The amenities were brilliant, i.e. the gym and the pool. The restaurant food for both breakfast and dinner were excellent. Finally the staff were very helpful. Also it was just very clean and well kept
This property has seen better days - upon first walking in you can feel its grandeur but that’s where the positive impressions stop.
The rooms were overly complicated and because so were tired and in a severe state of disrepair, the shower was disgusting
The desk was rude incapable of the simple task of arranging a taxi, and an arrogance towards the customer that everything was too difficult
There were exceptions to this with pockets of good service but generally staff were not responsive enough
Everything just way too formal for today’s market. A big refresh of its values I am sure would return this hotel to its proud history
It was really good staff were helpful n courteous..we really enjoyed Awadh diner ..amazing hospitality with good manners ..i would suggest that reception desk should have more polite n welcoming interaction
.one of young chap was very rude ..which could ruin the first hand experience...but otherwise all staff were amazing ..coffee shop staff was so warm welcoming ..overall very good stay
The bathroom in my room was outdated and not very user friendly. The shower had little pressure and it was very difficult to adjust the water temperature.
The breakfast service very poor. There was no easily accessible tea of coffee. The food layout was poorly conceived. The chef for the cooking station was often absent.
Overall, the hotel is shabby and in need of renovation and renewal, in decor, facilities and service
Rooms are very old fashioned, bedding is terrible, front staff is nice and courteous but the cleaners were angling for tips etc right from the get go, food is average, location is great.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was clean, and the room was large and comfortable.
Internet was not user friendly.
Property needed maintenance
Inconvenient room service menu
Breakfast only average...poor coffee and tea service, limited fruit
Overall, it is as good as any other 5-star hotel in Delhi. Nice spacious Halls, lobby, walkway & rooms.
Everything was excellent except for the room staff who are still in those colonial times, expecting a tip for everything, barging into your room for a tip.
Overall, it was a super experience hotel lobby staff was excellent, the food was great, rooms were great. 5 Stars for that.

Hospitable atmosphere
The staff at The Ashok is super friendly and very helpful. The hotel itself is a little run down, and administrative routines like check in etc. are slow and appearantly complicated. But probably not worse than at other hotels in India. Super nice outdoor pool except irritating that it closes when raining for no appearant reason.
The hotel is in a very good location and it is extremely safe. The breakfast was excellent--freshly made items, lots of variety and good service. But for a 5-star hotel, the wifi was incredibly bad. The connection was unstable during my entire stay. The wi-fi would cut out literally every few minutes. Despite multiple complaints, it did not get better. The other issue was noise. The hotel staff would often gather in the hallways and chat loudly or shout at each other across the hallway, even late in the night.

Disappointed
This is a very historic and elegant structure with a lot of great artwork. It is centrally located and convenient. Unfortunately, the standards of service are low. The coffee shop at breakfast time is chaotic, unclean and poorly managed. Room service did not occur. The internet is erratic and slow. Perhaps a more competent approach to management would help.

Overall it is an okayish place. There is still room for improvement. I did not like the fact that they did not provide us with NEW shower gels. The executive room was not that big which was a surprise! The wifi is not great, it works but you cannot make a video call.
The gym is great! But the only issue I feel is that they want to click a photo of your ID if want to use it. This can be made seamless by different ways. For me, I do not feel safe to allow a staff to click a picture of my passport with their phones.
Loud music every night until 2:30 am. Stinky smelly room smelling of mold. That’s why AC kept full, we could not control AC, no technician showed up on repeated request. The worst stay. Please give us our refund.
