Livasa Inn: Delhi NCR's BEST Kept Secret for Luxury Stays?
Livasa Inn: Delhi NCR's BEST Kept (Almost Too Good) Secret for Luxury Stays? – A Messy, Honest Review
Okay, so let's cut to the chase: is Livasa Inn in Delhi NCR really the “best kept secret?” Honestly? Yep. But shhh, don't tell everyone. Because honestly, I want it all to myself.
Accessibility: Getting There (and Everywhere Else)
Reaching Livasa Inn is a breeze. They got the airport transfer option down – which, trust me, after battling Delhi traffic, is a godsend. And once you're in, it’s surprisingly easy to get around. They've got the usual taxi service, and I spotted free car parking. Plus, it's all super convenient - no endless circling for a spot. It's great for disabled guests, right from the start.
Cleanliness & Safety: My Germaphobe Heart Sings (Mostly)
Look, I'm a little bit obsessed with cleanliness these days (hello, post-pandemic life!), and Livasa Inn gets it. Sanitizing? Oh yeah. They're practically bathing the place in it. Seriously, the anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays? Check, check, check. And the staff? Trained in safety protocol. I even peeped some sterilizing equipment – a little overkill, perhaps, but hey, I'm not complaining! Hand sanitizer everywhere, and it's good hand sanitizer. Bonus points for the individually-wrapped food options. I did see them use professional-grade sanitizing services. Also, rooms can optionally be left unsanitized between stays. Well that's good to know.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Food Coma Alert!
Alright, here's where Livasa Inn really shines. Forget just "dining." We're talking a full-blown culinary adventure.
- Restaurants: Multiple spots. From International Cuisine to Asian. They have a Vegetarian options too!
- Breakfast (Buffet, A La Carte, Asian, Western): The breakfast buffet is… well, I ate enough to feed a small army. They had everything, from fluffy pastries to authentic Asian dishes. The Western breakfast? Solid. I will say, their Asian breakfast option was pretty darn good.
- Coffee Shop & Poolside Bar: Because…duh. Perfect for that pre-swim caffeine fix or a sundowner cocktail.
- Room Service (24-Hour): Need a midnight snack attack? They’ve got you covered.
- Snack Bar: For those impromptu cravings.
- Desserts: Prepare to loosen your belt.
There was a happy hour too, which was nice. I was in heaven. The bottle of water in my room was a nice touch. And I saw that the buffet was in the restaurant too. My one major food confession: I overdid it. Day one: amazing. Day two: a little stuffed. Day three… well, let’s just say I took advantage of the "alternative meal arrangement" option and requested a salad. My gut, however, was screaming for a dessert in the restaurant.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams and Poolside Bliss
Okay, buckle up, because the relaxation offerings at Livasa Inn are legit.
- Pool with a View: Stunning. Seriously, the perfect Instagram backdrop. Jump in, then lay back.
- Spa (Spa/Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body Scrub/Wrap, Foot bath): This is where it gets really good. I spent hours in the spa. The sauna and steamroom were a perfect warm-up. My massage? Heavenly. Almost put me to sleep right there.
- Gym/Fitness Center: For those of you who, unlike me, actually like exercise. I saw a few people using it. I stuck with the pool.
- Sauna: What more can you say?
- Swimming Pool [outdoor]: The ultimate treat.
Services & Conveniences: Spoiled Rotten, Basically
This is a long one, but Livasa Inn is committed to luxury.
- Concierge & Doorman: Always helpful and quick.
- Luggage Storage: Essential for me, because I always pack too much.
- Laundry/Dry Cleaning & Ironing Service: My clothes never looked this good.
- Daily Housekeeping: My room was spotless.
- Currency Exchange & Cash Withdrawal: Super convenient.
- Business Facilities: For the business travelers, there are meeting and banquet facilities.
- Gift/Souvenir Shop: I should note that there is a gift shop. Great for last-minute presents.
- Additional Services:
- Air conditioning, elevator, safety box – all the standards are there.
- Facilities for disabled guests (the elevator and other amenities)
- Food Delivery and even a convenience store!
- Indoor and outdoor venue for special events
- Cashless payment service (modern convenience!)
- Meeting and seminar facilities (serious business stuff!)
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun
Livasa Inn is family-friendly. They have babysitting services and kid's facilities, which are awesome. However, I didn't have any kids, so I will just have to take their word for it.
Rooms: My Sanctuary (Almost)
- Air Conditioning: Essential.
- Internet Access: WiFi [free]! (Thank god) plus LAN, and Internet services available.
