Happy Feet Revolution: FabExpress's Delhi & NCR Foot Care Domination!
Happy Feet Revolution: FabExpress's Delhi & NCR Foot Care Domination!
Happy Feet Revolution: FabExpress - My Delhi & NCR Foot Care Domination (and I'm Still Recovering!) - A Totally Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just emerged from a whirlwind… a Happy Feet Revolution whirlwind… of FabExpress hotels in Delhi and the NCR. And let me tell you, my feet haven't been this pampered since, well, never. But before you think this is some glossy brochure review, let me be brutally honest: it wasn't all sunshine and rose petals (or, you know, perfectly pedicured toes).
Let's start with the basics, because honestly, that's what matters, right?
Accessibility & Safety: The Bare Necessities (Thankfully, They're Covered!)
First things first. I’m a travel writer, not an acrobat. So accessibility is HUGE. FabExpress generally gets a thumbs up here! Elevators? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? Listed as available, though specifics can vary by property, so always call ahead and confirm specifics if you have mobility issues.
Cleanliness & Safety: Okay, I'm a Little Obsessed
Look, post-pandemic travel has made me a clean freak. I need to know I'm not walking into a biohazard. FabExpress hits the mark. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays, hand sanitizer everywhere… It's like they understood my germaphobe anxieties perfectly. Staff trained in safety protocol? Absolutely. They go the extra mile. I saw them sterilizing equipment. The thing that really got me was the individually-wrapped food options. Genius!
My personal take: This made me feel safe. Seriously. The fact that they've got a 'Room sanitization opt-out available' is a great one in my book!
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Not Quite a Michelin Star Experience, but Definitely Satisfying
Okay, let's be real, this isn't a five-star gourmet experience. But, for what it is, it's surprisingly decent! There’s usually a basic Asian Breakfast and your standard Western Breakfast available (that's always important after a long flight). Breakfast takeaway service? Essential for those early morning adventures. The coffee shop was a lifesaver. I’m looking at you, jet lag.
I took advantage of the 24-hour Room service on a particularly lazy day, and the salad in restaurant hit the spot. The bar isn't swanky, but it served its purpose… a post-sightseeing sigh and a well-deserved cocktail. Just don't expect a mixologist.
The imperfections here were minor. I had high expectations for the Asian cuisine, and admittedly, this wasn't the authentic experience.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make Life Easier
FabExpress understands a traveler's needs. Cash withdrawal? Check. Concierge? Helpful. Daily housekeeping? Wonderful. Laundry service? Bless them! Luggage storage? Essential. The big one? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually worked. You know how precious that is! They have Air conditioning in public area, and Currency exchange as well.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Ah, The Happy Feet Part! (And This Is Where Things Get Interesting…)
Okay, here's the piece de resistance, the Happy Feet Revolution promised in the name. I experienced this firsthand, so I'm a convert of their Foot Care.. The foot bath… Oh. My. God. It was heavenly. Afterwards, I had a massage and a foot bath. Let's just say my feet hadn't felt this relaxed since… well, ever. They literally melted into the massage table.
I actually got to experience the Fitness Center, and it was well-equipped, even though I didn't fully utilize the gym and fitness. A dip in the Swimming pool [outdoor], was refreshing to cool down in.
I would give this an ideal score.
Rooms: Okay, Let's Talk About the Details
The rooms themselves are simple, clean, and functional. You'll find all the basics: air conditioning, a coffee/tea maker, a desk (essential for us writers!), and a safe box. My particular room had blackout curtains (thank you, sleep gods!). Free Wi-Fi was reliable.
I actually had a room assigned to the non-smoking rooms and it felt so fresh and clean.
Where the Imperfections popped out
The imperfection here was that I didn’t manage to book a couple's room. Oh well. I could have used that romantic getaway.
Getting Around: Stress-Free Travel is Possible!
Airport transfer? Yes, please! Car park [free of charge]? Another win! They had taxi service as well. Getting around was surprisingly easy.
