This is a great hotel, the rooms, the facilities, the service and the location is great for the central part of Delhi. I especially liked the gym, and the comprehensive range of equipment there.
However many of the restaurants and services such as laundry are very overpriced, and you have no easy alternative, as the location is not close to any shops or restaurants.
There is very limited shopping in the hotel, mostly high end international fashion and accessories.

Since India can be overwhelming for a Western tourist, we figured we'd indulge ourselves with a little luxury and stay at the Oberoi at the beginning and end of our week-long tour of Rajasthan. The delightful surprise was that, on balance, the Oberoi experience felt like the very best value of the trip. Not only were airport transfers included, but so were (excellent) breakfasts, a dinner for two . . . and (ta-da!) an upgrade to a suite. And the intelligent, responsive service! We've been spoiled by an industry (luxury hospitality) that has raised customer service to a fine art. But, even in an Indian culture still struggling with the important distinction between obsequiousness and service, the Oberoi stands out as best in class. All of the staff made us feel like we were the only guests and that our experience was their personal responsibility. And, BTW, with its location surrounded by the park-like Delhi Golf Club in the leafy India Gate area of New Delhi, the Oberoi is indeed an oasis of calm serenity. I recommend this property without reservation.

Stayed for 3 nights over valentines period Feb 2013, this hotel, as do all Oberois I've stayed in, excels in its individuality, quality and service. True this hotel does have an older feel about the rooms, but classy and old world not brash or modern, which fits perfectly with the style of service ( mind blowingly good in every department ) and the feel of the whole property. Perfection in Delhi madness.

The hotel is really old school in terms of its rooms. One can tell that the rooms haven't been upgraded in about twenty years. They are clean, but definately NOT luxury!
The saving grace in the hotel is was the heated lap pool in a modern spa in the basement and the restaurant which was quite good.
Oh yes, and I ordered breakfast to the room (breakfast is not included in the room rate) and got ice cold eggs and worse than that - I asked for a fresh fruit platter where it was obvious that the fruit was pre-cut and put in the fridge so I got ice crystals in my watermelon - not a fun experience early in the morning !
