Bodhi Tree-- A Boutique Guest House in Kolkata

I came across this guest house on the net and was immediately floored. I was looking for some serviced apartments in Kolkata when I found this boutique guest house and serviced apartment. The place is so aesthetically done, it will immediately attract many guests with discerning taste. The price is also not that high compared to the tasteful decor, relaxing ambience and the central location.You can admire the art and artefacts, browse books under the trees in the garden, surf the net and relish home-cooked food at Bodhi Tree. And do check out the special offers for women mentioned below.
