Its not yet an open restaurant.. very hard to locate even.. 10-15 mins walking distance from shyambazar metro.. we were not aware that one needs to book then come.. they told to wait for 1-1:30 mins.. its way too much.. and these informations should be clearly stated in Zomato..
A beautiful heritage house with its unique charm. Visited this place few days back and I’m speechless by its old world vibe and beautiful decor. Situated just near Shyambazar Metro station this place is perfect for a staycation. We visited the cafe and had a wonderful experience. The staff is courteous and friendly. We ordered a Roasted Chicken Pizza which was really good. Good portions and taste. The coffee was also really good.
Though not exactly sprawling, this is a beautiful property. We stayed here for one night and wished we could have spent more time here. The service was commendable.
It was great to see the house decorated with lights and some old-fashioned things. Over-all very good.
Outstanding place. The people around you are amazing....the ambience of the bungalow is very pleasing..also the food quality is admiring..it has also a wonderful terrace, which is nicely decorated..No doubts the rooms are wonderful...Everything is adequately maintained...every single person in the Bungalow is so decent and friendly...specially Wasim vaiya..
Well restored to give the feeling of old Calcutta house. Decor is nice.Attended a dinner party at roof top. Space is only good for max 20 people. Food I had was not special rather ordinary.Can be good experience for international tourists but not for me for staycation in Kolkata..
Good place to relax. Food is not that great. Interior could have been better..
Best place to do photography and stay your day for feeling the heritage of kolkata.Heritage of kolkata is well known but how can you live it? You can live it here. Pure bengali culture house which belongs to British Era. Come here and you can stay. Place is a costly place as per rate publish on website. If you dont want to stay come near gate and you can click some pics with heritage building 😉
So homely and beautiful 💖 loved to visit an unique place and the staff members and service were too kind and friendly. Love the visit ,100% recommended to visit if you are thinking about it haha.
This pandemic has given us enough reasons to not to travel, so we friends decided for a staycation. But we didn’t want a modern hotel, so we zeroed upon Calcutta Bungalow. The booking process was smooth, so was the check-in process. It was a staycation to remember for all the right reasons, except one. We loved the structure, the fact that all facilities are provided without demolishing the old skeleton. The vintage is maintained so aesthetically. The decor is a 100 upon a scale of 100. We were 3 people and the extra bed was taken care of equally like the main bed. The rooms were clean. The service top notch by all the employees. I have to mention Wasim, who took take care of everything so diligently and with a smile. Polite, professional, I wish him a good future. The food was nostalgic, loved the taste, a special thanks to the chef. Everything was taken care of and a decision worth it.The only misfit in the place is the lady in the reception, Anjum. I am not judging her but she is not welcoming, her personality doesn’t suit the place, you get cold vibes. We encountered an experience with her, where we were taking photos and she said that only mobile camera is allowed and not DSLR and if we do, the charges are 15k. We tried explaining her that it was our personal vacation and we weren’t there for professional work, I myself am a photographer so I know the rules or atleast I play by the rules. She said but that’s the rule. I tried to argue with her because it’s nowhere mentioned on the website. She informed that it isn’t on the website but on Facebook. But hello, why isn’t such an important information on the well updated website? Then I asked her to contact the owner, she said he is busy, so I called up his no, Keya received the call. I explained her the issue and she confirmed that we could use our DSLR cameras.If you are a tourist, I do not know where in the world you are charged almost same as professional shoots for personal photographs. And where are tourists prohibited from taking photographs apart from few monuments? To remind you, DSLRs come a long way, they are here before mobile phones. And if you have some constraints, please have it mentioned on your website and argue with some logic. This was completely illogical and unwanted. If I forget this, everything else was perfect. I hope other travelers don’t have to face any such illogical issue.
Though put on, the place has an old world charm, the bonediyana not so evident but definitely a period piece from the old Ghoti bari of early 20th century north Kolkata. People were courteous and food was good. only if the management was a little particular about Covid protocol, wearing of masks, et al.
Great place to relax. Different experience. Staff behavior is awesome. Wasim is very helpful. Food quality is Awesome and enough.
Wonderfully restored heritage townhouse in North Kolkata with lovely & helpful staff, an eye for detail when it comes to the rooms and carefully selected products - from KAMA Ayurveda toiletries to Blue Tokai Coffee. We had a wonderful time starting the day with a fresh & healthy breakfast - considering diet restriction [vegan] - and exploring the city with insightful & fun Calcutta Walks. Highly recommend this charming boutique hotel!
The place is truly awesome... It reminds of old age heritage buildings. The food served here is marvellous.. The hospitality is awesome. The ambience is soothing....
Kolkata Within Kolkata 🙃 And The Staffs are warm hearted.
Amazing location👌🎊🎉👏Nice service and good people,
Amazing . Food was great, so fresh and tasty. Staff so well mannered and especially hospitality of Mr. Wasim. An unforgettable experience.
Best experience. feel like home. food and service are 5 star. people arround you are great. will visit again.
Must visit, and worth staying when in Kolkata!
It is a fair place for photoshoot. But not spacious at all. Small premises with beautiful decorative corners. Rooms are good but poor lighting facilities inside so incase of makeup or photography inside the rooms will require extra sources of light. Above all, the place is too much expensive as compared to its infrastructure, food and services.
This one of a kind heritage bed and breakfast is one of my most favorite places in Kolkata.The old world North Calcutta charm, the amazing rooftop decked with fairy lights throughout the year, the super super amazing food!I can go on and on about this place.Its definitely a must visit whether youre a resident of Calcutta or just visiting the city of joy!
