Lonely Planet "Probably offers the best value of all the ultrabudget dives. High-ceilinged rooms are as ragged as ever but there’s a somewhat atmospheric old 1st-floor sitting room and a peaceful roof terrace." Full review
Rough Guide "Cramped place, with a relaxing roof terrace; despite the surly – sometimes downright rude – service, it’s been popular with budget travellers since the 1960s... There are better rooms upstairs."

Ask for a pool-facing room, which provides a wonderful view of the memorial.
Lonely Planet "This vast, international-standard hotel has an eight-storey atrium in which cellists serenade and painters sketch." Full review
Rough Guide "Opulent showpiece hotel and still the prime address in the city, attempting to amalgamate Bengali features with the usual Taj grandeur."
Jetsetter "Lavish retreat overlooking Kolkata's largest park with a signature Taj spa and nine dining options." Full review
Michelin Guide "The Taj Bengal takes these ideas of culture, grandeur and retreat and runs with them, predictably accommodating an ongoing parade of heads of state, and packing itself with Bengali artworks.
