From The Boys In Room 29

Raymond, Lachie, Leo, Aaron

Over the past four days, we have all had the immense pleasure of being treated to the soothing comforts of Hotel Namaskar. No expense has been spared in this homely haven, leading us to feel compelled to share our glowing reviews with the reader (for some reason, it does not feature on Lonely Planet).

There is an immediate appeal as you walk into the rooms. After 15 attempts to hit the correct light switch, you are welcomed by the playful pink paintwork around the walls, topped off with a lick of glossy white on the ceiling. Whilst perhaps slightly stained, the marble appearance of the floor tiles gives a sense of unparalleled luxury, and at the same time provided us with a rock solid surface to manoeuvre across. As a testament to the hotel's commitment to customer comfort, we were treated to the serene sound of our own personal water feature- an array of leaky taps in our bathroom. Better still, multitasking has never been easier as now you can shower while seated on the throne, whilst viewing a contemporary approach to the now popular, living wall concept- black mould. 

As a valued guest, your security needs are highly prioritised. The hotel is a world leader in door locking technology; what at first glance may appear to be a common simple door knob lock, is in fact an impenetrable device that neither the correct room key nor the meticulous handwork of Mr Jordan himself could breach. Only the cutting edge equipment of the hotel manager's screw driver and hammer were able to grant passage. As an added bonus, you can enjoy feeling even more secure due to the ability for one to easily lock you in your own room by the simple action of sliding a bolt. Due to the same mechanism, a similar sense of safety can be achieved in the bathrooms that have locks on either side of the door.

Furthermore, the architecture of the hotel puts the likes of the SkyTower to shame. Multiple skywalks, precarious cut outs in the floor, 0.5mX2m in size, partially covered by thin steel rods, can be found on all floor levels giving an unrivalled view of the floor below. 

However, by far the favourite feature of the boys, would have to be the, shall we say, idiosyncratic wake up call. Unlike the past, where this "privilege" (as quoted by Mr Jordan) has been reserved to the staff, we have been treated to the blissful harmony of a Hare Krishna procession with cymbals, drums and a loudspeaker. The selflessness and dedication of these enthusiastic locals every morning, has ensured that the group has not accidentally overslept past 5am. We salute you. 

Obviously, we have thoroughly enjoyed our wondrous stay at the magnificent Hotel Namaskar and we highly recommend this hidden gem for any weary traveller looking for a homely oasis amongst the chaos of Delhi. 

.......

Yeah right.
