Park Prime Kolkata
The hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk or quick transit away from most of Kolkata’s top attractions. From check-in to checkout, the service throughout was excellent—clean rooms, attentive staff, and fantastic dining experiences whether it was breakfast in the morning or dinner in the evening. The team goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Special mention to Kanhatya, who looked after my room—he was incredibly helpful, friendly, and genuinely made me feel at home. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered. This place offers outstanding value and comfort. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Kolkata.
Polo Floatel Kolkata
I was completely surprised to discover this floating hotel—such a unique and beautiful concept! The location is super convenient, and the overall vibe is absolutely stunning. Every staff member I interacted with was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel so personal and warm. If you're into Instagram-worthy moments, this place is pure magic—every corner is photogenic. The breakfast was an absolute highlight: flavorful curries, fresh naan, zapati, and a wide array of sweet treats that made mornings unforgettable. Even though it's a floating property, the rooms are cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. My only minor note is that toilet paper and tissues weren’t available anywhere—even inside the rooms—which might be more of a local norm rather than a hotel oversight. But honestly, that didn’t take away from my amazing experience. I absolutely loved this hotel and would 100% recommend it to friends and family. A true gem in Kolkata!
Pan Asia Continental
I've been a repeat guest at this property for the past five years, and I continue to be impressed with my stays at Pan Asia Continental. The hotel is perfectly located on a main road, making it incredibly convenient for both business and leisure travelers. The atmosphere is welcoming, and every staff member I’ve interacted with has been exceptionally courteous—especially the front desk team, Ms. Rudrrani and Ms. Philomina, who consistently go above and beyond. The rooms are beautifully decorated and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and stylish retreat. My only small suggestion would be to install a handheld showerhead in the bathroom for added convenience during bathing. Despite that minor detail, the overall experience remains outstanding. With its prime location, excellent service, and consistent quality, this hotel continues to be my top choice in Kolkata.
Hotel Executive Tower
Staying at Hotel Executive Tower in Kolkata was a truly pleasant experience. The room was incredibly comfortable, well-maintained, and spacious with a clean, modern design that made me feel right at home. What stood out most was the quick and attentive service—everything I needed was taken care of promptly, from check-in to daily requests. The location is excellent, just a short walk from major attractions and transit hubs, making it easy to explore the city. With great value for money and a welcoming atmosphere, this hotel is perfect for both business travelers and tourists. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kolkata.
Hotel Steam
My stay at Hotel Steam was generally positive. The room size is decent and cleanliness is satisfactory. However, I noticed the housekeeping staff also handled food delivery, which raised some hygiene concerns for me personally. Room service took at least an hour to arrive—long wait, especially if you're hungry. Portion sizes are just right for one person, but if you're sensitive to spice, be sure to ask for it milder. That said, the hotel’s location is excellent—conveniently close to downtown with easy access to local transport. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the overall experience was good, and the value for money makes it worth considering.

Staying at Hotel Gallery 67 was an absolute delight from start to finish. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, making every meal a highlight. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat after a long day. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality from Subhasish and his team; their attention to detail and genuine kindness made us feel like family. Located just minutes from the airport and within easy reach of major attractions like Esplanade and Eco Park, the hotel offers unbeatable convenience for both business and leisure travelers. I had a fantastic time during my training session here, and honestly, it felt more like a relaxing getaway than a work trip. If you're looking for a stylish, welcoming place with excellent service and a great location, Gallery 67 is a must-visit. Don’t miss this gem!
The Stadel
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.

Special thanks to Panda, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout my visit. On the day of my departure, he personally prepared coffee and toast for me and even helped arrange my airport transfer—such thoughtful touches made a big difference. The level of care and warmth I received was genuinely memorable. This is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a welcoming experience with outstanding service. I’m already planning my return visit and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Kolkata.

It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable, convenient, and offers exceptional service for the price. I’d definitely stay here again if passing through Kolkata.
Hotel Ananya
My stay at Hotel Ananya in Kolkata was absolutely delightful. The hotel is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere from the moment I arrived. While the room is on the smaller side, it’s thoughtfully designed—perfect for a family of three with plenty of space to move around comfortably.