It was a lovely experience , we had pizza there the taste was awesome .We met Keya there she is the soul to the place , she had a beautiful smile really loved chatting with her , soon we will come and stay and will spend some beautiful time .
Had a good experienceAn old heritage feeling.Friendly stuff, great breakfast.Great stay. Rooms are a bit overpriced.
One of the nicest boutique hotels I have ever stayed. The house has been renovated with love and attention to detail.What made the place truly exceptional for us was Wasims warm hospitality. As the onsite-manager he looks after the place and its guests as if it was his own hotel. He easily managed the mix between being a friend and a professional host at the same time.Highly recommended!

Nice place, friendly staff and nice roof top terrace.Check it out!
Has a really homely feeling. Wasim is a great help. He made sure everything was looked after. The rooms are well planned. The only suggestion would be to have a covered transparent terrace so that you can spend winter nights there.
Still havent received any reply of my mail...in public you are writing you will refund the money but when I am mailing you asking about the procedure of refund then you dont bother to reply.....still fooling people is it???!!!!!
This place is a genuine treasure in North Kolkata. Their prices are higher than other hotels in the area, but the price is well worth it. The whole venue has a great aesthetic that is contemporary in its quality and feel, while capturing the Old-Calcutta feel.Amenities:Their dining area is excellent for shared meals. It is an intimate area for meals and the menu is decent. The price on meals felt a bit steep, but not something I felt overly bad about. The common areas are well designed and have a good amount of space and quiet.Staff:Staff are courteous and available. Ifte, the founder, made time to swing by and say hello, which was really touching. its a passion project, and you can tell the staff are equally passionate about the space.
Beautiful place in north Kolkata...nice ambience
Worderfull palce.... Nd staff r really gd...
Very esthetic.pleasing and warm .the place is alabor of love...Excellent service .Keya and Wasim..are a delight ..energetic.enthusistic and extending beyond expectations in their care and attention.. Only one suggestion..Hot water kettle for. Tea or coffee in the room would be great.
Very beautiful place and great food
Kolkatas very old architecture , if you love historical places , must go , little bit narrow but good
Best place to enjoy the heritage of Kolkata !
Loved our stay here, Boipara room. Rooms were done up beautifully. Keya and Wassim were of great help and always available; even for 5 am breakfast calls. Definitely coming back here again soon :)
Very inviting atmosphere and rooms. Service excellent. Calcutta walks is a must for every traveller to Kolkata. Breakfast with all the other guests an absolute plus.
Beautiful the way a building of 1920 has been restored is fantastic. Great staff and awesome food.
The villa was awesome and the it was pretty well managed by the caretaker. Room was really nice and cleanliness was well maintained. Food was amazing and wifi was available. The property is centrally located.The behavior of the caretaker was very cordial.
Converting an old mansion to a new bed and breakfast and retaining its entire old world charm is a tall order and this place has done it perfectly. Its love at first sight and a new trend in Kolkata hospitality. The service is good and you feel like being in a time machine. Must stay here .
Pleasant stay
Charming little place in the heart of Kolkata. Dont get worried about the surroundings, it all actually adds to the charm of the place. Its been delicately done, and each room has a theme based on a location Kolkata. The host of the boutique stay knows the place and the city very well to curate an authentic Kolkata experience - from your room to the city of joy.
Absolutely wonderful. Gorgeous manager and caring staff. Perfect food. The best place ever!!
Nice and clean place. You will get old vibes and a good place for family reunion.
Attention to craft and detail. The rooms are cozy and charming and full of character. It is clear passion and love were poured into the planning and execution of the place.
The most lovely oasis in a fascinating and chaotic city. Everyone there is passionate and really knowledgeable about the place, its history and culture. Thank you all for a stunning and FUN week
A fantastic heritage home in old Calcutta. The rooms are well appointed in a beautiful retro aesthetic, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The main thoroughfares of North Calcutta are close at hand, making getting around the city convenient. Highly recommended.
For a big photoshoot with 10 People or more people is not proper.space is very short for placing lights.and according to budget its high with one room.
Awesome place, one must visit at least once
In the streets of old Kolkata city lies this hidden gem called Calcutta bunglow. Built in 1926, it is a heritage building with furniture and furnishings amounting to art collections. I stayed only for few hours so not sure about the type of food they provide. Inspite of a late check in they graciously arranged for a meal for us. They also arrange/cook for lunch and dinner if intimated in advance. Bengali sweets they served - mishti doi, sandesh and rasgulla- were to die for. They outsource these sweets. Please check with the chef if one needs to carry it for friends.
Best Place to Stay in Kolkata, The ancient interior is quite impressive.Food is really very good.Personal advice to the OwnerNever Ever Change your Chef 😊
Feeling heritage staying here....
Keeping the heritage of Kolkata alive... Beautiful and mesmerizing. It takes you to a different era, like you are time traveling
It was a lovely experience. Best staff and the best service. Loved every bit of it.
Awesome
Perfect stay option for heritage lovers.. Loved the stay and the hospitality of Rikhia.. However if you need instant food then it scores negative on that due to absence of in house kitchen
I called 3/4 times but they didnt receive my call.
Absolutely delightful. Awesome place a must visit. A must stay.
A beautiful initiative to preserve heritage. I have not experienced it in person but those who have speak very highly of it. Hope there will be some more heritage properties that can be saved for the posterity this way.
It was an amazing experience to be there. 💚
A beautifully restored old bungalow with modern day comfort, keeping intact the old world charm. Highly recommended
