Polo Floatel Kolkata
I was completely surprised to discover this floating hotel—such a unique and beautiful concept! The location is super convenient, and the overall vibe is absolutely stunning. Every staff member I interacted with was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel so personal and warm. If you're into Instagram-worthy moments, this place is pure magic—every corner is photogenic. The breakfast was an absolute highlight: flavorful curries, fresh naan, zapati, and a wide array of sweet treats that made mornings unforgettable. Even though it's a floating property, the rooms are cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. My only minor note is that toilet paper and tissues weren’t available anywhere—even inside the rooms—which might be more of a local norm rather than a hotel oversight. But honestly, that didn’t take away from my amazing experience. I absolutely loved this hotel and would 100% recommend it to friends and family. A true gem in Kolkata!

I had a fantastic time during my training session here, and honestly, it felt more like a relaxing getaway than a work trip.

The Stadel
I was really impressed with my stay at The Stadel overall—everything exceeded my expectations. The only minor quirk was the pool schedule, which runs until 9:00 PM and then reopens at 6:00 PM, leaving a gap in between—slightly confusing but not a dealbreaker. Also, towels in the pool area are charged, which I found a bit surprising, though it’s a small thing. That said, these didn’t detract from the excellent experience at all. The staff truly made the difference—special thanks to the front desk team, especially Sony, the bar staff at the Egyptian Bar, the manager, and the restaurant waitstaff. Everyone was warm, professional, and attentive. The ambiance is elegant, the location is convenient, and the value for money is outstanding. I’ll definitely recommend this hotel to friends and colleagues—and I’m already planning to come back myself.

I especially appreciated the small balcony with built-in storage cabinets, which gave me a great place to stash luggage and personal items. The mini-fridge and baby bottle warmer were a game-changer for my little one—they made life so much easier during our trip.
