Accessibility (Because, let's face it, we all want to know):
Right off the bat, HUGE props for the Accessibility. They have Facilities for disabled guests and an elevator, which is a godsend. I'm not physically disabled, but just the thought of hauling luggage up stairs after a transatlantic flight makes me want to weep. I noticed CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property, which, hello, security! It's comforting. (Though, frankly, I'd prefer less CCTV and more… room service with extra chocolate. Just saying.) I didn't need it, but it felt accessible, and that is a huge plus.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Didn't go scouting for these, but the staff I did see seemed pretty attentive, and I suspect they'd be helpful.
Internet Access (Because, Newsflash: We're all addicted):
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise the gods of connectivity! The Internet was reliable, and hey, the wi-fi in public areas was also okay – you know, for those times when you're shamelessly people-watching and gossiping on social media while waiting for your flight. No complaints about the Internet [LAN], either. I actually managed to finish that report I'd been putting off. (Don't judge.) The entire Internet services package gets a thumbs up. The only slight annoyance? Sometimes I had to re-login. First world problems, I guess.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Enter: My Personal Paradise):
Okay, this is where it gets interesting. This place is practically a mini-resort disguised as an airport hotel.
Spa/sauna & Spa: YES, PLEASE. Absolutely yes. I indulged in a Body scrub and a Massage, and, honestly, I think I levitated for a bit. The Sauna was… sauna-y. Hot, steamy, and a welcome escape from the fluorescent lights and the general airport chaos. They also boast a Pool with view. Didn't use it, but I did see it…and it looked divine.
Fitness Center: Didn't even glance at it. My idea of fitness at an airport involves dodging rolling luggage and the occasional sprinting to gate. So, can’t comment…
Foot bath: Ok, this sounds amazing, no-one is making an appointment. Next trip, must try.
My personal highlight? The steamroom. I'm telling you, after the stress of travel, that steamroom was like entering a warm, fluffy cloud. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I even forgot I was at an airport for a glorious, solid ten minutes.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, you know, we're in the world of Covid…):
They are clearly taking cleanliness seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact that the staff is trained in safety protocol – all huge wins. Room sanitization opt-out available (nice touch), and individually-wrapped food options. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. They have hand sanitizer everywhere. I especially appreciated the Safe dining setup.
The only slight issue? The constant feeling that you're in a highly sterilized operating room. Not a bad thing, per se, but it's a very different vibe than, say, a cozy boutique hotel. Also, a tad unnerving, tbh.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Fueling the Body, Calming the Nerves):
Okay, food. This is where things get a little… mixed.
- Restaurants and restaurants - Multiple. I mean, come on, we're at an airport. You'd expect options!
- 24-hour Room service - Glorious. I may have ordered breakfast at 11 pm. No regrets.
- Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant - Didn't try, but it smelled amazing.
- Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant - Very solid, if a little… predictable.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop - Needed, essential.
- Bar, Poolside bar, Happy hour - Yes to all. That cocktail was necessary.
- A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant - Again, choices. Good choices.
- Snack bar - Essentials!
- Desserts in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant - Solid, all of them.
The food overall was good, but not earth-shattering. However, the Room service [24-hour] saved my sanity, and the drinks at the bar were well-made. I'm a simple creature – give me decent food, a strong drink, and a comfortable bed, and I'm good.
Services and Conveniences (The Nitty-Gritty Details):
- Air conditioning in public area, Elevator - Necessary, life-saving.
- Butler service: – Didn’t see one, but maybe I missed him? Doubtful…
- Luggage storage, Concierge, Currency Exchange - Standard, helpful.
- Cash withdrawal: - Also, super essential.
- Daily housekeeping - Kept everything pristine.
- Laundry service, Ironing service, Dry cleaning - Convenient, although I did manage to spill coffee on my favorite white shirt. Cries.
- Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Seminars - Didn’t participate, but they seemed well-equipped, and I saw a seminar going on in what looked like a very fancy conference room.
- Gift/souvenir shop, Convenience store – Airport essentials!
- Doorman - Welcoming!
- Food delivery: – Not much to say about this.
