Escape to Paradise: Hotel O Big Tree's Delhi Oasis Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the "Delhi Oasis" – Hotel O Big Tree. Forget sleek brochures and generic hotel reviews, this is the real deal. This is about escaping, about needing to escape, and whether this place actually delivers on that promise. Let's get messy, shall we?
First off, Accessibility. Look, I’m no accessibility expert, but I did notice a lift (elevator, for the less-fancy folks). Always a good sign. Didn't see any specific details about ramps or accessible rooms, but I'd suggest calling ahead if you need specifics. Wheelchair Accessible? Well, from what I saw, potentially, but DOUBLE CHECK. Don’t wanna be carrying anyone up, you know?
Okay, Cleanliness and Safety… This is HUGE, guys, especially post-pandemic world. I'm a total germaphobe (don't judge!), So the fact they boast about Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas gave me a teeny bit of peace of mind. They also have hand sanitizer everywhere, which… bless them. Rooms sanitized between stays? Yes, please! Seeing Staff trained in safety protocol actually doing the things? Bonus points. Individually-wrapped food options were a nice touch – less communal nibbling, more you-time nibbling. They also have a Doctor/nurse on call which, again, a huge plus. First aid kit is there. I didn’t see them using a Sterilizing equipment, but at least they are trying!
Now, let's get REAL. Dining, drinking, and snacking. Listen, the food is… complicated. They say Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant. Don't go expecting Michelin stars. The buffet breakfast? Hit or miss, depending on the day. One day, the croissants were magical, the next, they felt like hockey pucks. (Serious emotional reaction there!). They have Coffee shop, which is a necessity, and Poolside bar, which is essential. Got a Vegetarian restaurant so no problem there. Also, Breakfast in room is available!
I found the Room service [24-hour] to be a lifesaver at 3 AM when I got a craving for a weird sandwich. The Snack bar is good for quickly grabbing a snack.
The Pool with view? That’s where the magic happens. Seriously. After a day of Delhi chaos, just staring out over that pool, watching the sunset… pure bliss. (Strong positive emotional reaction!) They also offer a Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. So you can really get in with it and relax.
Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Okay, finally, a modern hotel. There is a Wi-Fi for special events as well.
Things to do, ways to relax. They have a Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. Okay, I'm starting to see the "Oasis" part come through. They have a Body scrub and a Body wrap, which I haven’t tried but seem pretty cool. Seriously considering that when I go back.
Services and conveniences. They have a **Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace. *Cash withdrawal*. That's all standard stuff, but appreciated, of course. Now, here's where it gets interesting. They have a *Convenience store*. That means I could get my daily stash of chocolate (important!). They have a *Gift/souvenir shop* in case you want to buy something to remember your stay. The Car park [free of charge]. is a huge plus.
Rooms Sanitisation Opt-Out Available? Well I think it depends on the case.
For the kids, Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. They've thought of the little ones! Babysitting service is available which is nice for parents.
Getting around. Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. This is helpful because navigating Delhi traffic is a whole Olympic sport. The Car park [free of charge] is also a plus.
Available in all rooms. They have all the necessary stuff: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
Now, let’s talk about the rooms… They're clean, comfortable, and the blackout curtains are a godsend in a city that never sleeps and the air conditioning is what keeps you alive. The bed? Honestly, I slept like a log. (Okay, maybe after a few glasses of wine at the poolside bar.) The Wi-Fi [free]? Worked perfectly fine.
Quirky Observations or Emotional Reactions
The lobby decor is… interesting. Let's call it "eclectic." There are sculptures that I think are supposed to be art, but I couldn’t quite figure out. Don't overthink it - just enjoy the chaos!
The Imperfection
One minor thing: the bathroom in my first room had a leaky faucet. I told them and they fixed it immediately. (Great service, really!)
The Anecdote
I remember one evening, I was sitting at the poolside bar, utterly exhausted from a day of sightseeing. The bartender, a lovely woman named Priya, noticed I was struggling. She made me a drink – I don’t know what was in it, but it was delicious, and suddenly, everything felt… right. It felt like escape.
So, is Hotel O Big Tree an "Escape to Paradise?"
Look, it's not perfect. Nothing is. But it delivers on the core promise: a haven from the Delhi hustle. It's clean, it's comfortable, and the pool is pure gold.

