Front desk Ms.Sanjana was really great service. Overall friendly staff
An excellent place to stay right on the river with views of river traffic and bridges. Excellent restaurant service and bar inside and outside with full menu that will also work for more Western tastes. Within a mile of major Indian rail system. One of few or possibly only floating hotel.
It’s situated on river Ganges, so location is unique.

The property is a repurposed ship which is a cool idea. The Bengali buffet lunch was great. The breakfast was amazing. The view was really beautiful as you are on the Ganges river and the Hooghly bridge is in front of you, from your room. But the property is very old and has not been upgraded. The room we were in, had a dirty old carpet with stains and the walls had old paint. The bathroom was clean. The room was probably very near the kitchen as we got lot of smells when we stepped into the balcony. The corridor also smelled of food. My suggestion is that the kitchen should not be kept so near the rooms and can be moved to the main entry area away from the boat which houses the rooms. The concept and property was very beautiful but unfortunately its not being managed well. Its worth a visit to dine, but the rooms need upgrades.

The stay was nice, except for the music from the restaurant, which was unbearable.
ROOM WAS DIRTY. THE WOODEN FLOOR WAS BROKEN EVERWHERE. ROOM WAS INFESTED WITH BUGS COCKROCHES AND INSECTS. LIGHTING IN ROOM WAS VERY POOR. THE WOODEN DESK WAS CRACKED AND NEEDS POLISHING.
TOILET WASH BASIN WAS GETTING CLOGGED. NO COMPLIMENTARY MINERAL WATER PROVIDED. WAS CHECKED IN AT 4-30 PM AFTER WAITING FOR 2 HOURS. NO WELCOME DRINK PROVIDED. NO INFORMATION GIVEN REGARDING BREAKFAST TIMING AND LOCATION. NO PROPER BELL BOY SERVICE HAS TO CARRY THE BAGGAGE. NO CAR PARKING PROVIDED HAD TO PARK ON ROAD.
ROOM SERVICE MENU WAS HIGHLY PRICY. PRICE WAS HIGHER THAN A 5 STAR HOTEL.
BREAKFAST WAS EXCEELENT ONLY PLUS POINT.
This is definitely one of those places that is just running on past glory. The room was super cramped and had a damp smell. We also saw visible mold on the shower curtains and my fiance immediately started having a reaction to it. There was extremely loud music playing way past 2 am. There was a lot of noise coming from upstairs and the corridor from the early morning. Kids were running around making noise without supervision. Finally, when we went for breakfast, the host was super rude and basically shouted at us for coming in late for the breakfast buffet and threw the menu at us when we wanted to do a la carte. We left without having breakfast and rest assured will never return here again.
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
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.
Experience was pathetic, no spa, no gym, no wifi in the rooms..Luckily it was only one night otherwise it would have been a nightmare!!!

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.
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!
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.

The kitchen staff was really good
Toilet was not good condition also room cleanliness could do with more work and cleanliness
The people at the hotel are really good that is what makes it work
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.
Chambre sale et air conditionné trop fort. On ne peut pas le regler et meme en appelant la reception, rien n'a changé. Dommage car le cadre peut etre sympa.
