Anjali Classic: India's BEST Hotel? (You Won't Believe This! - or Maybe You Will, I Don't Know Anymore!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just emerged, blinking and slightly bewildered, from the Anjali Classic. Now, the burning question, the one that’s been seared into my retinas, is it really India’s best? Honestly? That depends on what you want out of a hotel. Let's just say, it's a wild ride.

My Arrival - The Accessibility Angle (and the Initial Wonder):
First impressions? Well, the lobby is… impressive. Gleaming marble, hushed whispers, and that distinct "hotel scent" that promises luxuriousness. But the real test, for yours truly, is accessibility. I’m incredibly relieved to report, they've actually made an effort. Wheelchair accessible ramps and lifts were everywhere. The elevator was spacious and reliable (a huge win, trust me). They even had facilities for disabled guests. Now, I didn't personally need them, but seeing that commitment from the get-go made me breathe a sigh of relief. The check-in process was quick and smooth – Contactless check-in/out is a godsend, especially after a long flight. Kudos to the person who designed those automatic sliding doors – pure poetry in the face of weary travelers and luggage.
A Little Hiccup (Because Perfection Doesn't Exist):
Now, about that initial euphoria… it did stumble a little. They talk about "accessible rooms," and while I applaud the intent, some of the doorways felt a smidge narrower than they should have been. Not a deal-breaker, but worth noting for anyone with a seriously wide wheelchair. Minor gripe, though.
The Room – Where Luxury Meets… Functionality? (Or Did You Say "Functional"?!):
Okay, let's break down the rooms. My room was described as "prestige," and it did have prestige-y things. Air conditioning that actually worked (a HUGE, huge win in the Indian heat!). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (more later, sigh). A desk I could actually work at, a laptop workspace (thank you, sweet heavens!) and, this is important, a window that opens! Fresh air, people, fresh air! They provided a coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea and free bottled water, and I would've given them a medal for that alone. The bed? Extra-long. I felt like a king.
However… let's talk about the bathrooms. Private, yes. Separate shower/bathtub, definitely. But my shower pressure was – mmm, how do I put this delicately? – reminiscent of a particularly polite drizzle. And the mirror lighting… not ideal for detailed makeup application. Minor nitpicks, I admit.
The Wi-Fi Saga: Free? Yes. Reliable?… Mmm, No.
Now, back to that Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Great. Wonderful. Except… let's just say it was a bit of a chameleon. One minute, blazing fast, the next, gone. Vanished. Like a magician with a particularly annoying sense of humor. I battled it. I pleaded with it. I even considered sacrificing a local delicacy to appease the internet gods. Still, it was hit or miss. The Internet access – LAN option was a bust for me. Internet services in general were spotty. The Wi-Fi in public areas was slightly better because I could complain to someone. I guess they could have a better one. Just… don't go expecting seamless connectivity for your Zoom calls.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - A Culinary Adventure (Mostly a Good One):
Food, glorious food! This is where the Anjali Classic really shines. The restaurants offered a glorious array, and yes, there were restaurants everywhere. There was Asian cuisine, international cuisines, Western cuisine, a vegetarian restaurant (a MUST in India, IMO), and room service [24-hour]. The restaurants offered many Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options. A la carte in restaurant, buffet in restaurant, salad in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, desserts in restaurant, soup in restaurant.
The breakfast [buffet] was an absolute beast. A dizzying array of options – fresh fruit, pastries, pancakes, dosas, the works. And that coffee? Divine! Seriously, the breakfast service was a highlight. They even had an alternative meal arrangement (which I didn’t need, but nice to know they cater to different dietary requirements).
The poolside bar was fantastic for relaxing. Happy hour deals were a nice bonus. Also a snack bar provided for the less hungry people.
Spa Day - Bliss or… Almost Bliss?
Okay, the spa. Here’s where things get… close to perfect. The spa was a sanctuary. A proper, legit, can-melt-your-stress-into-a-puddle-of-happiness spa. I indulged in a massage – the therapist was a miracle worker. They offered Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Sauna, Steamroom, and a glorious spa/sauna. The pool with view was beautiful.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Beyond the Spa):
If you can drag yourself away from the spa, the Anjali Classic has a few other tricks up its sleeve. Swimming pool [outdoor]. The Fitness center was well-equipped. The Gym/fitness area was decent to the standards of the hotel.
Cleanliness and Safety – A Sigh of Relief (and a Few Questions):
In the post-pandemic world, cleanliness and safety are paramount. I was pleased to see the hotel taking it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol. They had hand sanitizer stations everywhere. I felt comfortable.
However… I will say, I didn’t see any sterilizing equipment myself, and I would've liked to know exactly what was meant by "Professional-grade sanitizing services" . But overall, I felt safe.
The Little Things (That Matter):
- Daily housekeeping? On point. My room was always spotless.
- Concierge service? Helpful and knowledgeable.
- Elevator? Yes, and reliable!
- Meeting/banquet facilities? They cater to those, too, with audio-visual equipment for special events, meeting stationery, and projector/LED display.
- Things like cash withdrawal, currency exchange, cashless payment service added extra points.
- Security [24-hour] and CCTV in common areas.
