Escape to Paradise: Lemon Tree Premier Patna's Luxury Awaits
Escape to Paradise: Lemon Tree Premier Patna - My Messy, Honest, & Slightly Biased Review (You've Been WARNED!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because I'm about to take you on a rollercoaster ride of my experience at Lemon Tree Premier Patna. This isn't your sanitized, perfectly packaged travel brochure review. This is raw, unfiltered, and loaded with my own brand of quirky observations and, let's be honest, a healthy dose of opinion. So, if you’re looking for a straight shot of facts, you might wanna click away right now. Seriously. Go. This is going to be messy.
First Impressions & Accessibility (The Good, The Bad, and the “Oh, Wait…”)
Right off the bat, the accessibility situation… well, it's a mixed bag. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, which is promising, and the elevator is a HUGE plus. But I'm not an expert in accessibility, and whether it truly meets everyone's needs is something you'd have to investigate more deeply. I did see a few wide hallways, which were encouraging. The exterior corridor seems safe enough, and there’s CCTV both inside and outside the property – feels like they're making an effort to keep things secure. On the plus side, the car park is free of charge and they offer valet parking! Score! (I hate hunting for parking spaces like a rabid scavenger).
Internet – My Eternal Frenemy
Let's talk internet. Essential, right? They tout Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – wireless, which is great… in theory. My experience? Well, let's just say the connection sometimes felt like it was being beamed from a tin can on a nearby rooftop. I mean, it worked… eventually. It was definitely better than zero, but don't expect to stream 4K videos without some serious buffering. There’s also Internet access – LAN, which I didn't bother with. I'm a Wi-Fi kinda girl, and sometimes, that’s enough to make you pull your hair.
Rooms: Comfort & Creature Comforts (The "Almost Perfect" Syndrome)
My room? It was… nice. Seriously, nice. The air conditioning was a godsend in the Patna heat. Blackout curtains were crucial for blocking out the sunrise (and my internal clock). They had a desk I could actually work at and lots of sockets near the bed! They did have a desk, but… let me be honest: I only ever use them for piling up snacks and random travel detritus. Still, it's there. The complimentary tea and coffee maker were a definite plus. Bathrobes and slippers? Luxury! A safe box and in-room safe… I could hide my chocolate stash in there. And the hair dryer was decent!
This is where things get a bit… personal. I'm a bathtub enthusiast. If a hotel has a bathtub, I'm THERE. Theirs was spacious. Not a jacuzzi by any means, but big enough. The shower was separate, which makes life easier. But there was one little detail. A tiny, almost imperceptible… imperfection. The water pressure. It was… okay. Not the raging torrent of cleansing bliss I crave. It was… a gentle trickle. Minor complaint, I know, but for a bath fanatic? It was a crime against relaxation. First world problems, right? I know. But it left me with a yearning… a yearning for a truly powerful shower.
Food, Glorious Food: A Culinary Safari (and My Verdict)
Now, the important stuff: food! The restaurants at Lemon Tree are plentiful and offer a good variety. There's a buffet, an A la carte in restaurant, and even vegetarian restaurants (which I always appreciate). The Asian cuisine was surprisingly good, and I did enjoy their desserts. I also made use of the room service [24-hour], because, well, sometimes you just want a burger in your pajamas. The poolside bar was a nice touch for those sunny afternoons! I didn't try the snack bar, but I made use of a bottle of water! That's essential.
Here’s a random thought: I love soup. I'm soup obsessed. So, I tried the soup. It was… fine. Perfectly edible. Not the transcendent bowl of broth that would make a tiny tear roll down your cheek. But fine.
Relaxation & Entertainment: Do Not Disturb, Please! (or, The Pool with a View That Almost Made Me Cry)
The pool with a view… that’s where I lost myself. Seriously. The view wasn’t just pretty, it was… breathtaking. I spent an afternoon just floating, staring at the Patna skyline, and letting the worries of the world melt away. It was pure, unadulterated bliss. They also have a sauna, spa, steamroom, and a gym/fitness. I did want to visit the spa, but I just couldn't summon the energy. My brain was soup, my body wanted to be soup, and the pool fulfilled both desires.
The "Things to Do" Conundrum
While the hotel itself is incredibly relaxing, and the Staff are trained in safety protocol, if you're looking for actual "things to do" outside the hotel, well, your options depend. Patna isn't exactly known for its bustling nightlife. But there is a convenience store and a gift/souvenir shop! Still, I had a great time relaxing.
Cleanliness & Safety: A Deep Dive (Post-COVID, Naturally)
I’m still super concerned about cleanliness and safety after the pandemic. Lemon Tree gets pretty high marks here. I noticed the hand sanitizer stations everywhere. Also, the reports mention sterilizing equipment, and rooms sanitized between stays. Daily disinfection in common areas, so that's good. And they have Anti-viral cleaning products plus, individually-wrapped food options. All excellent signs. Safe dining setup? Check. I felt pretty safe.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
The staff? Super friendly and helpful. I experienced the concierge, the doorman, and daily housekeeping. They had a dry cleaning and laundry service, that was a gamechanger. The currency exchange was handy. They are also offering Contactless check-in/out and cashless payment service. And they offer doctor/nurse on call.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Paradise? (My Unsolicited Opinion)
Look, Lemon Tree Premier Patna isn't perfect. The internet can be a bit dodgy. The soup? Meh. But, I had a genuinely enjoyable stay. The staff's warmth, the pool, the comfy rooms, the food… it all added up to a pretty darn good experience. And, let’s be honest, you're going to find the hotel in the best location.
