**Patna's BEST Kept Secret: Kamat Inn OYO Review (You WON'T Believe This!)**
Patna's BEST Kept Secret: Kamat Inn OYO Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Or Maybe You Will Because I'm About to Spill the Chai!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to unleash a review of the Kamat Inn OYO in Patna that will either: A) make you scramble for your credit card, or B) make you question my sanity. Honestly, after staying there, I'm still questioning my sanity, but in a good way. This place… it's a TRIP. And for the price? Forget about it. You’re basically stealing.
First things first: The "Secret" Revealed (And Why I Think Everyone's Keeping it):
Let's be real. Patna isn't exactly known for its luxurious getaways. It's a bustling, sometimes chaotic, city. So when I stumbled (literally, tripped over a rogue brick on the sidewalk) into Kamat Inn, my expectations were… low. I needed a place, pronto. And boy, did I get one. It's the "secret" because it's quietly amazing. Nobody shouts about it from the rooftops, but maybe they should! Now, let's dive deep, shall we?
Accessibility? (For the Differently Abled, and the Slightly Clumsy – aka Me)
Okay, so here's the deal. Accessibility isn't perfect, but it's surprisingly good. The elevator is a godsend, especially after lugging my suitcase up three flights in some other Patna hellhole the week before. They do have facilities for disabled guests, which I didn't personally need, but it's a huge plus mark in my book. Exterior corridors? Yes, which means less claustrophobia and more… Patnaville watching. You know you want to. The car park [on-site] is a lifesaver, especially with Patna traffic. Trust me.
- My Anecdote: I, in the spirit of full transparency, did almost trip over a loose cable in the lobby. Minor imperfection. But hey, stuff happens. The staff were quick to apologize and get it fixed, which is a good sign. So yes, the accessibility is good, but always be on alert, be careful, especially a clumsy person like me!
- Overall Rating: 7/10. Room for improvement, but definitely thoughtful.
Cleanliness and Safety: Am I Going to Wake Up with a New Friend I Didn't Ask For?!
This is where Kamat Inn shines. Cleanliness and safety are obviously a massively important. They're making a HUGE effort. I'm talking serious dedication. The staff were constantly cleaning. The daily disinfection in common areas, the room sanitization between stays, the stuff is real. I felt very safe. There are fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, all the basic things.
- My Anecdote: I was so impressed, in fact, that I accidentally left a piece of chocolate on my pillow. When I returned, gone! And the room was extra-clean. I was a bit sad about the chocolate, but happy about the hygiene!
- Overall Rating: 9/10. Seriously, the hygiene certs are well-earned.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Or at Least, a Delicious Pit Stop)
Alright, food! Listen up, foodies. Dining, drinking, and snacking are well-covered here. There’s a restaurant (more on that in a minute) and a coffee shop. Crucially, for those of us who operate on Indian time, there’s room service [24-hour]. Game changer. They offer a selection from Asian cuisine in restaurant to more familiar international options. And! If you're on a budget you can order breakfast takeaway service.
- My Anecdote: The restaurant experience itself was… interesting. The Asian breakfast was delicious, a proper spicy start to the day. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was also good. The staff, bless them, were so attentive, always refilling my water. The Coffee shop served good coffee, important on those long days.
- Overall Rating: 8/10. The food is tasty, and service is friendly.
Rooms: Your Personal Patna Paradise (Probably… Maybe…)
Let's talk rooms. I got a non-smoking one (phew!) and it was… comfortable. I’m talking air conditioning in all rooms that actually worked (a miracle!), a cozy desk, a comfortable bed, and a proper mirror (very important for checking the post-chai-drinking face). Free Wi-Fi (thank the internet gods!) and a coffee/tea maker (essential survival kit). The additional toilet was especially good, you know, when you are used to traveling in very less-developed countries!
- My Anecdote: The room was clean, the bedding was fresh, and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping past sunrise. The only downside? The internet went a bit wonky at one point. Annoying. But the staff were quick to fix it. Still, I should mention that the satellite/cable channels were amazing and the in-room safe box a must.
- Overall Rating: 8.5/10. Comfortable and well-equipped.
Services and Conveniences: Because Life Shouldn't Be a Struggle
This is where Kamat Inn really pulls ahead. Services and conveniences are plentiful. Daily housekeeping meant I didn't have to lift a finger. The concierge was genuinely helpful with advice and local tips. Laundry service and dry cleaning are available. They also have a car park [free of charge] which is great in Patna. Currency exchange is available.
- My Anecdote: I needed some cash, and the cash withdrawal service was easy. Plus, the doorman always greeted me with a smile (and a much-needed bottle of water). The true win? Luggage storage. I hate hauling my baggage around!
- Overall Rating: 9/10. Seriously, they thought of everything.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Walls of Patna (and Inside!)
Okay, now for the juicy stuff: things to do, ways to relax. Kamat Inn isn't just a place to sleep, it's a mini-oasis. They have a fitness center (I didn't use it, blame the samosas), a spa/sauna (hell YES, I did that!), and a swimming pool [outdoor] (gorgeous!). The massage was amazing! I spent an afternoon by the pool.
- My Anecdote: I went full-on relaxation mode. The spa/sauna was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring Patna (which can be… intense!). The pool with view offered the perfect respite.
- Overall Rating: 9.5/10. Seriously, the relaxation options are worth the price of admission alone.
For the Kids:
I didn't bring any children with me but the hotel has kids facilities and even an option for babysitting service.
Internet Access: The Digital Age Survival Guide
The free Wi-Fi was a must. They had free wi-fi in all rooms. Internet [LAN] option is available too.
Getting Around: The Patna Panic Prevention Plan
The airport transfer service was a lifesaver. The taxi service was reliable. All the usual amenities.
