My wife and I were planning on staying in Delhi for one day before starting a loop through Agra and Jaipur ultimately ending up at Ranthambore national park. We had already been traveling through India for a week and had been through a couple of rough hotel experiences. We arrived at the Hotel Clark Heights and immediately felt comfortable. Within an hour we decided we would stay another day. Then the next day we decided to stay another week. We liked the hotel so much that in the end we changed our entire itinerary and just did day trips to Jaipur and Agra and basked in the brilliance of the trip advisers that had gone before us.
The staff is second to none. Polite and helpful are serious understatements. A+
The rooms, because of our ad-hoc stay at Hotel Clark Heights, we changed rooms 3 times(because the place was booked), so we saw several of the rooms. The are all tastefully appointed and extremely comfortable. The only complaint we had was that the hot water heaters are small and in each room. This means that you only have about 5-7 minutes of hot water before it is gone. Once we figured this out, it was not a big deal. Overall - A
The restaurant was fantastic! We ate there several meals and each was delicious. I think we tried the majority of the menu and didnt find a single item that we did not like. By the end of our stay, we would just tell the chef to pick our meals for us because you couldnt go wrong. They will go very easy on the spice unless you tell them that you enjoy it. Overall A+
The location is a mix. On one hand you are in a relatively peaceful area and away from the craziness of Delhi. On the other hand, you are away from the craziness of Delhi. The good news is that there is a metro station(the metro is brand new, clean and people are much more polite than any metro I have been to) less than a 1/4 mile away. The downside is that you have to walk through a pretty nasty market area to get there. The Hotel Clark Heights offered to have an esc*rt go with us to the metro station, but we felt no need. It is well worth it though as a metro ticket will get you anywhere in Delhi for 15 rupees. Overall A+
I recommend Hotel Clark Heights enough. I would tell anyone going to Delhi to stay here. It may not be the mega-luxurious hotel that a Taj might be, but rupee for rupee the best hotel I have experienced in all of my travels(and my wife agrees).
