Escape to Paradise: OYO Tree House New Delhi & NCR - Your Dream Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the… well, the dream that is Escape to Paradise: OYO Tree House New Delhi & NCR. And let me tell you, after wading through the OYO swamp of… ahem… variable experiences, this one actually promised something. Let's see if it delivered, shall we? I'm going to be honest. It's not going to be a perfect review, but it will be real. And hopefully, it'll help you decide if this is actually your dream getaway.
First Impressions: The Accessibility Angle (Because, You Know, Real Life)
Right off the bat, important stuff: Accessibility. This is HUGE, and honestly, it’s never a given in India. This listing says it has Facilities for disabled guests, and an Elevator. Okay, that’s a start. But "saying" and "being" are often worlds apart. (I'm itching to call them up and ask exactly how accessible…but that’s a separate trip). Hopefully, the reality matches the promise. Because if you’re in a wheelchair and the "elevator" is a glorified dumbwaiter… well, that's not paradise. I am praying to the travel gods for proper ramps and usable bathrooms! We NEED this info.
Internet Access: The Modern-Day Oxygen (and My Obsession!)
Okay, I’m a millennial. I need internet. Like, I need air. And the review promises Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Internet Access – Wireless, Internet Access – LAN, and just, overall, Internet! Plus Wi-Fi in public areas. Thank god. Nothing kills a vacation buzz faster than a spotty connection. I mean, how am I supposed to Instagram my perfectly crafted smoothie bowl without a reliable signal? The thought alone is… shudders. I will assume that the Business facilities, like Xerox/Fax services and Meeting/Banquet Facilities, are also…connected. (Again, I am going to assume, and hold my breath.)
Cleanliness and Safety: The COVID-Era Reality Check
Look, COVID-19 has changed EVERYTHING. The fact that this place highlights Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Hand sanitizer, Individually-wrapped food options, and Staff trained in safety protocol is a HUGE relief. Safe dining setup? Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Yes, please! They also list Doctor/nurse on call, a First aid kit, and Hygiene certification. This is all crucial, and it's good to see them taking this seriously. The Room sanitization opt-out available is interesting. I guess if you're feeling particularly brave (or haven't left your germ-free bubble), you can opt out.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Because Calories Don’t Count on Vacation… Right?
Alright, foodie alert! Promises, promises! Restaurants, a Coffee shop, and a Snack bar are already making my stomach rumble. Room service [24-hour]? Yes, please! A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast… sounds promising! The Poolside bar is calling my name (hello, cocktails!). And the presence of Vegetarian restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, means they are trying to cater for all tastes. I am also curious about Alternative meal arrangement. That opens up a world of possibilities.
Things to do, Ways to Relax: The Escape Part
Now for the good stuff: the actual "paradise" part! Swimming pool [outdoor] AND a Pool with view?! YES! Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Gym/fitness, Fitness center, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath. Okay, I'm starting to seriously consider canceling my flight home. The Terrace is lovely. I bet the view is something else. And the sound of the Airconditioning in public area is amazing!
Services and Conveniences: The Nitty-Gritty
So many things here. Concierge, Doorman, Luggage storage, Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Laundry service, Food delivery, Currency exchange, Cash withdrawal…basically, all the stuff that makes life easier. The Gift/souvenir shop is tempting (souvenirs, people!). The Car park [free of charge] is excellent. And Airport transfer is a lifesaver. The On-site event hosting is a nice, convenient feature, alongside the indoor venue for special events.
For the Kids
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal… Sounds perfect for a family trip.
Getting Around
Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Bicycle parking, Valet parking - all great!

I can't even decide what I want!
The Imperfect Bits… and My Verdict
Okay, so I haven't actually stayed here yet. Obviously. (Working on that… working hard). But based on the sheer quantity of amenities and promises… this OYO Tree House has a LOT going for it. The cleanliness and safety protocols are the most important thing, especially with where the world is right now.
Where it falls short?
- Lack of real user reviews: I need to see real humans raving or ranting. Actual experiences, with actual names. And the real truth.
- Accessibility confirmation: I will be personally asking for a video tour of the accessibility features. I wouldn't want to rely on what the establishment says. If they don't deliver on that promise, it all falls apart.
- The OYO reputation: Look, OYO's reputation has been dodgy. A lot of properties are hit or miss. This one looks promising, but it all comes down to execution.
My Dream Stay: The Ultimate Indulgence
Picture it: I roll in, exhausted from… well, whatever, let’s say a harrowing flight. The concierge whisks away my bags. I check in contactless and then I'm whisked off to my room, a non-smoking haven of air conditioning, blackout curtains, and a gigantic extra-long bed. I sink into the bathrobes (YES!) and then order room service – a glorious feast from the a la carte menu. Later, I hit the pool with a view, followed by a massage and a long soak in the bathtub. This goes on for days, the rest of the world fading away.

