Guest Reviews

• Sandip (7/5): Just okay - Pretty good location
• HIROKO (8/5): - オーナーがとても親切！ ゲストもみんなフレンドリー！ 建物はボロいけどそれなりに掃除してあって、ベッド周りは特に綺麗で、お湯はちゃんと出る、部屋の中はエアコンちゃんと効く。高層階なので景色も良い。(インドの宿のレベルからしたらこの値段でかなり良い方だと思う) 何より地下鉄のメイン路線の駅からすぐなのが本当に便利！レストランが並ぶ大通りからも近い。 あとチェックアウト後にシャワーを使わせてもらえた！ 丁度部屋を1人で使えたこともあり、一泊するには十分に快適だった。 14階で、ゆっくりなエレベーターが一つしかない？のでまぁまぁ待つ。

• Chao (8/5): -
• Bhavya (10/5): - Great location, decent crowd, comfortable stay
• paul (7/5): Good location, helpful staff but upgrade your cleaning standards. - The location was great. Property should focus on hygiene and cleanliness.
• Arpita (7/5): -
• Ravi (10/5): -
• Arif (10/5): -
• Bastien (8/5): - The owner is nice and helpful
• Matthew (7/5): Not bad but room for improvement. - Good location and view. Has a kitchen which is handy. Owner said I could extend my stay in the AC room. Then moved me to the non AC room in 39 degree heat. He was staying in the AC room himself 😂 Toilet leaking constantly so floor always wet.
• Achintya (9/5): - Amazing location! Very kind owner. Everything was great!
• Simren (1/5): -
• Surbhi Tushar (7/5): 4 bhk type home. 1 room only for gals . Cud be uncomfortable for some . Other’s rooms r mixed dorm . - Best location near my usa visa embassy office . Where i had an interview. 800 ₹ ish per day in prime location. Not bad Kitchen was very dirty Just used it to fill water.
• Alok (10/5): - Value for money
• Mario (7/5): - the location, the view from 14th stock... all in all fair for a dormitory too expansive...i missed the good feeling as well , at the end was a nice stay and I've slept well
• atanu pal (8/5): - Fantastic stay in the heart of Park Street! ​The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the Maidan metro station and iconic spots like Victoria Memorial. Being on the 14th floor, the hostel offers stunning city views that are hard to find elsewhere in Kolkata. The vibe is super chilled and welcoming, making it easy to meet other travelers in the shared lounge or on the balcony. ​The staff, especially Sourav and the manager, are incredibly helpful and professional. While the facilities are simple, the rooms are clean, and having access to a shared kitchen was a big plus for a quick tea. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, social, and central spot in the City of Joy, this is it!

• Prashant Narendrakumar (6/5): -
• Arif (8/5): -
• Ganguly (9/5): It was awesome - Rooms are good and bed is comfortable along with the location It could be bigger property
• Samrat (10/5): -
• himmat (7/5): -
• Mikko (9/5): - Tämä on kiva paikka, jossa tapasin nuoria intialaisia IT-ammattilaisia, juristin ja muita mukavia matkustavaisia eri osavaltioista. Yhden kanadalaisen myös, mutta en muita eurooppalaisia tällä kertaa. Mukava ilmapiiri ja menisin ehdottomasti uudelleen. Perus keittiöfasiliteetit, ilmastointi ja lämmin vesi löytyy myös. Kameravalvonta, sijainti talon ylimmässä kerroksessa ja 24/7 aulavahti takaavat turvallisuuden. Omistajan kannattaa hankkia pyykinpesukone ja lukoilla varustetut säilytyslokerot. Täällä kannattaa myös ottaa huomioon, että hiljaisuus alkaa vasta puolenyön aikoihin. Tosin siihen asti on mukavaa jutella muiden asukkaiden kanssa. Eli jos etsit rauhallista paikkaa mennä aikaisin nukkumaan en suosittele tätä.
• Sidhartha (9/5): -
• prathapan (8/5): - The location is very accessible with two metro stations nearby. Cleanliness is an issue. Basic cleanliness is there but this property needs a deep cleaning.
• Dhruv (9/5): Overall good experience, could be even better - The common area and balcony are wonderful, the manager is friendly, and the kitchen was great to make tea. The rooms have more beds than usual which gives it a cramped feeling.
• Bishal (10/5): Great place to stay with a friendly vibe. I would definitely recommend it to other travelers.” 😊 - good rooms friendly staff, and nice atmosphere. Nothing much, overall it was a good stay.
• Kunwar (10/5): - Host is super chill
• Hiiro (10/5): コルカタ市内の観光にぴったり - メトロのMaidan駅やパークストリートが徒歩圏内というロケーションを考えると、お得だと思います。Google MapにはBombay Backpackersという名前で登録されていて、旧式の変な音楽が流れてるエレベーターで14階まで行くとあります。設備は平均的なインドのドミトリーという感じです。他の宿泊者の方とお話するのが楽しかったです。フロントの人も困ってたら助けてくれます。
• Sherkhan (10/5): -
• George Chakma (1/5): -
• Shubham (10/5): Best hostel in kolkata - This is the best hostel in kolkata. Definitely stay here if you get a chance
• Prikshit (8/5): -
• Aswin (10/5): Most comfortable and affordable as well, highly recommended. - Our stay was very cozy and relaxed. Gourav was extremely helpful and allowed us to check in very early in the morning(4.30AM). I informed him about a minor plumbing issue, he arranged the repair within a couple of hours. Really appreciate his quick response and support. Stay was Much better than expected Highly recommended. NA

