Super clean place with AC! The dorms are comfortable and have power sockets and curtains. The showers are clean and hot, and they are even supplied with shampoo and soaps. This might be the best dorm I booked in India so far, and for excellent value. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

Best place if you are looking for a starting point from which to explore Kolkata. Even though its further away from the center, the great host makes up for it.

Offbeat is the place to be in Kolkata! During my trip to this vibrant city, I’ve had the opportunity to spend a few days here: attended a workshop, stayed in a private room with a great view and spent a good amount of time on the rooftop where I enjoyed great food in a great setting. But there’s lots more — cafe, gym, workspaces, restaurant… everything tastefully decorated, and of course lovely staff. Innovative concept I highly recommend and I’d definitely go back to!

The owner is a great guy. I needed a local contact to receive an sms from Vodafone so I could buy a local SIM card and he was happy to help and didn’t mind the hassle. I stayed here 5-6 years ago and had such good memories that on my return trip to Kolkata I didn’t even consider staying anywhere else. It’s not the Ritz but the staff and the owner are awesome, the location is great and I simply love the vibe. You may or may not but for me this place is one of my favorite budget spots in the whole world… highly recommended!

All hostels in Kolkata

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The hotel staff and management is very friendly, helpful and generous. They talk very politely with guests. The hotel bathrooms are clean with 24*7 hot water. The hotel rooms are clean and nice though it's a dormitory. The hotel is located in a busy area and you can get all types of transport nearby. Beds are bit hard but manageable. It's a safe place to stay. The hotel is equipped with fast wifi connection. The hotel is fine for solo and family travel as they have a private room with a private bathroom as well I think.

I had a fantastic experience at City Central Hostel! The dormitory-style setup was surprisingly comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore. Clean facilities, vibrant atmosphere, and budget-friendly – I'd definitely stay here again!
