In short "no going back" here.
Pros:

The concept was good - staying in a cruise ship. Thats it. The view of the Hooghly and the Howrah bridges was very nice.

Cons:

Very unclean. Bath and toilets were pathetic and disgusting. The ramp going down to the "Floatel" could have been better. The breakfast buffet was bad.

Really lovely, shame about the cigarette smell in the bath
Pros:

The service from the staff was incredible. We were upgraded from a roadside view to a riverside view which was amazing. Tring Tring restaurant and bar was fabulous - great food & drinks and service. The music could be a little quieter. The views of the Hooghly River were awesome. It was great sitting outside at night watching the light show on the bridge. The masala Dosa for breakfast was perfect! The best I have had on this trip to West Bengal.

Cons:

Although we were upgraded, the corridor that our room was on, smelt faintly of cigarette smoke. Then, when we accessed our room, the bathroom absolutely stank of strong cigarette smoke. Our booking was for a non-smoking room. If we had have been staying more than one night, I would have asked to be moved.

A wonderfully unique experience.
Pros:

The Polo Floatel is quite unique. You can enjoy a cuppa on your private balcony or from the restaurant and watch daily life on the river. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is good, and always easy to hail a passing taxi. There is plenty of hot water in the bathroom. The restaurant prepares lovely meals and the breakfast buffet is generous and serves many different options. Wifi works well.

Cons:

I had the room directly underneath the restaurant and bar on the first night and it was quite noisy. I am a light sleeper and it was very disturbing until late. There was NO hesitation by the manager to change my room as soon as I asked, which I appreciated very much!!

Overpriced
Pros:

Staff were lovely and very attentive. Food in restaurant was very good aswell

Cons:

It is a lot scruffier than photos depict. Needs a bit of a revamp, thought it was overpriced for what you really got.
Bad sewage smells in corridor, cracked tiles in room and shower not functioning very well.

Pathetic
Pros:

NONE

Cons:

So I did not stayed at this property because it was not clean. The washrooms and bed sheets were dirty the floor was dirty and can't imagine the smell. Can you imagine this from a famous hotel chain??? and on top of it their not rerunning my money as well. But guess what I'll not leave them alone simply because they said so, I will for sure sue them for this. I reached there around at 9.20 pm and was standard for almost an hour because of the rooms. I was hungry disappointed and was raging at the fact that they were behaving so casually about this. I saw them laughing behind our back when I looked back. Please save your money and do not go there if you love your hygiene. Before reaching there I had informed them prior about my hygiene problems and dust allergy but alas that also did not make any difference. Thank god I had my Lawer with me at that time.

Excellent refreshing trip
Pros:

Breakfast spread was ample . Location of the hotel is excellent. View from the room is superb. Interior is good. Staffs were courteous.

Cons:

In room food cost is too high. A plate of maggy is costing Rs 350 & its ridiculous. All the foods were too costly & we had to order food from outside.

Pros:

The linen provided for the bed could have been more fresh and dry
The extra pillow covers should be given so that the customer can change things according to his/ her need.