• Saksham (10/5): -
• Srivastava (6/5): -
• Akash (4/5): -
• Sahil (10/5): Perfect place to stay,Easy commutation,Heavy footfall and a lot of places to explore in the heart of the city at a walka - Ambience and vibe
• Sayanwita (1/5): Worst - Nothing i liked it this time I stayed in this hostel many more times back in past but this it was my worst experience. I am not going to ever stay there. Crowd was so so cheap. It was not at all safe as a woman to stay there. The manager said no bed was available in woman's room but reality was i saw men entering in woman's room and they were taking weed as well which used to strictly prohibited. I recommended this hostel to a lot of people in past but not any more i will. Such a cheap management.
• Tan (6/5): -
• SHIRSHA (9/5): Been consistent with their service for years. - It's been consistent. The staff there, Sanjida and Rahul make you feel welcome and are quite helpful.
• Siddhartha (10/5): Good - Good location..Decently priced
• Ankita (10/5): -
• Rajeswari (10/5): -
• shubham (5/5): Hostel stay - Location very near to park street 14th floor , awesome view from balcony Staff was polite and cooperating No ac in day time , AC is only allowed from 8 PM To 10 AM No ceiling fan in room It's difficult to accommodate 7 people in one dorm with No ceiling fan and ac in day time and also when all people are drying their washed clothes in closed dorm
• SIDDHARTH (7/5): -
• Ravi (10/5): I didn't know I needed this! Best place to stay in Kolkata! - The food was incredible. The kitchenette provided helped make food efficiently otherwise. The common area with a view of the city from the 14th floor was beautiful. It was relaxing to read there. The rooms were well air-conditioned. The washrooms were equipped and maintained well. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodated all my requests. The location on Park Street is central to Kolkata. It was easy to travel to all major spots, while key locations like the Indian Museum were walkable. I'm a frequent solo-traveler and this is easily one of the best spots I've stayed in.
• Kshitij (10/5): Budget stay, million-dollar view. Perfect for solo travellers. - This is what hostel dreams are made of—good vibes, great views.
• Vikramjit (10/5): Exceptional - Np breakfast
• Harsh (9/5): Superb - The property is located in a prime spot with easy access to nearby places. Being on the 14th floor gives it a nice open feel, and standing on the balcony was refreshing with great airflow — it truly added to the comfort of the stay. The bathroom was not up to the mark — it was dirty, and used consumables were left scattered around, which was quite unhygienic.
• Ahad (10/5): Great location and meeting place - I love this place. Very good location and safe. Toilet shower
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect. Staff (Sangita, Mukund and Rahul) were very cooperative. This is my first time staying alone in a backpackers, I felt very safe. While some individuals may experience minor inconvenience due to the lift wait times, it is not a significant concern. With a little patience, these short delays can be easily managed and need not cause any undue irritation.
• Komal (6/5): Location is great, stay was comfortable, could be better. - Location and safety Cramped rooms
• Kay (9/5): Superb -
• Alma (10/5): Exceptional - I checked many places before choosing this hostel, and I’m really glad I did. The location is excellent, and I felt safe in the surrounding area. The staff were friendly and helpful, they let me check in early and also store my bag after check-out. I stayed in the female dormitory and everything was clean and comfortable. A solid choice for anyone visiting Kolkata.
