A great little boutique hotel. Family run to a very high standard. Very friendly and smilely. It makes us fee welcomed and gives you a clean room but as everything commensurates with the price. I would say it is on the fair side. All amenities work as they should but we were unhappy about the speed on in house wi-fi which the ower says it was raining.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff and the service they provided was excellent. Our room house keeper was so helpful and kept our room spotless. Sometimes when we came to our room at night we found swans or snakes made out of towels - A lovely surprise.

My birthday happened to fall during the time I was staying at the Swissotel Kolkata. I hadn't mentioned this to anyone at the hotel. However, the staff were so attentive in every way that they must have taken note of my birthday on my passport when we checked in and had a cake delivered to my room. It was very thoughtful and unexpected and serves as just one example of how closely the staff pays attention to detail.
The hotel is also very conveniently located next to a 4 story outdoor...
