Very good hotel,all facility excellent it is recommend for any one.

The service in this hotel is amazing. Also excellent location for walking around.

First stay - six nights standard king-size. Compared to the pricing and branding as a business hotel, my expectations were not high. I was expecting a very basic frugal room with WiFi and breakfast. The stay was of course positively far beyond expectations. An amazing hotel that has truly hand-picked the crème-de-la-crème hospitality staff and line management and providing in-room dining food options of a range and quality far beyond anything I have experienced in the last 10 years, in metro cities in 5 & 6 star properties (I have spent an average of 95 days per year in hotels in India between ITC, Taj, Hyatt, Westin and Oberoi). For experienced travellers - it is quite a well known fact that food in luxury hotels are probably one of the worst in terms of handling and freshness, although at arm-and-a--leg prices. I was first of mind to jealously keep this review away with the fear that it will become a sought-after hotel (it is already full on almost all days) - but recognition must prevail. Monotel is indeed boutique for the things that matters - i) staff cordially going the extra length, ii) food & service in general. Of course, the old adage stands: treat your hosts as family if you expect them to treat you as family :)

Excellent staff and hotel mgr- they went out of the way to be helpful-the vegetarian food in restaurant excellent-really first class. They tried take care of every detail-down to cookies delivered to your room before bedtime. Nice clean park behind-nice place to relax and watch the many chipmunks. New up market shopping center very near with one of the best restaurants in town "Oh Calcutta". Will defiantly return to this hotel.

It is a small hotel without an elevator. For families with children it is not so good but for a stay for sightseeing perfect !

Nice hotel. Staff friendly and organised for us to have a our breakfast packed.

Had a pleasant nights stay. Arrived at 2am from the airport. Cab driver didn't know where it was.

Certainly not a 4 star hotel but otherwise very good. Only negative comment is the bedding and towels were well worn and soiled. Like many hotels in Kolkata it is not in a nice area and no fast food eating places except for a McDonald 3 blocks away near Park Hotel. They only have fish, chicken and vegetarian sandwiches. Taxi drivers seem to have a hard time finding the hotel. Best if you have a map to show them. It is rather far from the airport. There were barking dogs outside the hotel that barked frequently during the night making sleeping more difficult.

Comfortable hotel in a good location. Close to shopping, sightseeing and the metro.
