We had a smooth and pleasant pick from the airport after a long journey. On arrival at the hotel, we were shown to our room which was OK, quite nice but nothing special. I couldn't see the grounds as we arrived and left in the dark. It was Christmas day/evening that we were spending here before an early flight and I chose it because of the reviews of the restaurant. The bar area was really pleasant and we were given a glass of mulled wine to start things off. I wish I could remember the name of the girl who works there as she is fabulous, other staff members were not so helpful. I have an allergy and everything I ordered off the menu I was unable to have, despite giving them many months notice. This usually highlights to me that either things are not freshly prepared and the chef can't be bothered to make something off the menu without nuts. In the end I have a choice of two items from a vast menu. The food was quite nice but to be honest it was such a hassle the evening was spoiled. Breakfast in the morning was appalling, it was so slow. We ended up just having to leaving having had nothing to eat. We left wishing we had returned to The Imperial again!

My wife and I stayed here - our very first port of call in India. This hotel is absolutely beautiful. A haven from the bazaars of Chadni Chowk and the streets full of blaring traffic ! The Hotel restaurant is a gentle introduction to Indian fare - a fusion of flavours, Simply stunning - the meals are served expertly and without fuss. We can only compare the quality with that of the Lighthouse in Galle Sri Lanka. It was simply perfect and the staff so accommodating. Magic. Do go ! On your visit to Delhi do try to go to the Gurudwara bangla sahib sikh temple - amazing.

Here i am.
Another visit,another fairy tale.
Same heart warming smiles, same clean souls.
What a staff!!!!
They really mean it when they say ''Certainly Sir''
This place is my home in India.
Can't live without that....
Very special thanks to Mr. Tushar(life guard,i think he doesn't know how to say ''No we can't'')
Adnaan,Nisand and lovely Kiran( how can i forget your delicious breakfasts in the morning).....
Mr. Samrat (don't you get tired sometimes??)

Planning to stay in Delhi and still wasting time in front of computer???
Seat back and relax The Manor is there for you.....

I've had a nice stay here. The hotel is modern and attractive and the room comfortable. The staff members are very friendly, but it is not run to the standard of some of India's better hotels (of which there are many.)

The restaurant is top notch. I suspect they try to put the hotel guests on the veranda or lesser tables as it is a very "in" place. The day I checked in they told me it was fully booked. I was willing to eat at the bar or on the veranda and eventually they "found" me an outside table. I ate early, a bit before 7PM, and was dining alone so finished by 8. I was, when I finished, one of 3 or 4 occupied tables. They say they have to keep tables open as Delhi traffic is so bad they have no idea when people will show up. That said, I think they could have made the welcome a lot warmer. The food was worth it, though. Absolutely delicious.

The neighborhood is on the southern side of Delhi and not in a central location. Assuming you have a car and driver, this is no problem. The neighborhood, Friends' Colony, is very posh and gated and the hotel is just down the street from southern Delhi's nicest club. One certainly feels completely safe there.

There is a train track that is very close to the hotel and, while I never heard the whistle of a train, the rumbling created makes you feel like you are living through a series of small earthquakes. It did not cripple my stay, but if one is a particularly light sleeper it might.

All in all, this is a good, stylish place to stay. I stayed at the much more elegant (and expensive) Imperial last week and it is in a completely different category.
