Bari Kothi Heritage Hotel

The best thing about bari kothi was not the property itself rather the kind hearted and caring staffs running the property. We are truly overwhelmed by their behaviour, beleive me they will try their best to make you feel comfortable. Coming about the property,it is not just beautiful but breathtakingly beautiful to say the least. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest,wish we could have stayed a bit longer.

The Kothi by the Ganges is what you can say about the grand building . It took us about five and a half hours by car from Kolkata . We were warmly greeted in reaching the property . Then we were shown our room . We had a heritage suite on the first floor .It had an attached bathroom .We stayed here for a night . The lunch was served in the darbar hall .It was a pretty impressive hall inspired by Rajasthani and European architecture.The spread was vegetarian Sheherwali cuisine but extremely well made .We were explained the cooking techniques and the way that this particular cuisine had evolved . In the evening we were take for Tea on the Ganges and absolutely delightful experience. I would recommend this to everyone. It felt heavenly to be on a slow boat ride on the river at sunset . We were served tea , fruits and snacks on the way . Next was the evening performance of baul/ folk songs by local artists . This was truly a highlight of the evening . It felt really in rural Bengal . The best part was yet to come , tour of the property . This is when we realised how grand the place was , the effort that the owners had taken to restore it and how important it is to preserve our heritage and history .The courtyards and rooms were so beautifully done and each one stood out as an unique entity. Dinner was as grand as lunch . We liked the idea of having lunch and dinner at different corners of the property.Next morning we had breakfast in a truly remarkable setting by the Ganges .It felt nice to watch the river flow by as we were served one course after another . We truly had a remarkable and relaxed stay at the heritage hotel . What stood out was the friendly and cordial staff and their hospitality. Mr Kishore , Ms Sandhya and the team at Bari Kothi do deserve a pat on the back for their wholehearted service and they really went extra way to make our stay comfortable and special . Even the gentleman ( he could not speak ) who guided us to the ferry ghat and saw that we promptly got the ferry to cross over to Jiaganj needs to be mentioned here . I would recommend this hotel to anybody planning a trip to Murshidabad for a grand stay .This really adds a special flavour to a historic trip to Murshidabad and makes you aware of the history of this area .

Overall Fantastic experience! Kudos to the entire team. I want to mention two names Chaitali & Chandan ! Both of you are hardworking, polite and at the same time very professional. This is rare. Food, Ambience everything was top notch ! Will visit again.
