"I was visiting from New York during December 20-23 and stayed in room 204. While booking this place (Dover Inn next to the Gariahat Police Station), I was hesitant because of some scary reviews among other good ones. I am writing this review to negate most of such extremely negative reviews, and also offer some friendly suggestions. First of all, the location of this Boutique hotel is "Outstanding". Second, the service and warmth I received, was "Outstanding". I wish to specially mention...
"The property is new, and the facilities are well maintained. The property is a bit inside of the main road, so spotting it might be a hassle. The rooms are actually very small in size, and that is an issue(for some, maybe).
Also the hotel doesn't allow food from outside(to promote their costly in-room dining facilities), which is a hassle.
Overall, the stay is awesome if we don't take into account the small rooms and no outside food policy. Have stayed for only one day, so can't really comment...
"The rooms are rather small but the price is right. Neighborhood is great, Rabindra Sarovar and park, metro and restaurants close by. Feels safe. Good breakfast, bar on the terrace and there is also a restaurant."
"The property needs some serious attention and renovation.
The beds, the bathrooms when checked in was very dirty- had to ask the staff to replace it right away. Location if fine, but the property itself needs upgrade "
"Booked and paid through Expedia but hotel did not accept reservations. When trying to inquire l, no response from hotel staff. Numbers on website don’t seem to work. Expedia blaming hotel and vice versa. Not sure who is responsible for this but don’t recommend booking this hotel on Expedia. It’s a fraud! "
