My husband and I stayed at the Connaught for 2 nights in March 2008. We were a little hesitant after reading some of the Trip Advisor reviews, but we thought the hotel was fine, especially as it was our first 2 days in India and we expected much worse!
The room was clean, spacious and nicely furnished. The bathroom smelled a little musty but this didn't bother us too much. What did bother us was a phone outside our room which rang early in the morning every 10 minutes or so. I think reception use this to get staff to look over the rooms when guests check out. I appreciate this is necessary but we did find it annoying. We ate in the coffee shop on one of the nights. I stuck to vegetarian food, which was tasty, but my husband's chicken tasted a little off and he was ill later that night.
I didn't feel that the hotel amenities were advertised well enough, for instance, we didn't realise there was a bar and restaurant on site. We wouldnt've gone to the coffee shop had we known!
The hotel was fine for those wanting a short stay on a budget.
