"What a treat! This palace is a beautiful and unique place to stay. The host is 10th generation of the Roys (Rajbari) and gave us a fascinating tour while explaining the history of the palace and the family’s efforts to restore it. The palace continues to play a significant role in the educational and cultural life of the local community to this day. While visiting the Victoria Memorial building in Kolkata we noticed that honourable mention is made of the Roys family for their work in advocating for educational advancement. The family and the palace have faced a series of challenges and upheavals over the years, not least being initially placed in East Pakistan during partition before being reclaimed as part of Indian West Bengal. It is a rare gift to be able to learn about this a family who were so personally impacted by historical events. Cossimbazar Palace is a the best place to stay if you want to explore the many significant heritage sites of nearby Murshidabad. It was a real privilege to stay here, we loved everything about it."

"If I could give this 0 stars I would. The room was dirty, the sheets and towels were dirty. The bathroom was dated and dirty. The fridge was rusty. The windows didn’t shut properly so the mosquitos got in and we were woken in the night by what sounded like someone retching outside. We stayed one night because we had to and left early the next morning."

"We stayed in a ground floor suite near the dining hall and that was very convenient for seniors like us. Our suite was very clean and very nicely furnished. To me, the outstanding feature of the resort was the behaviour of the staff. They always greeted us with a smile. They never expected tips unlike their counterparts in bigger cities. The big open ground inside the resort was very nicely maintained and excellent for morning walks. We didn’t use the gym or spa area, but they looked good. Food was nice and we liked the taste very much. Suggestions for improvement : 1) Elevators and wheel chair access to all the blocks would make the place more attractive to senior people and overseas visitors. 2) A locked tipping box at the reception area will ensure that all the lovely staff get some incentive for their excellent work. 3) Parking was a bit congested as there was an International Lion’s Club meet the day we left.

"Beautiful property nestled in nature. The main attraction is the surrounding nature and how the property incorporates the nature in its services. Excellent service and very helpful staff. Will definitely visit again "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Bengal Hotel. The rooms , bathrooms and other areas of the hotel were very clean. The staff were very friendly and answered all our queries. The restaurant has great food and is reasonably priced. I would recommend staying at this hotel when visiting Bolpur"
