The Ashok

What a fantastic stay at the Hotel Ashok! This magnificent, heritage hotel truly exceeded expectations during my recent business trip. The sheer scale and historical grandeur of the property were impressive, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere.||||Beyond the aesthetics, the services were consistently outstanding. Every interaction was professional and welcoming, making the trip effortless. A particular highlight was the excellent WiFi connectivity, which proved to be an invaluable extra benefit for staying productive and connected. Highly recommend for both business and leisure!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Hotel Ashok last month for a business trip. This truly huge and heritage property offers an unparalleled experience. The grand architecture and historical ambiance were captivating, making every moment feel special. The services provided were exceptional, with a highly attentive and professional staff. A major plus was the consistently reliable and fast WiFi, which made working remotely seamless and enjoyable. This high-quality internet service is definitely an outstanding benefit for both business and leisure travelers. Highly recommended!

My 4-night stay at The Ashok was very disappointing. For a 5-star property and the price I paid, the experience fell far short of expectations. The in-room phone was not working, the AC barely functioned (I even had to request a fan due to the heat), and the overall room maintenance was poor. Even the bedside socket didn’t work. Breakfast quality was below average and did not reflect the standard of a premium hotel. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again, and it hardly deserves its 5-star rating.

Pros: • Excellent location. • Common areas are clean and well-staffed. • Staff is warm and welcoming. • Gym and pool facilities are good. • Breakfast menu offers a wide variety. Cons: • Room quality does not match the exterior appearance. • Broken shower. • Towels were old, worn, and stained. • Commode was not functioning properly. • Room felt dated and poorly maintained. • No soap provided in the restroom. • AC could not be set below 21°C. • Due to the location, there are often many politicians present, which can affect the overall environment.

Very bad service. Very bad and smelly rooms. Bathroom is like of 2 stars hotels Hot water kettle is of vintage style and so is staff. For the price they charge food quality and room is not of that standard. The hotel is so pathetic that even Electricity does not want to stay here. Electricity went off for more than 9 - 10 times in our room. One of room even had bell issue. Bell was like old lady of the hotel she use to ring automatically at any odd hours of the day. We have literally get the wired cut and rely on our hearings capacity to hear the knock on the door.

Highly disappointed with how such a beautiful property has been neglected by the government that manages it. My humble request to the authorities: you have a gem in one of the most stunning locations, please take proper care of it. I was allotted Room No. 410, but the moment I stepped in, it felt like entering an old, rundown heritage home , with a damp smell, dust and an overall unpleasant atmosphere. I had to walk out immediately and it truly saddened me to see such potential going to waste. If the government is unable to maintain a property of this stature, I sincerely suggest handing it over to a private operator who can restore its charm and make it a pride of Delhi. As a proud Indian, I want to see our country’s assets shine, not diminish. Please don’t let such negligence spoil the reputation of our capital and our nation. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

As soon as we walked into the room it smelled like a public toilet in the middle of Delhi. The toilet itself was quite dirty. I had to request 3 times before they sent someone to clean it. I went down for a cup of tea and it was horrible, not even drinkable. The food at the dinner service was not terrible but wasn’t very good either. They don’t let bikes in from the main road, I had to Blinkit something twice and ordered food from Swiggy, I had to walk from the hotel to the main road each time. The bed was also terrible, absolutely no support from the mattress, I’m writing this as I struggle to sleep with a pillow (the one nice thing are the big, comfy pillows) under my back. Overall terrible experience, I wouldn’t come back if it was a quarter of the price.

Average Experience at The Ashok Hotel, New Delhi The location of The Ashok Hotel, New Delhi is undoubtedly brilliant, offering a grand view and a central position that is convenient for business and leisure travelers alike. However, the rooms are quite old and lack modern amenities or updated technologies. The television does not support streaming applications, which is disappointing for a hotel of this stature. The washroom conditions are only average, and overall the property seems to be in need of refurbishment. The service quality was average, with staff support not meeting expectations of a five-star property. The buffet food was also average, lacking variety and the finesse one would expect. Overall, while the location and history of the hotel stand out, the rooms, service, and food quality need significant improvement to match modern hospitality standards.
