OMG! Delhi's HOTTEST Hotel Rooms – O Star Luxury Awaits! – A Review That's Actually Real (and a Little Crazy)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a stay at OMG! Delhi's HOTTEST Hotel Rooms – O Star Luxury Awaits! and let me tell you, luxury is definitely the word. But, and this is a BIG but (pun intended, because… well, you'll soon see), it's complicated. This isn't your average, sterile hotel review. This is the real deal, folks. The good, the bad, the slightly awkward moments, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of a perfectly-made bed.
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Elevator Tango
Okay, so let’s start with the basics. Finding the place was a breeze, thanks to Google Maps, but navigating inside? That's where things got… interesting. Accessibility is a big deal for me, because my aunt uses a wheelchair and loves to travel. And, the website for OMG! boasted about facilities for disabled guests. Fantastic! The elevator situation, however… well, let's just say it had character. Sometimes responsive, sometimes mysteriously out of order (which caused a minor heart attack when Auntie needed to use the restroom!), it's clearly a work in progress. I'd call ahead to confirm elevator functionality if accessibility is a primary concern.
Thankfully, the ground floor had some redeeming qualities. Wheelchair accessible entrances were present. The lobby, bustling with activity, provided a good first impression.
Rooms: Holy Moly, Mini-Bar Mania!
The room itself? O. M. G. Seriously. My jaw dropped. The pictures don't do it justice. I snagged a room with a view, and it was breathtaking. The city sprawled out below, sparkling at night. Blackout curtains? YES. Essential for this weary traveler who craves sleep.
And the details! Air conditioning that actually worked (a Delhi miracle!), a desk that beckoned me to work (which I promptly ignored), and a seating area perfect for nursing a well-deserved cocktail. Okay, two cocktails. And then, my eyes landed on the mini-bar. Oh, the mini-bar! A treasure trove of delights, including (and this is where I went slightly feral) TWO bottles of free bottled water! and even some tasty snacks.
Now, the Internet access situation isn't perfect. They offer Internet access – wireless and Internet [LAN]. The Wi-Fi [free] was generally strong, but I experienced a few moments of buffering during my Netflix binge. Not a dealbreaker, mind you, but something to be aware of. Plus, the In-room safe box was reassuring, though I didn't have anything terribly valuable to store (except maybe my sanity after a few days of Delhi traffic).
Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitized Obsession?
Let's talk about the elephant in the room (and in the hotel, apparently): Cleanliness and safety. They’re taking this seriously. I mean, seriously. Rooms sanitized between stays, anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff trained in safety protocol. It started to feel a tiny bit excessive, to be honest. Like a sanitization arms race. I kept expecting to see a hazmat suit-clad room service attendant. But hey, at least it felt safe.
They offered room sanitization opt-out available, which I appreciated. I’m not that germophobic.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: From Buffet Bliss to Room Service Revelations
Okay, the food. Where do I even begin? The breakfast [buffet] was a glorious spread. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast (the best of both worlds!), and everything in between. I practically waddled out of there every morning. The coffee/tea in restaurant was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but definitely caffeinated. They also offer breakfast in room – perfect for a lazy morning.
The restaurants themselves were varied, offering A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and even a Vegetarian restaurant. I sampled the international cuisine, and it was pretty good, though a bit pricey. One evening, I treated myself to room service [24-hour]. It was a godsend after a long travel day. The food arrived quickly, and the presentation was lovely. I ordered a simple salad, and it was surprisingly good.
And, the Poolside bar! The cocktails were delightful, and the views were amazing. The Snack bar was a great place to grab a quick bite during the day. I spent many happy hours by the pool, sipping a cocktail and pretending I was in a Bond movie.
The Upside: Blissful Relaxation & Spa Shenanigans
Now, for the real treat: the spa/sauna. This is where OMG! really shines. I indulged in a massage, a truly transcendent experience. The masseuse was incredibly skilled, and I felt like all my stress melted away. The spa itself was beautiful, with a sauna, a steamroom, and a pool with view. It was pure bliss.
I seriously considered a Body scrub and Body wrap, but I chickened out. Maybe next time! But this time, the most amazing part wasn't the spa itself, but the swimming pool [outdoor] experience. Lounging by the swimming pool, staring at the beautiful, tranquil skyline, after the massage, I understood what relaxation actually felt like.