For the Kids (And, Honestly, the Inner Child in All of Us):
I didn’t use these, but I noticed there were Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids facilities, so I’m assuming it’s all good.
Access & Security (Important, Always Important):
- CCTV in common areas & outside property, Security [24-hour] - Good, reassuring.
- Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, Smoke detector - Always a must.
- Front desk [24-hour] - Definitely appreciated, especially when my flight was delayed.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer, Taxi service - Perfect. The whole point of this place!
- Car park [free of charge] / Car park [on-site], Valet parking, Car power charging station, Bicycle parking – Not much to say about any of it, but good they are available.
Available in All Rooms (The Real Deal):
Let's get to the nitty-gritty. My Room:
- Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathrooms phone, Bathtub - Check, check, check. The bathtub was massive and seriously luxurious.
- Blackout curtains - BLESS THEM. Crucial for fighting jet lag.
- Closet - Adequate.
- Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea - Needed, essential to function.
- Daily housekeeping - Always a welcome thing.
- Desk, Extra long bed - Good for working (or, you know, watching endless movies). The extra long bed was a plus.
- Free bottled water - Hydration is key.
- Hair dryer, High floor – The view was decent, though, I'm not entirely sure it was “breathtaking”.
- **In-
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your glossy brochure travel plan. This is real life in Delhi and NCR, with all the spice, sweat, and existential dread that comes with it. We're talkin' Private Rooms with an International Airport View – imagine the planes taking off with your hopes and dreams, while you're simultaneously trying to remember if you packed enough snacks. (Spoiler alert: you never do.)
Delhi & NCR: A Chaotic Comedy of Errors (and Amazing Food)
Day 1: Arrival, Airport Amnesia, and the Sweetest Chai
- 6:00 AM: The dreaded alarm. Ugh. Gotta get to the airport. Praying to the travel gods that the Uber doesn't get lost in the Delhi smog before I even leave my building.
- 7:30 AM: Landed at the airport. It's stunning. The sheer scale is awe-inspiring, and I'm immediately lost. Seriously, does anyone inherently know which gate is theirs? It’s like a maze designed by a sadist.
- 8:00 AM: Found my gate! But I think I left my phone charger in the cab. Oh, brilliant. Just what I needed, a digital detox before I even get to my hotel room. (Secretly, I think I deserve it.)
- 8:30 AM: Flight delayed. Of course. This is the universe's way of saying, "Relax, enjoy the airport chaos." The air is thick with anticipation, duty-free perfumes, and the faint sounds of people yelling into their phones.
- 10:00 AM: Finally, landed! Immigration was a blur of stamps and weary smiles. Grabbed my luggage, feeling like Indiana Jones, ready to tackle the unknown.
- 10:30 AM: Found my assigned driver. The traffic outside the airport is already a symphony of horns and near-misses. It's like a Bollywood action movie, only in a Suzuki Alto.
- 11:30 AM: Check-in at the hotel. "International Airport View," they promised. It's… pretty good. I can see the runway! It’s a little bit mesmerizing, to be honest.
- 12:00 PM: Ordered room service. Chicken Tikka Masala, naturally. I'm using this as a benchmark for the rest of the trip. First bite? Heaven. That's the good part.
- 1:00 PM: Naptime. Jet lag is starting to rear its ugly head. Dreaming of naan bread. This is gonna be my life.
- 3:00 PM: Wandering around the area. Found a chai wallah (tea-seller) and had the most unexpectedly delicious cup of tea. Seriously, it was liquid gold. It's a reminder that the best experiences are often found in the simplest moments.
- 4:00 PM: Back at the hotel. That chai was perfect, yet… it wasn't enough. Found a small restaurant close to the hotel with the "best" Samosas. The first bite was just magic.
- 5:00 PM: Back in my room. That view does not get old.
- 7:00 PM: Staring at the menu through my phone. Is it late night? Because I'm ready to go!
Day 2: Old Delhi's Whirlwind, and a Near-Death Experience (Kidding… Mostly)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Tried to order something "local" to be adventurous. Ended up with toast and a lot of confusion. Maybe I’ll work on that.
