Rooms
Rooms come equipped with work desks and dressing areas, and usually your own private balcony
Reading | Work Space
The best part: we offer large, well-appointed spaces for you to work, read or simply sit and daydream. If you feel like stepping out of your room, you don't have to go to a cafe. You have your own space here
Kitchen
Make yourself a cup of tea, and some toast if you like. We have an equipped kitchen. And if you want something more, we'll get our staff to rustle up something
The Discreet Charm of a Family-Run Homestay
We are a Govt of West Bengal approved and family-run guesthouse. We offer you the opposite of budget hotels. Our rooms are large and full of natural light, there's enough space for you to do yoga or push-ups inside your room. If you are the sort who doesn't like to stay cooped up in a room, step out and use our sizeable living room space. These are well-appointed with several sets of tables and chairs, so you can have your own quiet corner. There is wifi, there are books you can borrow from our shelves, and there is book art.
The entire property is done up with prints of iconic Bengali book covers and book illustrations, offering a taste of the rich aesthetic and cultural tradition of Bengal. Bengal is about books, that's usually the first thing people say about Bengalis, that we're bookish. That is why we called our property, Boi-er Bari The House of Books, because this is our way of celebrating the Bengali culture of books and art.
Feludar Ghar
Classic double room, air-cooled, with a mirror, desk and chair, television, bedside table, and wardrobe
Named after Satyajit Ray's famous private-eye Pradosh C Mitter, better known to the world as Feluda. The room has all the space and comfort and things you need to get your Feluda juices going
Bormi Baksho
An air-cooled twin room with a television, wardrobe, writing desk, and bedside tables.
Named after the beloved Bengali children's book, Podi Pishir Bormi Baksho, this is a room full of little treasures of the sort you'd collect in an intricate wooden Burmese box
Bawt-tala (Banyan's Shade)
A single room fitted with wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables and shelves. Ensuite washroom. Air-cooled.
Bawt-tala means under the banyan tree. In Sukumar Ray's classic children's work, classes were convened under a banyan tree and much mayhem ensued. Our first floor is devoted to the Bengali's vocation--reading, writing and studying--so this room is about learning and all the mayhem it entails.
