ITC Sonar, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kolkata

Clean bright and big

Not all staffs were ready to greet proactively! Water with fish and marine plants section smell like swamps and producing mosquitoes. From the entrance to the room is quite a long walk, I don't think it even just for elderly or family with kids!

The cleanliness.

Not enough mugs for coffee

Excellent hospitality of all wing .

The shuttle driver was great.

The check in and check out process was not only very long, but both times, the person was confused about our reservations. The check out guy charged me twice for a room even though I kept telling him it was paid for. Now I am trying to retrieve that payment one month later. This is after I told him we needed to get to the airport for a flight. The rooms had a smell to them, like musty.

Front desk team as really nice. Specially Raj was very good. And breakfast was good.

Wonderful decor and landscapeWelcoming and professional staffsWell maintained and high quality facilities

Breakfast and lunch buffet at Eden Pavilion could become too crowded at peak hours.

This is a typical ITC hotel so very good. Great rooms, open spaces and all other amenities.

The check-in experience was extremely poor. It took nearly 25 minutes for the staff to complete the process, despite my being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold member with priority check-in.At the time of check-in, I requested an early check-out by one day, which was acknowledged and also confirmed in writing via email. However, at checkout, the staff had no record of this change and attempted to charge me for the additional night. Only because I had the email confirmation was the issue resolved. This was stressful and completely avoidable. I strongly recommend getting every change in writing.Room service was ordered a couple of times and was below average—not something I would recommend. Mushroom pizza was cold and 5 mushrooms on a cheese pizza - very poor. The breakfast buffet restaurant is extremely small, noisy, and chaotic, making it a stressful experience. On days 2 and 3, we opted for an alternate breakfast location provided by the hotel, which was significantly better.Overall, apart from the brand name, the service quality was disappointing and did not live up to the ITC reputation.

The courtesy of the staff, especially in the welcome hall, was excellent. The ambience was brilliant, and the breakfast was good.

Housekeeping definitely needs improvement, and some staff members do not take critical feedback in the right spirit. For example, during breakfast, masala chai was served without sugar and the staff refused to replace it. The table was also missing basic items such as forks, spoons, and glasses, which we had to repeatedly request and follow up on. However, it is important to note that Ms. Harshitha made a sincere effort to compensate for the experience by offering a beautifully crafted Kolkata delicacy, which was much appreciated. One key piece of feedback would be to focus on continuous training for customer-facing staff.

The hotel was beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptional!!!

The pool deck needs to be renovated .

Breakfast on the first day was good. On the second day, the overflow was in another restaurant. Here the service was not as good. Food was average on both days.Room was large and comfy. Hotel has a nice layout. Dinner at Peshawari was excellent.

The shower drain tended to block and overflow. A wedding on the second day resulted in all food outlets being reserved for private events. We had to go to the neighbouring Marriott hotel for a drink.

The property itself is beautiful, nice dining options and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The rooms are dated with furniture which shows many years of use, loose electric points etc.

We checked out of the property on August 12th, after clearing all dues. Yet the hold on my Credit Card, a very large amount, has still not been released. Its already been over 15 days and the hold has remained, causing severe issues for me as I travel and am unable to use my CC effectively. I have been in touch with Ms. Aditi from guest relations about this matter - who has been very courteous and prompt in responding however has done nothing to get the high amount on my credit card released. The issue is still not resolved by the hotel as I write this review end of August. This is unprecedented and has caused me big trouble.

The breakfast was very good. Very good restaurants for lunch and dinner. The natural environment in the hotel was a wonderful experience. Restaurant team made us feel very welcomed and gave excellent service specially Akthar & Ali. At the dinner Akthar advised us for a very delicious menu.

Nothing to complain.

Courteous and helpful staff, friendly and patient with kids. The water feature continues to have a calming effect and generated a lot of excitement for the kids.

A true luxury hotel, where the staff and management are highly focused on customer satisfaction. I love the pond and gardens which give a tranquil feel. High cleanliness standard

Difficult to find faults. I would like to see English Premier League soccer on the room TV.

Every night late night marriages loud and strange crowd

Location and no privacy

ITC SONAR has always been my favorite for 2 decades. They've always maintained their quality and service. Fantastic ambience, cordial staff and beautiful cuisines.

Breakfast was really good. The restaurant for breakfast is conveniently located at the lobby level. Rooms are well equipped and very comfortable. Location is great as it is close to the city business areas and the airport.

Service of Mr. A Dasgupta at the reception and Mr Akhtar in the restaurant Dumpukht

The cleanliness, the spacious rooms and the crazy attention to detail and hospitality the ITC Staff has to offer is unmatched. I will chose Sonar over any hotel in Kolkata any day. It is centrally located to pretty much every place. Not too far from the airport and the food and restaurants on the property are just fabulous. Great amenities, pool and a fitness centre as well, we took a lot of walks around the lily pools every morning here.

Cleanliness and staff behaviour Quality of food

F&B slow and run with staff not fully trained. Misses small details.Bar and restaurant has a dull vibe Bottom line lazy kitchen
