Calcutta Bungalow — Hotel in Kolkata

This pandemic has given us enough reasons to not to travel, so we friends decided for a staycation. But we didn’t want a modern hotel, so we zeroed upon Calcutta Bungalow. The booking process was smooth, so was the check-in process. It was a staycation to remember for all the right reasons, except one. We loved the structure, the fact that all facilities are provided without demolishing the old skeleton. The vintage is maintained so aesthetically. The decor is a 100 upon a scale of 100. We were 3 people and the extra bed was taken care of equally like the main bed. The rooms were clean. The service top notch by all the employees. I have to mention Wasim, who took take care of everything so diligently and with a smile. Polite, professional, I wish him a good future. The food was nostalgic, loved the taste, a special thanks to the chef. Everything was taken care of and a decision worth it.

The only misfit in the place is the lady in the reception, Anjum. I am not judging her but she is not welcoming, her personality doesn’t suit the place, you get cold vibes. We encountered an experience with her, where we were taking photos and she said that only mobile camera is allowed and not DSLR and if we do, the charges are 15k. We tried explaining her that it was our personal vacation and we weren’t there for professional work, I myself am a photographer so I know the rules or atleast I play by the rules. She said but that’s the rule. I tried to argue with her because it’s nowhere mentioned on the website. She informed that it isn’t on the website but on Facebook. But hello, why isn’t such an important information on the well updated website? Then I asked her to contact the owner, she said he is busy, so I called up his no, Keya received the call. I explained her the issue and she confirmed that we could use our DSLR cameras. If you are a tourist, I do not know where in the world you are charged almost same as professional shoots for personal photographs. And where are tourists prohibited from taking photographs apart from few monuments? To remind you, DSLRs come a long way, they are here before mobile phones. And if you have some constraints, please have it mentioned on your website and argue with some logic. This was completely illogical and unwanted. If I forget this, everything else was perfect. I hope other travelers don’t have to face any such...
