Luxury Townhouses in Delhi NCR: Parth Residency Awaits!
Parth Residency Awaits… Or Does It? A Delhi NCR Townhouse Review That Actually Feels Real (And Maybe a Little Messy)
Okay, folks, buckle up. I’m back from a recent stay at Parth Residency, those "Luxury Townhouses" touted all over Delhi NCR. And let me tell you, getting through this review is going to be like navigating those Delhi traffic jams – unpredictable and, at times, utterly baffling. But hey, it's going to be honest, even if it's a bit all over the place.
First Impressions (and the Initial Panic):
The website promised glamour. Realistically? The entrance was a little… underwhelming. Like, “Oh, that’s it?” kind of underwhelming. But then you’re greeted by a massive gate, and I had a genuine (and brief) moment of thinking I was in a Bollywood movie. Seriously, the security was tight. Cameras everywhere. Makes you feel safe, right? Or paranoid. I flip-flopped between the two states for the entire trip.
Accessibility, the Real Deal:
Let's get practical. Accessibility is important. Did Parth Residency deliver? Well… the website says they have facilities for disabled guests, but I can't really speak to the experience firsthand. The general layout seemed okay, with an elevator (yay!), but without experiencing it, I can't give a truly informed opinion. They do have a 24-hour front desk, which is excellent. And they mention "facilities for disabled guests" but it would be nice to have more specifics.
The Room: My Personal Sanctuary (Mostly):
Okay, let’s talk about the room. It was… nice. Clean, certainly. Air conditioning blasted like a winter storm (a lifesaver in Delhi’s heat, let me tell you). The bed? Big. Comfy. I almost didn’t want to leave it (more on that later). There were the usual suspects: a mini-bar (which, predictably, I raided), a safe (never used it—I’m a terrible hoarder of knick-knacks), and a "laptop workspace" (which I mostly used to endlessly scroll through Instagram).
- The Downside: The lighting was a bit… harsh. Like, interrogation-room harsh. And the internet access, despite the "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" promise, was a bit spotty in certain parts of the room. I had to huddle by the window at times to get a decent signal. Annoying, especially when you need to get some work done (or, you know, watch cat videos).
- The Bonus: They had bathrobes. And slippers. Crucial for ultimate in-room lounging.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (of Sorts):
The dining situation was… mixed. They have restaurants (plural!), including a "Vegetarian restaurant" (a must-have in India, right?). The "Asian cuisine" was decent. Not Michelin-star worthy, but perfectly fine for satisfying a craving. And the "Western cuisine"? Well, it was a bit… basic. Think chicken nuggets and fries. But hey, sometimes that’s what you need after a day of navigating Delhi's chaos, right?
- The Good: The breakfast buffet was… epic. (Okay, maybe not epic, but definitely plentiful.) They had everything from Indian breakfast staples to Western options, and the coffee was actually quite good. I particularly loved the masala chai.
- The Not-So-Good: The pool-side bar was more "pool-adjacent" than "pool-side." The drinks were okay but expensive. And I only saw it being used once - by a guy who looked like he was on a business trip and was probably judging me. I guess I would too if I was stuck in a business trip and forced to do a review.
- The Quirky: I swear one of the waiters kept giving me side eye every time I went back for seconds at the buffet. Was I being too gluttonous? Maybe. Did I care? Probably not.
Things to Do (And My Lack of Doing Them):
This is where I fell down a bit. Parth Residency has a ton of amenities: a fitness center (I saw it, I didn't use it), a spa (tempting!), a sauna (I imagined myself sweating away the Delhi pollution), and even a pool with a view (probably the most picturesque part of the whole set up, but I didn't have an opportunity to swim). They mentioned something about "body wraps and scrubs," but I, alas, have the luxury of not caring about that for now.
- The "I Regret It" Section: I really, really wish I'd gone to the spa. My shoulders were tight from jet lag and the stressful business travel. Next time, for sure.
