Spark Inn: Delhi NCR's Hottest New Hotel? You HAVE to See This!
Spark Inn: Delhi NCR's Hottest New Hotel? Hold on, Let's Dive In! (With Honest & Messy Truths)
Alright, alright, hold your horses, Delhi-NCR dwellers! Everyone's buzzing about Spark Inn. "Hottest new hotel!" they scream. "You HAVE to see this!" Okay, okay, I get it. I went. And lemme tell you, it's an experience. Buckle up, because this ain't your typical hotel review. We're going deep, folks, into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes baffling world of Spark Inn.
First Impressions & The "Accessibility" Tango:
So, the hype is real. The lobby? Slick. Modern. Those gleaming surfaces? Almost hypnotizing. Now, for us folks who appreciate a smooth entry, the accessibility situation is…well, it's complicated. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but I'd recommend double-checking before you go. The elevator, thankfully, was working, and that's a huge win! Finding convenient car park [free of charge] was a plus, but navigating the initial 'wow' factor and figuring out where everything was a mild adventure. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property gave a sense of security; I appreciate a hotel that's actually paying attention.
The Room: A Sanctuary…Maybe?
Okay, my room. Let's talk details. The air conditioning blasted like a small blizzard. I was eternally grateful. Air conditioning in public area was also much appreciated, and also necessary. I really need my AC, I live in Delhi after all. The blackout curtains were practically a religious experience. Slept like a baby. The bed was…well, the extra long bed was extra long, which is always a win in my book. Bonus points for the bathrobes! Felt like a proper posh person. There's Free bottled water, which is essential in Delhi, especially with the dust and heat. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – thankfully, worked flawlessly. Internet access – wireless was easy, and I also could connect Internet access – LAN, which is nice to have as a backup. The Mirror on the wall was convenient to get ready.
However, there was a tiny, almost imperceptible stain on the upholstery. Don't judge me, but I noticed. It's the little things. And the soundproofing? Not as effective as it should have been. I heard a rogue parrot outside my window at 3 AM. (Spoiler alert: there are a lot of parrots in Delhi.) But hey, at least the alarm clock worked to wake me up. They also had complimentary tea and a coffee/tea maker, which is a must in this day and age.
Dining, Glorious Dining (and Slightly Less Glorious Moments):
The dining situation at Spark Inn is… ambitious. They have restaurants. Plural! Restaurants specializing in everything from Asian cuisine to international cuisine. The Asian breakfast was a delight. I got a delicious masala dosa. A la carte was also available. They also offer Breakfast in room, a lifesaver when you're feeling lazy. But here's the kicker: the service was, shall we say, inconsistent. One day, I was showered with attention; the next, I was trying to flag down a server like I was lost at sea. The Coffee shop was a great place to get a quick caffeine fix, and while the desserts in restaurant looked amazing, they were bit too sweet for my palate. The Poolside bar looked amazing, but I did not have the time to taste its magic. The Buffet in restaurant had a good variety, something for everyone. They also had a breakfast [buffet] and breakfast service which was nice. They also have Alternative meal arrangement, and their room service [24-hour] was a godsend at 2 in the morning when the parrot woke me again. They also had salad in restaurant and soup in restaurant which was nice to see. The Happy hour was fun. It was fun to watch other people have fun.
Relaxation & Rejuvenation: Spa Day Dreams & Fitness Center Realities:
Okay, this is where Spark Inn almost completely redeemed itself. The spa area? Stunning. They promised body scrub and body wrap, along with massage, a sauna, and a steamroom. I dove in. The massage was pure bliss. The spa/sauna was exactly what I needed after a long day of navigating Delhi’s chaos. Finding the Fitness center took a little more effort than expected, but it was a good setup. They have a Swimming pool and a pool with view . I did not use either, but the photos looked beautiful. The Foot bath – I did not see this, but it sounds delightful?
