I visited Shantiniketan after a long time and got to know about this hotel through this site. Initially I was little hesitant to book the hotel after reading a few not so good reviews but the photos at the website looked tempting. I called them in advance and they said they have a few rooms available and I can choose... More

We did not plan our stay at Hotel Royal Bengal when we boarded the train to Shantiniketan. While on our way to the Vishwa Bharati Campus, this hotel caught our sight. It looks grand from outside. We at once decided and checked-in. The hotel carries rich taste in every sphere. The green lawn, which is a fusion of rural and... More

I visited Shantiniketan for the first time. Its a must visit for Art and Culture loving people. Got to know about the hotel from Tripadvisor. The ambience of the hotel was very homely. The staffs were very friendly. Charges for the rooms were moderate @ Rs 1200 for A.C. rooms. There were executive rooms at higher floors but our budget... More

May be considered a nice hotel by local standards, but very trying for international tousrists visiting Tagore's Shantiniketan. Price was reasonable at about INR 6000 per head for 2 nights with meals. We visited during the famous Spring Festival and booked a package. Airconditioner in the room worked, but we were not allowed to keep the remote controller in the... More

I would like to say that my mother and I had such a horrible experience at this hotel that I felt obliged to join tripadvisor.com just so that I could write a review for this hotel! Going by the grand website and the awesome pictures that were available online, I thought this would be a great hotel to take my... More

Though the photos displayed at the booking centre looked attractive, the actual experience was a disaster ! The package deal for the New Year Eve, which seemed cost-effective came as a rude shock. The hotel lacks total hygiene consciousness - bathrooms were dirty and towels provided torn and tattered. The concept of room cleaning does not exist as nobody cleaned... More

We stayed in this hotel for 1 night. Specially selected this place as it was near to my aunt's house. Good quick service, staff went out of the way to be fast and reliable. Food was tasty but needs to put some real maintenance when it comes to the bathroom. Altogether, good value for the money we paid. More