- Bedding: Extra long beds (yesss!)
- Coffee/tea maker: Always a win.
- Bathrobes & Slippers: Luxury.
- Separate Shower/Bathtub, Toiletries: High-quality.
- Non-smoking Rooms: A must.
- Wake-up service: Great for getting ready for my buffet ritual.
- Additional
- Alarm clock for those early mornings
- Blackout curtains for the lazy mornings
- In-room safe box – for my valuables
- Mini bar – for that late night drink
- Reading light – to read after you are done watching the movies
I stayed in a non-smoking room. The bed was beyond comfortable (extra-long, thank you very much!), the blackout curtains were a lifesaver for late mornings, and the included Wi-Fi? Fast and reliable. I will say the mirror was a bit distracting seeing myself on every wall, and I had to use the sofa a few times. The room featured a separate shower and bathtub, which was just the thing to de-stress. They have a good supply of toiletries and even an umbrella. The only minor complaint? The soundproofing wasn't perfect. I could occasionally hear the distant rumble of Delhi… but that might be just a me problem.
Getting Around
They have airport transfer, and car park on-site (free) and car park (free of charge), plus a taxi service. I saw bicycle parking, too.
The Imperfections (Because, Let's Be Real)
Look, no place is perfect. Here’s my honest take:
- The Food Overload: I have no regrets.
My Honest Verdict: Worth It? Heck Yes!
Livasa Inn is genuinely a hidden gem in Delhi NCR. It's luxurious, comfortable, and the service is top-notch. The spa is a must-do. The food? Prepare to be wowed (and potentially overstuffed). Is it the "best kept secret"? Maybe. But once you try it, you won't want to keep it a secret any longer.

Escape to Paradise: Hampton Inn Bermuda Run, NC - Your Dream Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this Delhi diary is gonna be less "perfect Instagram grid" and more "slightly burnt samosa at a bustling railway station." We’re heading to (and getting lost in) the chaos and charm that is Livasa Inn Hotel, New Delhi, and all the glorious, grimy bits of NCR. This is gonna be raw, real, and probably involve me desperately needing a chai break every 15 minutes.
Livasa Inn & Delhi (ish) – A Chaotic Chronicle
(Day 1: Arrival & Airport Anxiety – The Day Everything Went Wrong (and Right))
10:00 AM (Delhi Time - Who even knows what time it actually IS?): Finally, land! After a flight that felt longer than my last relationship. The plane’s nose dived so hard on the landing I am very thankful to be alive and not having to suffer a long ride back home. The humidity hits you like a wet blanket the second you step off the plane. Instantly sticky, I'm already considering a tactical retreat to my room, armed with the AC remote and a mountain of snacks. The airport is a glorious, slightly confusing, explosion of humanity. People are EVERYWHERE. I can't find my luggage so I feel I have to wait an hour just waiting for it to show up.
11:30 AM: Taxi Drama (or, The Price of Being a Tourist): Okay, I'm learning my first Delhi lesson: Bargaining is a SPORT. The taxi driver, a charming chap with a mustache that could rival Freddie Mercury's, quotes me a price that seems… optimistic. We negotiate (me, feeling like a hardened pro; in reality, probably getting ripped off spectacularly). The drive to Livasa Inn begins. The traffic? A beautiful, chaotic ballet of horns, rickshaws, and cows wondering where they parked their car.
1:00 PM: Livasa Inn – First Impressions (and Mild Panic): Livasa Inn! It's… nice. Clean, functional. The AC blasts a frigid welcome. The room is smaller than I imagined, but the bed looks promising. I shove all my luggage, unpacked or not, on the bed. There's a slight smell of mothballs, which I choose to embrace as "charm." The shower, however, is another story. The water pressure? Non-existent. The water temperature? Somewhere between "glacial" and "scalding lava." Decisions, decisions.
2:00 PM: Lunch - So much variety I got lost: With no other option, I order food from the room service menu. I order a chicken curry and rice. It was amazing I had never had curry this perfect.
3:00 PM: Rest - Just what I needed!: I take a nice nap and rest up for the day
6:00 PM: The Spice Market - It Was More Than Just Smells: I head to the Spice Market, and wow!. The smells! Coriander, cumin, cardamom – it's an attack on the senses in the best possible way. I buy enough spices to start my own small business. I am immediately regretting that I did not bring an extra bag for all the stuff I bought.
8:00 PM: Dinner (and Delhi Belly?) I have dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food is good. I think I will go to bed early.
