Real Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Previous Guests Had to Say
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Calcutta Bungalow is frequently praised for its beautiful and thoughtfully decorated rooms, some of which are described as spacious. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight for many, particularly known for its exceptional Bengali cuisine, including river prawn dishes like Chingri Moshla Polao MH and Herbed Chingri Malaikari. The hotel's location, while in an interesting neighborhood near Kumatoli Village and a short walk to the metro, can be noisy for some guests. it's considered a stunning renovated townhouse, with attention to detail in the decor and a nice breakfast.

The hotel features beautiful furnishings. I appreciated the rooftop cafe. The staff was willing to help (they were always available).
Street noise made it difficult to sleep. The room could have been cleaner. The location was somewhat distant from major attractions.
