Well I have booked from agoda for 3 nights which was a discounted price , but after 2 days when I was going to pay i was unable to complete the payment . I found out that it is a scam as the rate of the hotel was double the amount i booked for , fortunately I didn't go to.the hotel otherwise i have to pay double . I spoke to kaushik in front office and he told I can pay directly in the hotel with the same price , but may be he was not aware of the hotel price , and when I called him second time then he told u have to pay extra ,. Guys this is a scam from both agoda and hotel side . please before booking , when I told kaushik he was rather furious and told u can do whatever u want and u can review as well and he will revert me back , so u know what type of staffs are there in ethnotel . Stay away from the hotel and the agoda bookings Don't try to hide your staff mistakes by saying i have used abusive language , please check the telephonic conversation before saving your staff members and if so put that conversation details here

Responded 4 weeks ago
Thank you for providing us with your feedback regarding your experience with us. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused during your attempt to make payment for your booking through Agoda. As mentioned before, please note that the online booking payment cannot be charged directly as the online rate and direct payment rate are not the same. We would like to assure you that we do not engage in any scams and always strive to provide the best rates and services to our guests. However, during our conversation, we have repeatedly tried to explain this to you, but unfortunately, we were unable to make you understand the above points. Even we are requested you to contact Agoda's helpline directly for assistance. Furthermore, we have monitored that during the conversation, you have continuously used abusive language towards our staff, which is not acceptable at any cost. We would like to remind you that we always maintain a professional and respectful attitude towards our guests, and we expect the same from our guests in return. We appreciate your feedback, and we hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future. Ethnotel

This is a very good choice to stay near the Kolkata airport. We reached one evening, and caught the flight out of Kolkata next morning. It was a short stay, but overall we were very happy with their service, and also the food .

We stayed for five days in this beautiful property, which is conveniently located near the airport in Dec 2022. The property suits both for business and family stay purposes. Best part is the food, staff behaviour and seemless Wi-Fi connectivity. Must see is the magnificent chandelier that hangs all the way from the fifth floor to the ground. The hotel also has all amenities expected, including a bar, parking and concierge. Maybe something that might add to the positives if a personal safe/locker is made available in each room.

With prior booking thru Booking.com, we - a family of 5, checked in on 2nd Dec evening. As ID, passport of my grand daughter was given. She holds an American passport. The reception asked for her OCI card. If Identity is the issue, passport should suffice. They are not to work as immigration officers. When asked for what is the rule, we were rudely asked to contact booking.com as they were BUSY with other work. These people in the desk are totally unfit to serve in any hospitality service. Added to it, our second room was delivered to us more than an hour later, for doorlock problems. No checking of malfiunction all day long. Why? Incredible ETHNOTEL. Beware of it.

Dear Guest, Namaskar!!!!! At the outset I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of our entire team for considering Ethnotel for your stay in Kolkata and giving us an opportunity of serving you. We appreciate you taking out your valuable time to share this feedback. We never compromise on the safety, security and privacy of the guests and this is why authentic ID proof is mandatory for each and every guest. It is very sad to know that you were completely uncooperative with our staff at that time despite having all your IDs. In a special case we have offered you free cancellation of your booking but you have not agreed. You have not complained of any other problems during your stay. Regarding the door lock issues I hope you were unable to operate the electronic keys and later my IT person came and personally attended to you. "Ethnotel" is committed to best hospitality services in the city and we will continue to do so. We look forward to your next visit and the joy of serving you. It would be great to see you return soon and have many more memorable experiences with us at the Ethnotel, Kolkata! Best Regards, Koushik Banerjee Rooms Division Manager

Now a days whenever I have visited Kolkata , Ethnotel is my one stop solution. Nice hotel with airport transportation facilities. Bengali local dishes are delicious. Smooth check in and nice house keeping. I must said that it's best option near Kolkata airport.

Stayed 5 nights in October due to official visit. Stay was perfect. During my visit they have tried everything to make my stay comfortable. They are very strict about the hotel policy but anyway that is manageable. I had ordered some special dish during my stay in breakfast and they have arranged it.
