Reviews of Hotel The Spot

26 April 2011 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: Great staff, Wi-fi has been working great for me in the room. Great value if you ask me.

Disliked: The a/c in my room wasn't working, but I didn't even ask to change rooms cause the fan was just fine.

Liked: the staff here are very welcoming. I am a lone female traveller and they sent someone to meet me on the main street as it was dark when I arrived. They are very obliging and can't do enough to help you. I did get the feeling the travel guy was just trying to get money from me though. And I booked a dorm room and was told it was gull when I arrived and the next day was told I couldn't be moved there. I was led to believe this room may be mythical so checked out. All in all quite dirty but I felt basically safe there and pretty good value for money

Disliked: A bit dirty. No dorm room available and travel agent person felt like he was trying to take my money.

Liked: The property is cheap and does have wi-fi, though you may have some connectivity issues. The location on the Main Bazaar means that there are plenty of cheap eats, good access to Old Delhi sights, Connaught Place, and the Metro for trips to other areas in Delhi, but also that you have to deal with touts and fake travel agents. Hot water is not that hot though and not always available. Probably not worse than other Paharganj hotels but don't expect much.

Liked: Great for people on a budget. Location, location, location. Right in the heart of the action and main bazzar area, just down a small alley less than 5 mins straight up from New Delhi train station.

Disliked: Staff were very helpfull making taxi arrangements and phoning local numbers of people i needed to contact and helping me with any queries i had. Ask for the hot water to be turned on 20 mins before needed but was warm/hot most of the time anyway. The beds and rooms were basic, good size and sparse but reasonably tidy for indian and had tv with many channels. internet is right next door and it's just off the main bazzar. For the price it can't be beaten! If you want luxury stay look else where.

Liked: Its in the center of New Delhi.You have one of the best markets of Delhi in your doorstep!Staff is friendly and its very safe.Rooms are big enough.Good value for money.

Disliked: Much noise. Its as if everything that happens at the road is actually hapenning inside your room! But you get used to it... Its kind of hard to find, but if you go at the main basar street, the one that starts next to New Delhi station and ask someone, someone will be able to help you. My advice is to ask and not try to find it yourself because you might get lost easily.

Liked: free wifi

Disliked: wifi sucked...very slow

15 November 2010 Tim would recommend this property

Liked: Great location just off Main Bazar, not too noisy and the staff were helpful with booking taxis and local advice.

Disliked: The rooms are a bit more basic than advertised, but they're still clean and serviceable if you just want a place to crash out and wash.

11 November 2010

Liked: It had a television that sometimes worked

Disliked: Everything. Don't stay there.

01 September 2010

Liked: The staff was my favorite part. They were very friendly and helpful providing directions and suggestions for my stay. The location was also good; although down an alley and difficult to find at first, it was right in the heart of where I wanted to go.

Disliked: I did not appreciate the surprises of no available dorm rooms and no in-house wifi. I was misled and the only way to get my "deposit value" was to pay extra for a single room even though I would have rather had a dorm room like I had booked online. I told the front desk man to make sure to update the website to reflect currently available rooms and I hope he does that soon to prevent further confusion with guests. Other than those 2 things, I enjoyed my stay.

15 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it was in a convienient place to the main train station (2 min walk) and everything you need is on the door step- ie (water, toiletries, internet etc). rickshaws and taxis know where it is, close to some good eateries, they provide a taxi service at the airport (very reassuring for solo women!) helpful desk and clean(ish) amenieties but very basic. comfy beds, safe locks on rooms, good hideaway from main bazzar, but safe.

Disliked: dingy windows meant miimal light but the alley way it is on is poorly lit anyway, not much atmosphere for backpackers, good hideaway and cheap location for quick stopover, not long term.

26 June 2010

Liked: Didn't like: they overcharged me for the room by not deducting the 10%deposit from the price.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

14 February 2010

Liked: It was ok but there is a lot of similar hotels around or more expensive and better or cheaper and worse. I would recommend to go there and ask in many hotels (there is really a lot of them in that street (Main Bazaar)) and choose at the place.I was warned about this location, it's cheap part of city with many poor people which really wants your money so your stuff might not be at the safe place here. But I spent there around 5 days and nothing bad happened so I can not confirm it.
