Its a great place.
The Haveli has been lovingly restored and is amazing. So many interesting features to find. Roof terrace and restaurant are little havens after a day in Dehli. Food in restaurant in the evening is great: have the taster menu: you wont regret it.
Its on a little back street in Old Dehli. In fact heritage road is quite quaint in its way. I didnt feel unsafe. It is in walking distance of Red Fort and main mosque, and plentiful access to rickshaws. Uber is your friend too. So well located in that respect.
Old Dehli is very deprived. If you are not expecting a certain squalor to the area then you may not feel comfortable. The walk to the Red Fort will open your eyes and your nostrils! But. Its real life Dehli and that is a valuable experience. Going back to the Haveli is a perfect sanctuary at end of day.
We did a day in New Delhi too. I understood Connaught Square is a common place for western hotels. Tbh I didnt like it and Im pleased we stayed where we did.
Cant emphasise enough how great this hotel is in terms of sanctuary, history, food and experience. But if you arnt comfortable walking through the surrounding poverty its probably not for you. And maybe give Dehli a miss!
