Good morning to all readers and to all staff @ Trip. I recently tripped to India ( April 2023 ) . I stayed at Hotel Hive after arriving at Delhi. The purpose was to meet my close friend, who resides there. Hotel stay 7th to 11th Apr morning. I specifically requested a suite room single occupancy , over the phone which was approved and the deal was to pay on arrival. I was given room 311 suite. I did not realise that this room was next to the busy GT road. A flyover and two service roads. That's when I paid for my misfortune. The road noise / traffic noise / truck horns blaring day and night. It's like you are in the middle of the road hearing everything. I could not sleep for 3 nights. The room was nicely lit up. And that's the only thing appreciable. Now I'll get to room details. Bed was ok for me . The AC for April was good. Full On. There were frequent power cuts but that resolved quickly. The overhead ceiling fans provided much needed respite. The mini-fridge in the room was non-functional. It didn't work .. And I was told that the hotel does not provide a mini-fridge that actually works. All my water bottles stayed warm throughout. Cold water bottles from room service was double the price that I could buy from outside. Bathroom door lock, Front door lock .. both were damaged and needed repair. Room Wifi was limited to only one device and that was medium speed. There was wiring in the room that needs repair. Room service for food and drinks was prompt... I look at the receipt and thought it was ok , compared to many hotels I have stayed. The hotel bar and dining room service shuts down at 22:45 hrs, which is thumbs down from me. The morning breakfast was really poor to average. I paid £7 for the brekkie on 7th am. It was rubbish ! Not many options. Everything was oily and salty. And to top this all ..the pick up from Delhi international airpot. I was charged £ 37 by the hotel. I called a local cab service to drop me back to the airport. And that was £ 22. I will never stay here again because 3 nights sleepless made me ill. There are better hotels to stay ..... far away from GT road. I want to thank Mr Luvkesh, Mr Kapil and Mr Kapil for helping me with everything. Pics attached. The truck horn blare is truly unbearable. A torture for sure.
