Lonely Planet "Probably offers the best value of all the ultrabudget dives. High-ceilinged rooms are as ragged as ever but there’s a somewhat atmospheric old 1st-floor sitting room and a peaceful roof terrace." Full review
Rough Guide "Cramped place, with a relaxing roof terrace; despite the surly – sometimes downright rude – service, it’s been popular with budget travellers since the 1960s... There are better rooms upstairs."

"The Taj Bengal with its sturdy exterior and leafy skin is for the world traveler a perfect post to return to and recharge." Full review
Rough Guide "Opulent showpiece hotel and still the prime address in the city, attempting to amalgamate Bengali features with the usual Taj grandeur."
Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand
"The Taj Bengal takes these ideas of culture, grandeur and retreat and runs with them, predictably accommodating an ongoing parade of heads of state, and packing itself with Bengali artworks.