For the Kids:
I don't travel with kids, but I've got friends who swear by the presence of Babysitting service and family friendly environment.
The Quirky Observations & Honest Gripes
- One hotel had a surprisingly loud air conditioner. But, you know what? It was overshadowed by a great experience at the spa.
- The decor is… functional. Don't expect interior design awards. It's all about the basics covered and your comfort.
- I'm pretty sure I saw someone trying to sneak a buffet breakfast into their room. (Don't judge, we've all been there).

Escape to Paradise: Primorie Grand Resort's 5-Star Luxury Awaits in Gelendzhik!
Alright, buckle up, buttercup! This ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is a messy, fabulous, slightly-off-kilter dive into the chaotic, beautiful heart of Delhi, all based from my supposed haven, FabExpress Happy Feet in the glorious, yet slightly questionable, NCR (National Capital Region). Prepare for a rollercoaster.
Week's Game Plan: Delhi Belly and Beyond (and Maybe a Vomit Comet)
Day 1: Arrival and Initial Panic
7:00 AM (ish) - Arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL): Okay, so flights rarely land exactly on time, but whatever. I'm thinking, "Delhi! Freedom! Butter chicken!" My perfectly color-coded packing cubes are already a little… wonky.
7:30 AM - 9:00 AM - Border Patrol and the Great Luggage Scramble: This is when everything starts falling apart. Why is it always a madhouse at the airport? Long lines, everyone pushing and shoving and me, internally screaming about my lost passport and the impending doom that is customs. Finally, I snag my (slightly battered) suitcase. Success!
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - The Uber Apocalypse: Finding an Uber is basically the Hunger Games. The app glitches, the drivers cancel, and the touts descend like vultures. Eventually, exhausted but triumphant (and slightly sweaty), I finally find my chariot to FabExpress Happy Feet. Hopefully, it's actually a happy place.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM - Check-in and Initial Assessment: Okay, the lobby is… fine. Cleanish. There's a guy in a t-shirt reading news, a dog snuffling around, and a faint smell of… incense? Okay, I can handle it. Check-in is relatively painless. My room? Well, let’s just say, the photos online (or so I think I saw) were extremely generous. But the AC works! And after the airport madness, I have never been so grateful for a cold room.
- (Rambling Time): I spend a good 60 minutes collapsing on the bed. The urge to sleep is strong. Very strong. But NO! I gotta start exploring. I swear, if I go to sleep now, the jet lag will consume me!
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM - First Meal Debacle: I'm famished. Time for the first real Delhi experience. I was planning on going to the street food. Now, because it's what I do, I did my research. Apparently, the street food is notorious for Delhi belly. I am going to try and be cautious, but it is hard to not crave the spicy food. I find a cafe nearby that serves something that looks safe enough. The food is (so far) delicious.
- (My thoughts): The food is, I must admit, incredible. The spices are bold, and the flavors explode in my mouth. I feel like I am transported to another world. I need to be careful.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Attempted Sightseeing (The Red Fort Fiasco): I thought the Red Fort would be a great cultural experience. I take a rickshaw. The driver starts yelling at me and I start yelling back. The entrance is a swarm of people. The heat is oppressive. The crowds are suffocating. I manage to get a couple of decent photos and then, well, I have to retreat. Sensory overload. I have to get out of here. Maybe tomorrow.
- (Quirky Observation): One kid was selling balloons shaped like cartoon characters I didn’t even recognize, shouting, "Get your balloons!" It was strangely comforting. He was totally rocking the chaos.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Back to Happy Feet (and Regret): I retreat to the hotel. I go to the bar. Regret? Nope. I needed this. I order a beer and spend the time deciding if I'm going to venture out to dinner.
