Luxury Delhi NCR 1BHK: King-Size Bed, WiFi, & Unbeatable Views! - A Brutally Honest Review
Alright, buckle up buttercups. Because this isn't your average, perfectly polished hotel review. This is the unvarnished truth, sprinkled with a healthy dose of my own neuroses. I just wrapped up a stay at this place, the "Luxury Delhi NCR 1BHK," and let's just say… it was an experience. Expect a rambling, unfiltered, rollercoaster ride of emotions. Let's dive in, shall we?
(Metadata - because, you know, SEO is important. Even if I'm a total write-off.)

The Good, the Bad, and the Utterly Bizarre (and also, WiFi!)
First things first: WiFi. (Can't believe I'm starting here, but it's 2024. It matters.) And yes, yes, YES! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Thank god. And the "Internet access – wireless" and "Internet access - LAN" options are, apparently, also there. Look, I just connected to the WiFi and didn't mess around. Connected like a champ. The speed wasn't exactly warp speed, mind you, but it worked! I also needed to work.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag?
Alright, let's get serious, or try to. Under Accessibility: well, I am not disabled, so this is not my strength.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Joy of the Buffet…and the Mystery Soup
This is where things got…interesting. The "Breakfast [buffet]" was, by far, the star player. A spread of the usual suspects, but with a surprisingly delicious "Asian" breakfast station. (I went back for seconds, and thirds.) There was also a "Western breakfast," but who wants that in India anyway? I was actually able to try “A la carte in restaurant” service, although it was a bit slow. But the real highlight of my dining experience was the "Soup in restaurant." It was the most mysterious soup. I couldn't quite identify it, even after several attempts (and a few raised eyebrows from the waiter). It might have been a lentil-based soup, but there was something else in there. Something…earthy. Really earthy. I'm still not sure if it was delicious or a culinary experiment gone wrong. I ate it all. I always eat it all. Also, there was a "Bar," but I didn't touch it. (Self-discipline is a thing, sometimes.)
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, the soup. It was an adventure. A tasty, slightly confusing, vegetable-filled adventure. I liked it, I think…mostly.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams & Poolside Fantasies…Sort Of
Okay, so the "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was…a little crowded. But the "Pool with view?" Absolutely. The view was stunning! I ended up spending a good afternoon just floating in the water, ignoring the other guests, and basking in the sunshine. I'm not sure the pool defined luxury, but it was fine. The "Spa" was available, but I never made it in.
- Emotional Reaction: Seriously, I need a spa day. Always. The Room: The King-Size and the Quirks!
The "King-Size Bed" was indeed king-sized. It was a huge mattress. Incredibly comfortable, honestly. I wanted to have a "Breakfast in room," but it was impossible as the room service was too slow. There was a "Coffee/tea maker" which was fantastic. “Air conditioning” worked. I needed it, in Delhi. The "Bathroom" was clean. I liked the toiletries. The "Shower" did its job. The "Soundproofing" was passable, but I did hear some noise from the hallway, which slightly ticked me off.
- Emotional Reaction: I felt a little bit lonely in the room, and a little bit at peace.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitization & My Own Sanity
This place thinks about safety seriously. There was "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Individually-wrapped food options," "Professional-grade sanitizing services," "Room sanitization opt-out available," and a whole bunch of other scary sounding, but reassuring, things. They had "Hand sanitizer" everywhere. I kind of felt like I was existing in a bubble of Purell, which, honestly, wasn't a bad thing. “Safe dining setup” with “Sanitized kitchen and tableware items.” I didn't feel nervous about eating. I liked it.
- Emotional Reaction: Well, I survived!
Services and Conveniences: The Usual Suspects & A Few Surprises
"Concierge: Helpful, but a bit slow. There were "Facilities for disabled guests," "Laundry service," "Luggage storage," "Safety deposit boxes," and all the standard things you'd expect. The real highlight was the "Convenience store." I mean, who doesn't love a late-night snack run? The "Dry cleaning" was a lifesaver.
- Emotional Reaction: I was grateful for the convenience store and needed snacks!
Getting Around: Taxi Trouble & Free Parking!
