Hotel Tara Palace, Chandni Chowk

Clean, excelent service, quiet, spacy room. The area looks a little scary at first sight but it´s safe, no worries. Centric, interesting places around. It worth it. Walking distance to the red fort, the Jama Masjid, ***y temples, metro station, in the middle of the market.

Basic room, but very clean bathroom and good airconditioning. No safe but secure lock up room with basic bed and limited linen. No bottled water provided. In the area of the markets so very busy surrounds but if you are aware, this is a great location for the hustle and bustle and near ***n Jatley Cricket Ground which is why I chose this site. Friendly check-in team and experience

The hotel itself is nice the rooms are clean and spacious. The food is very good and quick room service. The staff is helpful and courteous. The neighborhood in Chandi Chowk is a bit discomforting. While it's very close to Red Fort and Jama Masjid the hotel itself is hidden in an alley inaccessible to transportation and honestly not safe for families. As a solo male backpacker it was ideal and budget friendly.

Slightly worried of the area this was situated in initially but, the hotel was perfectly comfortable and clean.

Appalling hotel. I understand it was a decent place at one point but it's now extremely unclean with very poor service. Have to ask several times to get the room cleaned, and when it is it's hardly cleaned - just bed remade and the bathroom barely cleaned. The bathrooms are wet rooms, which are fine if cleaned, but these bathrooms are dirty. There is one very pissed-off boy who never sleeps and does all security and cleaning etc alone. He spends about two minutes cleaning the room, that's if he ever gets round to it. Not entirely his fault, the hotel should have more staff. You have to insist on every little thing several times, you can't assume that towels will be changed or bins emptied etc. Also the hotel has no duvets. Very stingy on all things, from pillows to loo roll. You basically have to beg for loo roll before every time you go to the toilet. You have to call to have the hot water turned on, takes half an hour to heat the water, and then when you turn the hot water tap on you have to fill 3 buckets with cold water before any hot water arrives. so something as simple as taking a shower takes planning and patience. All this would be fine if it was cheap but it's £35 a night; I stayed in Aiwan-e-Shahi for half that, with friendly staff, regular room cleaning, clean bathrooms, running hot water, a great restaurant with a great view and a better location in the same area. (btw this hotel has turned its dining room into a store room)

I have stayed at the Tara Palace so ***y times that I cannot count. The staff are wonderful. The hotel is at a good distance from the noisy street and this you are assured a good night’s sleep. And the food is definitely worth eating! I will always consider the Tara Palace my home in Delhi.

I've stayed at this hotel at least two dozen nights in the past, favoring it for it's simple, consistent service, and great location. My first time staying since the pandemic, I can no longer recommend this hotel. A large room with a balcony view of the fort was replaced with a small closet overcrowded with furniture and with no exterior window. No AC remote was provided, so to turn the ac on or off you have to unlock the door and turn it off in the hallway. No remote was provided for the TV either. The dining hall, where breakfast was served is now being used as a storage room and breakfast had to be taken in the room. I received at least six unsolicited phone calls asking me to order food from the restaurant. I had to pay for bottled water when I arrived. Some sort of construction in the building could be heard at most hours of the day. Simple things that this hotel used to do right.

My Tara Palace is as good as ever. The staff are still the best in Delhi. The food is fantastic. The location in Chandni Chowk is convenient and comfortable. It will always be my home in Delhi!

I booked this hotel based on the reviews on TripAdvisor but having just stayed there for three nights I strongly suspect most of the reviews must be imaginary/made up. Tara Palace Hotel is located in a dirty slum area and can only be accessed by walking down a very dodgy looking and un-lit alleyway. Avoid especially if you have young kids and value safety/security.
