This hotel is truly special and is in a league of its own. It's a beautiful old building that is well maintained, well air-conditioned and very welcoming. The quality of service, staff, facilities, food - the whole experience is exceptional. To leave the chaos of Kolkata at your back as you enter the chilled hotel building and then sit in... More

Perfection it was.The standard was very high. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The food and amenities were 1st class. I cannot recommend it more highly. We stayed at the begining and end of our trip down the Hoogly River and both times the standard was extremely high. I loved my stay there.

By any standards this hotel, in our opinion, ranks with the world's best. The staff are really well trained, co-operative and very friendly. The rooms are beautifully appointed. We stayed in a room overlooking the swimming pool (recommended). This hotel is really very, very good. try it.