Things to Do & Services: More Than Meets the Eye
The hotel offers a bunch of services and conveniences. Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Luggage storage – all the usual suspects. They even have a convenience store, which came in handy when I ran out of my favorite snacks.
They also advertise Business facilities, including Meetings and Meeting/banquet facilities. I didn't use them, but they looked impressive.
They have Baby sitting service even!
The Little Quirks (and the Occasional Glitch):
- The Loud Neighbor: Okay, so one night, the soundproofing in my room wasn't perfect. I could hear my neighbor's… let's just say, enthusiastic… Netflix selections. Earplugs are your friend.
- The Mysterious Invoice: They provide Invoice provided (a must!).
- The Shrine: They even had a Shrine, which provided a nice sense of culture and spirituality.
Areas for Improvement:
- Enhance elevator reliability.
- Improve Wi-Fi consistency.

**Escape to Paradise: Syariah Homestay Near Taman Mini, Lhokseumawe!**
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is me, unfiltered, about to wrestle Delhi and the NCR region into submission (or, let's be honest, get completely and utterly lost in its glorious chaos). And it all revolves around the Hotel O Star Rooms. My lifeline. My potential haven. Wish me luck.
Day 1: Delhi Belly? More Like Delhi Bliss (Hopefully)
Morning (Because I'm a morning person, mostly):
- 7:00 AM (ish): Wake up, bleary-eyed. The O Star Rooms better have a decent coffee machine, or this whole adventure is going to be fueled by sheer grumpiness. Seriously, a decent cup of joe is non-negotiable. Already thinking about that first caffeine hit. Praying the room isn't facing the main road. Sleep, it's the secret weapon in travel.
- 7:30 AM: Coffee procurement. (See above). If coffee is a disaster, plan B: Find a chai stall. Probably gonna be amazing. Delhi does chai right.
- 8:00 AM: Attempt to conquer the hotel breakfast buffet. This is where things get real. Buffets are a gamble, a smorgasbord of possibility. I'm aiming for the South Indian corner first. Gotta get that dose of idli and sambar. Seriously, if they're out of idli…I might weep. Publicly.
- 9:00 AM: Okay, fueled. Now the real fun begins. I'm planning on going to Old Delhi. Chandni Chowk! The chaos, the smells, the history…I'm simultaneously terrified and utterly thrilled. Taking an Uber. Wish me luck navigating the traffic. I’m already bracing myself for honking horns that will become the soundtrack of my trip.
Midday (Brace Yourselves, It's a Rollercoaster):
- 10:00 AM (ish): Landing in Chandni Chowk. Okay, deep breaths. This is going to be sensory overload. I'm hitting the spice market first. I need to smell the garam masala in its natural habitat. I hope I don't sneeze uncontrollably.
- 11:00 AM: Street food time! Gotta try the parathas. And the jalebis. And maybe the kebab. My stomach is already rumbling. I have a feeling I'm going to be very full by the end of the day. Also, hoping like hell I don't get Delhi Belly. I packed Immodium, just in case.
- 12:00 PM: Exploring the Jama Masjid. Okay, time for some culture. I'm going to be respectful. I'm also going to marvel at the architecture. And probably take a million photos because, you know, Instagram.
Afternoon (Possibly a Nap Required):
- 1:00 PM: Lunch! Okay, I’m starving. I'm aiming for a proper sit-down restaurant, hopefully with air conditioning. Chandni Chowk is hot. Like, really hot. Thinking maybe Karim's. Heard it's legendary. Praying the queue isn't too insane.
- 2:30 PM: Stroll through the narrow lanes. This is when the real magic happens, the unexpected discoveries. This is also where I'm most likely to get lost. Which is fine. Getting lost is part of the adventure. Just…pray my phone has data.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel! Need a shower. Need a nap. Need a giant bottle of water. Chandni Chowk is exhausting, in the best possible way.
Evening (Maybe, Just Maybe, a Little Chill):
- 6:00 PM: Relax. Seriously. I'm considering ordering room service at the O Star Rooms. Maybe a pizza? Or something more adventurous, like butter chicken. Depends on how adventurous I’m feeling.