So, here’s my advice:
If you're looking for a luxurious escape in Patna, Lemon Tree Premier is a great choice.
- Book it. Seriously, go.
- Embrace the imperfections. Don’t expect perfection, and you won’t be disappointed.
- Take advantage of the pool. Seriously, spend at least an afternoon there. You won't regret it.
- Consider spending a week in Patna, because there is a lot to see in the city.
Final Score: 8/10 (Would definitely return, hopefully with stronger water pressure!)

Statesboro Getaway: Unbeatable Holiday Inn Express Deals!
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my adventure in Patna, and trust me, it's gonna be a wild ride. My stay is booked at the Lemon Tree Premier, Patna. Fingers crossed it's actually a premier experience and not some sad Premier Inn knock-off. Here's the plan (or, you know, what passes for a plan in my chaotic world):
Day 1: Arrival and Mild Panic (Patna's Embrace… Maybe?)
- Morning (aka when I finally claw my way out of bed): Flight lands at Patna Airport. Okay, deep breaths. Airport transfer… hopefully, the driver doesn't decide to channel his inner Lewis Hamilton on the way. Finding the Lemon Tree? Easy, it's Lemon Tree Premier Patna, is easy, right? Right… (whispers to self: don't get lost, don't get lost). Check in. Okay, the room better have air conditioning. My internal thermostat is set to "meltdown."
- Afternoon: First Impressions and a Desperate Plea for Food: Unpack some of my stuff. Honestly, I'm a professional over-packer. Always. Then, a reconnaissance mission! Gotta sniff out the local grub situation. Google Maps is my friend, but also my enemy – so many food choices, so little self-control. I'm craving something seriously spicy. My stomach's a bottomless pit after the flight. Maybe that's jet lag? Whatever, FOOD!
- Evening: The Ganga Ghats and Existential Dread (maybe): Supposedly, the Ganga Ghats at sunset are a must-see. Sounds idyllic. The reality? Probably a throng of people, smells I can't quite identify, and the unsettling feeling of being a complete outsider. Prepare for the culture shock! Might actually feel something, though. It's a real and raw part of the journey. Also, I'm secretly hoping for a decent street food vendor. Gotta embrace the flavors!
Day 2: Mahavir Mandir and Spicy Consequences
- Morning: Temple Touring and the Art of "Not Quite Right" Breakfast: Mahavir Mandir! Apparently, a HUGE temple and a major spot. I'll attempt to find some peace within the chaos. (Spoiler alert: I'll fail, miserably.) The temple itself will most likely be breathtaking, though. Then, back to the hotel for a questionable breakfast buffet. Hotel breakfasts… you never know what you're gonna get. I'm hoping for something besides mystery meat and overripe fruit.
- Afternoon: The Most Unforgettable Lunch of My Life (Probably for the Wrong Reasons): Okay, so yesterday, I was all about the spicy cravings. I found it, alright. I went to a place, it was small, chaotic, and delicious, and I ordered a dish… I think it was called "Patna Inferno". I was warned, I ignored, and… I am now paying the price. Okay, I am not feeling great. Need to find some antacids, stat. This is a trial.
- Evening: Recovery and Reflections (or, Just Lying Down in a Dark Room): The plan was to see the Golghar, but I’m still recovering from that lunch. I'm hiding in my room, mainlining water and praying to the porcelain gods. If I do feel human again, I'll maybe order some bland, safe food and watch some truly terrible TV. Let the world know that every trip isn't all perfectly curated Instagram moments.
Day 3: (Hopefully) Less Chaos and Maybe Some Actual Sightseeing
- Morning: I am hoping for a miracle. I am feeling better. I have the strength to get out of bed. Today is the day of the Patna Museum. I think I will like it!
- Afternoon: Golghar and the City's Pulse: Okay, so let's go to Golghar. I have been putting this off, but I have to go. I will see the city's pulse in action and breathe the same air that has been carrying on for centuries.
- Evening: Quiet Dinner and Early Night: I am tired and hungry, therefore, I will be having a quiet dinner in the hotel before going to bed early.
Day 4: Farewell Patna (and Did I Even Do Anything?)
- Morning: Last-Minute Souvenir Hunt and Deep Regrets: Okay, time to find something, ANYTHING to bring home as a reminder of this adventure. Also, a silent internal scream as I realize I didn't do half the things I wanted to and spent way too much time in a darkened room.
- Afternoon: Airport Chaos and The Sweet Relief of Departure: Check out. Airport transfer. Pray to the travel gods that my flight isn't delayed. And then… freedom! Time to go home and tell everyone how 'amazing' Patna was, with maybe a slight embellishment or two. (Don't tell anyone about my stomach issues, though. That's personal.)
Final Thoughts (and Possibly a Plea for Help):
Look, this isn't your typical travel itinerary. This is my life. Every trip comes with its own kind of craziness. I'm expecting a mix of awe, exhaustion, and moments where I question every life choice I've ever made. But hey, that's the fun, right? Wish me luck… because I'm probably gonna need it. And if anyone has tips on surviving spicy food, please, for the love of all that is holy, send them my way. Otherwise, I'll see you on the other side, hopefully, still alive and with some semi-coherent stories to tell. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