- 9:00 AM: Ventured into Old Delhi. Prepare to be overwhelmed. The crowds, the smells, the sheer energy… it's a sensory overload. But in a good way, I think.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Explored the market. Chandni Chowk. The alleys are a maze, but the food stalls are a beacon of hope. Tried everything (almost).
- 12:30 PM: Lunch time. Paratha at the restaurant at the Market. This is the moment I had my first near death experiences.
- 2:00 PM: Back at the hotel. My shoes are covered in grime, my wallet is empty, and my brain is fried. Worth it.
- 2:30 PM: Nap. Recovery is key.
- 3:30 PM: Tried to order food. So many options. So little brainpower.
- 4:30 PM: Ate.
- 5:00 PM: Taking a walk. Exploring the neighborhood.
- 7:00 PM: The best part about the hotel? It's the view.
Day 3: A Day Trip to The Taj! (And Realizing I'm Totally Clueless)
- 6:00 AM: Seriously? Another alarm? Why did I think this was a good idea?
- 7:00 AM: Headed to a train station to start my adventure.
- 8:00 AM: Train to Agra: a long journey and I forgot to pack a book.
- 9:00 AM: Train. I'm gonna die of boredom.
- 10:00 AM: Train. I'm starving.
- 11:00 AM: Train. Ok, I need to get a snack
- 12:00 PM: Getting to Agra, and I'm speechless. The Taj Mahal is even more breathtaking in person.
- 1:00 PM: Exploring the grounds. Every angle is a photo opportunity. I spent the entire time wondering how they built something so perfect.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch in Agra. I'm so full.
- 3:00 PM: Back at the train station.
- 8:00 PM: I'm back on the hotel.
Day 4: Reflection, Relaxation, and a Final Flavour Explosion
- 9:00 AM: Slept in. My body is thanking me.
- 10:00 AM: Lazy breakfast in bed. Ordered a dosa and a coffee with milk. It was amazing.
- 11:00 AM: Look out the window. I'm starting to get used to the sounds. The airport is getting a little boring, but is still magic when I look out the window.
- 12:00 PM: Checked out. It's surprisingly easy.
- 1:00 PM: Packing. I'm going home.
- 2:00 PM: In the cab.
- 3:00 PM: At the airport. I'm glad to leave.
- 4:00 PM: Waiting for the flight.
- 5:00 PM: Boarding.
- 6:00 PM: I'm going home.
Imperfections & Ramblings:
- I lost count of how many times I got lost.
- My Hindi vocabulary consists of "namaste" and "chai." I need to learn more.
- The food I ate was so incredible, that I might need to come here all the time.
- I might need to come back.
Final Thoughts:
Delhi and NCR is not a pristine, perfectly curated tourist trap. It's messy, loud, exhilarating, and utterly unforgettable. It's a place that challenges you, overwhelms you, and leaves you wanting more (and maybe a strong drink). And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap and a mountain of snacks.
Escape to Paradise: Elotis Suites, Crete's Luxury Oasis
Okay, spill the tea! Are these "breathtaking views" actually *breathtaking*? Like, do I need smelling salts after looking out the window?
Look, let's be real. "Breathtaking views" is usually marketing fluff. But… yeah, in this case? They're pretty damn good. I'm not going to say I needed a medic after gazing out the window, but the sheer scale of the airport, the planes taking off like giant metal birds, the way the light catches the towers... It's impressive. My first thought? "Wow, I'm actually *inside* the airport looking *down* on the airport!" It's a perspective shift. The first time, I was so jetlagged I almost forgot to *actually breathe*. So maybe... *mildly* breathtaking? Let's go with that. Depends what you find breathtaking, I suppose. I mean, if your idea of breathtaking is the view from your cubicle, maybe stick to that.
Private rooms? Sounds fancy. Is it the kind of fancy where you're afraid to touch anything?
