Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Ajanta is often praised for its spacious rooms that some guests describe as 'royal'. Its location provides easy access to the metro and railway station, as well as being within walking distance of the main bazaar and New Delhi train station, although some find crossing the busy road nearby challenging. The hotel restaurant offers tasty breakfast and dinner, with the buffet breakfast frequently highlighted, though a few guests have noted the smart TVs could have more pre-installed apps.

The room was not what i expected, especially considering the cost. i found the ac barely functional and the room was too warm for me to get comfortable. I had to call for maintenance. also, the noise from the street was constant and loud. It made it difficult to sleep soundly at night. I could hear traffic clearly, even with the windows closed.
