Absolutely loved my stay here! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The dorms are clean, comfy, and thoughtfully set up, and the common spaces are perfect for both chilling and meeting fellow travelers. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, always ready with local tips or a smile, and the owner clearly puts heart into every detail. It’s more than just a hostel, it genuinely feels like a community. I left with new friends, great memories, and zero regrets.

These guys run an awesome hostel. I stayed in a nice air conditioned room, and made a few friends in the hostel. Raja gave me a towel, cold drinking water, and a coffee in the morning, and he helped me so much with my exit permit application – even after I’d left the city. So glad I stayed at this hostel. It’s bohemian for real.

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.

  • Hotel Bengal -100m from Park Circus 7 Point

    Hostel in Kolkata
    Avg. price/night: US$18.33

    Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 262 reviews
    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!
