- “The bathroom was pretty basic, and had a sink, a toilet, and a walk-in shower, with Dove toiletries in reusable containers. There wasn't much separation between the shower and the rest of the room, so when I showered, the rest of the bathroom got very wet.” 4

Noise
83- “The only downside is that it's removed from central Delhi sights, though India Gate and Qutub Minar are both a 30-minute drive away in ideal traffic conditions (budget up to an hour, realistically speaking).” 9
- “The sound insulation was horrible, and you could hear literally anyone and everything in the hallway, which was less than ideal for a hotel where people are moving around 24/7” 4
Room
93- “When it comes to the interior and cleanliness of the room, you will have to give it a 5 out of 5.” 15
- “The hotel has a total of 265 rooms (and 13 suites) with contemporary decor and generous amenities. All are spacious and well-finished, with gray tones, fresh white linens, glossy wood-finish floors, glass-topped work desks, and additional seating areas.” 9
Service
91- “The property offers outstanding cleanliness and attentive staff, making for a comfortable stay.” 12

Bed & Sleep
93- “While this hotel is no doubt incredibly convenient and the best place to get some rest, I can't say the hotel otherwise impressed me that much. It didn't feel terribly clean to me, and just generally wasn't very well maintained.” 4
Value
91- “Offers good value for its prime location and services.” 12
- “If you want to rest while staying airside in Terminal 3 at Delhi Airport, then the Holiday Inn Express is obviously the place to stay. The property is expensive, but you're paying for the convenience. While I appreciated the location, the room just felt sort of a little run down and unclean to me, in a way that left me with an unfavorable impression.” 4
