Reviews and Ratings
I chose this guest house in Kolkata based on its good reputation and was pleased with my experience. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. While the rooms were basic and lacked some amenities, the price was very reasonable. On the downside, the lack of a proper closet or fridge in the room might not suit longer stays, and the service could be a bit hit or miss.
While the Sunflower Guest House has a prime central location and reasonably priced rooms, my experience was marred by some issues. The management's demeanor was notably off-putting, making it hard to feel welcome. Additionally, be cautious when booking a deluxe room, as they may try to place you in lesser accommodations unless you insist otherwise.
This guesthouse is a charming spot tucked away behind Park Street, making it easy to explore the nearby attractions. The room I stayed in was clean and cozy, which I appreciated. The only hiccup was the Wi-Fi policy – it gets switched off at 10 PM, which was a bit odd to deal with. Overall, it's a great value considering the location and the unique vibe.
I had a unique experience staying at Sunflower Guest House, which has a charming, nostalgic vibe thanks to its old building and interesting lift. The location is quite convenient with great access to various shops and nightlife, but the rooms could use some improvement in cleanliness and comfort. Although the staff was not particularly warm, the overall experience was decent for the price.
I had a frustrating experience at this hotel, as the location is one of its few redeeming qualities, but the staff's attitude and room quality left much to be desired. The rooms were cramped and not particularly clean, and I felt neglected by the service. While it’s convenient for exploring local attractions, the overall experience was disappointing, especially given the price I paid.
