Interesting location
The location is excellent with fantastic views of the river. One should stay for this reason alone. Having said that, the condition of the hotel needs to be improved. Quite run down in many places. Simple things like good choice of TV channels (especially the News and Sports channels), tissue boxes in the room etc. should be looked at

Don't even try
Pathetic service, stinking room, dirty washroom.
So much could have been done with this property. Its an excellent case study to show how one can destroy value of a property with so much intrinsic potential.
I had booked 2 nights, but checked out after spending one night.

Uncomfortable hotel better to avoid.
We had a very uncomfortable stay for 5 nights in this hotel.
The location and view from room was the only positive point, rest everything was bad. The room was smallest I have seen any this type of hotels, the bed was ridiculously small,could hardly accommodate two adult persons. The bathroom was also very small with defective plumbing. The lift lobbies and the lifts stink.
The gangway bridge was shaky and difficult to walk.wifi was not free and exhorbitingly costly. Breakfast spread was average but the service in the restaurant is below standard. Food prices are very high.
I would not advise anyone to stay in this hotel.

Great Night-life attraction in Kolkata
We reached the place close to midnight, though its a bit far from airport- you see the place, you will love it! Its just as good you can dream a place for a nice, comfy and soothing environment for your self or family!

Good Property Badly Maintained
The hotel has a lovely location. It floats on the river Ganges. The view from the room is excellent.
But the property is not well maintained. The room was very small and it was full of old wooden furniture which had outlived their utility. Rooms are not cleaned properly. The room service is poor and most of the staff members have a laid back attitude.
The bathroom was stinky and the tiles were full of stains.
The restaurant serving the breakfast has a good ambiance. But the breakfast spread is not plenty. The croissants and other bakery items are served cold.
We noticed inefficiency everywhere. The staff at the reception had no knowledge of our booking made wth hotels.com long back. On producing the print out of the hotels.com voucher they were kind enough to provide us a room.

Needs a big lick of paint
1 star hotel charging 5 star prices, needs a lot of modernisation furniture still from the 50's and looked vey worn, carpets smelt like they have never been changed, staff were friendly and polite making the best of trying to keep the hotel clean and presentable, felt very sorry for them as even their uniform was unclean. Ridiculous charges at bar and restaurant bottle of kingfisher was over 400 Rupees over 4 times the price to other places which had far better décor, Floatel hotel living on past glories. only good thing I can write is breakfast was okay with varied foods.

Good concept of a floating hotel
I had booked the Ganges facing room but the view is best avoidable with filth flowing in the river. Only the view of Howrah bridge is worth looking at, that too in night. I took ill on my way to the hotel and after 3 reminders, utter confusion and 90 minutes later I get one tablet of the medicine that I had requested. I had booked an emergency flight to rush back home due to my bad heath but the hotel could manage any cab for almost an hour in spite of their assurances earlier and they did not have a cab service of their own. I had to ultimately cancel my flight and lose money on the same. The room had a distinct stink. Food was passable.

Change of pace
Oh, I don't know. Overall, it was OK. The food prices in the restaurant are HIGH by India standards, especially by Kolkata standards. The dining room is overstaffed and thus is somewhat disorganized. Overall, I think the hotel has tried to figure out every way to get as much money as possible out of all guests. However, they did not charge me to use the phone in the lobby; guests cannot dial outside the hotel from their rooms.

noisy
very helpful staff, needing refurbished, but it was the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. With about 25 rooms and about 10 function suites, noise was almost continual. If you want a good nights sleep go elsewhere.

Getting used to this Hotel
It's my second time in this hotel. The reason why I had book it for the second time was to explore the feel of floating while staying inside Room. I should say there wasn't anything of that sort I had felt. It is a good hotel though with prominent service. Food price is exorbitantly high though.

Awesome!!
That was one heck of a night I had staying in this Hotel, Receptionist are kind enough to pack me a bag of breakfast early in the morning while I left, Good ambiance and a perfect Hotel to stay if you are trying to catch an early morning train from Howrah. Food was good, However they didnt have much of a variety!

smelly
The drainage is not proper due to which even after you flush the toilet, after some time when you return you find it dirty. the filth is collecting from other rooms usage as well. This is a serious issue. The toilets smell all the time and it smells upto the room as well.
