The Elgin Fairlawn, Kolkata
My five-night stay at The Elgin Fairlawn in March was truly memorable. The location couldn’t be better—perfectly situated in the heart of Kolkata, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The hotel itself is a gem with old-world charm, its slightly worn appearance adding character rather than detracting from it. It feels like stepping into a piece of Kolkata’s history, which makes it stand out from generic chain hotels. I felt completely at ease during my entire visit. Despite being in a bustling area, the hotel remains remarkably quiet and peaceful. Dining in the courtyard was one of the highlights—the food was delicious, and the ambiance made it feel like a special occasion. My only minor concern was cleanliness; while the overall housekeeping was adequate, I noticed some dust on the curtains in my room, likely due to Kolkata’s dry season and dusty conditions. Still, this didn’t take away from my overall satisfaction. I loved the personality of the place, the warmth of the staff, and the authentic vibe. If I ever return to Calcutta, there’s no doubt I’ll book here again.

It’s clear the team takes pride in delivering a comfortable, hassle-free experience. I’d definitely recommend this place and will be staying here again on my next trip to Kolkata.

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? Breakfast was delivered straight to our room each morning—plenty of variety, generous portions, and a nice mix of Indian and Western options. It felt like a personal touch that made the whole experience more enjoyable. For the location, service, and value, this hotel deserves every bit of its perfect score. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in Kolkata.
Hotel Crestwood
The staff at Hotel Crestwood truly went above and beyond—every interaction, from the front desk to the General Manager, was warm, professional, and attentive. Their dedication to detail made our stay feel personalized and exceptional. The complimentary breakfast was a highlight, offering a diverse range of fresh, delicious options that catered to all tastes—perfect for starting the day right. Plus, the hotel’s central location in Kolkata is a major plus, with easy access to business hubs, shopping areas, and popular attractions. Whether you're here for work or leisure, this place delivers comfort, convenience, and outstanding service. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
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.
