Siamton Inn - An underrated gem

Located at the heart of the city of Kolkata, the hotel named Siamton Inn is a pleasant surprise to our expectations after our last disappointment in HHI.
Location: A mere 700m from park circus and about a km from the park street centre. Lots of popular restaurants are barely of 5 min distance.
Room: A well lit deluxe room with a view of the city. The room is clean and organised with amenities like kettle and tea/coffee kit, TV, AC, room service, 24/7 hot water in the bathroom, toiletries, complimentary bottled mineral water, mini fridge and a study desk. 

Food: We had complimentary lunch and breakfast in our package. The a la carte north Indian lunch was served at the hotel's own restaurant named Shiraz@56. There were different varieties of rice, bread, daal, chicken and fish and desserts to choose from. 
The buffet breakfast had Indian,  continental and south Indian spread and was available at the hotel's 24x7 coffee shop. They also serve eggs (your way), dosa from their live counter. Every food item was delicious. 
Services: The hotel staff was polite and gentle. The room service/housekeeping were quick .
Overall,  we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

BSNL gives better connectivity in the remotest areas. 2.       If you wish to consume alcohol, remember to carry it with you because there’s almost no alcohol available in Ladakh.

This happens in alternate days 4.       Do not rely on electricity to charge your devices as there are frequent outages. Carry a power bank 5.       Do try out the local restaurants, they’ll surprise you.

That ray of light

Image
It just takes a ray of light to illuminate the darkness.  We hiked through the pine forest up to the top to reach the “sacred pool of water”, that'swhere we got this shot. Although, the lake is not aesthetically pleasing as one might expect, the view of the canopy of the large tress covering the skies, only letting a few rays of sunshine pass through and the view of the city from up top is definitely worth the hike.