Alright, look. I'm a klutz. I spill things. I accidentally bump into furniture. So, naturally, I was expecting pristine, museum-like conditions. And frankly, the rooms are *nice*. Think modern, comfortable, not ostentatious. The kind of place where you *could* spill coffee on the cream-colored rug and not have a complete meltdown. (Though, I'd still probably try to sneakily clean it up...). But, no, it's not *too* fancy. It's a place to relax, not to be terrorized by the fear of breaking something ridiculously expensive. There's a practicality to the design. Thank god. My anxiety levels were already high because of the flight.
What's the bathroom situation like? Because, like, airport bathrooms are usually a horror show. Any oasis of sanity?
Oh. My. God. Airport bathrooms. The stuff of nightmares, right? This? This is a game changer. Actually, the bathroom was the most impressive part, if I'm honest! Sparkling clean, amazing water pressure (a MUST after a long flight!), and actual *good* lighting. I'm not kidding, I spent a good five minutes just enjoying the fact that I wasn't surrounded by questionable smells and overflowing bins. There's even a nice shower, though I didn't use it. (Jet lag, remember?). Honestly I feel like they gave me a tiny spa experience. Seriously, after the state of the economy, the prospect of a clean bathroom was the only thing that was keeping me alive.
Food and drink? Is it just sad sandwiches and lukewarm coffee? Tell me there's something better!
Okay, so this is where it gets a little… mixed. They offer a selection of food and drinks. It's not *sad* sandwiches, per se. It's more like… thoughtfully curated sandwiches. And the coffee? Decent! Actually, better than most airport offerings. But… here's the thing, and this is where I might get myself in trouble… I'm a picky eater. And the menu, while not bad, definitely wasn't catering heavily to my particular brand of neurotic food preferences. The service more than made up for it. The staff were absolute gems. The guys went out of their way to get me something I actually wanted though! (And I ordered something complicated. Sorry, guys!) It definitely wasn't just sad, but it wasn't a Michelin-starred experience, either.
Okay, I'm sold. But what about the price? Going broke for a layover doesn't sound ideal.
Price… well, let's be honest, it's not *cheap*. This isn't the place to hang out if you're on a backpacker's budget. You are paying for exclusivity, the convenience, and the, well, the *peace*. Think of it as an investment in your sanity. And after the flight I was on. Worth. Every. Penny. (Seriously. My mental health was teetering.) Would I do it every time? Probably not. But for a long layover, or if you're feeling particularly frazzled? It's a splurge. A worthwhile splurge. And maybe, just maybe, the memory of that bathroom will be enough to power me through the next five budget flights.
What if I have a terrible travel personality? Will I be judged?
Look, I'm a terrible traveler! I overpack. I get anxious about everything. I lose things constantly. I'm that person who panics when they can't find their passport, only to find it in their pocket. And the staff? They were AMAZING. They've seen it all, I'm sure. They were polite, helpful, and handled my minor (and major) meltdowns with grace. I'd like to think they're not judging. Probably they're thinking "Here's another one." And honestly, I'd rather hang out with the staff than, say, the screaming toddlers on the last flight. So, no, don't be intimidated. Just be yourself… the tired, anxious, possibly coffee-stained version of yourself. They've got you.
Is it easy to find? I'm terrible with directions.
I, too, am directionally challenged. I get lost in my own house. This? Surprisingly easy. Airport signage is usually a nightmare, but they have decent signage. Plus, if you're really lost, just ask! The people working are incredibly helpful and will point you in the right direction. It’s not like a hidden speakeasy. It's pretty much obvious. Trust me, if *I* can find it, you can find it. Just follow the signs… or, you know, ask someone. No shame in that game. I did it. Many times.
Okay, let's say something goes wrong. What's the 'worst case scenario'?
Well, I had a tiny mishap myself. I had a slight, and I mean SLIGHT, issue with the in-room Wi-Fi. Like, I'm talking a minor blip, a little buffering during a crucial cat video viewing session. The horror! Anyway, they fixed it immediately. Worst case? You don’t like a particular flavor of sandwich and have to pick something else. Or, maybe the view isn't quite as 'breathtaking' as you hoped (but it's still pretty good, I promise!). Honestly, the worst thing that could happen is that you actually *enjoy* your layover a little too much and almost miss your flight. And trust me, that’s not *that* bad, comparatively speaking.
