Escape to Paradise: HOTEL BLEST PARK, New Delhi & NCR
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the (potentially slightly chaotic) world of Escape to Paradise: HOTEL BLEST PARK, New Delhi & NCR. This isn't your average, sterile hotel review. This is the raw, unfiltered, “did I have a good time?” kind of deep dive. And I’m going to be honest, I’m already judging myself for using so many categories, but hey, SEO, right? Ugh. Let's do this.
First Impressions: Am I in Paradise or a… Well, Let’s See (Accessibility, and the Shaky Start)
Alright, first things first: finding the freaking place. Delhi traffic, am I right? Anyway, let's address the elephant in the lobby: Accessibility. The website says it’s accessible, and that’s great. But, I'm not actually in a wheelchair, so I can't personally vouch for ramps and elevators. I did see an elevator (phew!), and the lobby seemed reasonably navigable. But seriously, hotels, a clear, detailed accessibility breakdown is essential these days. Don't just say "accessible" then make me hunt for the info.
Getting Connected (Internet Shenanigans)
Internet, oh internet. They boast Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and I’ll raise you a HUGE skeptical eyebrow. Honestly, in my experience, "free Wi-Fi" often translates to slow, spotty, and a constant battle with dropped connections. The Internet [LAN] is there too, but who uses that anymore? Old people, that's who. Anyway, the Wi-Fi in public areas, was pretty decent. Yay for that. So, yeah, thumbs up for some connectivity, but don’t expect to download a whole movie marathon in 5 minutes. (This is definitely an area the hotel could improve.)
Things To Do & Ways To… Unwind (Spa Day, Anyone?)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The Spa/sauna is a MUST. I mean, Body scrub, Body wrap, the whole shebang! I'm no spa expert but the menu looked enticing and the massage was legit. The Pool with a view? YES PLEASE. Though, I didn't actually get a room with a view of the pool, which was a letdown. Still, splashing around in the water was a welcome reprieve from Delhi’s (literal) heat. There’s also a Fitness center, Gym/fitness. I'm ashamed to say I skipped this, too. The steamroom? I might have been. Anyway, they had all of the regular stuff.
Cleanliness & Safety: Did I Survive? (Hopefully!)
This is a big deal, right? Especially post-pandemic. They list about 1000 measures which is good, I guess. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, and the whole shebang. The Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items made me feel…mostly safe, but I'm not holding my breath that they didn't miss a spot. I saw staff using hand sanitizer so that was good. They also have Rooms sanitized between stays and opt-out option.
Eating & Drinking: Feed Me! (And Maybe Some Booze)
Let’s talk food, because I live to eat. The Restaurants offer an Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and the Western cuisine in restaurant. The Breakfast [buffet] looked pretty good but I was too busy being lazy to get up and go. I did try the Coffee/tea in restaurant , and it wasn't terrible. Shout-out to the Poolside bar. Nothing like sipping a cold drink while watching the city glisten.
Services and Convenience: The Small Stuff (That Matters)
Okay, so Air conditioning in public areas? Essential. Concierge? Always a lifesaver. Dry cleaning and Laundry service? Huge plus. Also, they got a Car park [free of charge]. Facilities for disabled guests are noted (again, I couldn't personally verify.) And all the other bits and bobs you want: Luggage storage, Daily housekeeping, etc.
For the Kids (Bless Their Hearts)
I don't have kids, but they do have Babysitting service, Kids facilities, and Kids meal so, you know, points for inclusivity.
Rooms: My Temporary Kingdom
Okay, let's get specific, into the details - Air conditioning and Alarm clock? Check. Bathrobes? Nice touch. Blackout curtains? Thank god. I slept like a baby, thank you very much. Complimentary tea, Coffee/tea maker, and of course, Free bottled water. All the essentials needed to recharge in Delhi. Wi-Fi [free], again, some of it good, some not. I had a Separate shower/bathtub, which, let's be honest, is the sign of a good hotel. And, most importantly, a Window that opens. You can't always trust air conditioning.
The Overall Vibe: Is It Paradise? (Verdict: Mostly)
Look, HOTEL BLEST PARK isn't perfect. No hotel is. But it is a solid option. I had a good time, I felt reasonably safe, and the spa was awesome. The service was generally friendly, the food was decent, and the location was…well, it was in Delhi, which is an experience in itself!
The Imperfection: The Little Things
The one thing that bugged me? The music in the lobby. It was that elevator-music-meets-Bollywood-remix kind of thing that just…drove me crazy. (I know, picky, right?) But hey, perfection is boring.
Final Score (and a Compelling Offer!)
I'm giving HOTEL BLEST PARK a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's clean, comfortable, has some great amenities, and is a good base for exploring Delhi.

- HOTEL BLEST PARK: Where relaxation meets a little bit of Delhi chaos.
Okay, buckle up Buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously color-coded itinerary. This is a chaotic, real-life, probably-slightly-hungover-at-times account of my trip to HOTEL BLEST PARK in New Delhi and the surrounding NCR area. Prepare for imperfections, opinions, and a whole lotta "WTF was I thinking?" moments.
ITINERARY: DELHI DELIGHTS (AND DISASTERS)
Day 1: Arrival & Delhi Belly… or is it?
- Morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Okay, first impressions? HOT. Like, face-meltingly hot. Drag myself and my luggage (which, let's be honest, is probably overpacked with things I might need) through the airport. Find the pre-booked airport transfer, which thankfully, is actually there and not some elaborate scam. The driver, a tiny man with a giant mustache, greets me with a surprisingly perfect "Namaste." Already, India is winning.
- Arrive at Hotel Blest Park (10:00 AM): The hotel… it’s… clean. Okay, that’s a win. Check-in is surprisingly smooth. The lobby is blessedly air-conditioned. Immediately inhale a deep breath of cool air, a stark contrast to the outside heat. I'm feeling tired. I think I need a nap.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The Food Court Fiasco. I’m HUNGRY. Like, ravenous. Decide to be adventurous (mistake #1). Head to a local food court. Order something that looked delicious, and smelled delicious, but… well, my stomach is now staging a full-blown revolt. Is it Delhi Belly? Or just, you know, my delicate Western digestive system being a drama queen? I haven’t decided yet. This is where the real adventure begins…toilet adventure.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Attempt a walk around the local area. See lots of traffic, smell lots of smells (some good, some… not so good), and get stared at. Maybe it's my bright pink t-shirt. Maybe it's my general air of "lost tourist." I duck into a small shop and pick up a bottle of water and some biscuits. The shopkeeper, a kind-faced woman, smiles at me. She tells me “welcome, welcome" which is a nice change from the traffic.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Crawl back to the hotel. Attempt to eat a plain piece of toast. Fail. Pray.
Day 2: Red Ruins & Rampant Rickshaws (and a Really Bad Head Injury)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Red Fort Rendezvous. Despite my stomach's continuing protest, I'm determined to see some sights. Get a rickshaw. My driver is a maniac. We swerve in and out of traffic like we're auditioning for a Bollywood chase scene. The Red Fort is magnificent, though. Truly breathtaking. I wander through it, slightly bewildered, covered in a light film of sweat, and attempting to take pictures.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The Humayun's Tomb Humiliation. Somehow, I manage to get lost again. The map is useless! It's too hot to think straight. I find Humayun's Tomb, and it's gorgeous. The architecture and the general vibe make me feel almost peaceful. Then, a minor disaster strikes..I accidentally hit a low-hanging branch and BAM! Right in the head… A bloody gash The guards help me. The hotel doctor comes to help. They call me a taxi to go to the hospital. I tell the driver I would rather walk… I was told I needed stitches.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Back at the hotel. The doctor is here. Getting stitches… It's a blur after that. Lots of disinfectant and mumbled instructions.
Day 3: A Glimpse of the Divine (and More Food Shenanigans)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): A Visit to Akshardham Temple. Okay, I was told this was impressive, and wow. Majestic. The sheer scale of it is unreal. I am speechless for once. The carvings, the details…it's all so intricate and stunning. The security is intense (no phones allowed!), but it’s worth it. Feeling genuinely moved and humbled.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch, take two. Okay, lessons learned. No more street food (for now). Head back to a restaurant near the hotel. And order something relatively safe: Dal Makhani and plain rice. It’s delicious. Finally, a win! I am not disappointed, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this Indian food thing.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): A relaxing massage at the hotel spa. (I need it. Badly. For the head injury).
- Evening (9:00 PM): Dinner and Despair. This is the third time since my arrival I have thought I could eat like a human who hasn't been in a car accident. The food looks good, smells good! …It's not. My stomach is now officially trying to eject everything I've eaten in the last 72 hours. I think this is it, the moment I actually need medical attention.
Day 4: Local Market Meltdown & Goodbyes (And Goodbye to Dignity)
- Morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Shopping Spree (or, The Bargaining Battle). Visit a local market. It’s sensory overload: smells, sounds, and… people everywhere. I try to bargain for a scarf, and I'm terrible at it. The shopkeeper is clearly having a laugh, but I eventually get a decent deal. Then I accidentally get separated from my group. Panic sets in. I wander around, feeling lost and completely clueless. Finally, I find them, red-faced and flustered.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The Goodbye Lunch Disaster. My final meal in Delhi… I order something mild, the only thing my stomach will tolerate. It's still bad. I’m convinced I’ve contracted some rare, exotic strain of gastrointestinal distress.
- Evening (5:00 PM): Pack my bags. Reflect on my time in Delhi. It’s been an absolute rollercoaster. The highs were high (Red Fort, Akshardham Temple). The lows… well, let's just say my digestive system has seen better days.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Depart from Hotel Blest Park for the airport.
- Evening (9:00 PM - 11:00 PM): At the airport. Waiting for my flight. I'm exhausted. I'm slightly traumatized. But I also can't help but feel a weird sense of… fondness? Delhi, you were a beast, but you were my beast.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was messy. It was chaotic. It was a stomach-churning, head-bumping, culture-shocking adventure. Would I do it again? Absolutely. (Maybe with a better grasp of safe food choices, though).
And that, my friends, is my Delhi diary. Hopefully, it’s given you a more honest and perhaps slightly less-than-perfect glimpse into the joys and misadventures of travel. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find the nearest bathroom… just in case.
