"I loved the fact that my room had a little balcony and since it was the famous Kali Puja festival I could witness the processions from my room."

"Immaculately kept rooms, helpful but unassuming staff and some lovely little touches (particularly loved the old books and pictures of grandad and great grand dad in the reception) make this a place a real jewel and a nice surprise to end our trip to India with."

“This hotel's location on College Street places guests within easy reach of Kolkata's vibrant heart; its colonial-era architecture offers a glimpse into the city's past, a detail I find particularly appealing. While the absence of a lift might pose a challenge for some, the helpful staff and unique balcony rooms create a memorable stay. A solid choice for those seeking character and convenience.”
