Fraud team in VIP International hotel...
Pros:

I checked in for two days in the hotel ..The rectionists are good gentle and professional.The day i was checking out one guy took the keys and went to my room ,i was paying the outstanding amount to another guy who was wearing a tie and payment done.Suddenly the guy who took keys from me came down getting a towel which was white towel with red patches on it saying this is your towel you ruined it and pay extra 500 bugs. That was not at all my towel and that red colour was paint,neither im a painter ..They started arguing and fight started.I said a towel cost would not be more than 100 bugs.They started quarell and took 300 bugs from me,This is a game they are playing for money..Till now they didnt give me my bill of the stay.They took 1000 bugs extra for only the coffees and roti idal that i ordered there..When i asked the bill they said system not working and we will send you the bill later ..This is what guys dont ever get into that hotel ...They are looting money i hope the owner of the hotel sees my review,It went only with a towel think if they break anything else which is costly and put it on our head..Never ever dont check into that hotel..I have buisiness work again for next one year i will never get into that hotel...

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Unless you like cockroaches and filth. Incredibly disgusted by hotel's appearance.
Pros:

The pictures must be from when the hotel just opened. I wish I had taken pictures of the cockroaches crawling on the wall but I was traumatized after changing rooms 3 times. This hotel is dirty and disgusting. Even though I paid already , I left.

Pros:

This place is under construction. They should not be entertaining any guests until the property is in a decent habitable condition. Overall, it was a horrible experience for me and my family.

Filthy hotel with zero maintenance. Not Recommended at all
Pros:

I visited Kolkata after almost 7/8 years. Normally I book my hotel and pay in advance so that I can travel hassle-free. When I arrived at this hotel, they informed me that they cancelled my booking. I opened my phone and opened Agoda app. I showed them it is confirmed and paid. They informed that, they cancelled it but it was not updated. I contacted customer service at Agoda via app chat. After few mins, they agreed to give me a room. The first room was very dirty and the toilet Commode pan was full of pee. I showed it to room service. They said, it cannot be clean. I declined to take that room. But at my utmost surprise, they showed me 4/5 rooms and all are same. Finally I got a room where plan was moderately clean (no pee on pan). But the room was soooo filthy and dirty, my stay was horrible. I had a disgusting stay. They do not do any maintenance at all.

The post pandemic experience was really bad
Pros:

This was my 2nd visit to the hotel. I was quite disappointed this time for many reasons. Right from reception to housekeeping to food & beverage every dept. responded late. I really had to call multiple times even for a toilet tissue which should have been in the toilet before checking in. The AC was not working well, I had to use the fan simultaneously. The breakfast was also a let down as they have switched to serving in room set breakfast instead of the earlier buffet breakfast which was good.

The best part is still its location. Very convenient. The property requires major renovation & training for the staffs. Not a three star anymore.

The tariff was also higher this time compared to the facilities & services. Not recommended for family travelers unless above improvements are made. For solo travelers, my advice would be to avoid paying for the breakfast & negotiate hard on the room rent.

Poor standard
Pros:

This is a low quality hotel, can get much better hotel for same or slighly higher rate. Room was clean however bathroom was bad. Air conditioning when switched on was like a motor running, very loud. The communal area, in particular was so dirty, carpet looked like it not be hoovered or cleaned for 10 years and lift windows were broken.

place where the value of money come first than hospitality
Pros:

worst place to stay, unexpirence people at front, dirty bed sheets , broken shower, mould beverages in the mini bar, how come the government of India or hotel association of Kolkata is not taking action over this types of hotel , where the concern about health and safety for the guest, hope by this comment the hotel staff could remember the scenarios that took on 22 Nov 2019. please never book hotel online first visit the room personally cause we travel to have fun and want to rest ourself in clean and comfortable rooms on time. respected VIP international staff first get training how to provide the hospitality service and learn how to handle the situation.
thank you
