Bed and Breakfast The Ivy House
4 Swinhoe Street, 700019 Kolkata, India – Great location - show map
-I'd say the staff really make this place. They're polite, understanding and helpful. -I reached really early after making a last minute booking, and I was surprised to find that my room was ready -The room was clean, smelled great and had everything I needed for my stay -They allowed me to keep my bags after checking out for a considerable amount of time -The breakfast was quite good
IndiaThe location is good (For Ballygunge and Gariahat) and even though the property is located on a busy street, it’s quiet and peaceful. Quite a few restaurants nearby and if you wish to dine in the property, you can do that at a reasonable price. You can also use the food delivery app, Swiggy to deliver food from restaurants in the area. The property has a cafe which looked quite popular among the locals. The staff were friendly and courteous. Raju (the chef) and Proshanto were really kind to us and management staff made our check-in and check-out process quick and hassle free. They also stored our luggage while we went out for lunch after check-out. Overall, I will recommend the property to fellow travelers for its location, cleanliness and friendly staff.

United KingdomFriendly staff, comfortable room with good facilities, excellent breakfast
United KingdomThe staff are really nice and extremely helpful despite the language barrier they always try to help, the bed is incredibly comfortable if you like a firm mattress, the rooms are very cozy and spacious
United KingdomIt was a peaceful oasis in the middle of bustling south Kolkata, hiden away from the busy lifestyle of the surrounding area. The family run property was very well looked after, with exotic flower beds/pots from the entrance alley to the reception. The staff were very well trained, professional, attentive and courtaeous all through the ranks. Did not hear a single dissent or rumble. The place was immaculately clean, beds and furniture comfortable and the quality and variety of food were excellent. The caretaker/manager Santosh and the chef Raju were exemplary.
