This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Another Great Review. Whenever I am at Delhi, Andaz is my go to hotel. 2 things i love, the morning buzz at Annamaya filled with commercial and air force pilots, 2nd is offcourse the lovely runway view. But one big letdown is it has no view of Runway 29 where the big birds especially Lufthansa , SQL and Emirates A380s land. In aerocity, Roseate House and its buffet are ace.Taj Santacruz at Mumbai offers the best runway view in India.Once again, Thanks and warmest regards Kevin.

@@tfft Great! If I end up stating, I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@moldytexas]

I stayed at the Andaz earlier this year, and I absolutely had one of my best stays at a hotel! My room was facing the runway, and I was mostly glued to the sofa for that reason, but even then the rest of the service and amenities were top notch. If I am recollecting correctly, the only non-functioning thing in my room was the HDMI cable haha. That said, it was a fairly expensive at ~ $300, but for the experience, I think it was worth it in my opinion. Also, the gripe about the location is understandable for some, but at the same time there's an Aerocity metro station a couple hundred metres out, with connections to pretty much every corner of the capital. if you're looking for some overrated hotels to review, might I suggest some of the Marriott group ones in Kolkata or even Delhi.

Good one Kevin, How about doing some cheaper hotels in the future, I love watching these luxury ones but can’t afford to stay there

[@tfft]

Except for some niche circumstances, value oriented hotels simply don't attract a large enough audience to justify the time/money investment to make the videos. Of course everything is relative, but I personally love me some good three and four star hotels, but when we're talking about ~$70/night price tags, consumers generally don't feel the need to extensively research the choice beforehand- based on my metrics at least. Thanks for watching 🩴

[@marti_in_tx]

Am working on finishing the India playlist before going on or going back. Wow, that was an underwhelming hotel. Long long ago, I used to overnight in the hotel at the Ohare in Chicago when traveling from HKG to SAT. Don't ask, I just hate LAX and SFO. Was there so often, the bellmen would see me coming with a porter from the airport across the road, and would run out to help. Small woman, lots of large luggage= big tip. It was and probably still is an airport hotel. Clean, amazingly quiet and sooooo convenient. Made the trip 4 or 5 times a year.

[@tfft]

Underwhelming for an Andaz, but at the end of the day, it's a pretty nice airport hotel. Only problem is no one told Andaz's marketing team that it's indeed just an airport hotel lol.

[@JordCA]

I love your videos. This is the first one where I hear you, but somewhat disagree. I've stayed at this hotel a few times. First in 2017, shortly after it opened. 2018 and in 2019. The first time I stayed here, I was WOWED by how awesome it was (especially compared to other Delhi 5-star hotels). Newness had a lot to do with it I'm sure. It was super clean at least between 2017 - 2019. After the pandemic, like a lot of places, I'm sure contributed to many things mentioned in your video. The staff, service, and food were phenomenal back then. I had zero issues (a rarity in India). I love India, but you get use to certain ways at hotels. Not at the Andaz. As pitch-perfect as the Four Seasons in Mumbai. Back in 2018, the floorboards were an issue, but passable ;-) On one visit I stayed at the Le Meridien in Delhi and left my suitcases there while I headed out of town, to return a week later. I decided to return to the Andaz, and they sent a car to pick up my luggage, at no charge. Honestly, at least back then I could not say enough about them. I should mention, unlike now, I had no status with Hyatt, but had 2000 nights in hotels in general, so no newbie to the hotel scene. It was nice to see your review and reminisce about my stays at this Andaz, and the airport views were lovely. One reason I along with others pick this location over the CBD area. Easier to just endure traffic to/from Delhi, and then back to a more peaceful location close to the airport. No one-hour drive to DEL before a flight. The hotels in this area are popular for a reason. The Taj Santa Cruz in Mumbai has stunning airport views. The absolute best, where the bed faces the window and you just lay in bed and watch planes depart. Based upon your video, the rooms seem to be in great condition for a hotel of 8 years in India. I look forward to my return visit.

[@tfft]

Thanks for sharing- and yah, the Taj SC is on my list for my next 'airport' stay.

[@nikhilroy3393]

I'd have given it a 60/100. Apart from the food(which seemed good enough), the rest of the hotel looked very corporate and had nothing to do with local art and culture! It is perfect for a Hyatt Regency but never an Andaz

[@tfft]

Based on my original idea of what Andaz was meant to be, I would agree... but my Andaz experiences are getting more and more corporate in general so... perhaps my expectations were already a bit restrained on that front.

[@rohanvarshnei]

Aerocity hotels are used for MICE events and Weddings mostly - where the host or company picks up the tab. Leads to rough use of the rooms. After numerous stays, this particular hotel i feel in order to retain the brand 'quirkiness', misses getting the basics right!

