    Nothing to remember.

    The hotel is a different level of experience. Very sophisticated interiors in the hotel and the restaurants, top tier staff attention. Would like to distinguish the concierge Mr Ravinder, who went an extra mile to accommodate our requests and sorted out many issues that looked hard to tackle for me.

    THE IMPERIAL provided warmth, style, class and history. Excellent 5*+ and worth every rupee.

    Very Little, maybe the airport pick up was a bit expensive for a people carrier but it did the job. If you have a bath then maybe bubble bath should be provided.

    There is 5* and the Imperial 5*, class, style and history. All 800 staff smile and are polite and very attentive to your needs. They're all obviously proud of their hotel and the management has the ambition to be the best in India, a dangerous combination for all other hotels. In my opinion they either are no 1 or very close to it. I first stayed in 1996 and it had style then but was run down, my last visit was in 2005 when the hotel had been upgraded significantly. Today, WOW, new stunning pool area has replaced the old one and breakfast terrace area extended into garden area. makes it the best in every respect. Attention to detail is everwhere - at breakfast the teapot and milk jug handles have small cushions around them to stop you burning your fingers, thats if you can lift them theyre so heavy, but dont fear theres always an attentive person nearby to pour the tea for you. Room was stunning with seperate bath, shower and a walk in wardrobe. Whilst staying there the toilet flush broke resulting in constantly gurgling running water, one phone call and within 15 mins the plumber was there to fix the problem - where else would that happen. Breakfast wide choice and ambient atmosphere, where else can you sit and have breakfast on the table where the historic partition of India documents were signed by Churchill, Nehru and Jinnah - History. Overall a fantastic hotel / museum in a good location near the janpath markets and value for money 10 out of 10, If I ever return to Delhi, I know where I'm staying.

    There is absolutely nothing not to like!

    What an amazing stay we had at the Imperial! The staff were so kind and professional. They treated us like Royals! The hotel is simply stunning, the architecture and decoration are a must. I spent a whole hour strolling around the hotel and it was amazing. Everything is just woah! We got upgraded to a suite that was very spacious and so comfortable! The service is perfect, the staff really ensure that you are having the best stay. They are always happy to help you with any query you might have and they really made me feel at home. The gym is also great, the machines are brand new and there are many options. Bonus point for the cold towels available at the end of your workout! The swimming pool is also amazing, it is a little bubble of relaxation in the heart of busy Delhi. Looking forward to my next trip Delhi so that I can come back to the Imperial!

    All perfect

    My stay at The Imperial is always wonderful. However, before my November visit, I stayed in June of this year and found that the price of my stay most recently was much more expensive. However, I noticed on Booking.com that there were deals available for a much cheaper stay on the weekend I was there. I had booked in advance so had to pay the original cost attached to my earlier booking. I requested an extension to the use of my room which was far too expensive…but given I was already paying above the cost for that weekend and that I come regularly…perhaps a compromise could have been made for the extended use of my room? A little disappointing.

    Beds far too hard for us. Even with a topper they prevented us having a great nights sleep. Such a shame as this was my favourite hotel of our 25 night tour of the finest hotels in India.

    A bit noisy at night, but was more the fault of drunk people getting back to their rooms than the hotel itself. However in such a place, better phonic insulation is recommended