"Car park [free of charge]. Jackpot! The "Taxi service" was available, but I decided to use a ride-sharing app.
- Emotional Reaction: Free parking! Hallelujah! And the taxi app gave me a good laugh..
In-Room Amenities: What you need
Under Available in all rooms, I had “Air conditioning,” “Bathroom,” “Coffee/tea maker,” "Desk," "Hair dryer," "Internet access – wireless," "Mini bar," "Private bathroom," "Refrigerator," "Safety/security feature," "Satellite/cable channels," "Shower," "Toiletries," "Towels," "Wake-up service," "Wi-Fi [free]," "Window that opens." which was great! I wanted some tea. The AC was cold.
- Emotional Reaction: Very good.
For the Kids: I Saw a Baby, Once
I actually didn't notice much here, but there was an option for "Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," and "Kids meal." I did see one small person wearing a tiny superhero cape in the lobby.
- Emotional Reaction: The cape! Yes!
Final Thoughts (and Maybe a Recommendation?)
Look, this wasn't perfect. It wasn't the most flawless hotel experience of my life, as I write from the hotel. But it was…good. It has potential. It was definitely clean, safe, and provided all the basic necessities, with some nice extras, like the "Unbeatable views." And the king-size bed? Worth it. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? If you're looking for a solid, comfortable stay with a good breakfast and a great view, then yeah. But, just, be warned about the soup. Just…be prepared.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a Delhi adventure that's less "polished travel blog" and more "slightly chaotic diary of a sleep-deprived tourist." My base camp? A swanky-sounding "Modern 1Bhk Private Apartment w/WiFi & Kingsize Bed" in New Delhi & NCR (dunno what NCR really means, but it sounds important), so let's dive in! Day 1: Arrival, Delhi Belly Blues, and Finding the Damn Wifi Password
- 7:00 AM (ish): Landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport. "International." Sounds fancy. Immediately hit with a wall of heat and the distinct aroma of car exhaust mixed with something vaguely curry-ish. Love it already. Or maybe that's just the jet lag talking.
- 8:30 AM: The Taxi Tango. Negotiating a taxi from the airport feels like a contact sport. Everyone wants your money, everyone has a sob story (mostly about needing to feed their family, which, fair), and everyone is honking. Finally, I settled on a guy whose eyes twinkled like he genuinely enjoyed the chaos. (Probably a con, but I'll take the gamble).
- 9:30 AM: Apartment Arrival & Initial Panic. Found the apartment! It's… well, it's clean-ish. The "Kingsize Bed" is glorious, and the WiFi… ah, the WiFi. Spent a solid hour (and three increasingly panicked texts to the host) trying to find the password. Eventually, it was hidden behind a potted plant. Victorious!
- 11:00 AM: The "Welcome to Delhi" Meal. Ordered breakfast from a place that promised "Authentic Indian Cuisine." Mistake number one. Within an hour, my stomach was doing the Macarena. Currently clutching it, praying to whatever deity is in charge of non-explosive bowel movements. Delhi Belly is REAL, folks. Pack your Pepto-Bismol. And maybe a change of pants.
- 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Attempting Sightseeing (Failed.) Tried to be a responsible tourist. Venture to Humayun's Tomb was high on the list, got a car, but the Delhi traffic is a beast. Spent two hours stuck in gridlock. Decided to cut my losses and head back to base. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after. Or never. I am not a traffic person.
- 6:00 PM: Panic-Eating: Because I'm bored, and mostly still hungry, I hit every single snack in my apartment.
- 8:00 PM: Netflix & Chill (Alone, But Still Chill.) Successfully streamed a ridiculous Bollywood movie. Even though I understood maybe 10% of what was going on, I was thoroughly entertained.
Day 2: The Food Tour From Hell (And Also Heaven)
9:00 AM: Recovery Breakfast (Ginger Tea, the Savior). The Delhi Belly is still rumbling, but the ginger tea seems to be doing something. Hope. I have hope.
