Had a fantastic experience at the restaurant with excellent service from Ranju Modal.

Our experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not suggest staying at this hotel. We had reserved Deluxe rooms for a group of 15, but soon after checking in, a large group of about 70–80 people arrived. They were loud, yelling, using offensive language, drinking, smoking, vaping, and throwing items around the premises, making the environment unpleasant and unsafe for families and other guests. Despite multiple complaints to management, no effective action was taken; their excuse was that the group was too large to control, which was unacceptable. Due to the intolerable conditions, we asked to cancel our stay and leave, but the hotel refused to refund us, forcing all 15 of us to find alternative accommodation at our own cost. This caused us significant financial loss because the hotel failed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere or handle the issue properly. Such poor customer service is unacceptable. If a hotel cannot guarantee a safe and comfortable stay for everyone, it should not accept bookings it cannot manage. Overall, a very frustrating and disappointing experience.

My recent stay at Sonar Bangla in Tarapith was a complete nightmare. The property had hosted large group bookings that completely ruined the atmosphere for all the other guests. People were openly drinking beer in common areas, blasting loud music, and even smoking beedis right in the lift lobby.Despite multiple complaints, the hotel management completely turned a blind eye. When we brought up these issues, their response was simply that they could not stop people from enjoying themselves. It is deeply frustrating to see a management team care so little about guests who are just looking for a peaceful and respectful environment, especially in a sacred pilgrimage site like Tarapith. One group's idea of enjoyment should never come at the expense of causing a nuisance to everyone else.This was a massive letdown by the hotel staff. If you value peace, basic discipline, and good hospitality, I strongly recommend staying somewhere else.

I reserved a double sharing room at Hotel Sonar Bangla, Tarapith through Booking.com, paying the full amount (Rs. 4800+ taxes per night) three weeks ahead. The photos on the site made it look decent, but the actual room was shockingly small — barely enough space to move, more like a cramped cabin than a hotel room. Despite this, I tried to make the best of it. Soon after settling in, the real problem started. The neighbors were throwing a loud liquor party with 6 to 10 people packed into a tiny room, shouting and yelling loudly. The corridor smelled strongly of alcohol. Although they were supposedly there for a spiritual event at Tara Mandir, their behavior was anything but respectful or calm. We reported this to reception, but the staff showed no concern and refused to act against the noisy guests. When we asked for a room change or an upgrade at a fair price due to the disturbance, they declined. With no help or solution from management, we left just 3 hours after checking in. Worse, the reception offered no refund, apology, discount, or any goodwill gesture — just cold and unprofessional treatment. This was a complete waste of money and time. The service is poor, management indifferent, and the hotel tolerates chaos. I will never return and strongly recommend avoiding Hotel Sonar Bangla, Tarapith. Seek better accommodations elsewhere.
