Remember that if you book from its own website, you can get extra discount. I like the fact that the staff cleans the room everyday. Interestingly, the room with 10 beds and 6 beds are even more spacious than the 4-bed room. For this affordable price, it was a pleasant surprise to have enough personal space. There's also a rooftop with nice view and a good common area. The location is really good and I love strolling around the streets and allies nearby. Having the kitchen is also good.

One of the Best Stays Ever! I stayed at Hotel Suitcase for 2 days and had an amazing experience. The service was top-notch, and the staff were polite and always ready to help. What truly stood out was the attached kitchen—fully equipped, so I could cook whatever I liked, which gave a homely feel. The location is also a big plus—just walking distance from Kalighat Mandir and very close to the jatin metro station. The dormitory infrastructure is clean, modern, and comfortable. Very affordable, Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kolkata!

The owner is very friendly and helpful, worried about your comfort and also giving you some nice tips about where to eat good food at good price. Beds have a plug next to it, and the room is provided by two powerful fans. The guesthouse is located at a walking distance from the park and many highlights of the city. My flight was at night, and the owner let me leave my luggage during the day and also take some rest in the evening before departure. I will stay again every time I’ll visit Calcuta.

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!