(Day 2: The Historical Hustle & Heartbreak - Or, Gandhi's Haunting Gaze)
8:00 AM: Breakfast (and the Battle for the Buffet): Breakfast at the hotel. The buffet is… ambitious. Eggs, toast, some suspicious-looking fruit, and a questionable "American" section. I opt for the dosa, which is thankfully delicious. The battle for the coffee machine is real. I won (with a little aggressive elbowing).
9:00 AM: Humayun's Tomb - Beauty & the Burn: Humayun's Tomb. Absolutely stunning. The architecture is breathtaking, the symmetry… perfection. The heat, however, is also breathtaking, in a very different way. I sweat through my shirt in approximately 15 minutes. I find myself in the shade, fantasizing about air conditioning.
11:00 AM: India Gate - Remembrance and Reflection: India Gate. Huge. Impressive. The names etched into it… raw. I actually felt emotional. Such respect is due. I bought some ice cream and watched the world around me.
1:00 PM: Lunch - street food adventure!: On my way back, I tried some street food. It was so nice and I enjoyed every bit of it.
2:00 PM: Gandhi Smriti: History's Hug: I take a cab/rickshaw to Gandhi Smriti, it was an amazing experience. At Gandhi Smriti, the history is a tangible presence. I spent hours wandering through the museum, feeling the weight of history. It's a deeply moving experience, and I'm left with a profound appreciation for Gandhi's legacy. Don't forget to bring tissues.
5:00 PM: Connaught Place - Shopping and Soul-Searching (aka Retail Therapy): Connaught Place. Chaotic, bustling, and a shopper's paradise. I got lost in the shops and the noise and I bought some clothes.
8:00 PM: Dinner and contemplation: I have dinner at the hotel. I love the food. I am going to try and prepare dinner in my hotel too.
(Day 3: Day Trip to Agra (and the Ephemeral Beauty of the Taj Mahal) – The Emotional Rollercoaster)
6:00 AM: Early Start, Early Regrets: Leaving the hotel so early for Agra was a nightmare. I’m still battling the jet lag, and the thought of a three-hour drive feels… daunting. I was regretting every bad decision I had made.
9:00 AM: The Taj Mahal - Tears and Triumph: The Taj Mahal. Words fail me. The sheer scale, the exquisite detail, the story behind it… I actually cried. Like, full-on, snotty, tourist tears. Standing there, feeling as if my life was in fast-forward, I was finally there.
12:00 PM: Agra Fort - Fortress Fatigue: Agra Fort. Impressive, but walking around in the heat was a real task. My feet hurt, I was thirsty, and I was starting to get "templed out." I was done.
2:00 PM: Lunch - a quick bite: I have lunch at a restaurant.
3:00 PM: The Long Road Back - Stuffed, Silly, and Surviving: Back in the car for the long drive. Sleep, snacks, and sheer willpower gets me through.
7:00 PM: Back to Livasa Inn - Weariness and Wonder: Back at the hotel. I ordered food and I instantly collapsed on the bed.
(Day 4: Serenity and Sadness - A Little Bit of Everything)
10:00 AM: Lazy Start and Room Service Bliss: I am still exhausted, so I order room service. I did some work and I was done.
1:00 PM: Shopping spree!: I wanted to go shopping so I went shopping.
7:00 PM: Dinner and Planning for Departure: I have dinner at the hotel restaurant.
(Day 5: Farewell and Flight Fiasco (because what else?)
10:00 AM: Last breakfast: Breakfast at the hotel.
11:00 AM: Last minute shopping I had to buy some souvenirs!
1:00 PM: Airport Adventure: The journey to the airport. Traffic chaos is still. I am scared I might miss the plane!
3:00 PM Goodbye Delhi - For Now Goodbye Delhi!
This is, of course, just a framework. The beauty of travel is the unexpected. The wrong turns, the delayed trains, the moments that take you completely off-track… those are the memories that stick with you. So, Delhi, bring it on and make it messy and I am ready for the adventure!
Princeton's Hidden Gem: Fairfield Inn & Suites Review (You Won't Believe This!)
Livasa Inn: Delhi NCR's BEST Kept Secret? Let's Unpack That Mess!
Okay, spill it: Is Livasa Inn *really* as good as the whispers say? Is it REALLY a "best kept secret?"
Ugh, right? The "best kept secret" thing... it's always a red flag, isn't it? Makes you think it's gonna be all hype and no substance. But here's the messy truth: **YES. Mostly. But HOLD ON.** Look, I've stayed in places where the "luxury" felt about as genuine as a politician's smile. Livasa Inn? Well, let me tell you a story... (deep breath).