Cleanliness & Safety: The Sanitizing Symphony:
This is a biggie for me right now. I was impressed. Spark Inn seemed to take cleanliness and safety seriously. They had the basics covered: hand sanitizer everywhere, daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol. They offered room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch. My room appeared to be properly rooms sanitized between stays. They also had Anti-viral cleaning products and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, which is reassuring. Knowing that the staff are trained in such protocol makes me feel safe.
The "Things to Do" Factor:
This is a classic hotel-y aspect. I’m not one to be stuck in the hotel all day. They have a meeting/banquet facilities and meeting stationery. They have a shrine… yes, an actual shrine, adding a spiritual dimension. There's a gift/souvenir shop for those last-minute purchases. A convenience store is always helpful. And if you’re traveling for business, they have business facilities, they even have internet services, which is great.
The Extras: The Good, the Bad, and the "Huh?"
- Cashless payment service: Convenient!
- Concierge: Helpful, but sometimes a bit… distracted.
- Luggage storage: Super useful.
- Laundry service: Pricy, but effective.
- Doorman: Always a plus.
- Doctor/nurse on call: Thankfully, didn’t need it, but good to know!
- Pets allowed unavailablePets allowed: Okay, that's my bad.
- Babysitting service: I did not use.
- Family/child friendly: Definitely.
The Verdict (My Messy, Totally Honest Take):
Spark Inn is… a work in progress. It's got the potential to be amazing. The aesthetics are on point, the spa is heavenly, and the food (minus the inconsistent service) is delicious. But the execution? Still needs some polishing.
So, is it worth it?
YES, but with a caveat. If you're looking for a stylish stay with luxurious touches and don't mind a few bumps along the way, book it. Go. Experience. But also, be prepared for a few quirks. And maybe bring your own earplugs. Because those Delhi parrots…

Kota Kinabalu Airport Escape: 3-Pax Studio (5 Mins Away!)Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to plan a trip to Spark Inn New Delhi and NCR India. Forget the perfectly curated travel blogs, this is going to be a bumpy, beautiful, and hopefully hilarious ride. My itinerary might resemble a crumpled map fished out of a monsoon sewer, but hey, that's life, right?
Spark Inn, Delhi & NCR: A Messy, Marvelous Adventure (Probably)
Day 1: Arrival – Delhi Belly, Here We Come! (Maybe literally.)
- Morning (Approx. 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Assuming I haven't spent the entire plane ride drooling on the window (always a possibility), I'll navigate the immigration chaos. My inner monologue will probably go something like: "Okay, smile! Look confident! Pretend you understand the passport guy's incredibly fast Hindi… or is it Urdu? Ah, who cares! Just get through." Hopefully, I’ll find my pre-booked airport transfer (fingers crossed the app works).
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Get to Spark Inn and check in. (Praying the room doesn't look too much like a prison cell… or that the AC works). After all the travel stress and potentially getting lost on the way here, I'm starving. I'll order something easy at the hotel restaurant, maybe a simple butter chicken - if I can get over the fear of Delhi Belly…
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): First impressions of Delhi! I'm thinking a relaxed introductory walk. Maybe a stroll around Connaught Place? I imagine it'll be a sensory overload: traffic, beggars, smells, and colours. It makes me feel overwhelmed, excited and I'm quite sure I'll need a chai break every 10 minutes.
- Anecdote/Imperfection: Okay, let's be honest. I'll probably get lost. I have a terrible sense of direction and the map apps are notorious for glitching out in crowded cities. I'll just embrace it and wander. Probably end up in a random shop buying a souvenir I'll regret later.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Dinner somewhere near the hotel. I'm planning to check out some markets or street food - because, you know, YOLO. I absolutely love street food, but I'm also terrified of catching a nasty bug. I'll probably end up ordering the mildest dish on the menu, and over-sanitizing my cutlery. And yeah, maybe some drinks at a rooftop bar, soaking in the Delhi night. I'll definitely spend half the evening trying to figure out how to find the nearest Uber.
