⏰ check in 13.00 hrs check out 11.00 hrs 🅿 Free Parking 🏊♀ Swimming Pool Activity 🤾♂️🚴♂️ 💼 Business Centre 🏋♂ Fitness Centre 🛫 Airport Kolkata 60 km 🐾Pets not allowed 🤷♂Language spoken: English,Bengali, Hindi I visited this 4 star resort Hotel in December 2023 with my wife to spend a quiet time on our Anniversary. We checked in at 11.30 pm and the process was smooth. The resort nestled on the bank of Hooghly river amidst all round solitude of a gated area in Raichak . We booked in a Double Delux room with river view. Let us now move to the review of facilities and my experience ( Rating have been assigned in a Scale of 1 to 5 , 5 being highest):- A. Location : Located in the wilderness , nestled on the bank of the river , 50 km from Kolkata. True the the name , the hotel is located at the site of the fort built by the British in 1783 as a residency of 65 British soldiers under commander General Richard Watson, to keep a watch on the traffic on Hooghly river towards Calcutta. The fort was restored and converted into the hotel. The old British and French flavour is the real plus of the property. The gate, entrance to the property you over a wooden wooden bridge over a curated lily pool, all add to the theme. (Rating 4.5). B. Room : The Superior River View room in the fifth floor that we booked was about 320 square feet with a verandah facing the river. Room was elegantly furnished with matching fittings, has a large 70 inch bed with side tables on both sides, a wardrobe, a dressing and luggage storage area. Bed was rightly soft, comfy with linens . The room had wooden flooring and clean and have amenities like tea making facility. Adequate bottles of water are provided and tea pouches replaced every day. Toilet is big in size and with a bath tub. Toilet is fitted with sanitary fitings of acceptable quality and geyser. Toileteries like shampoo pouches and body lotion were provided. Quality of toileteries are not upto the standard of a 4 star property. Room is well lit with good central air conditioning with large window. Additional pillows and blankets are provided on request. But the room lacks maintenance and need immediate rennovation. The furniture looked dated, the toilet in particular is in poor shape. Sanitary fittings and plumbing looks horrolibly dated, towels are torn needing immediate replacement, bath tub looks passed its working life since ages. The toilet drainage gives a stink due to lack of cleaning. It appears the current operator must have lost interest in the property. After paying Rs. 9.5 k per night , this is what you least expect. (Rating 3.75 ) C. Facilities : The resort has all facilities that you require for a relaxed holiday amidst nature. There is a reception area , a hall leading to the restaurant, where used artifacts of Watson family and guns used by the regiment are nicely diaplayed. The decor if the hall matches to the whole theme. The property have a swimming pool, spa, tenis court, billiards room, game room.They have a multi cuisine restaurant overlooking the river, where buffet breakfast is served and all other meals are served on sit down basis There is a indoor games and kids play area. The breakfast is included in the tariff and spread is sumptuous .(Rating 4.75) D. Dining options: The hotel has a multi cuisine restaurant named 'Reflections', where good variety of cuisines are served . A hotel of thus stature is expected to offer multiple restaurants.(Rating 3). E. Overall service : The hotel has very well behaved team of staff at the reception and also at its housekeeping and dining room. All requests are met immediately with a smile. On our request, they arranged a niceprivate candle lit dinner and also kind to present us a complimentary cake. (Rating 4.5) Overall: Location, solitude, space and view are the major plus points. Lack of rennovation of the room is a major put off. (OVERALL RATING 4) …

Undestaffed, Overpriced, overhyped and Mismanaged place. Not worthy of a 5 star hotel. Restaurant is Pathetic in terms of service. Not big enough to accommodate all the guests. You will get a long waiting list even though you have checked in. Food items will long time to refill, to the point that you will feel like not eating. Staff are not very friendly.

Excellent food! The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had. The lunch buffet was lavish. The complimentary cake the hotel baked for my parents’ anniversary was delicious. Service in the restaurant was wonderful. The staff organized a candle light dinner. I think the person who was helping us out was called Sujeet or Sudeep. Deserves a special mention. The property is very nice but it was extremely hot when we went (not their fault!) so a bit difficult to really enjoy it. I wish the lobby were air conditioned too. One small suggestion I have is to serve the welcome drink in glasses and not paper cups. That was a bit tacky for such a fancy property. Definitely worth a drive down from Kolkata. The view from the room of the river beyond the gardens was lovely. Go for the food if nothing else. …

I had a mixed feeling. Staff were courteous. Food was ok. But the hotel surely needs a refurbishment. Lift is scary with very dim light and most of the buttons needs to be repaired. The lift itself needs cleaning. I find cleanliness to be a major issue everywhere. The swimming pool needs to be cleaned. It gathered moss inside the pool walls. Once highlighted the games room incharge said that since there is a constant flow of tourists they are not getting time to clean the pool. The rooms need to be cleaned better.

The only plus about the hotel in that it has a nice lawn and greenery . The hotel is terribly maintained and rooms in shambles . The rooms need a complete spruce up and it’s not worth staying here at all . There are very frequent power cuts with the whole hotel being in the dark . The generator takes too long to start and even after it does the AC does not go on . The wifi in the hotel does not work and if you have a JIO connection then there is just no mobile data connectivity . The housekeeping needs to pay attention while getting the room set up for the next guest as even basics like lights not functioning are not checked .

I am still at the property while writing the review. The property is nice, a lot of space, nice for spending time with family. But that's basically it. The service is beyond poor! Not to blame the staff, they are polite and try their best. But they are seriously understaffed in kitchen and service. A cup of tea took 25 mins in the afternoon, a plate of French fries couldn't be delivered to room in 1 hour. When you are charging a premium such service is unacceptable.

The property is well maintained but if you choose anything other than Gangakutir or the Fort itself you may be disappointed as after paying a decent amount you will get nothing. Honestly speaking in many places, we stayed better property in a remote location say in front of a lake or even Taki there is one hotel where all the rooms can enjoy the beauty of Ichamati. Also I like to mention the ethics of the admin. The room that provided to us had defects such as no TV running, issue in tap in the bathroom. Now while taking breakfast one of the manager told, to compensate they'd provide the lunch. But during the lunch they simply denied. Very unprofessional

Staff is short. Reception sfaff is non helping and not polite. They are feeling of Sonar Bangla. They give feeling that we are inferior to them. Room maintenance is poorest. Room cleaning is bad even to 1star * property. Room bathroom fitting are very old and are not in maintenance. Cart service within resort room to cottage and Villa is most poor even they work like bangal government staff type.