Cleanliness and Safety: The New Normal:
Parth Residency seems to be taking COVID-19 precautions seriously. There was hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff were masked up. They used “anti-viral cleaning products” and mentioned things like “daily disinfection in common areas” and "rooms sanitized between stays," and it's good to know that "staff [were] trained in safety protocol."
- The Skeptic in Me: I'm always a little skeptical about these things, but the place felt clean. Really clean. Which is a big plus.
- The Complainer in Me: I still wish they had a good quality air filter in the rooms. Delhi air is rough.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter:
They offered all the usual services: laundry, dry cleaning, room service (24-hour! A lifesaver!), and a concierge. They had a business center, a gift shop, and a convenience store (I definitely availed myself of the latter).
- The "Saved My Bacon" Moment: The 24-hour room service. Seriously, it’s a game changer when you arrive jet-lagged and starving at 2 AM. I ordered everything.
- The "Meh" Experience: I'm never a big fan of hotel gift shops - I always feel like I'm being ripped off.
The "For the Kids" Zone:
They claim to be family-friendly. There were "kids facilities" and babysitting service available, but I didn't have a kid with me to put these things to a trial by fire.
Getting Around and Overall Vibe:
The location seemed to be pretty convenient for Delhi NCR, as they had car park on-site. They offer airport transfer and taxi services, should you need them, which adds to the overall convenience.
- The Verdict: Look, Parth Residency isn't perfect. But it's a decent option for a luxury stay in Delhi NCR. It's clean, comfortable, and has enough amenities to keep you occupied (if you utilize them, unlike me). The service was generally good, the food was acceptable. I’d say it's worth considering, with the caveat that you should temper your expectations a tad. It's not quite the over-the-top luxury it promises, but it's a solid, reliable choice that I'd possibly return to. Maybe I'll actually try the sauna next time. And maybe I'll write a better review. Maybe.

Unbelievable Victorias in Byron Bay: Ewingsdale's Hidden Paradise!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average itinerary. We're not aiming for pristine, Insta-worthy perfection here. We're aiming for…real. We're burrowing into the glorious, chaotic, and utterly unforgettable experience that is New Delhi and the NCR area, based out of the hallowed halls (or hopefully not too hallowed) of the Townhouse Parth Residency. Consider this my sanity log, and an open invitation for you to judge my choices. Let's begin!
Day 1: Delhi Belly…and Beautiful Bridges (Oh, the Irony!)
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrival, Acclimatization, and a Prayer to the Gods of Stomach Comfort.
- 8:00 AM: Arrive at IGI Airport. Okay, first impressions. Humidity hits you like a warm, overenthusiastic hug. Grabbed my bag, miraculously intact! (Praise be!) The airport chaos is the real deal, a delightful symphony of shouting porters, insistent taxi drivers, and the general buzz of a city that never sleeps.
- 9:00 AM: Taxi to Townhouse Parth Residency. Praying the driver knows the way (and that I won't need to sell my kidney to pay the fare).
- 9:30 AM: Check-in, settle in the room. Ah, sweet relief. The room seems…clean enough. Found the complimentary water bottle straight away, so that's a win.
- 9:45 AM: Panic-fueled reapplication of sunscreen. I'm already sweating like a guilty politician. This is going to be a long week.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Fingers crossed it's not too spicy. Gonna try the paratha, because when in Rome…err, Delhi.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Wander around the local area. Okay, maybe a gentle stroll. Need to find a pharmacy and stock up on Pepto-Bismol. Just in case. Seriously, this is preemptive action, not a prophecy.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Qutub Minar, and a Staring Contest with a Pigeon.
- 12:00 PM: Head out to the Qutub Minar. Uber? Auto-rickshaw? Decision, decisions… Let the negotiating begin! Expecting a price that's "foreigner-friendly," which basically means "slightly elevated." I'm a sucker for history, so I'll suck it up.