10:00 AM: The Rickshaw Ride of Doom (and Delight!). Decided to brave the rickshaw and head to Old Delhi for a food tour. The rickshaw ride itself was an experience. Horns blaring, weaving through seemingly impossible gaps in traffic. My knuckles were permanently white from gripping the seat. Terrifying, exhilarating, and absolutely unforgettable.
11:00 AM - 3:00 PM: The Food Tour… Oh. My. God. This is the moment that really defines my trip. Started with parathas (stuffed flatbreads) that were greasy but amazing. Then came the chaat (savory snacks) – some delicious, some… a bit questionable. Then there was the biryani (spiced rice with meat) – I could eat it every day of my life. And finally, the sweets – a sugar coma followed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Did I mention I didn't finish? I don't think I finished.
3:30 PM: Post-Food Coma. Needed a nap. A long one.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Shopping. I visited the biggest markets and some smaller ones. This was a true experience and I loved it, buying every single thing under the sun.
7:00 PM: Dinner (Light, Please!). Found a vegetarian restaurant near the apartment for a light(ish) dinner.
9:00 PM: Contemplating Second Delhi Belly, Part 2. Was the food tour worth the potential repercussions? Absolutely. Would I eat it all again? Instantly. Am I regretting it? Probably.
Day 3: Culture, Confusion, and a Quest for Clean Drinking Water
- 8:00 AM: Finally a decent breakfast. I made a small breakfast with all the snacks I have stashed.
- 10:00 AM: India Gate. It's… big. And a testament to the country's history. I wandered around, feeling a weird mix of awe and sadness. The crowds were intense, the sun was brutal, but the sheer scale of everything was impressive. Took some photos, mostly to prove I was actually there.
- 11:30 AM: The Temple Incident (Or, How I Almost Committed a Cultural Faux Pas). Visited a stunning temple. Was so consumed by the beauty that I almost walked past a clearly marked "Shoes Off" zone. Mortified, took off my shoes, and vowed to read more travel guides.
- 1:00 PM: Finding Clean Drinking Water. The biggest challenge. I have a bottle and the tap water is a no-go. I found a shop, bought a bunch, and started to stock up my fridge.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch. Some delivery place, I can't even remember the name.
- 4:00 PM: Resting. I am still adjusting to the heat.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. I went to a restaurant and ordered something fancy.
- 7:00 PM: Planning Departure and Contemplating Life Choices. I am going to leave soon and I am not ready yet.
Day 4: Departure & Final Thoughts…
- 7:00 AM: Last Breakfast. I have already eaten like a local, so I went for the western breakfast.
- 8:00 AM: Packing & Final Packing. Is this what I need, really?
- 9:00 AM: Checking Out. Said goodbye to my "Modern 1Bhk…" – a place that, despite its minor imperfections, had become my temporary home.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to Airport: Deja Vu. More airport traffic, more honking, more last-minute souvenir purchases. The smells of Delhi cling to clothes… will I ever wash them away?
- 1:00 PM: Departure. Goodbye, Delhi. You’ve been a rollercoaster of chaos, beauty, and questionable tummy troubles. I loved (and hated) every minute. Will I be back? Absolutely. (After a long break, and possibly a course in appropriate food consumption).
And there you have it. My messy, imperfect, and brutally honest Delhi adventure. It wasn't always pretty, but it was definitely real. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some antacids. And maybe a therapist. But mostly antacids.
Escape to Paradise: Green Touch Dooars Eco Resort Awaits!
Okay, spill. What *actually* makes this "luxury"? I'm seeing the word everywhere.
Alright, let's get real. "Luxury" in Delhi NCR can be a minefield. Here's the deal with *this* particular fantasy:
- Size Matters (Yeah, I said it): A genuine 1BHK is usually not so tiny you can touch all four walls from the bed. We're talking reasonable space – enough to do more than just exist.
- King-Size Bed: This is non-negotiable. Trust me, after those cramped Delhi experiences, you NEED to sprawl. I once squeezed into a double bed with my two cousins and it felt like a survival mission. Not luxury.
- Wi-Fi That Actually Works: Remember those days of dial-up in the 90s? Yeah, we're aiming for a significant upgrade. No more buffering while trying to binge-watch something after a long day, *thank the heavens*.
