Nagpur's Hidden Gem: Le Clover's Luxurious Itsy Hotels Experience
Nagpur's Hidden Gem: Le Clover's Luxurious Itsy Hotels Experience
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into a hotel review. Forget the sterile corporate jargon, this is real talk. And frankly, after the week I've had, writing this is probably cheaper than therapy. Let's get to it.
Hotel Review: (Let's pretend I'm not allowed to name it. It's a… mystery hotel, okay?)
(Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience and is, as such, entirely subjective. Your mileage may vary, and your sanity might be better off elsewhere.)

Accessibility (…Gosh, Let's Pray)
Okay, first things first: Accessibility. The hotel claimed to be accessible. Claimed. And, for the most part, it was. Getting in the front door? Ramp. Elevator access to the rooms? Check. But… the devil's in the details, right?
- Wheelchair Accessible: Yeah, the bones are there. Easy access at the front, and elevators. BUT, the bathroom? More on that later. Suffice it to say, I've seen bigger bathrooms in a phone booth. Movement was… challenging. And don't even get me started on the thresholds.
- Facilities for Disabled Guests: Supposed to be there. I saw some evidence. But… the level of usable accessibility? Well…let's just say it could be better. Much better.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges + On-site accessible restaurants: Fine, a few steps here and there but the lounge at the bar was accessible.
Internet (Oh, The Humanity!)
- Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Praise the tech gods! And, you know what? It actually worked. (Mostly. There was that one time I fell down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories on YouTube, but that's probably more my fault.)
- Internet [LAN]: What even is LAN anymore? Ah, the ghosts of internet past. I did see a port in my room. I didn't touch it.
- Internet Services: See above.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Yep, hotspots aplenty. Even the pool had a decent signal. Which, frankly, is a miracle.
Things to Do (Or, How I Spent My Vacation Mostly Doing Nothing And Loving It)
- Ways to Relax: This is where the hotel shined. More on that in the Spa section.
- Fitness Center: I… visited it. Briefly. Once. It had a treadmill. And a weight machine. And other things I’m pretty sure I have no idea how to use.
- Pool with View: Spectacular. Seriously. That pool was gorgeous. Infinity edge. Overlooking something. (I'm fuzzy on the details because I mostly had my eyes closed and was sipping a ridiculously overpriced cocktail.)
- Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and Swimming pool [outdoor]: All there and all delightful.
Spa: The Realm of Bliss (Minus The Price Gouging, Maybe)
The spa. Oh, the spa. This is where the hotel got it right. Okay, maybe not everything.
- Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage: I indulged. Shamelessly. The body scrub? Heavenly. The massage? So good, I actually snored. (Embarrassing, but true.) The foot bath? Perfect.
- Steamroom: Steamy. In a good way.
- Cleanliness and Safety (COVID-19 – Ugh, Don't Remind Me!)
Let's be real, COVID is with us. The hotel’s approach? Mixed.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Okay, good. (I hope.)
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Seemed about right. I saw people wiping things down. Mostly.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere! (Which is a good thing, even with the pandemic.)
- Individually-wrapped food options: Yes. A bit excessive, perhaps? But I get it.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: Tried. Some guests, not so much.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: I assume so. I didn't see the cleaning crew, so who knows.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Nice to have the option if you're a clean freak.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: I hope so.
- Safe dining setup: More on that later.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Again, I'm assuming.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Seemed to be. They were wearing those masks!
- Sterilizing equipment: I saw a few things. Didn't try using one, if one was there.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (AKA, Where My Wallet Wept)
- Breakfast [buffet]: Ah, the buffet. Mixed bag. The pastries? Amazing. The coffee? Meh. The egg station? Long lines. And that moment when I saw someone – I swear – use the tongs to grab a sausage… then put the tongs back in the sausage tray? Traumatic.
- A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: All were there and all with varying degrees of quality. The prices were a little high.
- Room service [24-hour]: I’ll confess. I ordered a pizza at 3 AM. No regrets. (Okay, maybe a few regrets the next morning.)
Services and Conveniences – The Stuff I Actually Used
- Concierge: Helpful. Went above and beyond.
- Daily housekeeping: Spotless. Those rooms were clean.
- Elevator: Thank God.
- Facilities for disabled guests: (See above, Accessibility)
- Laundry service: Pricey.

- Luggage storage: Easy peasy.
- Dry Cleaning: Not too pricey.
- Safe(y) deposit boxes: Yes!
- Currency exchange, Food delivery, gift/souvenir shop: All present and accounted for.
For the Kids (My Own Personal Hell – Just Kidding… Mostly!)
- Babysitting service: Not sure if I like this.
- Family/child friendly: Yes. My kids? Probably loved it. I'd be more happy if they weren't there.
- Kids meal, Kids facilities: They had this.
Getting Around (The Literal and Figurative) – Mostly Fine
- Airport transfer: Booked it. Showed up on time.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Plenty of parking. Didn't have to fight for a spot.
