City Central Hostel - Backpacker Hostel in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

overall good experience. I stayed in 10 beded room. Rooms were clean, washroom was clean, staff was good helpful, location was prime near sealdah station walkable distance from station, breakfast was provided. Room was air conditioned, common kitchen with utensils. what issue I faced was Fan was less. And bathroom was not having freshner(dont get me wrong, it was clean) Suggestion: would like to suggest, instead of having 3 big fans add small fans at each bed and small reading lights, that would make the place best, i found this where ever I stayed. And please add bathroom freshner, yes it was clean but sometimes smelly, just a room freshner would make it great I liked beign staying at hostel and meeting new people from different states, different countries. Good Experience

Great value for money ! Conveniently located within walking distance of the metro and bus stop. The staff was incredibly helpful. Highly recommended!. The property itself was impressively neat and well-maintained. The rooms, common areas, and facilities were all kept clean, creating a pleasant and hygienic environment for guests. It was evident that the management took pride in ensuring a high standard of clean

One of the best hostels I have ever experienced. The caretaker is really so God hearted. So there is a day on Tuesday, my checkout day... All of sudden my train booking got cancelled and I have not enough money to stay anywhere bcz my budget got over. So I asked the caretaker what to do. That man literally says you can stay here in the common area, you can sleep or sit on the sofa. Use the toilets, kitchen WiFi. "It's okay, sometimes that happens" Bro that man even keep our bag in his chamber for security, (we went to the Market on the same day) Room: 4.9/5 Cleanness: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Pros. Location great, elevator, lockers, good WiFi. Cons. Employees are all completely unmotivated, self-absorbed, uncommitted, but with an arrogant attitude. Never experienced staff like this before. Didn't speak a single word for 4 days. They don't care at all. Although the super friendly response letter to booking when registering, bed requests were not received until after long requests, even though beds were de facto free. Beds too short. Doublebunk beds wobble. Max. 1.80m, no bed lamps, but large fluorescent tubes on the walls. Breakfast tasteless toast, frozen jam, frozen butter, 1 mini banana. No variety. Many long-term guests, Observed several times within 4 days, bed sheets and pillowcases are not dipped after the change of guests, only pulled straight without wrinkles. Not for hygienically demanding travelers. When extending the stay, I had to pay an extra charge for a smaller dorm under the pretext that there were no free beds, even though there were 2 beds available in the original dorm on the corresponding night. If you like used sheets, 1 night is ok.

Clean rooms but a bit humid smelling. It would be great to have a place to dry your clothes. Bathrooms were also very clean and well maintained.

The double stack beds and air conditioning are in clean rooms. We are given a pantry area where we may prepare our own breakfast using appliances like an induction cooktop, a bread toaster, a kettle, and foodstuffs including bread, butter, jam, and tea bags. Bathrooms are tidy and heated.

I had a wonderful experience at this hostel. Every staff member I encountered, from the valet to the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! Thank you..Will recommend to my colleagues.

The stay at City Central hostel was like a dream come true, prime location, simple breakfast, the staff so very friendly , everything very clean, and comfortable, I felt right right at home. Safe for females.
