The joys of room service


Sitting in a plush hotel room and calling down to room service is exactly the kind of luxury guests want from a hotel stay. In fact more than the in-room amenities, its the room service which goes along with the guests as good or bad memories of their stay in a hotel.

Recent times have witnessed that people are actually booking a room and paying for it, they're expecting much more from room service. The excellent room service of a hotel is actually, for the guests, an escape from the everyday. 

The room service does not end with the courteous staff, but with what and how they bring into the room whatever was asked or ordered for! Hotel Le Roi takes pride in providing excellent room services to all types of rooms and with smile! From breakfast to dinner to housekeeping .. our guests are rarely dissatisfied.

What makes TripAdvisor useful?

TripAdvisor is all about empowerment. It has empowered the travelers by providing an open platform to applaud or criticize a hotel operator. TripAdvisor currently has more than 75 million reviews and this is a huge critical mass. The reviews not only keep hotel operators to the edge, since they have to give their best services but also helps consumers make an informed choice. 

When you are booking a new hotel for the first time, search the same hotel with its name and location and also look for hotels with plenty of reviews over an extended period, with the focus on the latest ones. Also, give more importance to the reviews by senior contributors. A senior contributor is a person who has multiple reviews to his name and considered to be more trustworthy.

Hotel Le Roi, New Delhi is also on the TripAdvisor. The hotel is (at the time of writing this post) ranked #66 of 556 hotels in New Delhi. If you wish to read the reviews of Hotel Le Roi or want to share your experiences about this hotel to the hotel, click the following link:

If you are planning a holiday vacation or business trip, it's a wise idea to put some thought into your hotel selection before making any final bookings! A hotel where you stay is almost like a home away from your home and therefore selecting the right hotel will make (or break) any trip.

There is no doubt about it that you would like to stay in a hotel that is comfortable, clean, safe, and where the staff is friendly and helpful. And if you you're in an unfamiliar place, then the hotel concierge becomes very important to you. So, one of the factor you should consider before making reservation is that the hotel has an efficient concierge desk!

Unless you have budget for renting a car, stay at hotels which are within walking distance of shops, restaurants and public transport stands/stations. This will help you save money on cab fare and also you'll have much more flexibility at mealtimes.

Prior to booking any hotels, it is recommended to do a quick internet search to find comments posted by other travelers who have stayed at those hotels. You will find that traveler recommendations are incredibly useful in helping them decide between hotels. TripAdvisor is such one website which will help you in deciding the hotel you wish to book.

The cost of booking hotel room is certainly most important factor to consider and a little reserach before reservation will help you get value for your money and also an enjoyable trip!
