"Comfortable respite in a chaotic city" The Kenilworth Tip by Callavetta

The Kenilworth, Kolkata (Calcutta): 199 reviews and 9 photos

 
 

On a business trip with lots of moves and short stays, when you get back home it can be very hard to remember the details of the places you stayed; what you liked and what you didn't. So let me write quickly my impressions of the Kenilworth in Kolkuta:

Friendly arrival and gracious check in
Restaurant (buffet) just off the lobby that was accommodating in allowing us to order some appetizers from the menu after the restaurant had closed
Horrible red wine!
A Christmas tree in the lobby, the first I had seen in India in our nearly two weeks
A lobby restroom with an attendant

Must have been a perfectly comfortable room, but I had twin beds. I don't remember not being comfortable though.

Unique Qualities: There was a nicer restaurant and a English pub type bar that my colleagues went to but I missed it.

The hotel also arranged box breakfasts for us for our very early morning departure (5 am!)
