  • Yes - you can definitely stay here, and we think the value for the price is really good. 5
  • If you're just staying for one night, I'd honestly just pick whichever of those is cheapest. In this case, there just wasn't enough value to paying more for the JW Marriott. 19

Food12 mentions
  • The food was tasty and the experience was very satisfying. 10
  • Facility has a fantastic lounge as well. Great cocktails, very decent food totally sufficient for dinner. Great service on top of that. 7
  • We had no crowds when we arrived right at open. There was a huge breakfast buffet including a variety of Western, Indian and Asian dishes, including a fresh juice bar and a made-to-order egg station. The food was good, but it was overall a tad overwhelming for a hotel breakfast. 19
  • In addition to the small but excellent selection at the buffet, there's even a live-cooking egg station where you can put together your own fresh egg dish if you'd like. 5
  • Dinner was equally impressive, and I enjoyed the best chicken I've ever had last night. 10
  • We opted for room service for our one dinner at the hotel. For a variety of reasons - including a toddler who didn't nap and parents who hadn't showered recently - we weren't fit for the nicer dining options. The food came quick and was good. 19
  • Extensive breakfast buffet with diverse and delicious options available. 10
  • Other than the instant coffee, there was nothing wrong with our stay. 19
  • I began a busy day with a nourishing breakfast at K3 consisting of a large bowl of muesli, egg white omelette and sourdough toast washed down with delicious cappuccino coffee. 14
  • Fragrant spices fill the air at K3 restaurant, serving international cuisine in elegant surroundings. 11
  • Amazing staff, excellent quality of food and overall hospitality. 6
  • The lobby was beautiful and our breakfast was tasty. 19
Noise1 mention
  • Breakfasts, accompanied by cheerful background music, provide a fantastic way to begin the day. 10
Location10 mentions
  • The location is particularly well-suited for business trips, short stays, or early as well as late flights. 5
  • However, the hotel is especially recommended for anyone who expects a certain Marriott standard during their stay in Delhi - and, of course, for those of you who appreciate its proximity to the airport. 5
  • The custom chauffeured Mercedes-Benz airport transfer felt like a five-star experience before I even set foot inside the property. 4
  • Conveniently located near the airport, ideal for travelers. 10
  • From start to finish, my time at the JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity was an exceptional travel experience - elegant, welcoming, and perfectly located for both first-time visitors and seasoned explorers. 4
  • The room category also entitled me to an airport pickup and drop which was convenient during peak traffic hours. 14
  • The JW Marriott Delhi is located in the Aerocity area near the airport. This is a great location if you have an early morning flight or if you land in Delhi in the evening. 19
  • Convenient and fast transfers to and from the airport. 10
  • Due to its location, I wouldn't recommend the JW Marriott for a longer Delhi stay, but it was a perfectly fine airport hotel. 19
  • The JW Marriott's location in Delhi is not ideal for tourism. It's pretty far west from most of the city's main attractions. 19
Service21 mentions
  • Guests can retreat to the outdoor pool with plush umbrellas and attentive service, or visit the Spa by JW for Swedish massages and Ayurvedic treatments for ultimate relaxation. 11
  • The hotel staff were very kind and welcoming. 10
  • The hotel's Christmas display was stunning - vibrant, welcoming, and full of the festive spirit that makes winter travel so special. 4
  • Overall, the staff here at JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity knew what they were doing and were friendly the entire time. 5
  • Staff is attentive, friendly, and provides exceptional hospitality throughout. 10
  • Super location, fastastci staff at the reception and at breakfast and the housekeeping staff also very friendly and helpful . 10
  • Of course, toiletries are available here as well. These are from an Indian brand, but - just like at the Andaz - they differed from the hotel's usual in-house brand - though they actually smelled quite nice. 5
  • The front desk team did a great job and was always smiling and professional. 5
  • In the restaurants and the Lounge, the service staff were also always friendly and attentive. 5
  • Staff are very professional and courteous. Amazing hotel. 10
  • I was immediately approached by a friendly staff member who was drawn to my child's very blonde hair (just like most people in India). She offered us juice and chatted with us for a bit. 19