Hotel: O Big Tree, Delhi NCR – Pray for Me? (Or, You Know, Just Wish Me Well)
(Actual start date is, like, a week away. Anxiety levels: Caffeinated Squirrel.)
Day 1: Arrival & The Delhi Deep Dive (aka, How Quickly Will I Get Lost?)
Morning (7:00 AM - The Dreaded Wake-Up): Ugh, alarm. Need coffee. Lots of coffee. Pray the flight isn't delayed. Also, pray I can actually find the damn hotel once I land. I've heard Delhi is like a vibrant, chaotic beehive. My sense of direction is… well, let's just say I once got lost inside a grocery store. In my home town, Population 2000.
- Key Imperfection Spot: I fully expect to forget something crucial – passport, phone charger, sanity… all of it.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - Touchdown and Total Overwhelm): Land, deal with customs (hopefully without looking like a complete idiot), and grab an Uber to the O Big Tree. Pray it's easy to find. Google Maps, don't fail me now! I'm picturing myself, luggage in tow, hopelessly lost and begging for directions in broken Hindi. (My Hindi is nonexistent, by the way.)
- Quirky Observation: Wonder if there's a "Lost Tourist" section in the Delhi airport. Maybe offer them some tea?
Afternoon (3:00 PM - Hotel Check-In and Initial Panic Assessment): Okay, check in. Dump luggage. Collapse on the bed. Assess the situation. Is the room clean? Does the AC work? Crucial questions. I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to temperature, I admit. If it's scorching, I'm a puddle of grumpy.
- Emotional Reaction: If the room is a disaster zone, I will quietly weep. If it's clean and comfy, I might actually gasp with joy. Small victories, people.
Afternoon (4:00 PM - First Delhi Immersion Attempt): Armed with a map (and a death wish, probably), I'll venture out for my first taste of Delhi. I’m thinking… maybe a quick stroll to wherever the nearest famous temple is. I’m gonna grab a rickshaw – wish me luck. Hopefully, the driver doesn’t think I’m a total sucker and overcharge me like crazy.
- Messier Structure Rambling: My initial plan of a visit to the Hauz Khas Village, for it's cafes and shops. I hope I get to see some of the graffiti artists. It's suppose to be quite a vibe. But, honestly, I'm already feeling like I might need to reschedule and just sit in the hotel room with room service at this point.
Evening (7:00 PM - Food Glorious Food (and Maybe a Food Poisoning Scare)): Dinner at a local restaurant. I’m aiming for something recommended by the hotel. I'm thinking butter chicken. Because, duh. But I'm also a HUGE wuss when it comes to anything spicier than a green bean, so I'll have to remind them about setting off my taste buds. Prepare myself for a minor stomach drama/adrenaline rush.
- Opinionated Language: Seriously, if I see another bland, pre-made meal marketed as "authentic," I'm going to scream.
Evening (9:00 PM - Sleep, Possibly, or Just Stare at the Ceiling): Crash. Pray for no jet lag monster. Pray for sweet, sweet sleep. And pray I don't have any stomach troubles. Ugh.
Day 2: Exploring the Treasures - The Messy Bits (aka, Monuments and Mental Breakdowns?)
Morning (9:00 AM - The Red Fort & the Burden of History): Okay, time to be a tourist. I want to see the Red Fort. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, and I’m already intimidated. I also imagine it’ll be a swarm of people. I'm going to need coffee before I go, for sure.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: History can be overwhelming. I expect to be moved, maybe even a bit crushed.
Late Morning (11:00 AM - Qutub Minar & the Blistering Sun): Another monument! This one is even taller, and, I think, even more crowded. I’m already sweating just thinking about it. Sunscreen. Hat. Water. Repeat.
- Quirky Observation: I bet pigeons will be everywhere, and I will definitely avoid them.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - Lunch… Possibly Ill-Advised): Lunch at a… something? I'll probably ask the closest vendor. Or grab a snack. Or hide. The options are endless.
- Messier Structure Rambling: Ok, so I've heard street food in Delhi is a culinary adventure, but also a gamble. I will try to think positive, but I'm still pretty scared. I will have to play it by ear and be very, very careful.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - Humayun's Tomb & Serenity Search): I'm hoping Humayun's Tomb will be less crowded than the others. Maybe I can finally find some peace there. Please let this happen.
