Guest reviews for The HHI Kolkata

3 out of 5

HHI Kolkata is by no means a 5 star hotel

Despite pleasant lobby appearance and a truly great restaurant, the HHI Kolkata is by no means a ""luxury"" hotel. Service is amazingly inefficient (cashiers slow, lots of paperwork at sign-up, kept calling about check-out time, though it was on appplication), staff is not at all knowledgeable about the sites (concierge gave wrong times for open times of nearby sites, the duty manager pleaded ignorance because he hadn't been back in Kolkata for long, there were no decent maps available) and they forgot my wake-up call, so I would have missed a meeting had I not woken up on my own. They charged me for a taxi ride I didn't take, then took an hour to clear it off my bill. Rooms are old and dated (look like a 50s/60s motel in the US). But their Indian restaurant has great food and the location is quite central. After staying in a real 5 star in Bangalore, where we ate everything we wanted, both my colleague and I got sick within a day of staying at the Kolkata (eating only in the hotel).
