Hotel Sonar Bangla Tarapith, Tarapith

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The new blocks with modern interiors were neat and clean, but my allotted room was too small, stuffy, damp, and very dirty. The service was cooperative and helpful, although some details were lacking. The location, while a bit far from the temple, offered nice features such as a nearby airport and various recreational areas. The dining experience was lacking variety and should be improved. The facilities were average, with room for enhancement.

The premium room located next to the pool rooms are spacious and good, although they were labeled as deluxe rooms. The rooms are average, with a balcony that is not properly cleaned and maintained. Service is fine and well-coordinated, but the bathroom cleanliness could be improved. The hotel offers a list of amenities with minimal details provided on a soft board at the lobby, which could be more informative. The location is conducive for offering puja, being within walking distance from the temple, but there were some challenges with rodents that were promptly addressed by the staff. Dining was subpar with room charges being high for the quality offered, especially regarding the alu parathas. The hotel should consider offering complimentary dining options. Facilities are not extensively commented on, but there seem to be opportunities for improvement.

The hotel offers nice, airy rooms with individual porches facing the pool, although there was a smelly issue. The washrooms were clean but could use improvement. The service was responsive and well-mannered, taking immediate action when needed. The location is walking distance from the temple, but there were some issues with rats in the room. The dining experience fell short with room charges being high. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