Kevin, did you see the new 50 Best Hotels list? I love their 50 Best Bars and Restaurants lists, they're very well done and respected in our industries, but I'm an outsider when it comes to hotels... was wondering if you've been to any of the hotels on the list or have any plans to visit them? Cheers

[@tfft]

I think the Hotel list is a valient effort, but the list itself seems skewed in a very specific direction which I think comes down to the relatively small voting pool. They have 580 people from the industry voting to select 50 hotels world wide... that just seems like a very small pool to me. Plus, each of the 9 regional chairs that have been appointed to select the pool for their respective region all work for or recently have worked for major travel publications that publish the sponsored type of content that I went on about in this video. So, trying not to be an absolute cynic, I'd say it's probably as informed as a list could possibly get from what I can see, but- I just wish ALL of the voting panel wasn't selected by executives at publications that have direct financial ties with the hotels themselves. As for the list itself, yes I've been to a few on the list, the Four Seasons Bangkok and Capella Bangkok already being on the channel with a few more on the way. Thanks for the question!

Andaz hotel is located in aerocity, so any knowledgable traveller would know thats its an airport hotel and not a luxury hotel. Further nobody claimed aerocity is an actual city. Its a hospitality and commercial district located within Delhi Airport. Also, Gurgaon is not a district of Delhi, but of Haryana.

[@tfft]

Hmm, where to begin lol. Feels like you just wanted to write some stuff. 1. I literally said it's an airport hotel, that was the entire point of the video- countless publications are the ones that said it's a luxury hotel. 2. I never said someone claimed Aerocity was a city... except for the fact that it's named, Aero...city- and I went on to further define it exactly as you have. 3. The capital district I was referring to, the NCR, includes part of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan as defined by the National Capital Region Planning Board. I think you need a hug.

[@adirox7]

​​​​​​@@tfft 1. Ok. Agree that there are publications mentioning it as a luxury hotel. But then atleast a person like you should know that its not as you have visited many luxury hotels. 2. If you described it later exactly as what I said, then why create confusion in the first place. 3. You never mentioned NCR in your video. You clearly said capital district which is Delhi not NCR. 4. If according to you I just want to write some stuff, then maybe you just want to make a video. 5. No thank you, I dont need a hug Mr Nit picker.

[@elijohnson3803]

I think you are missing some background on how these "global" hotel chains operate in India. I know this from my ex who was a Thai chef in one of these branded "luxury" hotels. So all these franchises are operated thru shell companies of politicians who flush out (an in) funds which they can't explain. The franchise company contract expects a bare minimum standard. Hence you'd see a level of "luxury" but there will be stark difference from what you'd see from seasoned hotel operators like those you mentioned- Oberois, Taj group(they're going downhill as well) etc.

[@tfft]

Sounds like a disgruntled ex-chef to be honest lol. But either way, I'm not missing anything- I'm well aware of how the hotel industry works- but I don't think who/what/where/when/why/how a property is owned is relevant for a review in the vast majority of cases. I comment of my experience versus my expectations, not much more.

Tbh, it's one of the weakest hotels in Delhi, The Roseate is aging with room interiors falling apart, The Lodhi used to be the very first urban Aman before they gave it back to DLF and went downhill from there. Oberoi is definitely really nice, they went under a massive $100 million renovation, I'd say the best Delhi has to offer, Taj Mahal Delhi also went under renovation and the Taj Palace is still in the process.

Out of the 14 more you are converting, I really really hope you are covering Oberoi Udaivilas, would love to see your take on it. Also, there are now two six senses properties one in the hills Vana and the other one in Rajasthan. Other boutique local brands are Sujan, Postcard, Kahani Paradise, RAAS lesser known but unique. Super excited to have you here, looking forward to your honest opinion.

@@tfft Oh thanks for that, amazing picks. I think you had a not so good experience at Udaivilas, I didn't visit that property post the GM change, Mr. Amit was heading it earlier. I would be very disappointed if one of my fav creators was let down by them. Will stop bothering you now, Looking forward to the videos.

Honestly, jeans, flipflops and spoosebeaters (aka tank tops) are not suitable attire for 5 star hotel employees

Unless working at the pool, I'd agree lol.

Oh how I wish you didn’t listen to those reviews and went to the Oberoi, Taj, Leela or the Imperial Instead 😂 I wouldn’t even place this hotel as a top 10 in Delhi.

No one said this is the only hotel in Delhi I stayed in 😉 Thanks for watching 🩴

[@tijothomas-cw9ef]

@@tfftOh I know you stayed at the Leela also and possibly others 😜 Next time you’re in Delhi, try visiting Oberoi Gurgaon. Its a fantastic property.

[@Skeleton_100]

Delhi has a very good hotel selection but there are hotels far better than Andaz like IE; Taj Palace Delhi.

[@tfft]

Not debating that, and the Andaz wasn't the only hotel in Delhi that I stayed in. Thanks for watching 🩴