Day 2: Delving Deeper (and Dealing with the Heat)
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Breakfast at the Hotel: Oh, the hotel breakfast. The usual. Some undercooked eggs, toast that tastes like cardboard, and a questionable selection of fruit. I'm not sure what to expect from Delhi.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Humayun's Tomb: I try for some culture. I venture out. This experience is vastly different than yesterday. The surroundings are serene. The architecture is stunning. I even see a squirrel. I take pictures, I marvel the beauty of it all. I spend a good 2 hours here, feeling a sense of peace I didn't know I was missing.
- (Emotional Reaction): The Tomb is breathtaking. The symmetry. The artistry. For a moment, I feel like I'm actually connecting with something real.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Street Food Adventure (The Risk): I'm going for it. I've heard about Chandni Chowk. I find myself wandering through crowded alleys. I try gol gappe (I don't know what I'm trying, but I'm trying it). My stomach does a nervous flip. It tastes amazing! I try some chhole bhature (spicy chickpeas with fried bread). This is the moment I am sure I am going to regret. My stomach growls a little.
- (Messy Structure): The air is thick with the smell of spices, exhaust fumes, and something else I can't quite identify. It's intoxicating. I'm simultaneously terrified and elated.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Afternoon Nap: After the Street food, back to the hotel. I sleep like someone who hasn't slept in three days. It is the best sleep of my life.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Evening Outing (A Near-Miss): I decide to have a relaxing dinner. I am so happy. Things are okay. I go to the park. I sit down. A dog comes up to me. I don't like dogs. However, the dog is friendly. I start petting him. The dog starts barking towards a man. The guy looks at me, smiles, and says something in Hindi. I have no idea what he said, but my heart is racing.
Day 3: Holy Cow and Broken Dreams
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Breakfast… Again: I wonder if I can survive another hotel breakfast. I eat a little.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Exploring the Temples - Akshardham: I visit the temple. The architecture is overwhelming. I see so many people. It's amazing.
- (Stronger Emotional Reactions): The level of detail on the temple is insane. The craftsmanship is stunning. The sheer number of people is dizzying, but even that is part of the experience.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Lunch in the Area… I find a random place to eat. I am trying to be healthy. I eat… well, something. Mostly rice.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - The Great Train Adventure (Attempted): I had this grand plan to take a train to Agra. But… they're all booked. Or delayed. Or cancelled. Apparently, it’s a whole thing. I end up giving up.
- (Rambling Time): Seriously, the train system is a logistical nightmare. I get lost, confused, and almost have a breakdown. I was so excited to see the Taj Mahal, the iconic photo of love and beauty…
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM - The Great Train Adventure (Failed): My heart has sunk. I make my way back to the hotel. I am annoyed.
Day 4: Rewind and Refocus
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Breakfast: The usual. Eggs, toast, and fruit.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Finding Peace: I spend a while in my room. I have to recharge.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Exploring the markets: I was told about the markets. I go to the markets. There are so many items. I want to buy them all.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Lunch: I went to a restaurant. I had an amazing meal. I don't know the name of it, but I am happy.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM - The hotel: Back to the hotel. I am happy.
Day 5: Departure and Reflections
- **9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Packing and panic about the "What if's"
Happy Feet Revolution: FabExpress's Delhi & NCR Foot Care Domination - Or, You Know, What They *Say*! (A Messy, Honest Q&A)
Okay, so what even *is* the Happy Feet Revolution? Is it like... a political movement for toes?
Hah! Nope, no toe-nail revolutions (yet!). It's FabExpress's attempt to, and I quote, "dominate the foot care landscape in Delhi & NCR!" Basically, they're offering foot massages, pedicures, and related services at various hotels. They plaster it all over their website with these super-slick photos of perfectly pedicured feet. Makes you think... are *my* feet ever going to look that good? Deep, man, deep thoughts.
Sounds good, but is it actually *good*? Like, worth the, uh, foot-folding-onto-money-giving?
