I booked directly with the hotel via e-mail and was very pleased to be immediately offered an upgrade to a Premier Room for the price of a Standard Room with breakfast included at a rate of 9500 rupees a night plus 10% tax. On arrival at the airport a hotel representative was waiting for us within the airport just after... more

We were delighted by this hotel, which achieved exactly the right balance of luxury and friendliness and was our favourite hotel of our whole trip, which included The Imperial, Delhi, The Taj Ganges, Varanasi, the Amar Vilas, Agra and the Samode Haveli, Jaipur. We particularly enjoyed the food by the pool and in La Terasse Restaurant, where the service is... more

A beautiful hotel with sumptuous rooms and service that can't be faulted. Well done Oberoi! This was our second visit inside a year and it lived up to our fullest expectations. Oberoi hotels request that you tip at the end of your stay which is fantastic and takes away any worries you might have about whether (and how much) you... more

From the moment we arrived at the Oberoi Grand, until the moment we left four nights later, my husband and I had the most wonderful stay. The amazing service and special attention to our every need was such that for a couple of days, we wondered if they mistakenly thought we were VIPs. We were paying Rs11,500 per night, which... more

If you are in Calcutta, this is definitely the place to stay! The service is phenomenal, the rooms top notch, and the food delicious. We just couldn't get over how fabulous the service was! The breakfast selection is excellent, and the pool delightful. more

My stepdaughter and I stayed here for 5 nights to attend a wedding in Kolkata. The room (222) was wonderful, looking out on to the gardens and the service was five star. The staff attended to our every request with courtesy and efficiency. We were both wearing saris to the wedding and two of the staff even came to our... more