**Hotel Krisha Daman: Your Luxurious Indian Getaway Awaits!**
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a slightly deranged, totally awesome, and probably sleep-deprived adventure at the OYO Tree House New Delhi and NCR. This isn't your perfectly curated, Instagram-filtered travel guide. This is the real deal. Expect typos, tangents, and maybe a meltdown or two. Let's roll!
The Totally-Unplanned OYO Treehouse Delhi Debacle (Plus Surrounding Shenanigans):
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (Plus, Is That a Spider?)
- 9:00 AM: Arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Jet lag is already a brutal mistress. Currency exchange? Forget about it, I'm grabbing the first chai-wallah I see and begging for change. Also, did I really pack enough socks? This is a question that plagues all travellers, it seems.
- 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM: The Taxi Hunt. Honestly, the Delhi airport taxi situation is a competitive sport. It’s a blend of bartering, charm (which I lack), and pure, unadulterated luck. Found a guy promising AC. The air conditioning? Mildly effective, like a gentle suggestion of coolness.
- 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Arrival at OYO Tree House and first impressions. Okay, so the online photos were slightly more idyllic. It's definitely… charming? The "treehouse" aspect is more of a metaphorical feeling, but hey, the room is clean(ish) and the air conditioning is actually working. Thank the Lord, because Delhi heat is not playing games. The first thing I do is flop onto the bed and decide I need one of those "relax" days that I'm bad at.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch Scramble. "Where's the nearest decent food?" is the eternal traveller's question. Found a little place nearby that specializes in street food. Tried a samosa, burnt my tongue, swore softly, and then devoured another. The food, as always, makes the trip memorable.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Settling In & Spider Dread. Okay, full disclosure: I have a mild (okay, maybe not mild) phobia of spiders. I'm pretty sure I saw a teeny-tiny one. I spent a solid hour searching for it, then convinced myself it was a figment of my tired imagination and retreated to watching Netflix, which oddly comforted me.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Market Madness (Old Delhi): Taking a taxi and hopping into the chaos, which is both exhilarating and slightly terrifying. This is where my bargaining skills (or, rather, lack thereof) are really tested. I bought a scarf. I also probably overpaid. But hey, the colors are amazing! Got completely lost in the spice market, and my nose is still tingling from the chili powder.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner and existential dread. I'm sitting the the hotel's restaurant, which is quite fine. I'm wondering what I got myself into.
Day 2: History, Hustle, and Headaches (Literally)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up, after the worst sleep of my life. My head hurts. That samosa was a mistake. Also, the morning birds which sound pretty are actually just loud.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Which is included, thankfully. Basic, but does the job. I may or may not have grabbed some extra fruit to keep me going.
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The Qutub Minar Pilgrimage. This place is stunning! So tall! So old! So many steps! I may or may not have taken a nap on one of the shaded benches. No regrets. The history is fascinating, but my brain is running on fumes.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch Mishap: Found a dodgy-looking restaurant, ordered something that looked delicious, and then spent the next hour regretting it. Let's just say, my stomach is not a fan of whatever that was. Lesson learned: stick to the familiar (and maybe carry some Pepto-Bismol).
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Humayun's Tomb. Again, just stunning! It's so perfect, so symmetrical. I sat and watched a group of giggling children playing around and felt a surge of happiness. It's moments like these that make travel worthwhile, even with the stomach cramps.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Traffic Hell. Delhi traffic is legendary, and today, it decided to embrace its fame fully. Ended up stuck in a taxi for an hour, contemplating life choices and the futility of human existence.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Trying to Find Inner Peace (and Dinner). Decided to find a quiet rooftop cafe and try to meditate. Did not work. My stomach rumbled. Ordered a pizza, which was surprisingly good.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: More Netflix, because sometimes you just need a hug from your comfort shows. And maybe another anti-nausea tablet.
Day 3: Escape the City (Maybe?)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast (again). Starting to recognize the staff, which is a good thing. Comfort in familiarity is key.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Determined to Escape: I decided to brave the NCR (National Capital Region) and find some greenery. A friend mentioned a bird sanctuary. Birds don't scare me. Right?
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Bird Sanctuary Disappointment, maybe. The sanctuary was lovely but the heat was oppressive. And then, something flew past. I didn't get a good look. All I could see was a large, feathery blur. I'm pretty sure it was a bird. Then, something worse, a Mosquito!
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Lunch and Shopping-Mall Trauma. Got lured into a shopping mall promising air conditioning. The experience was jarring, like landing on another planet after the vibrant chaos of the markets. Tried to buy something, got overwhelmed and retreated to the food court, where I may or may not have had a breakdown.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back to the OYO. I actually feel like I'm starting to know the place. It's becoming familiar, almost comforting. The staff are friendly. The little spider is still, thankfully, avoiding me.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Decided to try the hotel restaurant again. This time, I ordered something I knew I could handle. I might even have made a friend with the waiter.
- 8:00 PM ONWARDS: Packing: The dread is starting to creep in. Leaving soon. But at least I have a suitcase full of memories (and souvenirs, some of which I'm pretty sure I'll never use).