- Opinionated Language: This is a good time for a little break from the hustle and bustle.
Evening (6:00 PM - Shopping & The Art of Haggling (or, Getting Fleeced)): Time for some markets – some shopping! I'm terrible at haggling, but I WILL try. I expect to get completely ripped off. But, hey, souvenirs! If I don't get haggling right, I should visit a luxury place.
- Real-sounding anecdote and imperfections A local shopkeeper got me to buy two scarves that I didn't need, and I still think he may have gotten me to overspend.
Evening (8:00 PM - Dinner and Contemplating My Existence): Dinner, maybe at a restaurant I'm not desperately afraid of. Reflect on my day. Wonder if I'll survive the week. Probably order room service. I don't judge myself.
- Emotional Reaction: I can feel my exhaustion creeping in… and also a quiet sense of awe. This city is intense.
Night (10:00 PM - Bedtime. Seriously, Just Bedtime): Sleep, or at least flop into bed and stare at the ceiling.
Day 3: A Day of Rest? (Hah!) & The Taj Mahal… (Eventually?!?)
Morning (9:00 AM - Recover & Reassess): Breakfast at the O Big Tree. Probably scrambled eggs. Maybe a desperate call to room service for coffee.
- Quirky Observation: What kind of eggs do they make? I hope they are cooked properly and are not weird.
Late Morning (10:00 AM - The Planned (and Unlikely) Agra Trip): Okay, I know this is ambitious, but I am considering a day trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. I will need guides and drivers, and there is a lot of driving. It will be a massive time suck. And the crowds… ugh.
- Messier Structure Rambling & Opinionated Language: If it looks bad, I might just cancel it. I don't want to ruin the experience and it's likely I'll start losing my sanity.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - Lunch… Whatever): Food again. I'll need more coffee.
- Real-sounding anecdote and imperfections The last time I wanted to visit, I got food poisoning the week before so I couldn't make it.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - The Taj Mahal Adventure… Maybe): Decide whether Agra is worth it. If yes, get ready for a frantic dash. If no, spend the rest of the day relaxing, eating samosas, and trying to recover from it all.
Evening (7:00 PM - Dinner and a Quiet Evening): If Agra, collapse and eat. If not, eat and celebrate my avoidance of a 6-hour roundtrip drive!
Night (10:00 PM - In bed… or maybe not…): Sleep (hopefully). or order a pizza and watch TV. I might also look for any more places I'd like to visit.
Day 4: Delhi Revisited & Hidden Gems
- Morning (9:00 AM - A New Day): Finally, a new day! I'm gonna treat myself to the hotel restaurant, which I heard from the hotel staff is delicious: the buffet!
Escape to Paradise: Hotel O Big Tree's Delhi Oasis Awaits! (Or, My Brain's Trying to Find Paradise, Seriously)
Okay, so "Delhi Oasis"? Really? Is it... you know... *actually* an oasis? Because Delhi... dust, traffic... you get the picture.
Alright, look. I came in with *seriously* lowered expectations. Delhi, as you said, isn't exactly synonymous with serenity. More like… controlled chaos with a side of honking madness. But, the marketing team for Hotel O Big Tree? They're either geniuses or master gaslighters. Honestly, the oasis thing? Kinda works. I mean, it's not *literally* a natural spring popping up amid the Red Fort, but the moment you walk through the gates, it's like… *whoosh*. The noise levels drop by about 80 decibels. Lush greenery, a surprisingly cool breeze (even in May!), and the air… well, it smells of something other than exhaust fumes. So, yeah, a mental oasis? Absolutely. A proper, desert-mirage-style oasis? Let's call it a generous interpretation. But hey, I'll take it!
The Rooms! Spill the tea. Were they actually… clean? (Please say yes. My sanitary OCD is already flaring up.)
Alright, deep breaths. Okay, the rooms. They *were* clean. Mostly. Look, I'm a firm believer in the "inspect everything" school of hotel-room arrival. I'm talking under the beds, behind the curtains, the *inside* of the kettle (you never know!). Honestly, the Big Tree passed the initial inspection. But, and this is a *but* the size of the Taj Mahal... the devil is in the details. The grout in the bathroom could use a good scrubbing (minor, I survived), and that ONE tiny stain on the duvet? I spent a solid five minutes staring at it, debating if it was a blood stain (probably not, I swear). But overall? They were comfortable, well-appointed (the AC worked!! Praise be!), and relatively spotless. I slept soundly, which considering I'm a light sleeper and usually wake up at the slightest creak, is a HUGE win.
