Is This The BEST Hotel In Bharat, India? 🇮🇳

Kolkata, often referred to as the "City of Joy," is a vibrant and culturally rich metropolis in eastern India. This unique city has been one of the most incredible and vibrant cities I have visited this year.
The city has a fascinating blend of history and modernity. It was the capital of British India until 1911, and remnants of its colonial past are still visible in its architecture. The city's colonial history, vibrant colors, yellow taxis, chaotic bazaars, and hospitality of Kolkata people make it a city that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who visits.
Was it really "City of Joy"? Absolutely. My videos will show even better images than I can describe😍🇮🇳

Thank you Davud, You are doing a great service to both the Indian & the Arab culture. Honestly, there is a lot of misconception in India about arabs (created over the years mainly due to International media houses related to terrorism of which we have been a victim of). I appreciate you touring India and bridging this gap slowly but surely. It's high time for the EASTERN CIVILIZATIONS to retake their glorious pasts and lead the world in multiculturalism, Science & Philosophy like we used to a few hundred years ago. Cheers

[@jhilamchatterjee4589]

There is a need for management to review their standards here because having these amenities are of no use if your staff isn't proactive in welcoming guests. As seen in the video, none of the staff is proactively approaching the guest to address his concerns.In such an excellent hotel, I am surprised at how relaxed and laid back all the staff seemed to be; something you would not expect to find at such a place.

[@assaultk47]

Correct....Taj hotel employees are much more welcoming

[@nvke]

Meanwhile Taj hotel employees, they just make you sit in their lavish waiting lounge, ask you for your ids and voucher, and while you are sipping your delicious welcome drink, you handed over your keys with a dedicated person to guide you around to your room and amenities. Taj anytime

[@SardarAccent]

The job should have been done by your usher and reception officer, was instead done by the concierge staff; definitely a very talented guy who deserves a raise and commendations.

[@JayanRajan-pv3ke]

Hello Davud, hope you are enjoying your stay in Kolkata. But, as you said, the reception looked a bit cold. The stay is certainly luxurious.

[@jababasu5302]

The check in zone in general didn't live up to the hype. Not even a sit down check in, impersonal and freezing cold.

[@anupchakravorty7720]

The view from the window is for Salt Lake - New Town Area , a new urban development in modern Kolkata. Not a farming area. About three decades ago, this place used to be the salty marshland of the Sunderban basin inland extension, and thence the name "Salt Lake".

[@shivayanmukherjeevlogs1224]

Nopes, he is right to some extent. That's neither Newtown nor Salt lake area. It's just the other side of the bypass, mostly fisheries land and to some extent agricultural as well.
