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.

Great hostel with everything you need and more. The dorms are confortable and well maintained. Bathrooms are clean and there is hot water with good pressure. The owner and the staffs are super nice and helpful, always making sure that everything is fine. Breakfast is quite nice and they are very accomodating if you have some special demands. They also provide a towel, a reusable water bottle that you can use during your stay and have filtered water available at all time. It's a bit far from the center, but transportation are quite good, and it's very quiet.

The hostel is very nice,the owner is also a gentleman and there are 2 managers here,one is Subhajit and the other is Sandeep. There is no comparison between the two,Subhajit is very helpful as an owner but the second manager Sandeep is a thief.I am writing this review while staying in this hostel.The owner here is a helpful person in every situation,But the second manager Sandeep is always drunk at night and is drunk,he thinks himself to be the owner of this property and often misbehaves after drinking at night,I always ignored him because I do not have to stay here all the time.One day,this drunk guy said something he shouldn't have.This manager, Sandeep,is a thief himself,so the other guests would be better off staying away from him. 12th November at 12 o'clock at night Sandeep who is the manager was sitting with us, he went downstairs after him and on 14th November he had to go out for at least 2 days, some of my clothes were drying on the hanger,he looked up and down and quickly picked up my Reebok jacket and wore it without asking and took it with him.I did not expect this from this guy,the owner here is very polite and a very nice person but when he is not here he considers himself no less than the king of a kingdom.I hope that strict action is taken against him.People provide jobs to such people so that they can live a good life, but after some time these people do not even think about their dignity. Unfortunately i can't upload video in my review. Just be careful from Mr. Sandeepan.

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!

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!
