Being a colonial building the rooms were large and reflective of the era with period furnishings. However, the building is in need of some renovation and looks a little shabby in places. The kitchen provides a good selection of delicious food but the menu would benefit from more snack options after a day of sight seeing.
Beautiful old hotel , it’s very worn in places so maybe not for everyone but personally I think it adds to the old world charm . Wonderful friendly staff . Bruce Springsteen and Patrick Swayzee have stayed here in the past !
Beautiful heritage hotel, well preserved, excellent and very helpful staff and you will get his for a very fair price. Strongly recommended for everyone not only looking for modern facitlities, but is able to cherish well preserved history.
The Elgin hotel is a beautiful old lady that needs a little bit of an up left but to compensate for that the quality of the food and the service and the interaction with the staff is five stars plus, I would definitely recommend anyone that’s looking for a wonderful place to stay to stay there we will gladly stay there again. Should the opportunity arise.
If you’re looking for something old world and quirky stay at the Elgin. Fantastic location too. Walking distance to new market, park street, Eden gardens etc.

A charming place where you step back in time. Warm, hospitable staff.
The hotel's historic character is charming; the staff were helpful; and the breakfast buffet at the patio cafe was very good. Our room was a bit quirky: it opened directly onto the dining room, and there was no partition between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.

The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The dining room staff were excellent. Couldn't ask for better. Good value for money and agood location.
Iconic accommodation with history and style
All personal very nice and friendly
Just at New Market and 5 mins to Esplanade
Bed amazingly comfortable
Breakfast delicious
Excellent, good breakfast and the food menu was varied at a reasonable price.
Hotel was convenient for Eden Gardens cricket ground a good 20 min walk away but flat, despite England getting spanked there by 7 wickets it was great experience all the same 😉
The hotel has great history with lots of pictorial items on display, the guests list who have resided there is very interesting.
If and when I’m back in Kolkata I’ll definitely stay here again.
Great friendly and helpful staff too which is always good ☺️
It was full of old world charm, lots of history, fine dining and great service. I appreciated the good attitude and understanding of the staff. Just a great place to share with a whole host of others over the years.