  • The very friendly attentive and helpful Restaurant staff: Bhanu Pratap, Nimish Manchanda, Puneet Thakar, Shahnawaz Khan. 6
  • As soon as I entered the hotel the professional and courteous staff attended to me instantly and helped me with proceeding towards a seamless check-in. 14
  • Everything was ready for checkout as we arrived at the desk, and the process went smoothly, in a friendly and professional manner and without any issues. 5
  • Arriving by foot at that time caused a moment of confusion among the staff, but after a brief explanation, they were immediately very helpful. 5
  • Amazing staff, excellent quality of food and overall hospitality. 6
  • Everything from having tours arranged with the hotel not being booked to not given the suite I was promised and being changed for airport transport. However, despite very poor service recovery, it's the staff that keep me returning. 14
  • Despite the late hour, the lobby was still bustling - a classic airport hotel, really. We were still called up quite quickly, and the check-in itself went fairly smoothly, though there was no cold towel or welcome drink. 5
  • The service was excellent, and the variety of dishes appeared endless. 10
  • The staff are welcoming, efficient, and very helpful. 10
  • The service was efficient and kind. 19
Room15 mentions
  • Having multiple essential amenities fail in one room shows poor maintenance and quality control, negatively affecting the guest experience. 10
  • Like I said, overall it was a nice, new, comfortable room. It's exactly what you'd expect and need from an airport hotel. 19
  • The air conditioning in our room was broken, making it uncomfortable the entire time. 10
  • The air conditioning in rooms is not working properly. Had to change a room and it was still not ideal - lack of oxygen. 6
  • The room was clean and spacious. 19
  • Inside my room, the attention to detail was clear. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and came with a thoughtful surprise: a complimentary bottle of wine and snacks waiting for me. 4
  • In looking back at our bill now, I just noticed that we were also erroneously charged for a minibar bottle of vodka which we most certainly didn't drink. 19
  • In addition to the air-conditioned interior, the Lobby Lounge also features a truly beautifully designed terrace in the building's courtyard. Located right next to a small water feature, it's a great place to relax in the evenings and at night. 5
  • Complimentary bottled water was provided. There was no coffee maker, but instead an electric kettle and a small selection of instant coffee and teas. This was definitely the worst part about the room. 19
  • Room Tour - 1 King Guest Room We booked a 1 King Guest Room. We booked a 1 King Guest Room. It was a basic room, but it was very roomy with a large bathroom and plenty of seating. 19
  • Inside the room was a King bed, which faced a nice sized TV, with nightstands and outlets (Type D plugs) on both sides. 19
  • Past the bed was a couch, small coffee table, desk and office chair. There was no black-out curtains, but the drapes were very thick and easily blocked out the natural light if needed. 19
  • I stayed in a spacious one-bedroom Executive Suite with modern fitting and luxury amenities, a king-size bed, complimentary wireless internet, a spacious work desk and electrical outlets conveniently fixed near the workstation and much more. 14
  • At 42 square meters, the room is a decent size and, in addition to the bed, features a small sitting area with a sofa and coffee table, as well as a workspace with a desk and chair, which can also be used for dining. 5
  • At the spacious Lobby Lounge, located directly across from the front desk, you can observe the courtyard through huge windows and also marvel at the truly impressive glass sculpture hanging from the ceiling - which also serves as a giant light installation after dark. 5
Bed & Sleep1 mention
  • The king-size bed was truly very, very comfortable and came with a wonderfully cozy, soft comforter and four identical pillows. 5
Value4 mentions
  • Breakfast was not included with our stay and since it was buffet pricing, it was very expensive for what we actually had time to eat. 19
  • Yes - you can definitely stay here, and we think the value for the price is really good. 5
  • Considering the high price, this level of service and upkeep is unacceptable. 10
  • If you're just staying for one night, I'd honestly just pick whichever of those is cheapest. In this case, there just wasn't enough value to paying more for the JW Marriott. 19
Bathroom1 mention
  • The rather spacious bathroom features a vanity with a sink directly across from the door, where you'll also find the usual amenities. 5
