Escape to Luxury: FabHotel A&V Hospitality's Delhi NCR Oasis! - A Seriously Honest Review (With a Touch of Chaos)
Okay, let's be real. Finding a decent hotel in the Delhi NCR area feels like navigating a ridiculously crowded Metro at rush hour. You're praying for a seat, expecting a shove, and hoping you don't get a weird smell you can't quite identify. But hold on, because FabHotel A&V Hospitality promised an "Oasis," and after my stay, I'm ready to spill the tea (and maybe some complimentary coffee…more on that later).
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, My Bumpy Start):
Finding the hotel was a mission, to be brutally honest. The Google Maps directions were… optimistic, let's say. (Imagine my GPS yelling "Keep going! You're almost there!" while I'm staring at a construction site). This is a huge accessibility point to consider, especially if you're relying on public transport or are less mobile. I eventually made it, though the exterior felt a bit… industrial? But the elevator was a lifesaver, thank goodness, and the lobby? Clean, modern, and thankfully, air-conditioned. They do have facilities for disabled guests, which is a huge win (though I didn't personally test them).
Now, about the check-in/out [express]: It was relatively quick. But the front desk [24-hour] staff? Bless their hearts. They were pleasant but seemed a tad… overwhelmed. Maybe it was the early hour. Maybe it was the look of relief on my face after the stressful journey. Anyway, after some waiting, I got my key and was off to my room.
Rooms: Clean, Comfy… and a Few Quirks:
My first thought stepping into the room? "Ahhh, air conditioning. Thank you, sweet baby Jesus." It was a welcome escape from the Delhi heat. I didn't spring for the couple's room, but based on my regular digs, I can imagine it'd be pretty sweet. The non-smoking rooms are very much appreciated, and the soundproof rooms were a godsend, given the general level of Delhi-NCR ambient noise.
The room itself? Cleanliness and safety are clearly a priority. They mentioned room sanitization between stays, which I appreciated in the current climate. The daily housekeeping was on point, and I really liked the attention to detail with the individually-wrapped food options (more on that later). I had a comfy desk, a decent internet access - wireless (Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms!), and a complimentary tea situation that saved my day more than once. The blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in. But the extra long bed? YES. It was a dream.
Okay, the imperfections: The bathroom phone (yes, really) was a bit… extra. And the mirror placement made getting ready a serious acrobatic challenge. But I'm nitpicking. The in-room safe box felt reassuring (though I’m sure nobody was going to steal my socks).
Food, Glorious Food (and Some Hiccups):
Let’s talk dining, shall we? The hotel boasts a restaurant with both Asian cuisine and Western cuisine. The breakfast [buffet] was… extensive. Seriously, you could get lost in there. The Asian breakfast offerings were delicious. And the coffee? Well, it was a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes fantastic, sometimes like dishwater. But hey, the coffee/tea in restaurant was available!
I tried the room service [24-hour] one night, and it was… acceptable. I needed a late-night snack and got some food, no complaints. I didn't test the breakfast in room because I preferred the buffet scene. The poolside bar promised much, but it was closed on my visit (minor bummer, but I wasn't there for the pool). Bottle of water was provided (as always when you enter an hotel) . The snack bar came in handy!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (and a Side of Steam):
Okay, here's where FabHotel A&V really shines. They have a swimming pool [outdoor] that, despite my bad luck getting caught in the rain, looked inviting. Also, a fitness center and gym/fitness are available.
And the Spa/sauna! Yes, I said it! The steamroom was glorious. I spent what felt like hours in there. Seriously, I think I could have emerged a new person. Absolutely divine. They also offer massage and various spa treatments.
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Covid-19 Factor:
FabHotel A&V takes cleanliness and safety seriously. They have anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and the staff is clearly trained in safety protocol. I noticed hand sanitizer everywhere, and the physical distancing of at least 1 meter was enforced. Good job.
The Nitty-Gritty: Services and Conveniences (and the Lack of Puppies):
They've got your basics covered: laundry, dry cleaning, concierge, the works. There’s luggage storage, safety deposit boxes, and a convenience store (useful). They do have a gift/souvenir shop (perfect for that last-minute present). The facilities for the business facilities are there too.
Getting Around:
Parking is free. They also offer airport transfer and taxi service. Important note: Pets are unavailable. (Sorry, Fido.)
The Verdict (Plus a Special Offer, Because You Deserve It):
Okay, so FabHotel A&V has its quirks. But overall? It delivers. It's clean, comfortable, and offers a decent range of amenities. And, if you're looking for a spa escape, the steam room alone is worth the price of admission.
Here's my honest assessment:
- Pros: Clean rooms, comfortable beds, great spa, good breakfast selection.
- Cons: Location a bit tricky, occasional service hiccups.
- Overall: Solid choice. Especially if you need a bit of R&R.

