Hotel Royal Palace - Cooch Behar

We struggled to identify a place to stay in Cooch Behar but after much consideration (and a checking visit by a local friend) we decided on the Royal Palace asthe best options in town. It was disappointing. We were two couples and stayed nights...in Deluxe Doubles at the front of the building we asked for quieter locations but were told all other rooms were taken. The good news was that reception was efficient and helpful. The rooms are quite spacious and the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower. The bad news was that neither the room nor bathroom were clean when we arrived and although an attempt was made to redo them it wasn't much of an improvement (using dirty rag and dirty water, no cleaning products) and we were informed the hotel wasn't used to western visitors'. So we gave up and went and bought cleaning materials and did it ourselves, giving the bathroom, light switches, chairs, floor and all the surfaces a thorough clean. However, the team did quickly respond and replaced the grey and marked bed-linen. The road is very noisy so sleep was disturbed. One night there was an event running at the hotel itself with load music until nearly The lift has an annoying and constant close the door' message that runs all night long if someone leaves the door part open. We never found out what the rooms at the back of the hotel are like but if you need peace and quiet, request rear rooms or stay somewhere else. We ate breakfast and a couple of dinners at the hotel. Service was occasionally a bit slow but the staff were helpful and keen to help, though table cloths were rarely replaced with clean ones. Dinner dishes were all good and can be recommended for freshness and portion size. Continental breakfast was poor offering carton fruit juice and toast only. So on balance my review is two stars for the hotel and four stars for the restaurant.

Hotel services were truly good. Staffs behaviour were polite. Got clean rooms, toilets and fresh sheets. The outside view is also enjoyable. Close to the main town.

Hotel is located near Rajbari and sagardighi also in Coochbehar. It was fabulous stay. We are enjoyed the hotel. Room service was great. Foods are fantastic really just mouth watering. Room and both room both are specious and clean. Stuff are very nice and well...behaved.

I have visited and have taken Lunch in this Resturant with high Officials. Not at all up to the mark. Food is not up to mark as per price. I did not like much. Only ambiance is OK type.

Quite good food and moctails.The ambiance at that time too was quite nice.Just opposite to the cooch behar palace.