- Taxi service, Valet parking: There!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my chaotic adventure at Itsy Hotels Le Clover Nagpur. Forget your perfectly polished travel logs – this is gonna be the raw, unfiltered truth. Prepare for some serious rambles, questionable decisions, and enough emotional whiplash to make a roller coaster jealous.
Day 1: Nagpur – The Arrival & The Holy Cow (Literally)
- 8:00 AM: Arrived at Nagpur Airport. Airport shuttle, well, supposedly it arrives to the hotel as the hotel staff offered, but I waited there for about 45 minutes. Fine, I am early for the reservation, I told myself.
- 9:00 AM: Finally, made it to Itsy Hotels Le Clover. The lobby… okay, it wasn't exactly the gleaming, Instagram-worthy paradise I'd envisioned. Let's call it… charmingly rustic. Check-in was a slight hiccup, involving some frantic phone calls and a lot of "lost in translation" moments. My room? Small. But hey, at least it had a window… kinda.
- 10:00 AM: First impressions. Nagpur is HOT. Like, walk-outside-and-immediately-melt-into-a-puddle hot. Found a local chai stall nearby. The chai? Divine. The atmosphere? Chaotic and wonderful. I nearly got run over by a scooter five times.
- 11:00 AM: I needed to see the 'Local Sightseeing Places", so I heard about the "Deekshabhoomi" It took me an hour to walk. The monument itself was impressive, a beautiful place for a solemn visit. Got a bit overwhelmed by the crowds and the heat. Grabbed a refreshing coconut water. Best. Decision. Ever.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local eatery. The Thali was a beautiful mountain of deliciousness. I think I ordered everything on the menu. Food coma. Regretted nothing.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Nap. Needed. It. This heat is brutal, and that thali really knocked me out.
- 5:00 PM: The evening, I thought I should visit a holy cow so I asked the hotel staff to indicate the nearby place, but they couldn't remember it. Walked across the street and realized there, there was a cow sitting in the front yard. The cow gave me the side-eye. I gave the cow a respectful nod. It was a Nagpur welcome.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner was another adventure. Tried a local "Samosa" stall I found and after 2 samosas, and two glasses of water… the spiciness hit. Tears streamed down my face. Glorious, painful tears. Totally worth it.
- 8:00 PM: Fell asleep watching TV. Seriously, I was out. Jet lag is a beast.
Day 2: The Orange City & the Wildlife Whisperer
- 7:00 AM: Woke up to the sounds of Nagpur. The constant honking is something else, honestly. The room felt a little cramped, but hey, I'm alive, right? Coffee and the hotel restaurant was okay. Decent enough that I didn't have to brave the spice bombs of the streets again.
- 8:00 AM - 1 PM: My biggest goal today was to explore the "Zero Mile Stone" of Nagpur, from all the recommendations from friends. It took me almost an hour to find the place. I walked and looked around. It wasn't exactly a breathtaking monument, if you ask me, but it's a marker of Nagpur's geographic center. Also explored the Sitabuldi Fort, which was surprisingly interesting in the chaotic surroundings.
- 2:00 PM: Back to the hotel. I heard there was a pool, so I headed to the outdoor area. "The pool" turned out to be a very small, slightly-greenish rectangle. Decided to "admire" it from a distance. Maybe tomorrow.
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Okay, I was supposed to rest in the hotel room, but I found out there was a little park down the street. It was a little oasis of green.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a place called "Tuli Imperial" that the hotel staff recommended. It was a fancy place, the exact opposite of the street food. Overpriced, but the service was good. Ate something fancy. The heat was still present, but at least I was surrounded by AC, which was a victory.
- 8:00 PM: I had a small balcony with a view of the street. Watched the city go by. It was surprisingly soothing. Contemplated life. Decided to go to bed.
Day 3: Nagpur – The Departure (With a Hint of Nostalgia)
- 7:00 AM: Woke up. Packing. Why is it always so hard to repack?
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. One last attempt at the Indian breakfast buffet. Actually did pretty well, and remembered to order the "masala chai".
- 9:00 AM: Final stroll, walk around the area one last time. Bought some Nagpur oranges and some spices at the shops nearby. The people were friendly, even when I was hopelessly lost.
- 10:00 AM: Checked out. The whole process was easier this time. Maybe I have adjusted after all.
- 11:00 AM: Waiting for the airport transfer. I took a look around the lobby one last time.
- 12:00 AM: Farewell, Nagpur! A city of chaos, heat, and incredible food. Surprisingly, I rather enjoy it.
The Verdict:
Itsy Hotels Le Clover Nagpur? It wasn't perfect. But it was… Nagpur. It was real. It was messy. It was an adventure. And honestly, I wouldn't trade it for that pristine, boring, perfectly-reviewed hotel. Now, to find a good place to soak my tired feet (and maybe order another Samosa). Time to head home, back to reality.