- Views, Baby, Views: This is the game-changer. Views mean either a decent view of the cityscape with some greenery, or a completely unobstructed view where you can feel a sense of expansion.
- Finishes, Finishes, Finishes: Think good quality materials. Not just painted walls, but thought-out design. Even the choice of tiles matters.
- Service, Please, Service! The little things make a difference like a dedicated cleaning service to save your energy.
Is this place actually in a good location? Let's be honest.
Depends on your definition of "good." I'm biased, but I prefer the *almost* central locations. You want a place that's not a whole day's travel to get anywhere. (I once spent three hours in traffic to get to a cafe, you know. Lost my entire lunch).
We are talking about connectivity of course! What you do NOT want are the locations that suddenly disappear and just exist where you’ve been left wondering if you’ve entered a parallel universe, or perhaps landed in a different state entirely.
Ultimately, this depends on your requirements: proximity to work, ease of access to the metro or airport, and access to the essentials like grocery stores. Think about your daily routines and plan accordingly. If you do happen to be near the metro, definitely a plus, because traffic during peak hours is a nightmare!
Okay, you mentioned Wi-Fi. What's the *actual* speed like? I need to stream, people!
Don't you just hate slow internet? It's like asking you to type in one-fingered typing on a 1990s desktop computer. We're not living in that era anymore!
We are talking about a reliable internet connection with good speeds, so you can actually use your streaming services, attend video calls, and work from home without wanting to throw your laptop out the window. Specifically, you should be getting speeds of at least 50 Mbps.
Important reality check: Even good Wi-Fi can be affected by things. Heavy usage, the number of devices connected, and even the weather can impact the speed. Be ready to troubleshoot, or at least know who to call. (And yes, make sure the provider is reputable before committing.)
The views. Let's talk about the views. Are they *really* worth the hype?
YES. Absolutely, undeniably, the views can be a HUGE deal! Imagine starting your day with a panorama of the city, or watching the sunset paint the sky with vibrant colors. It is like a mood booster!
It's not just the view, it's the feeling. It is having a moment of escape from the bustle of everyday life. It's a quiet space, that you can have by yourself, a secret moment to reflect. The views should be a feature and a part of your space, that you can enjoy without going anywhere.
Real talk: Sometimes views are limited. But, you want to make sure that whatever you're getting does give you something to enjoy. Even a simple balcony can make a difference.
What about the noise? Is it really *luxury* if you're constantly listening to traffic?
This is Delhi NCR, remember? Silence is a pipe dream. You're going to hear *something*. Luxury, in this context, means mitigating the noise as much as possible.
If the building is built reasonably, you may not hear the traffic. Double-pane windows are critical. They can make a HUGE difference. A well-constructed building *should* minimize noise, but don't bank on complete silence.
Pro-Tip: Consider the surroundings. Is your building right beside a loud road or railway track? Do some recon, or make a visit around the time things sound loudest.
How much am I actually going to pay? Be honest.
Alright, let's get to the hard facts. "Luxury" in these contexts is never going to be cheap. The price can fluctuate a lot based on the size of the apartment, its location, and the specific amenities offered.
Generally, you're looking at a monthly rent in the range of at least ₹25,000 to even ₹50,000 or higher (or even significantly higher, depending on the area, the builder, and the special features).
Hidden Costs: Factor in things like maintenance charges, and potential security deposits. Make sure you are aware of all the costs!
Should I buy or rent?
Oh, the eternal question! Renting allows flexibility for a starting point. If you are still trying to figure out your long term plans, it gives you the freedom to move, which is important.
Conversely, buying gives you something to own, and of course, some equity. However, buying in a city like Delhi NCR can come with a whole host of issues, from legal complications to building quality concerns. You'll also have to think about capital, and the tax which does come with ownership
My Opinion: Honestly? Unless you are absolutely settled and certain about your long-term placement, I'd recommend renting. The market is volatile and buying comes with a whole lot of headaches!
What kind of security does the building have? Safety is important to meHarry's Home Steyr: Austria's Best-Kept Secret (Unbelievable!)
