Hotels Near Beltala playground in Kolkata

Preference was for hotel near airport. This hotel is bang on the busy road of Kolkata. Rooms are smaller and suitable only for one person per room. Somehow hotel is loved by north East Indians, south East Asians and Chinese folks. Ac was good. Shower was well quarantined. Overall Breakfast preparation was bit salty. May be chef can evaluate the reasons. On last day at breakfast I casually asked, why don’t they keep some Bengal sweet at breakfast?, as a delight, I was offered authentic jaggery Rosogolla!!

Awesome experience with the checkin , checkout and the sleep. The location , close to the airport fits well for the frequent travellers as you save time in transit . Sonam at the bfast table took exceptional care and attended proactively to our needs .

Thanks to Priyanka our first trip to Kolkata went smoothly. She provided a lot of assistance for exchanging money, arranging the shuttle to the airport for the next morning, and giving directions for how to get to the nearby attractions. She also upgraded our room from deluxe to premium for free. We really appreciated her help.

We booked a night here at the Holiday Inn Kolkata hotel. I have stayed in Holiday Inn chennai as well. However, the standards of cleanliness and amenities and the room, the bathroom fittings and floor were low and some areas felt unsanitized as well. The floor in the room also lacked cleanliness. They also had a torn bedsheet on our bed which I asked them to remove and they very quickly and diligently changed it. However, I was disappointed since the finishing checks if the room is in good condition for the next guest needs improvement. The walls lacked lustre. And we paid approximately 62 EUR. Maybe they need to check the standards of other Holiday Inns like in Chennai. Food that we ordered was nice. 10/10 on that. But somehow the brand that Holiday Inn is and that we experienced in Kolkata was a huge mismatch. I hope they look into all this.

The staff were courteous. The gym facility was decent. The buffet breakfast was good too. The best part is that it is very close to airport . The room was great though it was a bit small in size . Front desk staff Ms Tika was very helpful and friendly. Just loved her customer service .

Clean, very good service staff All facilities Convenient shopping center Traveling near the airport There is a swimming pool and fitness. receptionist and the rest of the service is very good

A Semi-Govt property constructed with the right intention. Great option for single traveller - both leisure and business. As of now, the property is clean and crisp given its infancy. Hope, the authorities do the proper upkeep which is usually lacking in Govt/Semi-Govt properties. Rooms - fresh and airy. Clean washrooms. Spacious compound where you can chill out. Location being on the city's periphery may be inconvenient for some. Car parking available for guest. Buffet breakfast served could be better. Highly VFM place with option of monthly rental which makes it even greater value. Recommended if location is not an issue.

The facilities and presentation of the hotel were very good and the breakfast in the dining hall was unique, a facility which is rarely seen in a generally small budget hotel.

I shall start from arrival at the hotel. We were a family of four who had booked two rooms at the property. We arrived around 14:30 Hrs (at least 30 mins after the designated check-in time). First of all, although the check-in desk at the hotel is quite huge, there were only 3 staff members ***ning the desk, all of them occupied. We had to wait for around 15 mins, looking here and there like *****s with our bags on before someone greeted us. And I do not mind waiting for check-in; what I do mind is that despite multiple staff members seeing us wait, not one of them acknowledge our presence and asked us to take a seat and wait. They would all look at us and carry on. Forget a warm smile, forget a namaste, we were made to feel like fools just standing there without anyone attending to us. When we finally did get a chance to check in, we were given two adjacent rooms. The key to one room was handed over to us, and we were told that the second room is not ready yet and that as soon as it is ready the key would be sent to us in our room. We said okay and moved towards our room. Once in our room, all four of us sat waiting in one room for around 45 mins for the key to the second room. We were not able to unpack because we wanted to unpack in our respective rooms. Tired and hungry, we left the hotel to get ourselves some lunch and some sightseeing, hoping that by the time we return our second room would be ready. When we returned and asked for the key to the second room from the reception desk, we were told that the room that was allocated to us had been now given to someone else -- and we were given some other room that was ”close” to the first room. I understand that asking for adjacent rooms is a mere request and not a right. But had we been given a ”close” room earlier, we could have gotten the keys earlier at the time of check-in! We waited for a room for so long, only for it to be given to someone else. Fast forward to the next morning's breakfast. The spread was quite good and quite diverse in variety. However, again the entire staff at the breakfast looked tense for some reason. And they kept messing up with live counter orders. No one had a smile on, no one welcomed you with warmth, and no one made you feel as if you were staying in a 5-star hotel (which The Lalit considers itself to be). Our entire experience with The Lalit was below par at the very least. It was not the kind of experience you would expect from a branded property that so conveniently calls itself a luxury 5-star property. I honestly feel for the money that I paid, I could and should have gotten a different property and that would have been definitely better. For the foreseeable future, and till things change, I do not see myself staying at any Lalit property.