Ormoc's Hidden Gem: GV Hotel's Unbeatable Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, chaotic, and potentially disastrous world of my FabHotel A&V Hospitality escapade in New Delhi and NCR. This isn't your sanitized, Instagram-filtered travel log. This is the real deal.
Day 1: Delhi Belly - or the Promise of Butter Chicken Paradise?
Morning (Let's call it "Wake-up?"): Okay, so the flight was a red-eye, so my brain is currently operating at like, 30%. Arrived, sweating buckets (Delhi humidity, you magnificent beast!), and the hotel… well, it is a FabHotel. Let’s just say “budget chic” is a generous description. The air conditioning is chugging along like a geriatric engine, but hey, at least it exists. First impressions? Potentially promising. More likely, deeply uncertain.
Late Morning (Lost in Translation & Traffic Hell): Visions of fluffy naan and spicy curries fueled my resolve as I stumbled out to find a driver. The hotel staff were… let's say enthusiastically helpful, which, in India, often translates to "a polite barrage of questions and suggestions louder than a Bollywood dance number." Found a driver (after much haggling, naturally). He spoke enough English to get us mostly where we needed to go. The Delhi traffic? Forget it. It's a free-for-all symphony of horns, rickshaws, cows, and sheer, unadulterated chaos. My internal monologue was mostly: "Are we going to die? Is this a thrill ride or a death trap? Please, butter chicken, be worth it."
Afternoon (The Red Fort & Cultural Overload): Finally, arrived at the Red Fort. Bloody hell, the scale of it is IMPRESSIVE. It's… red. Massive. Crowded. Immediately felt overwhelmed. Took a million photos, got jostled, probably sweated off a few pounds. Saw some beautiful architecture, felt mildly enlightened, and wondered if I'd eaten something dodgy. Lunch? Street food. Regretting that decision already. Or maybe not. The samosas were so good that I didn't care.
Evening (The Great Indian Stomach Rumble & a Question of Safety): The afternoon ended, then so did my stomach. A slight queasiness. We went back to the hotel, and it was like my stomach was a drum kit and the drummer was really, really… into it. Decided to play it safe (or try to), and ordered room service: a bland, but comforting, helping of dal makhani and roti. Thought about just skipping this whole India trip altogether, but no. This is where the journey started, I have to endure it, for India is truly, truly special.
Night (Sleep? Maybe. Probably not.): Slept poorly. The A/C sputtered, the traffic roared, and my stomach continued its internal war. Dreamt of toilets and doctors. Also dreamt of butter chicken, the ultimate prize.
Day 2: Taj Mahal Daydreaming (and Questionable Decisions)
Early Morning (The Great Train Debacle): Okay, so this was supposed to be the highlight. A sunrise view of the Taj Mahal. The train journey to Agra was itself an experience. Packed like sardines with what seemed like the entire population of Delhi. Smells of incense, spices, and… well, other things. The train? Delayed. Of course. Welcome to India!
Late Morning (Taj Mahal! Holy Mother of Beauty!): Finally arrived in Agra and raced towards the Taj. And then… whoa. Just… wow. The sheer beauty of it is… overwhelming. It’s genuinely breathtaking. You can't help but be moved. Took about a million photos – mostly to prove I was actually there. Got completely lost in the moment. My phone died.
Afternoon (The Agra Fort and the Sinking Feeling): Tried to take in Agra Fort too, but the humidity was relentless. The heat was a little too much, and the fatigue set in. Got slightly grumpy. Ordered a lassi to cheer up and then got conned by a souvenir salesman who "just wanted to practice his English". Argh!
Evening (Another Stomach Battle & a Desperate Plea for Help): Back at the hotel in Delhi. The tummy woes have intensified. I'm starting to suspect a long-term relationship with the toilet. Made a SOS call to whoever cares about me and prepared everything - water, medicine, snacks. Also, there was a cockroach in the bathroom. Maybe.
Night (The Verdict? A Little Bit Broken, But Kinda Loving It?): Slept (or tried to) again. I'm exhausted, slightly ill, potentially emotionally unstable, and completely, utterly captivated by India. This trip is a mess. It’s chaotic, uncomfortable, and sometimes deeply frustrating. BUT… there’s a magic here. I can't stop talking about it. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, bad food decisions, and unparalleled beauty. And… I think I’m starting to love it. Maybe. Ask me again in the morning. And please send help. I need to order food again, some comforting and bland thing.
Escape to Luxury: FabHotel A&V Hospitality's Delhi NCR Oasis - FAQ (Because Let's Be Real, You Need Answers!)
Okay, spill it... Is this place *actually* luxurious, or just fancy words on a website? I've been burned before, people.
