What guests think

Travellers describe Taj Bengal as a welcoming, comfortable base in Kolkata, with consistently warm, attentive staff and widely praised breakfasts and restaurants, balanced by recurring comments that some rooms and furnishings feel dated and occasional maintenance or service lapses occur.

Rooms are frequently described as comfortable and spacious, but some mention small bathrooms, occasional noise, musty odours, or sporadic Wi‑Fi difficulties. Guests highlight a grand lobby, relaxing pool and spa, and excellent salon; a few mention an underwhelming bar or worn items like pool towels. The location is generally convenient for Victoria Memorial and major areas, though a handful note it can feel a bit removed. Best for travellers seeking a comfortable, well-run base rather than cutting‑edge modernity.

This was an excellent stay for us. The rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They used to clean our rooms twice a day which was brilliant. The swimming pool facilities were very good as well. We got an airport pick up as a part of our room package. The transport provided was very good.

The Taj met all of my expectations and way beyond. From the Senior Manager to the Duty Manager Mrs Urva all was splendid. Chu at the spa is an incredible masseuse. I felt extremely relaxed. The gentleman Kishan who serves tea is so effulgent with his smile and loving attitude. I must say my favorite person was Birmal Darnal. He was so animated and made me feel so welcome. Shout out to the housekeeping staff and the restaurant. I love it hete

Arijeet at Junction x, Rajesh in housekeeping, and Anirban at Cal 27 consistently went over and beyond. The hotel carpet and certain other furnishings need urgent remodeling, but there was nothing else that I can fault.

The staff were very helpful and courteous and made us feel very welcome. Everyone from the concierge, house keeping, fnb services and the Taj club were so welcoming and accommodating. A shout out to Bimal, Kishan, Rajesh and the team we met in the Taj Club for their impeccable hospitality. There was a particular lady from the Taj Club that really stood out from the rest but unfortunately we didn't get her name. Defintiely would stay here again!

Service for the lunch was horrible, half of the order was forgotten and came very late. Breakfast was terribly busy. They sent us to another place, swearing it was exactly the same. But they lied and we came back after a while to get normal breakfast. In sum up Hotel need refurbish Rooms need to be cleaned properly. And staff need training and profesionalism.

We have stayed for almost a week before taking a short break and planning to return for another week. The hospitality is what sets Taj Bengal apart from the rest of the innumerable 5 star hotels. Everyone is eager to please, immensely respectful and welcoming. The concierge Mr. Sanjib Ghosh has done the impossible of even getting me a premium ticket for an international India – England T20, cricket match against all odds. The night manager Mr. Tanmoy was able to extend my stay for 2 additional nights (in a full hotel!), the sous chef Kavita was attentive to everyone and the morning buffet breakfast was so enjoyable. The main restaurant Sonargaon is par excellence in ambience, decor and food, albeit a bit expensive. This is truly one of the best Bengali restaurant I have ever been to. We didn’t use the gym or the spa. But again, what sets the Taj apart is the hospitality which money cannot buy in America.

True Taj hospitality! They go out of their way to take care of every need the guests may have. I stayed for four nights during the busy time of Christmas, yet they gracefully made me feel the center of their attention!

Exceptional Service and Care for Elderly Guests. I recently had the privilege of sending my elderly father, who is also a heart patient, and our family friend to stay at the Taj Bengal in Kolkata. From the moment they arrived until their departure, the staff's dedication to ensuring their comfort and well-being was truly remarkable. The airport transfers were seamless, thanks to the assistance of Sanjib Ghosh, Mr. Arjun, Tanmoy Biswas, and the entire team. Their attention to detail and personalized service made a lasting impression on me and provided me with the reassurance and confidence to send my elderly parent to this hotel alone again in the future. Throughout their stay, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my father and our family friend felt welcomed and cared for. The level of professionalism, warmth, and dedication exhibited by the front desk staff, concierge, and everyone involved in their stay was truly exceptional. I cannot express enough gratitude to the team at Taj Bengal for their outstanding hospitality. They have set a benchmark for what it means to provide exceptional service and care for elderly guests, particularly those with medical conditions. If you have elderly family members or loved ones visiting Kolkata, you can trust the Taj Bengal to treat them with the utmost respect, compassion, and attentiveness. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious and comfortable stay coupled with top-notch service.

I booked The Taj for 5 star services, however i was disappointed how they handled communication where i ended up paying Rs 7000. If you need transportation services to or from hotel please take it carefully. When i brought this concern to hotel they mention they will bring this to their staff members and nothing has been reported yet. Not worth this place !!

The staff are amazing. I contacted the concierge several times to ask for information and to arrange airport transfers and a city tour and they responded quickly. There was always someone there to help if I had any questions. Sanjib, the concierge, was superb and came and found me to check everything was OK and to ask if there was anything else I wanted to do. My driver Aftab was excellent. A very good driver and companion in the car. Also Debojyoti on the travel desk made sure everything happened on time and as planned. An excellent stay. Would recommend for the level of service.