The Downside (The Things That Need Improvement):
- The Wi-Fi (I'm bringing it up AGAIN!). Please, Anjali Classic, please fix the Wi-Fi!
- It would be better if they have pets allowed.
- The shower pressure (still hoping for a drizzle-reduction strategy).
The Verdict: Is Anjali Classic India's Best Hotel?
Here’s the honest truth: No hotel is perfect. But the Anjali Classic, despite a few hiccups, is pretty darn good. It excels in a lot of areas. The staff is genuinely helpful. The food is amazing. The spa is heavenly. The accessibility is commendable.
Is it the best? Well, in terms of what it offers, and the effort they put in, I'd lean towards yes. Highly recommended. Go, indulge, and tell me what you think. And bring your own Wi-Fi router, just in case.

Okay, so here's the deal. I've been tasked, nay, volunteered to document my stay at the Hotel Anjali Classic International in [City Redacted], India. Sounds glamorous, right? Well, strap in, because this is less "glamorous travel blogger" and more "sleep-deprived human flailing about with a camera."
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Chapati Incident
- 6:00 AM (ish): Arrive at [Airport Code Redacted]. Jet lag? Oh, honey, jet lag is my MIDDLE NAME. My stomach rumbles like a Bollywood star's entrance scene. Seriously, the airport was a symphony of horns, hawkers, and the general organized chaos that only India does so well. Honestly, I felt like a fish out of water.
- 7:30 AM: Taxi ride to Hotel Anjali. The traffic? Let's just say I aged a decade in those 45 minutes. Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, cows (yes, COWS!), and the occasional rogue auto-rickshaw – all vying for the same precious space. The driver, bless his cotton socks, navigated this madness with the zen-like calm of a seasoned yogi. I, on the other hand, gripped the door handle for dear life and mumbled prayers under my breath.
- 8:15 AM: Check-in. The lobby is gorgeous, all marble and gold. Smells faintly of jasmine and something else…something utterly delicious, like a spice market exploded in the best possible way. The staff are incredibly polite, bordering on ridiculously helpful. Honestly, I felt like I was being pampered.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Attempt to unpack. Fail miserably. My suitcase is a bomb site. Just…a disaster. I find a crumpled t-shirt and give up.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast! OMNY. I ordered everything. Aloo paratha (heaven!), idli sambar (glorious!), and a chapati. And that, my friends, is where the incident began. I, in my haste and jetlagged stupor, managed to drop said chapati, directly onto the floor. The waiter, bless his heart, just smiled, scooped it up, and… cleaned the table. He seemed unphased! I have to admit, I was incredibly embarrassed, but also intrigued by the casualness of it all. It was a lesson in letting go, I think, although it tasted like a lesson in floor germs.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Attempt to nap. Fail spectacularly. Too much coffee, too much ambient noise (seriously, the city never sleeps!), and the vague feeling that I'm forgetting something vital.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: wander around the hotel's neighborhood to get my bearings (and something to eat).
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: explore the hotel pool area.
- 4:00 PM: more exploration of the street outside the hotel.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel's restaurant and bed.
- 8:00 PM: passed out from exhaustion.
Day 2: Sights, Smells, and a Spicy Revelation
- 7:00 AM: Wake up to the glorious smell of… something. I think it's cardamom? Whatever it is, it's working. I ordered masala chai for breakfast; it was life-giving. Seriously, I could drink that stuff all day.
- 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM: City Tour. The tour guide, a delightfully eccentric man named Mr. Sharma, regales us with tales of dynasties and deities. We visited the [Name of Building] and [Name of Temple], and I was blown away. The sheer scale of things here is mind-boggling. The colors! The details! The sheer energy of it all! I felt like my senses were on overdrive, and i loved it.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch! And this is where things got interesting. We ate at a small, unassuming restaurant. I, being the adventurous type (or, more accurately, possessed by a death wish regarding my stomach), ordered some sort of curry. And oh. My. God. It was the spiciest thing I've ever eaten in my life. Tears streamed down my face, my nose ran like a faucet, and I was convinced my tongue was on fire. The other people in the group looked me with a kind of morbid curiosity. After water and some rice, the agony subsided. It was still great though.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More exploring of places.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant and bed.
- 8:00 PM: still trying to catch up on sleep, I have to be honest.
Day 3: The Hotel and Emotional Crises
- 9:00 AM: breakfast
- 10:00 AM: hotel explore. The hotel architecture is phenomenal.
- 12:00 PM: gym
- 5:00 PM: Dinner,
- 7:00 PM: trying to sleep, and wondering what this trip is about.
- 8:00 PM: bed
Day 4: Departure
- 7:00 AM: Last breakfast. Sigh. I'm going to miss the chai, the heat, and the general sensory overload.
- 8:00 AM: Pack (this time, with a little more success).
- 9:00 AM: Check out. The staff are as lovely as ever, wishing me safe travels.
- 10:00 AM: Depart for the airport.
Final Thoughts:
The Hotel Anjali? It's a good hotel. But, more than that, India has been a whole experience. It's messy. It's chaotic. It's overwhelming. But it's also beautiful, vibrant, and life-affirming. I'm leaving with a suitcase full of memories (and maybe a slightly burnt tongue). And you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything.
