"Excellent "

"Chnmoy did great job in room cleaning. Reception and restaurant staff were amazing. Chef did up delicious glass noodles twice. Thank you"

"Gorgeous "

"The room was spotless, and the staff were very responsive. Check-in and check-out were smooth. However, the view out of the window was depressing: old, abandoned, multi-storied government quarters. I realize that the hotel cannot do anything about it. Our room keys often failed, and they needed to be rekeyed. This was for multiple rooms that our family used. So it looks like a more general problem. While the staff was very responsive and addressed the issue immediately, this did cause us some inconvenience. The location is unbeatable. Very close to the Gariahat and all the hustle and bustle. A lot of street food and street shopping options are within walking distance. The hopping malls are not far either. We used the hotel car for a few trips and airport pickup and dropoff. They are reasonably priced, and the drivers were great. Ubers were also very easy to get. The restaurant is nice. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet. However, the Indian options for lunch and dinner were often too spicy. They may be intended for Indian guests, but they are too spicy for Western palates. This is unlike the other 5-star restaurants in India I experienced on the same trip. "

"Good place"

"The hotel was wonderful. I was a solo traveler and felt very safe here. The concierge Amit seemed to be looking out for me. He was very helpful in everyway. I was able to walk to India Museum from this hotel as well as Saint John's Church for the Black hole of Kolkata memorial. The breakfast in the morning was very nice, although the staff did seem to have a hard time keeping everything fully stocked. I would definitely stay again."

"A Royal Masterpiece: Exceptional Service at Taj Raajkutir Taj Raajkutir is more than just a hotel; it is a stunning journey into the elegance of the Bengal Renaissance. While the "Zamindari" style architecture is breathtaking, it is the world-class hospitality that makes this property truly unforgettable. The Stars of the Stay The level of personalized care we received was extraordinary, specifically thanks to three standout individuals: * Urvija (General Manager): Her leadership shines through every detail of the property. It is rare to see a GM so dedicated to the guest experience, ensuring a seamless and sophisticated stay for everyone. * Krishnakanta: His professionalism and "guest-first" attitude were remarkable. He anticipated our needs before we even spoke them, embodying the very best of the Taj spirit. * Anusree, Ankur, Rohit , Chandan, Aziziil, Shipra were all amazing at the restaurant East India Room. Warm, intuitive, and incredibly helpful, Anusree added a personal touch to our visit that made us feel like family rather than just visitors. Highlights * The Vibe: A peaceful, colonial-style sanctuary hidden within the city. * The Food: Exquisite flavors that celebrate local heritage. * The Service: Authentic "Tajness" delivered with heart and soul. Verdict: If you are visiting Kolkata, Taj Raajkutir is a must. Huge thanks to Urvija, Krishnakanta, and Anusree for making our stay so spectacular! "
