A word of warning on hotel taxes in Delhi
**********************************
I've read a lot of Delhi hotel reviews on various websites in my pursuit of a good deal and there's one gripe that comes up time and time again - taxes for 4 and 5 star hotels. This seems to be a particular problem in Delhi, caused by the local government changing the taxation system a couple of years ago. ... ...On our bill for the Imperial the 'luxury tax' accounted for an additional 27% on top of the room rate. This illustrates a) what a great rate I got compared to the rack rate and b) what a rip off the taxes are. Luckily I knew this in advance and was prepared for it but if you aren't expecting it, the tax can be a shocker and turns a good bargain into a bit of a let-down and can spoil an otherwise great experience.
Why did I want to go to the Imperial?