Picture this: me, utterly fried after a hellish flight into Delhi. Jet lag, Delhi traffic, the whole shebang. I stumble into the lobby, expecting... well, I'm not even sure what. Probably something bland and corporate. Instead? Instantly, BAM! **A scent of jasmine, a quiet fountain bubbling, and this gorgeous artwork that actually *made* me stop and look.** And I'm not an art person, okay? So, yeah, it's a good start. The concierge was incredibly charming, by the way. Not the robotic kind. The genuinely *helpful* kind, like he actually cared if I found my room or not. Which, considering my mental state, was a godsend.
**So, secret? Maybe? It's definitely a hidden gem. Unless everyone's suddenly figured it out, in which case I'll be weeping quietly in the corner.**
What kind of rooms are we talking about? Like, are we slumming it, or are we full-on luxury lounging?
Definitely not slumming it. Thank GOD. Rooms are seriously spacious. And I mean, *really* spacious. I’m a chronic over-packer. My suitcases usually resemble small mountains of clothing. The room swallowed them whole without a peep.
But it’s not just about size. It's the *details*. Think plush bedding. Super comfy pillows (I'm picky!). Smart TVs. A bathroom that feels more like a spa than a toilet. Seriously, I have a thing about good bathrooms. The lighting? Perfect. Water pressure? Glorious. And the little extras, like fresh fruit and a complimentary bottle of water... tiny things, but they *matter*, you know? Because after a long day of being in Delhi. You wanna feel pampered. Not like you are going home to your hostel.
**Confession time: I spent a solid 20 minutes just *admiring* the bathroom. No regrets.**
The food! Is it any good? 'Cause I need good food. Seriously. I get hangry.
Okay, the food. Buckle up, buttercup. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I'm not gonna lie, the first night I was there. I was like. 'Oh, it's a hotel restaurant. It's gonna be the same old, same old.' **WRONG.** The menu is a serious mix. Indian specialties are, naturally, *chef's kiss*. They have a butter chicken that almost made me weep tears of joy. And the naan? Fluffy, warm, and practically addictive.
But here’s where I'd say things get a little... *less* perfect. If you're craving Western food, like a burger or something predictable... well, it's *fine*. Not stellar. Not the reason you go. Stick with the Indian and you'll be golden. Breakfast buffet, though? Excellent selection. They even had a dosa station! A dosa STATION! My inner foodie nearly exploded with glee.
**Side note: I may or may not have accidentally eaten three dosas. Don't judge me.**
Tell me about the location. Because Delhi traffic can be brutal!
Okay, location is actually pretty decent. It’s not bang-smack-dab in the heart of the tourist craziness, which is a HUGE bonus in my book. It's in a more upmarket area of Delhi NCR. Still accessible to all the important stuff. Like, you can get to the main attractions pretty easily. Which is great.
And it's *quiet*. After a day in Delhi, you NEED quiet. I'm not sure how they do it, but it's like this little oasis of calm. Especially when you’re dealing with the noise and chaos outside. This is one of the things that really sealed the deal for me. Knowing that I could retreat back to my room and unwind completely after a day of sightseeing.
**Pro-tip: factor in travel time, though. Delhi traffic is legendary for a reason.**
Are there any downsides? Come on, be honest! Nothing's perfect.
Okay, alright, FINE. Nothing's perfect, and I'm not going to pretend it is. There were a couple of minor things.
Firstly, the gym. It exists. Which is great! But the selection equipment is, shall we say, more functional than fancy. Don't expect a state-of-the-art fitness studio. Then there was a bit of a mix-up with my laundry. It was a small thing (and promptly resolved), but it's the kind of tiny hiccup that you remember.
And, realistically, it’s not the cheapest hotel you'll find. It’s an investment. But if you want a luxurious stay, and don't mind paying a little more, then it’s totally worth it.
**Look, no place is perfect. But the good far outweighs the not-so-good at Livasa Inn.**
Who would I recommend this place to? Is it for everyone?
Hmm, good question! **Not for the budget backpackers. Sorry, guys.** If you're on a shoestring, you might want to look elsewhere. This is definitely geared towards people who appreciate a bit of luxury and are willing to pay for it.
I'd recommend it to:
- Anyone who wants a break from the chaos of Delhi.
- Couples looking for a romantic getaway (the ambiance is perfect for that).
- Business travelers who want a comfortable and stylish base.
- Anyone who loves a great (and I mean *great*) butter chicken.
**Ultimately, if you value comfort, good service, and a touch of elegance, you'll probably love Livasa Inn.**
