The Anchorage Bar — Restaurant in Kolkata

A floating ship converted into a hotel. The property is a unique one in kolata. Though the ship is permanently anchored but still you can feel that you are on a ship. We visited the restaurant so we won't be able to tell about the rooms. The restaurant provides buffet lunch and dinner on weekends.

However, cocktail presentations, though creative, somehow miss the mark of leaving a lingering aftertaste and yearning for one serving more. And yah, the place has one of the cleanest and best maintained washrooms, an oft ignored but a very important consideration for a place worth a repeat...

The floating hotel. One needs to cross a railway line to enter the lobby and then go to the ship which is permanently anchored and has the rooms. Since space is at premium the room size is very small but is generally comfortable. You can see Hooghly touching your rooms and we had a view of both the Howrah Bridge and the Vidyasagar bridge from our window. The steamers keep passing by on their ride and you suddenly realize strangers peeping into your room through the window - it is that close. They had an amazing collection of tea Darjeeling supplied from Dolly Tea and I had to ask for refills of...