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Qutub Minar. Whoa. It's…big. Photos don't do it justice. Wander around, get slightly overwhelmed by the crowds, and try not to get run over by a selfie stick wielding tourist. Managed to avoid the pigeons so far.
- 2:00 PM: Decidedly average lunch at a cafe near the Minar. Food is okay, but I suspect it's been sitting out in the sun for a bit. Feeling slightly less confident about my ability to avoid the Delhi belly.
- 3:00 PM: Spend an inordinate amount of time watching a pigeon. We had a staredown contest that I'm pretty sure I won, until a child startled me and it flew away.
- 4:00 PM: Stroll back to the hotel. Sweat is now officially running into my eyes. Consider a celebratory rest. Maybe two.
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): India Gate and a Questionable Street Food Adventure.
- 5:00 PM: Take in the India Gate. Get there just before sunset at the India Gate; it's less crowded and the light is fantastic.
- 6:00 PM: Evening stroll around India Gate area.
- 7:00 PM: Street food. Okay, here's where I might be letting my courage (and my stomach) lead me astray. Found a street food stall I want to try.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep. With crossed fingers that my digestive system doesn't stage a revolt at 3 AM.
Food Reflections: I’m already starting to realize that food is a minefield. It's delicious, it's cheap, and it's potentially…dangerous. Eating out here feels like playing a very high-stakes game of Russian roulette, except instead of a bullet, you get a day of debilitating illness. I really hope I don’t make bad choices.
Day 2: Temples, Taj Mahal Dreams (and a Taxi Drama)
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Akshardham Temple: Grand, Glorious, and Surprisingly Strict
- 8:00 AM: Wake up, (hopefully!) feeling relatively okay.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Going for something bland and familiar this time. A desperate attempt to be sensible.
- 10:00 AM: Uber it into Akshardham Temple. This place is a visual overload, prepare to be amazed.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Explore the temple grounds. It's magnificent. However, cameras and cell phones are forbidden. A little annoying, but understandable. The security is tighter than Fort Knox.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Agra Bound! (A Bit of a Mess)
- 12:00 PM: Train to Agra. I really didn’t do the right thing booking the train in advance. It was really late when I reserved my ticket.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch is the train station, and it's a chaotic.
- 1:30 PM: The train is late. I'm already stressed, and I haven't even left Delhi yet.
- 3:00 PM: Taxi arrival.
- 4:00 PM: Arrival and Check in at Agra.
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): The Taj Mahal!
- 5:00 PM: Sunset at the Taj Mahal. Now, THIS is worth the trip. I am speechless. It's even more breathtaking in person.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner, and a much-needed drink. The Taj Mahal is a lot to take in. I think I'm shell-shocked.
- 9:00 PM: Rest.
Day 3: Back to Delhi, and a Glimpse of the Modern
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Back to Delhi
- 8:00 AM: Wake up in Agra.
- 9:00 AM: Eat a quick breakfast.
- 10:00 AM: Back to Delhi with the train.
- 12:00 PM: Check-in back at Parth Residency.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lodhi Garden
- 12:30 PM: Lunch time! Grab some food somewhere.
- 1:00 PM: Taxi to Lodhi Garden.
- 2:00 PM: Lodhi Garden.
- 4:00 PM: Get ready in Lodhi Garden.
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner
- 5:00 PM: Dinner.
- 6:00 PM: Stroll around a bit.
- 8:00 PM: Go back to your hotel.
- 9:00 PM: Rest.
Day 4: Markets, Monuments, and Maybe a Mango Lassi-Induced Sugar Coma
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Markets, Markets, Everywhere!
- 8:00 AM: Wake up, feeling refreshed.
- 9:00 AM: Grab breakfast at the hotel and explore.
- 10:00 AM: Exploring the markets. It's going to get busy.
- 11:00 AM: Head back to the hotel.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Humayun's Tomb
- 1:00 PM: Lunch.
- 2:00 PM: Humayun's Tomb.
- 4:00 PM: Rest.
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Farewell Dinner
