A Kolkata based friend of mine set me up at this hotel. While the hotel is not opulant, it is very comfortable, clean, reasonably priced and staffed by friendly and helpful staff. I stayed there for about 4 nights and didn't have a single complaint. One of the real advantages of this hotel is that it is a bit off the beaten path, towards the South end of Kolkata. I found it to be quiet and still easily within a short (20 minute) taxi ride into the heart of Kolkata. I paid 1800 rs per night for a big double room with a clean bathroom (western style), hot water, room service and air conditioning. The staff was very responsive to anything I asked for (room service, laundry, internet access etc.) This hotel is better known amoung locals than foreign tourists.
There is a large park, plenty of shops ATM's pharmacies, etc within 5 minute walk from the hotel. No taxi mafia at the front door. All in all, a very decent place to stay. more
