Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—everything you need is within walking distance, from local eateries to metro access, making it super easy to explore Kolkata without relying on taxis. Just be mindful: the gate closes at 12 AM, so plan your return accordingly. Breakfast was a highlight—homemade and delicious, with a real home-cooked feel.

I was disappointed to learn that foreign guests aren't allowed to stay at this property. Fortunately, the platform I booked through assisted me with a full refund promptly. While the location and overall setting are decent, it's definitely a drawback for international travelers. It would be great if the hotel could reconsider its policy to welcome guests from all over the world—this would enhance accessibility and improve the experience for many visitors.

The guesthouse is conveniently located just a short walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Kolkata on foot. The restaurant was always bustling, so we ended up dining at the bar instead—and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, drinks, and service. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. We’d recommend booking in advance next time, as it’s clearly popular. The only minor downside was having to carry luggage up half a flight of stairs for the first-floor rooms, but it didn’t detract much from our stay. Overall, a great value option with a welcoming vibe and excellent local charm.
Staying at Hotel Pushpak International in Kolkata was a mixed experience. The room itself was quite old and lacked an elevator, which made carrying luggage up to the upper floors very inconvenient. The cleanliness was also disappointing—there were visible stains on the bed sheets and a faint musty smell in the bathroom, which took away from the overall comfort. While the location is fairly central and it's just a short metro ride into the city center, the lack of basic amenities and poor maintenance brings down the value for money. I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you're looking for a budget option with minimal expectations. It’s clear that improvements in hygiene, upkeep, and guest convenience are needed to raise the standard.
I was really impressed with my stay at The Stadel overall—everything exceeded my expectations. The only minor quirk was the pool schedule, which runs until 9:00 PM and then reopens at 6:00 PM, leaving a gap in between—slightly confusing but not a dealbreaker. Also, towels in the pool area are charged, which I found a bit surprising, though it’s a small thing. That said, these didn’t detract from the excellent experience at all. The staff truly made the difference—special thanks to the front desk team, especially Sony, the bar staff at the Egyptian Bar, the manager, and the restaurant waitstaff. Everyone was warm, professional, and attentive. The ambiance is elegant, the location is convenient, and the value for money is outstanding. I’ll definitely recommend this hotel to friends and colleagues—and I’m already planning to come back myself.