Alright, let's cut the BS. Luxur-ay is a strong word, and frankly, it depends what you're comparing it to. If you're expecting the Taj Mahal Suite? Nope. If you're expecting a clean, comfortable, well-appointed room with a comfy bed, decent Wi-Fi (important!), and a generally relaxing vibe... then yeah, it's *kinda* luxurious within its price bracket. I mean, the lobby is actually quite nice, and the staff, bless their hearts, *try*. Remember that time I stayed at a "luxury" hotel and the "free" breakfast was stale bread and watery coffee? Yeah, this ain't *that*. The breakfast wasn't earth-shattering, but functional. Think elevated budget hotel, not Buckingham Palace. Take that as you will... and maybe bring some extra coffee packets, just in case.
The location. Delhi NCR is HUGE. Where *exactly* am I going? And is it near anything remotely interesting?
Right, location, location, location! This is where things get a bit... Delhi-NCR-y. It's usually *somewhere* in the Delhi NCR area, depends on the FabHotel A&V Hospitality. So like, you're probably not going to be stumbling distance from Old Delhi's spice markets. You'll want to factor in traffic – because, oh boy, the traffic. Allow for an extra hour, then double it. Just kidding... *mostly*. But seriously, check the exact location on the website, then cross-reference with Google Maps and, crucially, *reviews*. People will spill the beans about how accessible it *actually* is. One time, booked a hotel near a "mall." Turns out the mall was practically deserted. Not exactly the retail therapy I was hoping for! So, do your homework. But hey, maybe it's meant to be a secluded getaway; no worries, just know that’s the setting.
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they actually clean? I'm not asking for a hospital sterile environment, but I don't want to share my bed with unwanted guests.
Cleanliness is a big one, right? And, okay, here's the truth: I've had experiences ranging from "spotless!" (yes!) to "hmm, maybe I should have brought my own Lysol wipes..." (also yes). It really does seem to vary. Generally, the linens are clean, the bathroom *should* be scrubbed. The key? Read recent reviews. Pay attention to comments about cleanliness. If you keep seeing "dusty," "stained," or "questionable," then maybe consider another option. I once stayed in a place where the entire room reeked of… well, let’s just say it wasn't potpourri. Ask for a different room if you’re not happy. Most decent hotels will try and accommodate, and hey, it’s your right!
Let's talk food. Breakfast included? And if so, is it edible? Please don't make me go hungry.
Breakfast. The most important meal, especially after a night of travel (and maybe a few too many Kingfishers). Often, yes, breakfast is included, but always *double-check* when booking! And the quality? Again, it's a mixed bag. Don't expect Michelin-star-level cuisine. Think a buffet with a few Indian staples, maybe some eggs (prepared in various states of... edibility?), bread, and fruit. It's usually enough to get you going. One time, I experienced the most incredible South Indian breakfast at a FabHotel. Crispy dosas, fluffy idlis… pure bliss! Another time, let's just say I made a quick dash for the nearest street food stall after the “breakfast”. My advice? Lower your standards, and be pleasantly surprised if it's better than you expect. Also, pack a banana.
Is the Wi-Fi any good? I need to be connected to the world... or at least, check my Instagram.
The Wi-Fi situation is a crucial one. And it's often a gamble, especially in this price range. Sometimes, it's blazing fast, and I can stream entire seasons of whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment. Other times? Well... let's just say I've stared at loading screens for so long that the hotel staff probably thought I was having a seizure. Read the reviews! Other guests will snitch if the Wi-Fi's dodgy. If you *absolutely* need to be online for work, consider getting a local SIM card with data, or be prepared to hot-spot from your phone. I once had to make a video call to my boss, and the Wi-Fi kept cutting out. Let's just say, my professional image took a hit that day. Bring a backup plan. Always.
What about the staff? Are they friendly and helpful? Or are they just going through the motions?
Ah, the staff. The unsung heroes (or villains) of the hotel experience. Generally, from my experience, the staff is usually friendly and tries to be helpful. The language barrier can sometimes be an issue, but they normally try their best. I've had staff go above and beyond to help me sort out a travel snafu, and I've also encountered some who seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. It’s a bit of a lottery, really. If you're polite and patient, usually, things go smoothly. A smile and a thank you go a long way. Just remember, they're probably working long hours for not much pay. Be nice! Be kind. And, for heaven's sake, leave a tip if you can! They deserve it. I once had a porter go above and beyond to help sort out a flat tire. That guy earned every buck of his tip.
Okay, I'm sold (maybe). But, like, what's the *vibe*? Will I feel comfortable as a solo traveler? Or is it more suited for couples/families/business trips?
The *vibe*... Ah, the crucial, intangible element that can make or break your stay. Honestly, it depends on the particular FabHotel, but generally, it's more of a practical, functional place. I wouldn't call it a party hotel. It's not the kind of place where you'd expect to find lively bars or vibrant social scenes (though, who knows?). It's more… quiet. Business-y. That’s not a bad thing! If you're looking for a chill place to relax, with easy access to the Delhi NCR, then it's more than suitable. I've stayed there solo, I've seen families, and couples. Don’t expect to make best friendsCoastal Inns
