Minto Park Boutique Homestay-Kolkata

Kolkata

Densely populated, Kolkata (Calcutta) is a fascinating metro city of India with some rare sense of beauty. It is regarded as India’s intellectual, artistic and cultural capital. People are certainly a friendly bunch and Bengali humour is renowned throughout the country. Kolkata is not as ancient as Delhi and is largely a British creation when in 1686 they abandoned Hooghly as their trade post and moved downriver to Sutanati, Govindpur and Kalikata. Kolkata takes its name from the last one.

The Homestay

The legendary actor Uttam Kumar lived here since about 1963 until his death in 1980. Rajesh Khanna was a huge fan of him and always met him here whenever he visited Kolkata.

Located in the posh area of Kolkata, the homestay is reminiscent of old aristocratic sensibilities. It has two guest rooms on the second floor, rest of place is occupied by the host family. Every room is immaculately clean and has a King Size Bed, an Attached Bathroom (with toiletries), Lockable Cupboards, AC and Television with Amazon Firestick, Tea/Coffee Maker and a Private Balcony. The place is good for couples, business travelers and family with kids.
