The Anchorage Bar - Floatel - Bar in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

One of a kind place to unwind with great food, nice ambience, polite service, and unique location on a refurbished barge moored on the Ganges, minutes away from the central business district. The outdoor seating area is awesome, with cool river breeze and a breathtaking view of the river for company. Quality of food is top notch, serving one of the best mezze platter in the city. However, cocktail presentations, though creative, somehow miss the mark of leaving a lingering aftertaste and yearning for one serving more. And yah, the place has one of the cleanest and best maintained washrooms, an oft ignored but a very important consideration for a place worth a repeat visit. Kudos.

The Anchorage Bar at Floatel is an absolute gem! The restaurant's scenic location on the water creates a unique and relaxing atmosphere. The delightful menu boasts a wide array of scrumptious dishes that cater to every palate. The attentive staff and prompt service add to the overall experience. Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or catching up with friends, The Anchorage Bar guarantees a memorable and enjoyable dining experience. Don't miss the chance to savor their delectable offerings while basking in the stunning waterfront views. Highly recommended!

The floating hotel. One needs to cross a railway line to enter the lobby and then go to the ship which is permanently anchored and has the rooms. Since space is at premium the room size is very small but is generally comfortable. You can see Hooghly touching your rooms and we had a view of both the Howrah Bridge and the Vidyasagar bridge from our window. The steamers keep passing by on their ride and you suddenly realize strangers peeping into your room through the window - it is that close. They had an amazing collection of tea Darjeeling supplied from Dolly Tea and I had to ask for refills of tea sachets.

Well spent time ambiance was good ,service they provide also nice but the food is not worth compare to price...and food selection option also not much...drinks selection comparatively better..If you want to spent good time and okay to bear money then go else for food go for some good quality restrurant.

Ac not working, very tough to manage during hot and humid climate. Even cold drinking water is not served unless and until requested. The food is manageable. The price is too too high as compared to the service or taste is concerned. Personally one can try once for the view

Good ambience with a view of the river and Howrah bridge and the illuminated city. Food is expensive.

When searching a suitable place to arrange a family get together and banquet on 27th November 2021, to celebrate my son's marriage, Polo Floatel fascinated me most by its convenient location and unique identity of being a hotel on a barge, floating on the Kolkata's ancient lifeline, Ganga. My guests were just a select hundred in number and so, from among five options Polo Floatel offered me, I hired their "Compass hall & deck", about 2500 sq ft combination of half AC hall and half open deck which matched my requirement best. The occasion created a lasting impression among my guests. The ambience of the place was unparallel. Sales Executive Miss. Sayanti Das coordinated the whole program, starting from the introductory talks at the front desk a month ahead, through finalizing the menu by conferencing with Cheff Mr. Sujan, upto personally supervising the event till 10 pm on the date of the occasion, by teaming up with Mr. Sabbir, the highly efficient in-charge of the venue. No word of praise can match their service. Ours was a traditional Bengali family event and the full course dinner, comprising 23 items from welcome drink to desserts, charmingly harmonized with the taste of my guests. Qudos to Cheff Mr. Sujan.