Let's talk food. I'm a foodie, and I'm *hangry* just THINKING about hotel food. What's the damage?
Oh, the food. Bless their little hearts (and the chefs!). It's… *decent*. Look, it wasn't Michelin-star quality, let's be real. But the buffet breakfast? Actually pretty good for a hotel buffet. Standard fare, you know? Paranthas (YES!), eggs made to order (thank GOD), fresh fruit (crucial!), and… the coffee! The coffee was surprisingly drinkable, which is a small miracle in itself. I ate four plates every morning. I'm not proud. The dinner restaurant I went to for a dinner after a Delhi sightseeing tour? A bit more adventurous than I usually go for but was very very good. I ordered some sort of chicken tikka masala that had me sweating, but in a good way. The service was friendly, if a little slow (Delhi time, baby!). My advice? Don’t go expecting haute cuisine, but you won’t starve. And be warned, the portions are generous. Very, very generous.
The Pool! Tell me everything. Because, let's face it, that's where I'll be spending 90% of my time.
Okay, pool time! This is where the Big Tree *really* shone. Seriously. The pool was gorgeous. Sparkling blue, surrounded by lush greenery, and… (drumroll)… *empty*. Okay, not *always* empty, but compared to the chaos of Delhi, it felt wonderfully secluded. I spent HOURS floating in that pool, just soaking up the sun and pretending I was somewhere far, far away from… well, everywhere. The pool staff were great, always attentive with towels and water (essential in the Delhi heat), and the pool bar? Well, let's just say I may have sampled a few cocktails. (Okay, a LOT of cocktails. Don't judge me, it was hot!). The only minor downside? Finding a sun lounger on the weekend was a bit of a competitive sport. But hey, I'm a survivor, I always find a way, I just had to get there early. But overall? The pool was a total highlight. Pure bliss.
Any major meltdowns? Or things I *need* to know before I go? Because I prepare. I over-prepare.
Meltdowns? Oh, only the usual. My flight was delayed. I forgot my phone charger. I briefly considered running away and joining a circus. But nothing catastrophic, thankfully. But things you NEED to know:
- Traffic is a nightmare. Factor extra time for everything. Just assume you'll be late. Embrace it.
- The Wi-Fi is… erratic. Prepare to disconnect. Or invest in a super-reliable data plan.
- Bargaining is a must. Especially for taxis and souvenirs. Start low, and be prepared to walk away.
- The heat. It's intense. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen (again, crucial!), and find shade whenever possible. And learn to love air conditioning.
- The staff were incredibly helpful. If you needed anything, just ask and they will do their best. They are very patient and have a very high tolerance level.
- Embrace the chaos. Delhi is… a lot. But it's also incredibly vibrant and fascinating. Let go of your expectations and go with the flow. You’ll probably have a better time!
Okay, one more random question. Anything… *weird* happen? Any memorable moments that weren't necessarily… good?
Ah, yes. The "memorable moments." There was the incident with the monkey. It happened at a breakfast one day, and I was engrossed in my eggs, not paying attention, then this little monkey -- little as in, *possibly* a juvenile delinquent -- just *swooped* onto the table and grabbed a croissant right off my plate! I shrieked (very gracefully, I assure you), the monkey stared at me with an innocent, "What?" look, and then scampered up a nearby tree, croissant in tow. The staff apologized profusely, of course. The whole thing happened so fast, I wasn't even mad (mostly just bewildered). It was like a scene from a Bollywood movie, but with me as the slightly embarrassed extra. The staff offered to get me another croissant. I declined. My appetite had, strangely, vanished. It was a classic Delhi moment, really. Chaotic, unexpected, and ultimately hilarious. I now have a new respect for the croissant-snatching capabilities of Indian primates.
Would you go back? Honestly?
Would I go back? Absolutely. Especially to that pool. Look, the Big Tree isn't perfect. It's got its quirks, its minor imperfections, and the occasional monkey-related incident. But, it offers a much neededBackpacker Hotel Find
