The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel Delhi sits in New Delhi, one of those discreet upscale property additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. Geographically speaking it's in a quieter stretch of the city, well outside the tourist crush, and the modest location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel polished; the touches travellers mention most are reliable wi-fi, on-site parking and a small spa, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. Front-of-house has been attentive without being overbearing, the kind of detail that doesn't show up in the photographs but ends up on the review pages. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 2,000 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €77 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. It's the kind of New Delhi property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
