Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
1. Noise at midnight because some work happened in some room upstairs !! and I complained and it stopped after half an hour. But sleep has been disturbed.
2. Not accepted Credit Card saying machine not working. Also not accepting online payment to OYO. Forced to pay cash by taking out money from nearby ATM machine.
3. Wifi was there but found hard to connect and when connect speed was not satisfactory.
4. Food price was costly. Hence better buy from outside.
5. Breakfast was complimentary..pic is attached.
Overall, Not to book same hotel again as they force to pay in cash and not accepting Card saying machine is not working. Hope it happens with everyone.

Good location. The room was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed in the room. The shower though was the Indian type without an enclosure.A free rooftop breakfast was included. The staff were always there to provide service. The Aura was a safe place to stay.

Out for dinner and this hotel's nice roof top restaurant promised to be delightful, but it turned out to be a nightmare. The staff is totally unprofessional and service is too slow. In addition, the food was not good at all. Among our orders was also a Kashmiri Pulao but it was just plain rice with a few pieces of melon. No view of cashew nuts or other typical ingredients of Kashmiri Pulao. The dinner was verz disappointing and we would not recommend this place, unless they really improve the quality of the food and service.

CHEATER is the only suitable word for this hotel, please do not book this hotel, they will rip you off, rooms are very dirty, breakfast was stinky and was smelling like rotten food, fat old manager at the age of retiring is still working in that hotel and literally have got no respect for any guests and shouts at all the guests there. These people never except their fault and always have excuses they have travel desk for the guest, but it literally for the guest to rip them off, they have got good setting with the third party and always ask to pay more and more, please please do not book this hotel even for free.
THIS IS PLACE OF CHEATERS

The only plus point with the hotel is its location as its in a center of the city which is near by to the most popular street in Kolkata for shopping which is "Lindsay street". Other wise food quality is mediocre, Rooms are small.

Hello to all readers and to all staff @ Trip. Happy New Year wished to you all. I happened to stay at this hotel on 19 Nov. I was due to visit Belur Matt Shrine on the same day. I took my own taxi from airport and the ride was 90 mins. The traffic was ghastly. This hotel is situated at an intersection of 2 busy streets. Vehicles come at you from all directions. The roads are very dirty and the people constantly keep spitting.....Disgusting.......Absolutely mental and very noisy. So if you want a quiet stay and quiet sleep......this is NOT for you. I pre-booked this place on make my trip website and I also pre-paid....ie non-refundable. Check in OK. One of bell boys.....was talking too much in the lift and I motioned him to keep quiet. The room is small. The AC was from 1984. And the noise.....yes ......constantly. Urgghh....!!!! The bathroom was tiny, just enough space to turn around. The tap next to the commode was leaking all the time.....loud trickles. For the price I paid.......I felt disappointed . I had lunch at the restaurant on the terrace. I also had dinner there. The food was cooked well and exceptionally tasty. I will review the food in the next post, due to photo upload restrictions in terms of message size. To this hotel......I would return to eat......But to stay.......NOPE....!!!!
