10/10 Excellent
"The hotel provided everything that we asked for - spacious room, clean bed, bedsheets and pillows. The service staff were polite and efficient. The surroundings were green and pleasing to the eye. As a suggestion for improvement, I felt a bit uncomfortable with all the namaste and the smiling as I am not used to such excess. Overall, thank you for the wonderful experience. As I noted earlier, everyone and everything provided made it possible."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kolkata

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Kolkata on a budget can be a rewarding experience, particularly during the months of June, August, and September when hotel prices may drop to lower prices. This period is considered affordable, making it a great value for money destination for travellers. To truly appreciate the city's rich historical and cultural fabric, including its prominent monuments, temples, university, museums, churches, cathedral, natural parks, and library, it is advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days. This duration provides ample time to explore these key landmarks and cultural attractions without feeling rushed.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: You may discover great hotel deals to Kolkata by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com. Should your travel plans be flexible, you could find last-minute offers by checking the Last-Minute Deals area, where opportunities for savings may arise close to your departure date. Additionally, you're more likely to spot value when using the Smart Shopping comparison tool available via the app, which aids in comparing hotel prices and amenities. Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed of flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you never miss a chance to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Kolkata hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels may offer a more personalised experience and sometimes even better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your selected dates is above or below the average. If it is on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates, which could help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Kolkata's superb public transport system, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