- 7:00 PM: Journaling/Reflection. What did I see? How did I feel? Did I eat too much? The answers will be in the pages, I'm sure.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant or hotel. Depends on where I am. Or, if I'm feeling lazy, back to room service. I might just have a night time stroll and find a local store and buy some essentials.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep! Tomorrow, another adventure.
Day 2: New Delhi Glamour and (Possibly) a Tantrum
Morning:
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Coffee. (See Day 1).
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. More idli and sambar, if I'm lucky. Or I'll be cranky.
- 9:00 AM: This feels like a good time to visit Humayun's Tomb. Got to soak up some history. I've seen the pictures, it looks stunning. Hopefully the crowds aren't insane.
Midday:
- 11:00 AM: India Gate. Okay, this is iconic. I'm bracing myself for the sheer scale. Another photo op, probably.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Something fancy this time, maybe? Thinking about heading to a restaurant in the Lodhi Art District. Gotta embrace the fancy side of Delhi.
Afternoon:
- 2:00 PM: Exploring the Lodhi Art district. This is where I let my artistic side. The mural is going to be awesome.
- 4:00 PM: Shop at Dilli Haat. Souvenirs! Gotta get some for the folks back home (and, let's be honest, for myself). Also, I'm going to hit the street food stalls!
Evening:
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. More food. Maybe a cooking class? Or I end up back at the hotel (exhaustion is real).
- 9:00 PM: Lights out. Or, if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll find a rooftop bar somewhere. Depends on my energy levels.
Day 3: NCR Adventures (and the inevitable return from Delhi)
- Morning:
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Coffee. (Repeat).
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast (last chance for idli!).
- 9:00 AM: Head to Gurgaon!
- Midday:
- 11:00 AM: Explore Gurgaon.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch,
- Afternoon:
- 2:00 PM: Head back to the O Star Rooms.
- 4:00 PM: Pack.
- Evening:
- 6:00 PM: Last dinner in Delhi. Reflect on my adventures.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep one last time in Delhi and make sure I will be ready for departure.
Day 4: Departure
- Morning:
- 6:00 AM: Wake up. Coffee. (One last time).
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast (if I have time).
- 8:00 AM: Checkout. Head to airport/station.
- 9:00 AM: Get ready for departure.
Important Notes (aka My Sanity Savers):
- Hydration is Key: Drink water. Seriously. More water than you think you need.
- Negotiate Everything: Especially with auto-rickshaws. And the vendors. Basically, anything that isn't a fixed price.
- Embrace the Chaos: It's part of the charm. Let go of the need for perfection.
- Be Aware: Keep an eye on your belongings. Petty theft is a thing.
- Learn a Few Hindi Phrases: Even a basic "namaste" goes a long way. And "kitna?" (how much?) is essential.
- Take Breaks: Delhi is intense. Don't be afraid to chill in a park, or the hotel room.
- Have Fun! Seriously. It's a wild ride.
Okay, that's the plan. Wish me luck. I'm going in. Pray for me. And wish me luck on finding my way back to the O Star Rooms in one piece (and not looking like I’ve been dragged through a Delhi traffic jam). I'll keep you posted. Probably through a stream of frantic Instagram posts. Because, you know, that's what travelers do. Wish me luck!

OMG! Delhi's HOTTEST Hotel Rooms – O Star Luxury Awaits! (Or Does It?) - An FAQ, Because Let's Face It, You Have Questions... I Did!
Okay, Okay... So, What's *Actually* "Luxury" About O Star? I've Seen Ads... They're Always a Lie.
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. "Luxury" at O Star... well, it's aspirational luxury, if you catch my drift. They *say* it's all marble bathrooms and personalized butler service. And yeah, the lobby *does* smell like a ridiculously over-the-top floral arrangement. Now, the marble bathrooms? Okay, *some* rooms have them. And the butler? I think he was... lost? I tried requesting ice for my room, ended up waiting an hour, and then the guy just shrugged and said they were out. Ahem. So, the luxury? It's there... in patches. It's like a beautifully curated Instagram feed; you'll see the highlights reel, but don't necessarily expect the filter to fix *everything*. Honestly, for the price point, the *expectation* is high, and the reality... well, sometimes it feels like it wants to be the Oberoi, but it's more like that slightly fancier hotel next door. Still, the beds *are* comfy. And the giant TV *is* a plus, especially after a brutal afternoon wandering around Chandni Chowk. More on that later.
