location is the biggest favorable point for the property. surrounding shopping area and Lodhi garden are two main attraction. Hotel can do better with breakfast options and the sitting area- doesn't give the feel of a Buffet spread as adequate. The pool has been under renovation for a long. The gym is very very rudimentary and too small too. they can sure do better by improving buffet breakfast, Gym and pool. They can do better with complimentary toiletries which are not provided in full till you ask.

Beautiful property in an amazing area. The reception greeted me in a friendly way and upgraded my room to a suite. I had a late flight the following day and they let me checkout at 3pm. Mr. Ajay Kumar, working at front security for the hotel was very friendly, accommodating and exemplary employee, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Thank you.

On the whole, this is a lovely hotel with an amazing history. I was upgraded to a top floor room which was very nice and unexpected. However, I have only given the hotel 4 stars because I felt certain areas were lacking especially as I had spent the previous week at a 5 star resort hotel within the same hotel group. Bathroom: the towels were clean but well used and thin. The shower curtain could do with replacing. An access panel cut into the marble bath surround had been filled with pink plaster. Bedroom: the bed was very comfortable. There were bedroom slippers but no robes. The water was supplied in plastic bottles, not particularly environmentally friendly. The art deco sunburst design on the dresser was very pretty but the dresser itself could have benefitted from a sanding and revarnish, the draw runners were stiff too. I opted to have breakfast at the hotel, this was very nice. What really disappointed me was the lack of swimming pool. The Hotels.com entry lists a pool as one of the amenities yet the hotel does not have a working pool. There is a sign at the entrance to the inner courtyard stating that the pool is being refurbished. There is an opportunity to take a transfer to the local Taj hotel and use their pool.

Almost perfect
The staff at this hotel is as good as anywhere in the world. Any complaint or request was addressed immediately. They were always smiling and eager to please in any way needed. Our room was very large and comfortable, and the bathroom appeared to be new. A couple of things were not perfect. Our carpet was in need of cleaning, and the overhead shower appeared to be rusty or also need a good cleaning.

Lovely housekeeping and dining staff. Bhup Singh and Uma Shankar were very courteous and provided service with a smile. Also the gentleman who takes your luggage at the reception. I will be back at the Ambassador for sure. Spacious room and soundproof. Location is superb in terms of connectivity. Reception staff are fine but not as polished as the rest of the crew, but they are younger so that probably explains it.

The Ambassador is a nice hotel in the green New Delhi area of the city. A short walk away from a small shopping area with upmarket shops and reasonably priced restaurants and a bank with ATM. Also within walking distance (or short taxi/Tuk Tuk ride) is Lodi Gardens which has several historic buildings. The staff at the Ambassador are excellent as are the drivers of the Hotel Car service. The rooms and beds were also excellent. Would stay there again.

I stay at Ambassador frequently when in Delhi if I cannot stay at my Club. I like the old world charm and the balconies and good sized rooms. The breakfast and the staff at breakfast are also lovely. Ambassador has a problem they need to fix if they are to be taken seriously -- they charge for ice! It took me 45 mins to get an ice tray delivered to my room (and, yes, I refused to pay for it). They need to read customer feedback and install an ice machine or provide ice trays in their fridge or make the ice delivery prompt and complimentary.
