Novotel Kolkata Hotel & Residences Hotel

It was good and felt like home. My kid liked the game zone and the swimming pool the most.

This was not our first trip to the Novotel. As a family of 5 we are looking for amenities, convenience, cleanliness, and value. And I must say that Novotel is 5 stars in all o these categories. I especially appreciate the friendliness of the staff. There is not a hotel in the world in this price range, in my humble experience, that can compare with Novotel Kolkata. We will definitely stay again.

We stayed here for 3 nights with two toddlers. Do not at all recommend if you are staying with families particularly small children. The hotel had banquets, fashion shows and marriage parties going on evert day, the noise was unbearable throughout the day. You could hear rock music and Bollywood music from the 12th floor late at night. Repeated complaints had no avail as they simply say it's a private function and they can't do anything. Basically they will neglect guests for cheap banquets. Housekeeping was almost non-existent. Asked for teaspoons (from IRD and HK) for my kid who needed medication to be fed by spoon but never received them. Was given the explanation that only disposable stirrers are provided. Rooms are small for a hotel of this stature and bathroom floors have very slippery wall tiles, who puts wall tiles on floor in a hotel is beyond my comprehension. My kid slipped and got his head. We asked for an anti skid pad and was told they don't have any. Seemed they don't even know what it is. There were couples of questionable nature frequenting the rooms, like those that you see in hourly rate kind of hotels. If you know I mean avoid this hotel at all costs if you are traveling with family. The only positives was our housekeeping staff Momin who did a decent job of cleaning the room, they should hire more staff like him who genuinely care for the guests. Breakfast is limited and not worth the price. There are much better options for your money.

Had booked multiple rooms with family. Good hotel, comfortable rooms. Staff polite and very obliging. However, on several occasions the room service and requests took a long time to be fulfilled and at times not fulfilled at all. Breakfast was very good, but the live action items were very slow and once again on several occasions our orders did not come through and had to be chased a few times. Overall a comfortable and good stay. Management should work on looking at speeding up some service requests.

It was a family trip, we booked two rooms for different durations. The stay overall was enjoyable. Service was very good. However, the hotel receptionist mixed up the rooms and we had to move to the other room as in the middle of our stay.
