A recomemded business guesthouse
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/8/09
The Best Inn was located behind Merlin Homeland Mall in the quiet part of the city yet it has a very central location and is close to Rabindra Sadan Metro Station. It was quiet easy to travel to places from this location. I got a good impression about the professionalism of this guesthouse even before I had checked in when I received a detailed location map from the Guesthouse a couple of days before I was scheduled for check-in. Upon reaching the guesthouse I found that the facility has tasteful interiors. The internet connection in the room was a wired Ethernet connection but worked reasonably well. The place certainly stands out as a business guesthouse and is definitely amongst one of the best places I have stayed at during my visits to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata. The breakfast is standard continental however they add a nice touch to the experience by serving it in the room. The gentleman at the front desk upon enquiring regarding restaurants in the city gave some useful tips on eating out joints in Kolkata. My room was cleaned everyday and had a nice smell of lavender. Taxi was easily available from the road near Homeland Mall. Overall I had a good experience and would definitely recommend this place to others.

This Guesthouse is in a League of its own.
Its about time Yahoo rectifies the name of this place in the records. The new name is The Best Inn as has already been pointed out by other travellers. It was an excellent experience at The Best Inn in the not so pleasant city of Kolkata in India. This boutique guesthouse has definitely carved out its own niche clientele since I didn’t find any other Guesthouse in Kolkata that comes close to this guesthouse in terms of (a) The Interiors - which have been done very tastefully keeping in mind the needs of the modern day traveler, (b)The Service - which I found to be very personalized, & (c) The Location - which without any doubt is one of the most centrally located in terms of its proximity to the happening areas in Kolkata (gardens, restaurants and even Mother Teresa’s house are all within a few minutes drive) and its connectivity with the underground Rabindra Sadan Metro Station.

The Best Guesthouse (Bed & Breakfast) in Kolkata, India.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/5/08
To avoid any confusion I would like to make it clear for everyone reading this review that THE WESTIN has been renamed THE BEST INN. I stayed at The Best Inn for a couple of weeks in April 2008. I was in Kolkata on a business assignment and I wanted to be put up at a clean & quiet Guesthouse having a well decorated ambience. A friend of mine working with a Corporate House in Kolkata recommended that I should take a look at The Best Inn Guesthouse since their company would frequently use this Boutique Guesthouse for their company's visiting employees & business guests. When I visited The Best Inn I was impressed by the very look of this facility because it is newly furnished, and the quality of the rooms and their interiors were much superior to the others available in Kolkata in this price category. I could avail the internet from my room and I was served my morning tea & breakfast in bed. I did not have to spend time doing my own laundry since the Guesthouse has a next day delivery system for guest laundry and all I had to do was hand over my clothes to the Guesthouse staff. The Staff was very helpful and I was given the right advise and the directions to some of the fine Cafes and Restaurants in the nearby areas. Taxis were always easily available and if one would want to travel by the underground metro then the nearest station is Rabindra Sadan which is a short walk from the Guesthouse. I am used to starting my day by exercising, though this guesthouse does not have a Gym, I was suggested that I could walk down to Victoria Memorial Gardens for a Morning Jog/Walk. Victoria Memorial is a beautiful monument built by the British, it is located in the center of a Garden that has a Jogging /Walking track all around it. Every morning there is several morning walkers of all ages at this Garden. On my way back from Victoria Gardens I stopped at a Cafe called "Sugar & Spice." This cafe has a nice confectionery if you would want to sample some cakes and breads. On one of the weekend I went to the nearby Forum Mall on Elgin Road and saw a movie at Inox Multiplex. While walking from the Guesthouse to Forum Mall on Elgin Road I came across Mélange (Cafe Pai) located at Homeland Mall and Aqua Java, a Cafe which is located on Elgin Road along the way to Forum Mall. Aqua Java had a nice Salad Bar. I would also recommend that you also try the "Shisha" at either Mélange or at Aqua Java. The "Shisha" is a traditional flavoured tobacco smoked from a pipe connected with a glass or earthen pot; I personally like the Strawberry flavored one. Just past Forum Mall if you continue to walk a little further, over to Sarat Bose Road and take a left onto Sarat Bose Road from Elgin Road you will come across one of the most happening nightclubs in Kolkata called Soho. This nightclub is open after 9 pm and is the right place to be on a Saturday evening. There is also a Mediterranean Restaurant at the entrance of Soho. I recommend you try the Salads and "Kebabs" at this Mediterranean Restaurant. Some other Malls I would recommend to travelers are "Metro Plaza Shopping Mall", "22 Camac Street" on Camac Street and "A.C. Market" on "Theater Road". I recommend that you avoid shopping at New Market unless you are really into serious cheap shopping while rubbing shoulders with the crowds. I definitely would recommend everyone to stay at THE BEST INN. It is definitely the right place for you if you wish to stay at a nice clean, quiet and comfortable Guesthouse that is close to most of the activities and shopping and dining facilities in Kolkata.