Okay, *this* is where it gets... messy. See, I went with high expectations after seeing those pics. My poor dogs were screaming after a week of tramping around Old Delhi. The service was at the FabExpress where I crash during work, so convenience points, right? Well... The first time? Meh. My masseuse, bless her heart, seemed a bit like she was learning on the job. She was sweet, but I spent half the massage just wincing, hoping I wasn't going to lose a toenail. My feet didn't feel *bad*, necessarily, but they weren't magically transformed like the website promised. It was more like a... gentle suggestion of relaxation. Definitely not the "foot care domination" I was expecting. I remember whispering, "Is this it?", almost under my breath.
Wait, so it's a gamble? Should I just stick to the local *chaiwallah* offering foot rubs in the park?
Whoa, hold up! No, not *that* bad. Look, the *concept* is good. A professional foot massage in a hotel room? Amazing! I went back a second time, hoping I'd just had a fluke experience. And that time? Much, much better. Different masseuse, and she *knew* what she was doing. She worked out knots I didn't even *know* I had! I almost… I almost fell asleep! Pure bliss. Like a cloud of jasmine and… well, maybe a little bit of foot-smell, let's be honest. But a *good* foot smell, the post-massage kind. See, that second time totally changed my mind. Still, a certain amount of luck seems involved. It’s like a lottery ticket, for your feet.
Okay, but what about cleanliness? I'm a germaphobe (sort of).
This. This is important. Honestly, in the first appointment thing felt... a bit off to me. The tools didn’t look *sparkling* new. And I'm not gonna lie, it set my internal alarm bells ringing. But the second time? The tools looked good. Seriously good. Sterile-ish, I think? They were cleaning and sanitizing everything between clients. So, score one for FabExpress. That said, I'm still keeping a bottle of hand sanitizer permanently glued to my side. Can't be too careful! I mean, you're putting your feet in someone else's hands...literally. You're trusting them with your most important tools for getting you around! Food for thought... and maybe a foot bath when you're done, just in case.
What kind of treatments do they offer? Just foot massages?
No, it's more than just massages! They have pedicures (the perfect pedicure, according to the website, but I'm not sure if I would go that far), foot scrubs, and, from what I recall, some reflexology-adjacent stuff. They also have add-ons like aromatherapy... which the second time felt HEAVENLY! They seem to be expanding their menu. I'd love to see a "stubborn toenail removal" add-on option sometime. Speaking of which, I chipped mine again yesterday... the struggle is real.
Is it expensive? I’m on a budget (or, let's be real, broke).
Compared to some swanky spa experiences? No, it's not *ridiculously* expensive. But it's not dirt cheap either. It definitely feels like a treat, not a necessity. A foot massage probably won't break the bank, but the whole shebang – the works, with all the extras – will set you back a bit. Check the prices on the FabExpress website for details. And remember, quality *can* vary, so consider that when deciding whether you're willing to splurge. Might be worth it, for your feet's sake. After all, they carry you through life!
What if I HATE it? Do I have to tip?
Ugh, that's the worst, isn't it? If you truly hate it, try to be polite but firm. I haven't had to deal with hating it, thank goodness! The polite-but-firm approach is your friend. As for tipping... it's customary! Even if it's just a little bit. I usually tip based on the service I get. If my feet are feeling like fluffy clouds afterwards? Generous tip! If I'm limping out of the room… well, let's just say my generosity diminishes accordingly. And, you know, maybe a sympathetic apology. Look, it's awkward all around, but it can be a lot less awkward if you manage your own expectations.
Final verdict? Would you recommend Happy Feet Revolution?
Okay, here's the messy, honest truth. It feels like a gamble. The *potential*? AMAZING! The second time was a complete YES! I would do it again, and probably will. But, go in with your eyes open. Be prepared for a maybe-not-perfect experience. Manage those expectations. I’d suggest reading reviews, if you can find any, and definitely look at what they offer. If foot care is a big thing for you, then yes, go for it! It's a convenient and potentially rewarding experience. But the "foot care domination"? Not quite. Maybe "foot care improvement," with a little bit of foot-based luck. And definitely always keep your expectations... well, grounded. (See what I did there?)