Overall Reflection:
This trip was messy, imperfect, and utterly, gloriously human. Delhi is a sensory overload, a constant negotiation, and a reminder that life is a beautiful, chaotic mess. I loved it. I hated it. I wouldn't trade it for anything. And I definitely need a long nap.
Final Note: Consider this a blueprint, not a rulebook. Adjust, adapt, and embrace the chaos. And for the love of all that is holy, pack enough socks.

Escape to Paradise: OYO Tree House New Delhi & NCR - Your Dream Getaway Awaits! (Maybe?) - FAQ's... or Actually, More Like My Ramblings After Staying There
So, is this Tree House thing actually... you know... *in* a tree?
Okay, let's be honest. This was my *primary* concern. My inner child envisioned a Swiss Family Robinson situation. Turns out, no. It's *inspired* by a treehouse. Think... a charming cottage pretending to be a treehouse. Think... maybe a tree *adjacent* house. The website photos are *very* flattering. But hey, who am I to judge? They deliver on the "cozy" factor for sure. My first thought was, "Well, this isn't a *literal* treehouse, but whatever, I still brought the marshmallows!"
What's the *vibe*? Is it romantic, family-friendly, or "avoid at all costs"? (Be honest!)
Okay, REAL talk. It depends on your expectations. Romantic? Potentially, if you're easily charmed and don't mind sharing candle-lit dinners with the resident geckos (who are surprisingly clean, by the way). Family-friendly? Yep! Lots of green space, a playground, and a vibe that screams "leave your worries at the gate!" It's more "relaxed bohemian chic" than "formal five-star glitz." I'd say it's a solid "good" and "would do again" for the family-friendly vibe. My kids loved it. They felt like they were getting away with something staying in the tree house.
But... and here's where it gets interesting... Avoid at all costs? Absolutely not! It's quirky, and it feels like a *real* place, not some sterile hotel room. There's *personality* – which, let's be honest, is something a lot of places lack. I mean... they don't *always* have perfectly matching towels, but who cares?
How's the food? Because, you know, all that tree climbing works up an appetite.
Alright, let's get to the important stuff: the grub. The in-house restaurant... well, let's call it "rustic." Don't expect Michelin star cuisine, but the food is prepared with care and is actually pretty good. I had this amazing butter chicken one night that was out of this world. And look, after a day of, like, *pretending* to be adventurous (you know, walking around the grounds), you're gonna appreciate the convenience. The breakfast buffet? Standard fare, but hey, free coffee, and the pancakes were pretty decent. My kids went crazy for the cereal section. Their definition of "amazing" is probably different than mine, though.
Is it clean? Because nobody wants to share a treehouse with creepy crawlies.
This is the big one, isn't it? Let's be real, it's not a five-star hotel, but it was adequately clean. The rooms were generally tidy, and the staff seemed to care. There *was* a slightly damp smell in my room, but I think that's just the nature of the beast… or, the treehouse. It's surrounded by nature, people! Expect some bugs. I personally, saw one little ant, which seemed to be my cue to let them know that I was aware of their presence. The bathroom was decent, and the sheets were fresh. I give it a solid 7/10 on the cleanliness scale.
What's nearby? Do I need a car to escape this "escape"?
Okay, so it's not like smack-bang in the middle of Delhi's bustling chaos. It's a bit of a retreat. You'll need a car or some sort of transport to get around. Think of it as a good excuse to get away from everyone. The good thing is that it's not a crazy drive, so you don't have to sit in traffic for 48 hours to get there. There's some local markets around, but honestly, you're probably there *because* you want to be away from all that stuff. Think of it like a base camp for a different kind of adventure... a relaxed one, perhaps with some board games, and maybe a bit of Netflix.
I actually spent a whole day relaxing (i.e., napping) in a hammock on the grounds. Pure bliss. That's the real selling point for me! No need to go anywhere!
Seriously though, what was the *best* thing about the whole experience?
This is easy! The *peace and quiet*. No constant honking of horns, no overwhelming crowds, just the sound of... well, some birds and rustling leaves. I actually got to read a whole book from start to finish. Can you imagine? That's a feat in itself these days. And there's a real sense of detachment from the rat race. Felt amazing to switch off completely.
And the worst? Be brutally honest!
Okay, the internet. It was a bit... spotty. Like, dial-up spotty sometimes. Which, honestly, was also kind of amazing. Forced digital detox! But if you NEED to be connected 24/7 for work... well, maybe bring a massive mobile data plan. Also, the air conditioning in my room could be a bit unpredictable – fluctuating between arctic chill and balmy tropical conditions. Bring a blanket and a light sweater, just in case.
Would you go back?
Absolutely! I would. I'm already planning my next trip. It's not perfect, but that's part of the charm. It's a place where you can truly unwind and reconnect with yourself (and maybe the geckos!). Plus, the butter chicken... I'm still dreaming about it. I think I might need another dose...