Very Nice Boutique Guesthouse in Kolkata
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/5/07
Very nice rooms with contemporary furnishing. Ideal location for people like me who want to hit the office in the morning, the restaurants in the evening and want to catch a movie at a multiplex late in the night. A very quiet and peaceful ambience. I recomend this place to everyone who wants to visit Kolkata and does not want to spend on a 5* hotel. This is the next best you can get in Kolkata to a 5* facility.

Ideal Guesthouse for Business Travellers
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/2/07
This place is ideal for corporate travellers like me since its very convineantly located. I loved the whole feel of this facility. The rooms, bathrooms, lobby & reception are all very well done up. The rooms have all the facilities that I needed as a business traveller such as - internet connectivity, a.c., TV, telephone, attached bathroom with hot & cold water, room service, laundry facility etc. I would recomend this place if you value ambience and have an eye for cleanliness & interiors. Cinema Halls, Restaurants, Nightclubs, Malls & most areas having coporate offices are all located within minutes.

A little known Jewel of Kolkata
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/14/07
The Westin is a very well designed boutique property having rooms that have a sense of freshness to it. I like the personalised attention i got from the staff. I was guided on which restaurants to go to and which malls to visit for my specific shopping needs. It was very convenient to commute from The Westin to most places i wanted to go since most restaurants, shopping malls, movie theaters and the metro rail is quite closeby. I was very impressed with the quality of the rooms since we don't find such rooms in this price range in Kolkata. This place is for people that don't mind paying a little extra for getting a beautiful ambience, well funished rooms, internet connectivity, quality service, and central location. I disliked the fact that its a boutique property because this property has a lot of potential in terms of location, decor, hospitality and srvice and if the owners decide to expand this property it would definately leave a bigger mark on the boutique guesthouse/hotel industry in the city of Kolkata

Beautiful, Quiet & Centrally Located Guesthouse
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/9/07
The location of this guest house is excellent as it is very central and it is very easy to find taxis, and other transport at all times. The Rabindra Sadan Metro railway station is also located closeby. I liked walking down every morning during my stay in Kolkata to the Victoria Memorial gardens for my morning walks and going to Forum Shopping Mall to watch a movie, do some fun shopping and dine at the Food Court at the Mall. The rooms are newly furnished with high quality wenge finsh modern furniture. I liked the feel of the lobby with its Italian Marble flooring, it gives this small guesthouse the feel of a five star facility. The bathrooms also have an Italian Marble counter with modern square sinks. I liked having the facility of an internet connection within my room since not many hotels in Kolkata offer this. The staff is very helpful and gave me good advise on the right restaurants, cinema halls and shopping malls to visit in Kolkata. Most nightclubs like Underground at HHI, Soho on Lansdowne Road, Fusion at Golden Park, Tantra at The Park, Sheesha at 22 Camac Street etc. are within 5 minutes if you take a Taxi which is freely available.
