YMCA, Calcutta - Bed & breakfast in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Excellent Stay in authentic heritage property.Good room service & Clean bathrooms. Prompt service. Nice stay. Property is close to most of the tourist attractions and market.and specially all the exhibition centers are with in 2 kms .

This is my second visit. YMCA is a very beautiful property however it could do a lot better in terms of maintenance. There's a lot of room for improvement.

The YMCA Seacom Inn is well located at 25 Chowrinhee Road ( or Jawaharlal Nehru Road, depending on whether you are over 30 or not) right near New market, a few steps away from the Oberoi Grand and the Jndian Museum. It is walking distance to the Esplanade and Park Street metro stations. The downside is that it gets very busy around Christmas, and it is literally impossible to walk on the pavements that are crowded with hawkers and millions of bargain hunters from the villages of Bengal. The hotel is old and retains a few vestiges of the Colonial charm. The rooms are large and roomy. The breakfast is substantial and can easily double as a brunch. The lunch and dinner menu is substantial, and 2 people can easily share one large thali, which is at just 200 rupees. There is potential to upgrade and clean the rooms and facilities. If you can ignore the jaded furnishings and carpets, and slep.on the rock hard beds, you could enjoy a very budget-friendly stay. The regulators for the fan and ac needed fixing, and I was told that you have just two choices, on or off. That reminded me of Henry Ford and his 'you can have any color of car as long as it's black quip. ' Henry Ford belonged a century ago, and it looks like the YMCA Seaxom Inn belongs there, too, unless they invest some serious money into making some much needed upgrades. It's a shame to see a heritage property with such amazing potential eke out a very mediocre existence.

YMCA hotel at Jawaharlal Nehru road Kolkata. Most important is location of it. As it's near to Park Street, Indian museum, Maidan, Victoria memorial, St. Cathedral Church, Ravindra sadan(various movie shows reviews and plays organised here.) Day before I reached one film festival got ended in which Mamta di, Shahrukh khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachhan and other renowned personalities shared same stage. Two metro stations connected to it Esplanade and par stree gate no. 1 towards Indian museum. Direct metro available for major places like..Kalighat temple, Dakshineswar temple. At the prices they are providing this is the best place, neat and clean, good staff, good food, security guard also there, table tennis and badminton court available but it's not a hotel property. Enough toiletries, clean towels, tv with cable connection, connecting intercom. Looks like a heritage building as built during British times. Couple friendly also just ID must. I stayed for 3 days during Christmas it was memorable moments to see such a huge crowd of people enjoying the festivities. During Christmas and New year all park Street area over bridges get's decorated with wonderful lights. As came out of hotel get surprised by daily market in which you can find everything clothes, food and other daily use things. Under Rs. 2000 best place to stay.

This hotel is as good as any heritage building with a wooden structure and wide passageways. The rooms are very spacious old-styled rooms with amazing natural ventilation. I love the structure very much which gave me vibes of the British era, the tariff of the room was 1500Rs which is very much affordable considering the prime location. The metro station is a very walkable distance from the property.

Prime Location Beside Indian Museum and SIMPARK Shopping Mall.Buses, Metro and Railway Stations like North Station (Sheldah), Howrah and South Station are easily Accessible. Opposite to Eden Gardens and near to PARK Metro. Worth Place - Esplanade. Hotel: Nastha ( ) is Worth. Service: Poor Reception: Friendly Rating: 3.5/5 Room Cost: 2000/- Bit Expensive.

The rooms are quite large. Rooms have a historical feel about them. The location is excellent. Toilet area is not clean. Geyser is available. Foods was too much oily for me.

Very poorly maintained. The rooms have very dim lights, the mug in our room was broken and slimy, they refused to change it. The fan made very loud mechanical noise. Very dirty corridors and common area. Workers in chaddi banyan walking everywhere. Very disappointed
