Hotel Afreen
Staying at Hotel Afreen in Kolkata was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of the city, it's incredibly convenient for visiting all major attractions—just a short walk or quick local transit ride away. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is top-notch; rooms are spotless, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms feel fresh and well-maintained. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful—they spoke clear English and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. They even asked if there was anything they could improve, which showed genuine care. One of the highlights?

Hotel Pushpak International
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.

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.

Treebo Royal Orbit, Metropoliton
The room was extremely small, even for a couple—there wasn’t enough space to walk around comfortably. The service was disappointing, slow, and lacked attention to detail. Noise throughout the night made it hard to sleep peacefully. While the bed was actually quite comfortable, the bathroom had a noticeable leak, which was frustrating. Water provided was only RO-filtered water in open, unsealed bottles—no mineral water or sealed options available, which made me hesitant to drink it. Overall, the experience didn’t meet expectations. Despite a decent bed, the cramped space, poor service, constant noise, and hygiene concerns make this a tough recommendation. Not worth staying unless you're on a very tight budget.