Day 2: Old Delhi: A Feast for the Senses (and Potentially Your Stomach)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Head into Old Delhi. I hope the hotel has a decent breakfast or I'll be too hungry and grumpy to deal with the chaotic maze of streets. The plan is to visit Jama Masjid (big mosque, gotta dress modestly!), explore the spice market (prepare for sneezing attacks!), and wander through the narrow bylanes of Chandni Chowk.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): The true test begins. Street food. I'm going to dive deep into the street food scene. I'll try something from every single vendor to experience a variety of local dishes. Everything from parathas to jalebis will be there. I'm going to ignore all the hygiene concerns because this food is authentic. My stomach may hate me later, but I'll be too full to care.
- Quirky Observation: I’ve heard the traffic in Old Delhi is legendary. I'm half expecting to see elephants and rickshaws battling for right of way. I'll be sure to bring a camera to document the inevitable chaos.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Explore the Red Fort (another historical must-see). I also want to visit a local shop (I haven't done this enough). I'll spend way too long haggling over the price of a scarf I don’t really need.
- Emotional Reaction: I imagine I’ll be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people and noise. I’ll probably alternate between feeling incredibly fascinated and utterly bewildered.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Dinner! I'm not sure if I'll want any food after today's lunch! Let's be honest with myself and order a pizza. There's a local Pizza Hut that I'm sure they have some delicious food.
Day 3: Monuments & Modernity (And Maybe a Few Regrets)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): This is where I try to act like a responsible tourist. I'll visit Humayun's Tomb (beautiful Mughal architecture!), then maybe Qutub Minar (another impressive tower). I might also aim for India Gate.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Time to eat? I want something that is light, fresh and healthy. We'll go to a local cafe, to enjoy a nice refreshing meal.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): I'm going to visit some museums. I'll decide which one to see closer to the time. I'm not a museum person, but I will give it a try.
- Messier Structure and Rambles: Okay, let's be real. By this point, I'll probably have developed a serious resistance to Indian spices. My taste buds will be burned out. I'll probably have also lost my filter and will be saying "Namaste" to everyone I meet.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Going to a restaurant and explore some modern tastes. Drinks!
Day 4: Agra (Taj Mahal!) - Day Trip Madness
- Early Morning (4:00 AM – 6:00 AM): Wake up! I'm going to try my luck to book a taxi by taxi booking company. I'm going to spend a good amount of time on the road.
- Breakfast (6:00 AM – 7:00 AM): Buy some snacks I will be so hungry by this point, and grab some coffee.
- Morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): By this time, I'll be traveling and I'll reach Agra. I will be visiting the Taj Mahal! I will visit the Taj Mahal. I will. I'll try to suppress my inner tourist and just…appreciate the beauty of this iconic building.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Again, I'm going to ignore all hygiene concerns and go for street food.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Wander around Agra Fort, take a gazillion photos. I'm going to explore every corner of the place.
- Evening (4:00 PM onward): Start the journey back to Delhi. I don't think I'll be able to enjoy food by that point.
Day 5: NCR Exploration (If I'm Still Alive)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): I will try to visit some of the surrounding areas. I'll research some local events or festivals. I might spend my day exploring by walking.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): After all the walking I'm sure I'll be hungry. I'll order something at some local restaurant or cafe.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Local Shopping? Shopping at the local market will be the best thing to do. I'm going to ask my friend for recommendations.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Maybe a farewell dinner with the people I've met and a final attempt to figure out how Delhi actually works.
Day 6: Departure - Adios, Delhi! (Until Next Time, Maybe)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Final breakfast in Delhi. Last-minute souvenir shopping (probably more stuff I don’t need). Pack my bags. Try to remember where I put my passport.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Head to the airport. Pray the traffic gods are kind.
- Departure (2:00 PM): Goodbye, India! Until next time. (Or, maybe, see-ya-never. Just kidding… maybe.)
Important Notes (Because Life Never Goes as Planned):
- Delhi Belly Insurance: I'll invest in some serious antacid. Just in case.
- Haggling: I'm going to try to bargain, but I'll
