The room was spotless, the staff were hugely helpful. It was great being able to leave some of our luggage with the hotel while we went on a side trip. We had a great visit!
The hotel was excellent. The staff were very helpful. We were able to leave some luggage for 5 days which was amazing. We also appreciated the kindness and delicious food of the attached restaurant

The price was great. The hotel was quiet and centrally located. The breakfast was great- all you can eat with a great variety. Everyone was very nice. I found this Hotel through the Lonely Planet book and I’m so grateful i found it. It’s basic but was PERFECT for me. They have a cafe/restaurant on site which is convenient too! If you are ok with a basic solid hotel to crash at the end of each day, this place is perfect!
We stayed for 3 nights at the Hotel Ajanta. The lady working at the Check-in desk was absolutely marvelous. We arrirved at 330pm and had to wait a short time for our room - in return the Hotel treated us to a complimentary upgrade. The suite was fantastic and had all the necessary amenities. Room service from the attached Cafe restaurant was also very food. All the staff including the door man were most helpful and polite and did everything to accommodate our needs. The location is great making it easy to get around. We were very satisfied with this Hotel and will be back again on our next visit to India.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was centrally located and a nice reprieve to come back to from the hustle and bustle. Staff were super helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable… the bathroom was old and tired. I recommend it though for people on a budget. They even picked us up from the airport which was fabulous. Thank you Ajanta
The property is in a safe location. They provided Airport pickup service at 2:30am. Their breakfast selection is amazing.
Good clean rooms. Overall a very pleasant stay. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and comfortable.
I had booked this for my older parents who were returning from US. They had a great experience checking in, getting dinner late in night and mentioned that the rooms were good, clean and spacious. I've had some bad experiences with other hotels in the past but it was great to know this experience was good.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was very kind and friendly.
The room was adequate, and the bed arrangement worked well for 4 of us.
However, the hotel can improve cleanliness for the room floor and the bathroom. The bathroom is overdue for maintenance.
The restaurant staff was very attentive and kind.
From the first moment we arrived until we said good-bye. All of the staff was very accommodating, we checked in early and had breakfast early on our last day because we were leaving before breakfast started. Some people said it was not in the best area of Delhi, but that was part of the experience.
Hotel was good. Nice breakfast. It is very close to the train station which added 10-15 minutes to every trip just trying to get around the traffic. That's the only reason I might not stay again since it was a significant obstacle. I was also unclear which rooms had balconies and which didn't I stayed in two different rooms that were booked the same. One had a balcony and the other didn't.
I stay in this regularly since 2001 and always come back to it because the location is good, Connaught Place area, Janpath, New Delhi railway station are all reachable by foot, not so far from Old Delhi as well. Lots of Streetfood options nearby. They offer airport pick up and it always went properly.
Buffet breakfast also very good for the price with a good choice of Indian options.
Laundry service perfect and the rooms I had were big and comfortable although I was a bit disappointed of the suite room because the shower was not so good and water wasn't hot. The superior room was better, at least I think it was the superior room.
Staff friendly and always helping
This was my first trip to New Delhi, and staying at Hotel Ajanta was definitely the way to go. The hotel and the room were beautiful, near Old Delhi. The front desk gave me good advice about where to get things I forgot to pack. They had a travel service in the lobby that connected me to a driver who took me on the best tour of Delhi. They also recommended we visit the Taj Mahal, which wasn't in our plan, but ended up being one of my most favorite things in India. And the driver left early with us so we could see it in the morning ligt. I felt safe and cared for in a new city and country! Our driver also took us back and forth to the airport a few times, greeting us with marigold malas and water. The hotel's restaurant, Café Vagabond by Saffron, was delicious. I would recommend staying here again!
