This is an excellent place to stay and is close to many places. The service is excellent. I booked through e-mail and they were very responsive. Initially they gave me written direction to the hotel. I requested for a computer generated local area map which they promptly provided by e-mail. This map was useful in directing the taxi as the... more

Wrote directly to the hotel and got a prompt, detailed reply. Bookings were quickly confirmed and clear directions to the hotel and payment details were provided. The rates are very reasonable for Kolkata and the rooms are exactly as depicted on the hotel website. The hotel itself is a small property with 3 deluxe rooms and one deluxe king room,... more

Not at all easy to find; if travelling by cab, your best bet will be to ask the driver to head for Rabindra Sarobar... more
