I liked the place from the moment I entered it. It is pleasantly clean and beautiful. Really clean! I felt at home right away and was welcomed by a nice guy called Pradipta. He was super helpful with answering all my questions, showed me around, gave me a warmer blanket and made lots of cups of coffee and tea for me with a friendly smile. I couldn't not be happier after a long journey on a rainy day. They also gave a free quiet room to teach my online lesson and that was incredibly nice of them. This morning they also helped me to cancel one reservation on booking.com by using their phones what took some time to do. Wow! What great help! Will definitely come back.

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.

Very nice hostel, would highly recommend. The owner is a superb host, he treats you like a friend and is open to having great conversations. He speaks perfect English. If you stay here, you feel the local experience, not a commercial experience that tries to treat you like royalty.

All hostels in Kolkata

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.

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!