Wrapping it Up: Why You NEED to Book Kamat Inn OYO Now!
Look, I could go on. But the bottom line is this: Kamat Inn OYO is a total hidden gem. It's clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and surprisingly luxurious for the price. The staff are friendly, the food is good, and the relaxation options are fantastic.
Here's my official, slightly-too-enthusiastic pitch:
STOP! Don't book another generic hotel in Patna until you've considered Kamat Inn OYO. You're not just getting a room; you're getting an experience. You're getting a chance to actually relax in a city that can be overwhelming. You're getting… well, you're getting the best-kept secret in Patna. I’m practically begging you. Book it. Right now. Don't hesitate. You won't regret it. You. Must. Go. And afterward? Come back and tell me if I was wrong. I dare you.

The Super OYO Capital O Kamat Inn Patna Pilgrimage: A Spiritual Journey Through Budget Accommodation and Questionable Food
(Okay, maybe "pilgrimage" is a strong word. More like "surviving a couple of nights"…)
Day 1: Arrival – Patna, Prepare Thyself (and Maybe Take an Immodium)
- Morning (or what passes for morning when you haven’t slept on a train since you were 12): Landed in Patna. Air India. I'm convinced the "air" part is just ironic. Anyway, the luggage carousel coughed up my backpack like it was trying to get rid of a hairball. Thank god, everything was mostly intact. The taxi ride into the city? Chaotic poetry. Horns blasting symphonies, cows casually strolling across the road (a classic Indian touch, of course), and a driver who seemed to be playing a real-life version of Mario Kart. Heart rate: 180.
- Afternoon (or the time I'm supposed to be checking in): Reached Kamat Inn. The building looks like it has seen better days. Okay, much better days. The lobby has a distinct smell of… well, let’s just say it reminds me of my college dorm after a particularly raucous weekend. Checked-in. The guy at the front desk seemed mildly interested in my existence, which is honestly a step up from some hotel experiences. Room keycard? Works! Victory! (For now…) The room itself… let's call it "rustic charm." The bedspread had a pattern, let's leave it at that… The bathroom, a little… well, the less said the better. But hey, at least there's a shower. A functioning shower (fingers crossed).
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Food Adventure (or possibly, Food Disaster): Okay, so the hotel restaurant. This is where things get… interesting. I started with the masala dosa. It arrived looking like a golden-brown, crispy hug. The filling was… vaguely potato-ish. The sambar? Lukewarm and mysteriously spicy. My gut is already starting to worry. Seriously, what did I get myself into? Ordered a coke (because, you know, hydration and hope). Then, after some deliberation, decided to stick with the dosa. Maybe it was a fluke.
- Evening: The Netflix And…Bed? I am in my room. I will watch something mind-numbing on my phone (the Wifi is as reliable as my ex). I will try to sleep. I will pray I don't spend the night in the aforementioned bathroom.
Day 2: Patna Exploration – Temples, Temples, and the Mystery of the Missing Mosquito Net
- Morning: Woke up! Success! (Though I probably should have taken that Immodium). Headaches and stomach growling… The breakfast buffet… Let's call it "basic." Idli? Decent. The coffee? Tasted like it was brewed in a rusty bucket. But hey, it woke me up enough to face the day!
- Mid-Morning: The plan was to visit the Mahavir Mandir Temple. Crowds, crowds, and more crowds. The air thrummed with chants and the scent of incense. It was… overwhelming, in the best way possible. The energy was incredible. I feel like I'm the only non-Local there… At least I don't look too lost. The bright colours, the intensity… wow. It hits you right in the soul, or maybe just the eyes.
- Lunch: I'm brave and decided to sample street food! The samosas were, I hate to say it, incredible. Spicy, greasy, and perfect. The puri, less so. It was, somehow, both oily and dry at the same time. My stomach is grumbling again. Is it the good kind of grumble, or the impending doom kind? Stay tuned!
- Afternoon: Headed to the Patna Museum! The exhibits are a little… eccentric. The descriptions read like they were written by someone who's only half-awake, but it has a certain charm to it. Some dusty artifacts, some amazing old carvings. But the highlight? The utterly bewildered tourists wandering around, looking equally baffled and delighted. It's a shared experience.
- Late Afternoon: The Search for the Non-Existent Mosquito Net: Back at Kamat Inn. I have a mosquito. It's vicious. I called reception about the missing mosquito net. They said they would 'look into it' (code for 'forget about it'). So, I'm now engaged in a bloody battle with a tiny, winged enemy. This is less "spiritual journey" and more "survival of the fittest." My emotional reaction? Rage bordering on insanity. I want to sleep! I want to be left alone! Can't a girl catch a break around here?!
- Evening: Dinner…and Risking It All: I'm on the fence about dinner. The hotel food… I'm gonna pass. Going out again? Risks, risks, risks… I will stay inside and nibble on the cookies I wisely bought at the airport.
Day 3: Departure – Patna, You Were… Something (and Maybe I’ll Be Back… Eventually)
- Morning: Breakfast re-attempt. I made a mistake. I ordered the breakfast thali. It was.. a lot. A mountain of carbs. A sea of spices. My stomach is officially revolting. Time to go to the airport!
- Mid-Morning: Check out. The front desk guy gave me a weary smile. "Have a good flight!" he said. I hope he's right.
- Afternoon: Flight home. Looking out the window at Patna fading in my view. My body feels a little battered, my stomach is still sending mixed messages. But there were moments of pure, unadulterated magic. And hey, I lived to tell the tale.
- Final Thoughts: Kamat Inn? I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5 stars. It was rough, but you know what? It was also… real. Patna itself? Messy, chaotic, beautiful, and unforgettable. Would I go back? Maybe. But next time, I'm packing my own mosquito net.
