“Excellent staff, quality of rooms middle class”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Especially the bellboy, the room service and the security guards at the front door are extremely friendly. I came back after 3 weeks of travelling and they greated me like a good old friend coming home. The rooms could need some renovating and cleaning (curtains are worn down, bathtub has a gradient in the wrong direction). In general it is very noisy from the other rooms and the air condition can't be regulated in the room. For me it was too cold in the room and restaurant as well. And there is one remark for people who are suffering from seasickness. The hotel is moving with the tide of the river. There are no waves this is more a side motion of the floatel. The restaurant serves nice food and you can sit on the terrace facing the river outside. If you sit inside don't forget your sweater. The location is central but you need a taxi to reach the place. If you want to be in walking distance prefer a hotel around Sudder Street.

“Must if you want to enjoy Kolkata in true way..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I have visited kolkata many times in past. But this been an really really awesome experaince, on staying in Floatel. You can see the real kolkata. It is very centrally located on Hugli river, from where you can see Howrah Bridge, the Old style Howrah Station across the river, the other side d legendary Rabrindranath Setu..the other side Kolkata City...it is really amazing to be in this place, on a sea vessel. Highly Recommended and true value for money.

Room Tip: Take a Sunrise room.. dats d time you would be there to enjoy...

“Kolkata @ Dura Pooja time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

I planned to visit Kolkata during the Durga Pooja Festival and selected this hotel based on tripadvisor reviews, the staff as very friendly, the room looked great, opening the curtains could view the Ganges and ferries, boats going by and was worth watching, the beds were soft, well maintained. If one has a Cruise experience, they would love this place, in case you plan to leave very early morning for some sightseeing they would pack the b'fast for us.

Something that I did not like was the service @ the restaurant which is on the 3rd floor, no one cared to listen to the concerns, they were no spoons served, had a wait for a very long time and the billing was also pathetic, they got someone's else bill to me :-) . B'fast was a lot better.

I would recommend this hotel only if you get the SUNSET room, do remb. this.. and best places for Couples..

Room Tip: Select the SUNSET room and in case leaving early morning ask for the packed b'fast.

“Awesomeeeee”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

the place is awesome...The best part was having dinner on the open air top deck which is an extension to the restaurant. The food and service is excellent. The sunset room with huge glass windows overlooking the river is simply great.
A stay during weekends on the river is a must to take out all the stress.

Room Tip: Stay in a Sunset room and have dinner on the bridge deck.

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

I stayed here one night. From the food to the service to the view, I had an amazing time. Its definitely a must-stay kinda place. The concept is soo unique as is the view. The ambience is very different from any other hotel in Kolkata. The view of the river is breathtaking, especially during sunset and during the Pujas. The buffet choices at dinner and breakfast were incredible. I was so spoilt for choice. The staff are very friendly and courteous and made every effort to make you feel at home.
the bottom line is its definitely worth trying when you come to Kolkata!!!!!!
