Boutique Hotels in Kolkata

I was totally amazed by the attentiveness of the hotel staff! From pre-arrival where they ensured I had all information I needed to connect with my driver at the airport, to the reception I was given at the hotel where offering a warm memorable welcome was obviously important to them - just sensational. The room was absolutely comfortable with very nice bath products. The room service was efficient and the food delicious. I left very early the next morning but this experience has ensured that I will return again in under two weeks when I will be in Kolkata again.

Everything! But mostly the hotel staff!

The hotel takes care of its guests as if they were its children. Experienced so much hospitality. Perfect pickup at the airport - they greeted me at the luggage belt, so I didn't have to go and look for a driver, which is very much appreciated. Special thanks to Sanjib who promised to do a small research work for me (I was looking for the address of a particular historic site that you won't find on the web). Thanks to Shahat and Shaheen at the front desk, and also to the nice man at the table next to reception - whenever I needed anything, he was always quick to offer his help. Taj feels like a pure island of serenity

This is the third time I stayed at The Sonnet in the last 4 years. Clearly, I like the place. I do not have that much to add to what I wrote in the previous cases. The Sonnet provides excellent value for money. This is not a 5 star facility but the facilities provided are quite adequate. The last time I was there the place was undergoing renovations. But they seem to have been completed. The swimming pool is open and so is the gym. The rooms are decently sized. My room (501) had a very comfortable double bed, a sofa and a large desk, which was excellent for working. The bathroom is not huge but adequate and the water pressure is great. The breakfast buffet (now served again in the ground floor restaurant following renovations) is quite decent from my perspective; it contains most things most people want. The location right next to City Centre Mall is great and there is ample parking right in front. The staff as in pretty much every place I have stayed at were extremely friendly. I ordered room service one night and the focaccia bread chicken sandwich was a very large serving! To put this in context, during this trip I stayed at three different places n Kolkata, Raakjutir (close to Hyatt Regency), the Westin in Newtown and The Sonnet.

I liked the area. Good breakfast, good rooms and friendly staff!