The Pics Look Incredible. Is the Room Actually... Clean? Because I've Been Burned Before.
Alright, this is where I get a little... *twitchy*. Okay, for the most part, yes. The rooms *generally* look clean. But! And this is a big "but" – my first room had a *slightly* suspect stain on the carpet. And I mean, like, a vague, yellowish-brownish stain that could have been anything from spilled coffee to... well, let's just say I didn't investigate further. I immediately requested a room change. The staff were accommodating, bless their hearts, but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. Second room: much better. Spotlessly clean. But the shadow of the first stain... it still lingers, ya know? So, yeah, generally clean, but maybe do a quick once-over upon arrival. Your mileage *will* vary. Basically, don't trust just *anything* you see, always check!
I'm a Foodie. How's the Dining Scene? Should I Even Bother Eating There?
Okay, food. This is a rollercoaster. The in-house restaurant, "Chandni Chowk Bites" or something equally generic, is... well, it exists. The breakfast buffet is decent. Lots of Indian options, a few Western staples, standard fare. I had this amazing aloo paratha *one* morning. Glorious. Then the next day, it was... limp. Consistency, people! The dinner menu is a bit pricey, and the quality fluctuates. I tried the butter chicken. Acceptable. But the waiter was a disaster and got my order totally wrong. I wanted a beer with it but they were "not serving alcohol at the moment", so I had to go get some for myself using the room service. Which took another hour. Then there's the room service. Hit or miss. Sometimes it arrives piping hot, sometimes it's lukewarm and rubbery. Honestly? Explore the area. Delhi's a food paradise! Walk outside. You'll find far superior options a short distance away. Don't get stuck in the hotel.
"Personalized Butler Service?" What even *is* that? Will he follow me around asking if I need my socks taken off?
Ha! No, thankfully, no sock removal. Though, after a day of Delhi heat, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. The "butler" thing... it's a bit of a gray area. Supposedly, they're there to handle everything: unpacking, pressing clothes, making reservations, running errands. My experience? As I mentioned, I asked for ice, and... well. Your mileage will *definitely* vary. I think it depends on the butler, the day of the week, and the alignment of the stars. I got one who was extremely good at avoiding me and saying I needed a "special permit". I am convinced this is just another marketing ploy.
Okay, spill the tea. What's the *worst* thing about staying there?
Ugh. Okay, I swear, this is the most important part. The elevator. THE ELEVATOR. I swear it got stuck three times during my stay. Each time, I was trapped for at least 20 minutes. Claustrophobia, anyone? The first time, I thought it was funny. The second time, I started to sweat. The third time? I practically hyperventilated. And the emergency button? It was... inoperable? I had to *yell* for help. No joke! Just imagine being stuck, potentially for an hour, not knowing if anyone even heard you. Now I understand how things got lost in NYC. It was by the grace of the universe that I was able to escape with my sanity (and a few extra grey hairs). It was a nightmare, pure and simple. Honestly, the elevator situation alone makes me want to avoid the place like the plague. It was the defining experience of my stay and will forever colour my perception of O Star. AVOID THE ELEVATOR AT *ALL* COSTS. Seriously. Take the stairs if you can. You might regret it, or you might not, but I had an existential moment. I’m still, months later, afraid to go into an elevator. Consider yourself warned.
Is the wi-fi reliable? Because Instagram is life.
Okay, this is important, because if you're anything like me, you NEED your social media. The Wi-Fi is... patchy. Sometimes it's blazing fast, like a champion racehorse. Other times, It's so slow it makes dial-up look cutting-edge. I spent a good chunk of my time tethering to my phone just to get a decent connection. So, plan accordingly. Download your entertainment, get your Instagram stories ready, and pray to the Wi-Fi gods. You might be posting those luxury shots from your room, but be prepared to be *very* patient. And the one time it *really* crapped out? Yep, during my elevator ordeal. Coincidence? Maybe. But I'm not taking any chances next time.
Overall, Would You Recommend O Star?
Hmm. That's a tough one. Look, it's got potential. Location is good. The beds are comfy. But… the elevator. The fluctuating food quality. The hit-or-miss service. Honestly? If the price is right, and you're prepared for some potential hiccups, then *maybe*. But if you're looking for a truly seamless, luxurious experience, you might want to consider other options. Maybe just... stay away from the elevator.
