this is one hotel with a great history and tradition. Service is superb. Main buffet restaurant is great. Thai restaurant is failing to make any mark. Swimming pool needs a refurbishment. Mr. Sarcar in the concierge is an institution by himself. This must be the best hotel in kolkata.

I had such a lovely time at the hotel. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The Thai resturant provided lovely food as did the bar. The hotel is beautifully furnished too and well set up for the business traveller.

Well, what a hotel! What follows is a bit of a “gushing” review but this hotel is exceptional. On arrival you turn off the street which is lined with stalls with all the noise and hustle and bustle of a Calcutta street market and you are saluted by the gate staff in welcome. You then drive into the absolute calm... More

A charming heritage hotel in the heart of Kolkata, near the bustling New Market. More than the hotel, its the service, the hospitality that's impeccable - right from the reception, to the security to the waiters in the restaurant. I had a medical emergency during our stay & had to spend some time in a hospital. It was commendable -... More

I cannot recommend the Oberoi highly enough. It is a stunning hotel. The rooms are elegant, spacious and extremely comfortable. The outdoor pool area is a perfect place to relax and seek respite from the heat. The day spa is also world class. The feature "Thai" restaurant has a varied and interesting selection as does the more casual bistro. It... More

We were visiting Kolkata for few days and spent our New Years Eve there. The Oberoi was the right choice to spend our stay. Hotel is surrounded by busy streets and shops and lots of people. But as soon as you enter the hotel It feels like home.

No amount of amenities or gizmos are a substitute for solid old world hospitality. This hotel truly is a gem. I do not hesitate one bit when I say that my stay here was probably one of my most enjoyable hotel stays till date. Exceptional team. Especially the experience in the restaurants and the in-room dining experience were wonderful.

We stayed for a family reunion. Hotel is in the heart of Kolkata on one of the busiest streets with a huge market behind the hotel building......once you step in to reception (past the friendly and efficient security) there was nothing but relaxed calm!!
