₹10,000 LUXURY HOTEL in Kolkata, India 🇮🇳
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- I flew all the way from Kerala to Kolkata to conclude my India trip and end it with a bang by staying in a 5 star hotel.
I chose to stay at the Oberoi Grand hotel due to its prime location. As I was bedridden in Kerala for days with flu I had time to do a bit of research on Kolkata. I explored the city with Google Maps to find the general area that I'd want to stay and from there tried to decide which was the best hotel in that area.
Every time I say anything negative at all about a hotel in my videos I get a dozen comments saying "Why didn't you do research before you booked?" or "If you wanted luxury, you should have stayed in a 5 star hotel!!!!!"
Well, you bunch of self righteous nincompoops, you'll be glad to know that I checked on TripAdvisor and this 5-star hotel's rank based on traveler reviews is 6 out of 529 hotels, with a 5/5 average rating from 2,800 reviews.
Happy now? Well maybe you won't be because I still managed to have at least one thing to complain about. Nowhere is perfect. However I spent 3 nights in the hotel and overall had an excellent experience.
The bed was as comfortable as it could be and I enjoyed 3 nights of perfect sleep that were followed by delicious breakfast feasts. The buffet selection was a little bit on the small side relative to the size of the hotel but it really was a case of quality over quantity.
The hotel is a heritage property so there are some pros and cons that go with that. It's an obvious cliche but I have to say that "they don't make 'em like that anymore." If a hotel was built in 2020 it would be very different to one that was designed and built over 100 years ago. You have the chance to live inside a piece of history.
The downside to that is that they're not allowed to make any major changes to the building. Having a small en-suite bathroom may have been considered a luxury in the early 1900's but nowadays guests come to expect one of a decent size in a top hotel.
I paid ₹10,000 rupees per night (£104 GBP / $132 USD) for my room, which is actually pretty good value for staying in one of the best hotels in the center of a major city, with breakfast included.
There were balcony rooms available that look over the pool / courtyard area. It would have been nice to wake up to that view but they were around 15,000 per night, 50% more expensive. I couldn't justify paying 5,000 a night extra just for the luxury of a small balcony.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Oberoi. The 5/5 rating it has earned on the review sites is deserved. What I liked most was how good the staff were. Everyone from the receptionist, to the housekeeper, to the pool boy, to the waiters, to the chefs showed the highest level of hospitality even when they were under the stress of being extremely busy.
The hotel has a policy of not encouraging the handing of tips to individual members of staff. This is perfect as it takes away a lot of awkward situations. Sometimes when staying in a low or medium standard hotel you don't know if the staff member is going out of their way to help you because they're expecting a tip in return or they're just genuinely showing you good hospitality.
In this hotel their policy was, if you felt that you wanted to, you could put some money in an envelope and leave it in a box at reception to be shared by all the hotel's staff. I left 3,000 which is 10% of what I paid for the 3 nights. It seemed appropriate to me. Maybe some Americans are reading this and are fuming "Tips should be 25% minimum!!!!" and maybe some other nationalities are reading this thinking that I was generous.
The point is I didn't have to worry about what anyone though of the amount I tipped or the fact that I did or didn't tip at all. Nobody saw how much I put in the envelope and nobody saw me put the envelope in the box. I just did what I thought was appropriate and gave it no further thought, until right now when I'm writing about it. :)
I only made another 2 videos in Kolkata. I had planned to use the last day to film 3 separate vlog ideas but it rained hard from morning until evening so I had to write them off or at least postpone them until my next trip to Kolkata. I guess that will be sometime in 2021 at the very earliest.
On the plus side, I think the 2 videos that I did make were awesome so let's just pretend that I went for quality over quantity. ;)

It was a pleasure having you at our hotel sir. We definitely would love you to visit us again! Cheers.😁
Thanks my friend. It was an awesome place to stay in Kolkata. I enjoyed it very much!
Are u the one who recognize dale??
Its a wonderful hotel.. Had a privilege to work in this hotel 13 years back!
when was this?

