Detailed Reviews
I've checked in to Blue Chip on two occasions and I have no words to express how lovely it was. The rooms add beauty & nostalgia to my old memories of Kolkata. The staff leave you pampered. The food makes you feel so at home. The paintings and the interiors make you feel like you're re-living your childhood days with your Grandma. Last but not the least , the owner Mrs. Chatterjee was such a pleasant and warm person to interact with. I'd recommend Blue Chip guest house on any given day.

I was there for 21 days in October. It was an amazing experience. The room was extremely cozy and comfortable and the location is fantastic. The food (an eclectic mix of Bengali, North Indian and South Indian) was out of this world and much better than some of the best restaurants we visited in Kolkata. The homely touch from having tea on the patio with the extremely hospitable and caring staff is soemthing I will miss and cherish. I am looking forward to the next visit to Kolkata and Blue Chip will definitely be my home when I'm there.

I was there for 3 weeks in October and it was a home away from home. The rooms were spotless with good a/c. Good size with wifi and flat screen tv. The food was incredible. Better than most of the 5 start restaurants in Kolkata. The hotel staff were all extremely accomodating and looked to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This doesn't have the ammenities of a hotel but is definitely worth looking into if you want a peek into life in Kolkata, especially as a westerner. The guest house is centrally located with easy access to public transportation and some great markets (Gariahat)

I stayed at Blue Chip for about 20 days when I moved to Kolkata. It was a great experience, the staff is very helpful, efficient and friendly, the food is light and just the kind you want if you are staying for a longish stay. The laundry is returned cleaned and ironed the same day and there is wifi connectivity on both the floors. The location at Ballygunge Phari is very convenient, about 15 min by cab to park street.The property is slightly old but well maintained. Will definitely refer it to anyone coming to Kolkata.

We stayed at Blue chip guest house while attending a friends wedding in Kolkata as he stayed just down the road.Initially we found it to be expensive and old, but it was a perfect stay. The staff was very friendly and they cooked home food for young ones whatever we asked. You can reach anytime and they will open the door.
I would definitely recommend this place to friends if they want to stay in and around Ballyganj area.

Typical Bengali B&B, friendly and very accommodating welcome. A little worn and dated, but comfortable beds, shower and lovely food. breakfasts great, fruit, tea, toast or bengali traditional breakfast treats.
If travelling alone a very good place to stay as staff look after you very well, like being at home.

This is a haven of tranquility, in the busy crowded city of Kolkatta. The rooms are spacious and clean, the bathrooms too. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is perfect. We were a group, and every day we were asked what we would like to eat, and we got it without fail. Time was never an issue, and we all felt welcomed and happy. To have afternoon or evening tea on the terrace is is so peaceful and relaxing.
We definetely want to go back.

In true sense, Blue Chip is a home away from home. I have been at Blue Chip since 1998. It is amazing to experience flawless services with not an iota of deterioration any time. Credit goes to both Mrs Kuljit and Mr. Subroto Chatterjee for their personal attention to perfection be it cleanliness (sparkling white bedsheets & towels) of the premises, home made food ( I rate the best Bengali food), ever smiling & helpful staff. Reception desk is always helpful. I know quite q few guests who like to stay only in Blue Chip. It is an example of perfect hospitality. .
