Shangri-La Eros, New Delhi

We have been always a fan of Shangri-la, but this experience at Delhi completely changed that, we will never stay at a Shangri-la again. We arrived almost 11pm, exhausted, the front door staff “ordered” us to scan our luggage, it felt that we are passing an airport security check, then at the front desk, we were told that our executive suite (for which we paid for USD $500 per night and on Ecpedia site advertised “Sleep 5”) can only have two adults; they surcharged us our 18 year old child, when we showed to them what Expedia site said, they blamed on Expedia for false advertisement. I subsequently asked them to write a letter so that we can show to Expedia, they then backed out from their story. Also when one of our friend questioned the need to scan every passport including the minors, the front desk manager threatened not giving us any room (leaving us to the street)

Pros: clean, amazing breakfast. Flexible and allowed us to reduce one night of our stay. Cons: staff is friendly but not competent. They sold us an upgrade only to realize a day later it wasn’t available for our entire stay and we had to change rooms in between. Hotels seems to think it is ok to run telemarketing campaigns for restaurant bookings. It was very annoying to get calls in the afternoon when our kids were sleeping.

Beautiful hotel! Staff was extremely kind and helpful. They brought chocolates and fruit to our room- our kids loved this. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was amazing. Great dining options in the hotel. We will be sure to return when we are back in New Delhi.
