I really enjoyed this hotel. It is simple and the staff very friendly. It is situated in one of the most sensory stimulating part of town but we felt quite safe here. The balcony and roof top gives you a good view of the chaos below. I would recommend this if you are looking for a simple and reasonably quiet place in the centre of the chaos of chandni Chowk.

The hotel itself is nice the rooms are clean and spacious. The food is very good and quick room service. The staff is helpful and courteous. The neighborhood in Chandi Chowk is a bit discomforting. While it's very close to Red Fort and Jama Masjid the hotel itself is hidden in an alley inaccessible to transportation and honestly not safe for families. As a solo male backpacker it was ideal and budget friendly.

Overpriced unclean hotel
Appalling hotel. I understand it was a decent place at one point but it's now extremely unclean with very poor service. Have to ask several times to get the room cleaned, and when it is it's hardly cleaned - just bed remade and the bathroom barely cleaned. The bathrooms are wet rooms, which are fine if cleaned, but these bathrooms are dirty. There is one very pissed-off boy who never sleeps and does all security and cleaning etc alone. He spends about two minutes cleaning the room, that's if he ever gets round to it. Not entirely his fault, the hotel should have more staff. You have to insist on every little thing several times, you can't assume that towels will be changed or bins emptied etc. Also the hotel has no duvets. Very stingy on all things, from pillows to loo roll. You basically have to beg for loo roll before every time you go to the toilet. You have to call to have the hot water turned on, takes half an hour to heat the water, and then when you turn the hot water tap on you have to fill 3 buckets with cold water before any hot water arrives. so something as simple as taking a shower takes planning and patience. All this would be fine if it was cheap but it's £35 a night; I stayed in Aiwan-e-Shahi for half that, with friendly staff, regular room cleaning, clean bathrooms, running hot water, a great restaurant with a great view and a better location in the same area. (btw this hotel has turned its dining room into a store room)

The hotel staff was great as is the room service and food options. The hotel driver Santosh is excellent and professional. DO not use the travel agency next door which is also owned by the same person. He will over charge and change booking last minute, to save himself money.

Tara Palace exceeded our expectations. The property was clean and the service was very prompt. We ordered food after we arrived late from our train journey and the food was good as well. Especially given that this is right in the middle of a gali in Chandni Chowk, this hotel was great.

it is close to iconic locations like Jama Masjid and lal kila. The access to hotel entrance is dirty. The roooms are simple, clean. The restaurant serves decent food. Though the service is littl slow. If you can ignore the location, then it is a fairly decent place to stay.

Safe friendly hotel in good location
I have stayed here 5 times now, 4 times alone, and 1 time with my Family. This hotel, is a gem, hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of old town. It is very quiet. The location is really exiting. Old Delhi sights and slap bang in the heart of Old Delhi. Well located near important Delhi attractions: Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Khari Baoli spicemarket, and 5 min walk to the Red Fort. God view from the rooftop. Excellent to go for the sunset. The hotel offers free hotel pick up from the Airport, which was there on arrival every time. It has a restaurant that serves very good food, If your booking includes breakfast, you get like 4-5 options from Indian to Western, and it is very good.. It also has room service from the restaurant 24 hours a day. The Staff, the whole way around from doorman to management, are very pleasant and helpful at all times and make you feel at home, most speak good English. The room was big and very clean, clean bedding and bathroom, TV, telephone, A/C, all in perfect working order. Compared with other hotels in Delhi at the same price, Hotel Tara Palace is a winner.

Good For Backpackers
This is not a luxury hotel. This is a clean, safe western-friendly accommodation in the overall messy and chaotic neighborhood of Chandni Chowk. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and the food served on the rooftop deck is outstanding, but you can expect hard beds and to hear your neighbors. The walls and floors are thin. That said, if you're looking to explore Old Delhi on a budget and are excited to be within the energy of the Chandni Chowk neighborhood than go for it.

Don't judge by first impressions
At first arrival (late at night, about 1130pm) we were taken aback. The hotel is down an alleyway behind what we later found out is part of the local bike market. Once inside the hotel it is very clean albeit small rooms. The hotel staff was very friendly & helpful. Overall a nice experience & if you're looking on budget this place was good for that. If you want 4 star US equivalent this is not it though. Oh yes... The food at the restaurant was very tasty! We are several meals there & all were delightful!

In the heart of Shahjahanabad -- Old Delhi!
I chose this hotel for its location! In the heart of the Old city of Delhi, a stone's throw away from Chandni Chowk. From here you can walk all over Old delhi, and then take tuk tuks to just about anywhere. There are at least eight markets right next to the tara palace location, all of them fascinating, all of them full of life, full of all sorts of people and trades and stalls -- all full of the REAL India! The restaurant blew me over! I didn't expect anything from the hotel food -- but the restaurant menu is very varied, for all tastes, and the food -- I tried many different dishes and they were all excellent! Well prepared and presented, tasty and copious! Five stars for the restaurant! Only small objection: the breakfast is excellent if you want ( as I did) Indian fare. But if you are one of those picky tourists who can't be without a "continental" or "American" (sic) breakfast -- well, it's not that good. Bring your own Chocolate coated Sugar bombs from wherever -- you won' (luckily) find any in Delhi! I definitely recommend this hotel; great value for money, and really , the best is its location!
