The food was incredible. The kitchenette provided helped make food efficiently otherwise. The common area with a view of the city from the 14th floor was beautiful. It was relaxing to read there. The rooms were well air-conditioned. The washrooms were equipped and maintained well. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodated all my requests. The location on Park Street is central to Kolkata. It was easy to travel to all major spots, while key locations like the Indian Museum were walkable. I'm a frequent solo-traveler and this is easily one of the best spots I've stayed in.

The perfect solo travel base First time at Social Safari and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my trip. The dorms were clean, the vibe was super welcoming, and I met fellow travellers within the first few hours. Already feels like a home I’ll come back to.

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!

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!
