Hotel Vanson Villa, City Centre - With Free Airport & Train Station Pickup

Good location in central Delhi and very convenient and courteous pickup from the airport - even in the middle of the night.

Very hard beds and general shabby condition of certain things like curtains, air-conditioning unit, bathroom tiles etc. I guess to be expected in Delhi...

Lovely staff. Helpful and friendly. Good breakfast. Great location - very busy and vibrant. Quiet room. The free pickup from the airport was very welcome.

Nothing really - it was a fine stay. The room and shared spaces were rather tired and could have been a bit cleaner but it was perfectly acceptable.

Hotel was good, room was clean match their photos, fresh sheets, towels and all, WiFi worked fine. It was relatively quiet for such a central area but safe. The staff and pickup were the highlight!

Communications were good. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Food ordered at the property was very tasty and affordable. The room was generally clean. The fridge and AC worked OK. The area around the hotel is very much old India and very noisy and busy which is fine if you are used to it as you see the real Indian people living, working and sleeping on the streets.

The property is showing its age as many are in this area, but this is fine for many. There were many small ants in the bathroom on all surfaces which made us feel uncomfortable. We think this could be addressed. The bathroom was very clean otherwise. There is clutter piled up in the stairwell to the top floor outside of the restaurant area - Again this could be addressed. The various staff were polite and courteous but the thing that disappointed us the most was that we asked for help buying some beers when we arrived late (about 9pm) in the evening and we felt we were ripped off by the staff getting the beers for us, charging Rp.500 each for a single 500ml can. A can would normally cost about Rp.100 for Indians. A small increase would be acceptable, even double, but what we were charged was too much. Staff at other hotels have helped out without overcharging. We lost confidence asking the staff to help us with taxis, TukTuk or anything else because of this. We also left money on the table for a snack we ordered one evening but the charge was still on our bill when we checked out. There was some reduction in the charge when we mentioned it but from our calculations we were still overcharged unfortunately.
