoons by the pool which was great. An overall very... more

All round just the most spectacular hotel. Drive up a long palm fringed drive to the bell-men wearing the most elaborate uniforms, then enter the most sublime jasmine infused, flower laden marble foyer. An all round sensory experience! Impeccable service, stunning rooms, quite formal and austere but quintessentially respectful service. You really feel like you've been transported to another place... more

Stayed at Imperial for one week on a business trip. Stayed in 2 separate rooms due to taking a side trip to Agra. First room was lovely, bright & airy, situated close to front of hotel. Second room was very small, very noisy and had no natural light. Service in the hotel restaurant was good. Service in the bar was... more

We had a very mediocre stay at the Imperial. The building is undoubtedly gorgeous, and is definitely worth a thorough walk-through. However, I would not recommend staying here. As mentioned in previous reviews, the service was lackluster - polite, but very stiff. Our room was also very claustrophobic - only small windows that look out onto an interior courtyard (with... more

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 nights at the beginning and end of our Golden Triangle trip. When we arrived we were greatly impressed at how beautiful the hotel was. It was an oasis of calm in a very hectic and hot city. It is a fine Art Deco building and has a lovely colonial feel inside with magnificient... more
