Typical close to perfect TAJ service, Club floor staff outstanding and extremely helpful, however the heat and humidity in the atrium needs major attention, especially in the top floors. Very efficient check-in, had a snack at the pool, which was very good, breakfast on the club floor offering stunning views and a smaller selection than the main restaurant, however very... More

It was a short two day business visit. Taj Bengal suited the best, right in the heart of the city, still away from the crowd. Overlooking greenery of the Alipore Zoo was an adders attraction. Staff were very courteous, food sumptuous. The only problem was parkingnspace for the car. I had to wait for nearly 15 minutes to get my... More

I have been here several time and keep being amazed by the service. This times booked a cheap room and it looked...cheap. The room was very damp. It was small and the bathroom very spartian. But again the staff was adorable and all the rest does not count. Theindian restaurant is great

More than 200 rooms and suites that radiate Indian hospitality at its best, and you are offered every comfort and amenity you would expect from a five-star hotel, such as wireless internet connection, satellite TV, DVD players and electronic safes.

I travel a lot due to the nature of my wrk. This is by far one of the best business hotels where traditional meets efficiency and luxury. Every staff member right from the valet to the receptionist to the person in the room service is absolutely amazing and you can expect consistency of service and response. I had ordered room... More

Me and my wife stayed in this hotel for 2 nights to watch IPL Cricket Final. Not so luxury, the hotel was good. The room facing the road was bit noisy at times, especially night. The food at restaurants and in room dining are over priced when comparing the quality. The service of the staff was excellent, especially reception and... More

Just back from a business trip to Kolkatta. Stayed at the Taj Bengal and came back a bit underwhelmed. This is a Taj property that failed to meet the usually high standards that I have come to expect from the Taj group. The Hotel (like the city) looks a little faded and past its prime. i found the bath to... More

The staff was simply awesome, whatever job/task they were doing they were all very helpful, nice and well spoken. The room was in perfect condition, clean and very comfortable. The food especially at... More

Taj Bengal was without a doubt one of the best experiences of a hotel stay in my many years of travel. EVERY staff member that we came in contact with, regardless of the length of the conversation, was courteous, helpful and efficient. Even the housekeeping staff (who typically tidy up the room in our absence) impressed us with incredible attention... More