So, what *is* this thing, anyway? Like, what are we even *doing* here?
Alright, alright, settle down, Sparky. You're looking at FAQs, right? Frequently Asked Questions. The idea is, someone (that *someone* being me, apparently) anticipates the stuff folks want to know. The problem? Life doesn't have a perfectly formatted FAQ section. Life’s more like… a perpetually overflowing inbox with zero organization. So consider this a valiant, probably doomed, attempt to wrangle the chaos. We'll cover all sorts of stuff, from the practical to the existential. Prepare yourself.
Why these questions though? Aren't there, like, official FAQs out there?
Oh, good question! Because official FAQs are BORING. They're curated by corporate robots and optimized for SEO. They're about as exciting as watching paint dry. I, on the other hand, am a chaotic entity. A whirlwind of half-remembered memories, strong opinions, and a profound aversion to anything resembling "professional." So, you’re stuck with me. And believe me, what you're really looking for isn't being answered in those sterile, pre-approved FAQs. Those just tell you what they want you to hear.
Okay, fine. But what about...what about the stuff I REALLY want to know? Like, *how do I...?*
Whoa, hold your horses! Yeah, yeah, I get it. You've got a burning question, a desperate need for immediate answers. Fine. Let's say you want to know about, oh...getting through a breakup? *Ugh.* That’s a big one. I’ve been there. *So many times*. Remember that one time? Oh god, it was two years ago, with...nevermind. The point is, I’m not going to be that perfect, polished guru. Sometimes I won't have an answer and sometimes, I’ll just tell you how *I* did it. Which, let's be honest, might be the exact opposite of what *you* should do. But I've got the scars to prove it. And the pizza boxes. Don't forget the pizza boxes.
I'm feeling a bit, uh... *lost*. What's even the *point* of any of this?
The point? Oh, you're asking the BIG questions now! Look, if I knew the *actual* point, I wouldn't be here writing FAQs, would I? I'd be lounging on a beach somewhere, sipping something ridiculously expensive. But I'm not. If I'm truly being honest? I'm just hoping to make some sense of it all. And hey, maybe, just maybe, if I can help *you* feel a little less lost in the process, then it's all worth it. Or, you know, whatever. Maybe this is just my way of procrastinating on laundry. Who can say?
Okay, okay. So, let's say...let's say I'm struggling with... well, *everything*. Like, the whole world is a giant, stinky pile of...stuff. What do I do?
Ugh. Been there. *Totally* been there. The "everything is a giant, stinky pile" feeling? Yeah, that's basically my default setting. First...breathe. Seriously. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Now, remember that time you were convinced everything was over? And you survived? That. That's the key. It's messy. It's ugly. It's probably going to involve a lot of bad decisions and questionable life choices. But you'll get through it. Or, you know, maybe you won’t, and that's okay too. Just...try. Okay?
Back to practical stuff: can I actually *trust* anything you say?
Trust me? That's...a loaded question. I'm a flawed human. I make mistakes. I'm opinionated. I might even contradict myself from time to time. So, no. You can't blindly trust me! Listen to your own gut. Do your own research. Take everything I say with a giant grain of salt and a side of skepticism. Consider this more of a conversation, a messy, rambling conversation, to bounce ideas off. Now, if you want chocolate cake with that, then you can trust me. I'm always right about cake.
Are you... happy?
Ha! Happy? What a loaded question. Am I skipping through fields of daisies, singing show tunes every day? No. Am I completely miserable? Also no. I’m… content-ish. I have good days, bad days, and days where I just want to hide under the covers with a book and a bag of chips. But I keep going. And that, in itself, feels like a victory. Sometimes, it’s enough to have a good enough day.
What's your absolute biggest mistake? The one you replay in your head at 3 AM?
Oh, now you're asking the *hard* questions. Let's see... where do I even *start*? There was the time I tried to bake a cake and instead created a solid, inedible brick that nearly broke my oven. And the job I took out of desperation. And the epic text message sent to the wrong person. Okay. I'll pick just one. The one that keeps me up. The one where I shut down, instead of speaking up. Where I let a situation escalate. That one. I can replay it in perfect detail in my head. The regret? Yeah, that sticks around. But you know what? It’s also a lesson. A painful, awful, “never again” lesson. And because of that, the next time is probably going to be less bad. Even if it's not "perfect", that's progress. Right?
So, basically, what is the point of *anything*? Seriously, what do we *do* with all this?
Okay, I'll level with you. I don't know the *ultimate* point. But there are moments of absolute beauty, moments that take your breath away. There's the joy of a good laugh. And there’s the feeling of belonging. And there’s the quiet satisfaction of finally completing a project. The best moments are the ones you can’t quite explain. So *do* with it all the things that feel good. Find your people. Embrace the mess. Because let me tellLuxury Hanoi Apartment: Vinhomes Metropolis 2BR - Unbeatable Lotte View!
