I checked many places before choosing this hostel, and I’m really glad I did. The location is excellent, and I felt safe in the surrounding area. The staff were friendly and helpful, they let me check in early and also store my bag after check-out. I stayed in the female dormitory and everything was clean and comfortable. A solid choice for anyone visiting Kolkata.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at HOTEL BENGAL, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views and convenient access to local attractions. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with elegant decor and a welcoming ambience. The staff at HOTEL BENGAL are incredibly FRIENDLY attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need. The room was immaculate, spacious, and well-appointed with all the modern amenities one could wish for. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the linens were of the highest quality, ensuring a restful night's sleep. I came here for my USA Visa Interview on 23 July, and i got my visa . This place is lucky. I'm from Nepal.

All hostels in Kolkata

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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!
