I’m admired by this amazing hostel stay , highly recommended .

I like the central location at park street. The staff is always reachable and supportive. There is enough place for your luggage and you can lock it. I enjoyed my stay.

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.

Location is quite convenient, walking distance from Kalighat metro station. Staffs are friendly. Complimentary breakfast was okay. I found this place very safe for solo female travellers. They have common kitchen, so if you want you can cook. Quite clean and toilets are hygienic which is always my top priority. You can ask the manager about places to explore. They are pretty helpful.

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!