Shoutout to the wonderful hotel receptionist for giving a tour! Love from U.S 🇺🇸
Never thought they have a dress code for a restaurant!!😅
The staff at Oberoi was exceptional.
I mean its oberoi afterall
Oberoi , taj and marriott are the best
This is the f... Grand Hotel its like Oberoi Bangalore - they happen to have a dress code yet the Polo Bar in Bangalore is the best there is. I like both of them but the restaurant at Oberoi Bangalore - Le Jardin is arguably the best Hotel restaurant in India.
I’d completely ignore that…I’d go and eat dressed however I like. The only time I got declined for my dress was in Dubai when I visited the hotel bar with shorts on and they wouldn’t let me in
You not heard of dress code's for dining? It is a common practice when staying visiting posh hotels.
Imagine an introvert with anxiety entered in this hotel.

Absolutely magical how while walking around the buffet he special orders an omelet with one hostess and when he sits down the host at his table already knows what he ordered, seconds later!! The restaurant is totally packed and the hosts aren't writing anything down, but they manage this with grace and smiles!
I just finished watching a video about two guys who went to the most luxurious hotel in the whole of a certain country, went to that hotel's restaurant, were the only guests there, were given a menu where most of the items listed weren't available and when they finally found something on the menu the hotel actually had, it took an hour and a half to arrive. The contrast blew me away 😳
And they paid 800$...🤣🤣
i know that video you watched 😂 i watched it too, a presidential suite room 😂😂😂
This happens even in small restaurants too. Basically they don't pre prepare a lot of things if there is nobody as most of it will go to waste. The things that would be available are the once they can prepare fresh.
The Oberoi Grand in Kolkata.. I simply love it. The hospitality they give you is flawless. I have stayed there twice. It's luxurious.

Then visit in the winter.
visit us in december/ january it will be like 10 degrees

The reception girl is very nice..so welcoming she is..proud of kolkata..the city of joy..
I live in Kolkata and have passed by the grand always wondering how it is on the inside! This video has definitely put it on my bucket list🤍
The buffet at some of the newer 5 star hotels in Kolkata are much better. Spectacular rooms in those places too. That's the sad thing about Kolkata, either it is spectacular or utter shite. So many buildings on the verge of crumbling. Luckily my old school St. James seems to have had a makeover.
So you gonna be staying at a hotel in your hometown, sounds funny.

In some hotels new mini bars have sensors on them, anything removed is charged automatically and can't be replaced. the arguement is that the hotel can't vouch for the products you replace, only the ones they source themselves.

Beautiful, helpful staff. I had a similar experience when I stayed at the JW Marriott , Taj, and a few other hotels in Mumbai. Everyone was wonderful. Very well-trained to provide exceptional service. They treat you like royalty, I've never experienced that level of service in any other country, including mine. Well, Dale says he's not going to eat much breakfast, then eats two idly, omelet, chicken stew, and waffle, along with a smoothie and tea :)

@@Dale_Philip Yep, the original historic Taj Hotel in Mumbai is pretty awesome, although the rooms are somewhat small. It's worth the price. Make sure you get a room with the spectacular sea view!
I echo ur point. The hospitality that one receives in India is amazing, esp of u r a guest in our country. I used to think that all hotels around the world offer similar service before the actual experience shattered it. The hotel staff in other countries is either bored or rude.

In India, particularly, the level of service is exceptional, and everyone genuinely wants you to like their country.

The service at this hotel is excellent, tbh. Wow.
waoo neandarthal is commneting
I have no idea of this place. But i dreamt this morning, that i was on a backpacking in a place called Bengal. The place was a mix of modern urban with a touch of classic/ancient buildings, yet sorrounded by rural area with some filled with trees(almost like a small town in the mountains). In my dream the rural parts were greatly flooded by brown water. At that time i woke up. The dream was so clear and feels so real.
Now, this video just illustrates exactly what i saw in my dreams 😲
Congratulations your dream came true😄
Deja vu
Past life regression lol
I like how you explore surrounding all alone. You are pretty smart👍.
Glad you pointed it out the minute she left the room Dale. That has to be the most pleasant check-in experience I've ever seen 👌
