The Oberoi chain of hotels is notable for its excellent service and this hotel is no exception. Oberoi hotels may be categorised as veering more towards business or leisure, in my opinion One only has to look at those in Agra and Jaipur to see the luxury pleasure grounds that have been created. The Oberoi New Delhi is definitely directed more for the business traveller. This is not a criticism as the hotel's facilities are high class and the service discrete and charming.

The food is good but.... It seems that Oberoi hotels are adverse to serving bacon with the eggs. It seems that it comes separately usually once the eggs have been eaten. Remember that it is bacon and eggs. This also occurred in Kolkata. Separately the eggs were not as ordered but replacement was done with smiles.

The location is ecellent being just five minutes by car from Kkhan market for those requiring some retail therapy. I concur with previous comments about the higher the floor the better the view. We had a direct bearing on Humayun's Tomb. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

We have good news and bad news.
The Good news is that you were right about the Taj Mumbai being a beautiful and magnificent building.
The Bad news for the Taj is that:-
Your rooms are better.
Your room service people and cleaners are better.
Your reception and front office staff are 100% better, more customer orientatated and engaging.
Your serving staff are wholly professional and cater for the people they serve and obviously care for compared to a disinterested and unprofessional (Other than one or two ladies who sort to make a difference) muddle.
Your food is beyond excellent and deserves special praise
So Taj one point and Oberoi all the rest.
We will always seek out the Oberoi in our future travels and recommend you without reserve.

The Oberoi New Delhi is a wonderful hotel in the midst of the chaos of New Delhi.
Service is unsurpassed - staff continually looking for ways to make my stay comfortable. The facilities are clean and comfortable, the food outstanding.
I would rate higher if I could.....

5/5 Checking in/out: Extremely efficient and hassle free. A signature was all that was required and then off to the room.

4/5 Room: Extremely well laid out and furnished, sort of what one would expect.

4/5 Ambience/General: This older style or colonial style property is very comfortable with classic stely large lounge, large and comfortable reception areas.

Food
4/5 Breakfast; a good selection of buffet items and a selection of hot plated can be ordered if required.

4/5 Dinner; quite a wide selection of dishes covering International and Asia cuisine. Six of us had dinners and all the plates were appealing.

4/5 Beers/Wines; Quite a good selection to choose from.

5/5 Pool; while I did not try it, it certainly looked very welcoming, large and clean. Some of our guests tried the Massage and said it was first rate.

5/5 Staff; a very warm friendly, polite and professional set of staff.

Average Summary Score: 4.38 / 5

Excellent for business and I am sure equally pleasant for leisure. I wish I could have stayed longer. Value for money = yes.
