Very Good location, budget hotel. Shohag Bus to Dhaka is just opposite side of the hotel and green line bus to Dhaka is 3 min walk. New market is 5 min walk. But you can't expect much from it. AC rooms are clean but others are not so.

We have failed to locate any guest from Pune by name 'Sanjiv' in our current records . His allegation that hotel has rats & cockroaches & rooms are dirty is quite baffling to us . We would be happy if guest can provide details of his alleged stay so that we can investigate . We guarantee him full refund if... More

We booked the oriental hotel for three nights. After a long days travel we arrived later in the evening to find the hotel closed! After knocking on all the doors, the two of us (2, 22 year old girls), had to walk around the streets of Kolkata alone at 1 am looking for a hotel that could have us for... More

Guest' s Terrifying experience has been OUTSIDE the premises of the hotel . For safety & security of guests , the main gate of the building is closed after 12.30 am . This is normal practice of most small budget hotels . Guests checking in late inform beforehand & also ought to carry reception phone number available on booking site... More

I always prefer this hotel in Kolkata because it's central location and near to new market area with good hospitality and cleanliness of the room and price factor. A++++ Hotel in every aspect. Keep it up.

I was here for three separate stays in January 2013. My reaction to this hotel: On my first visit I was rather shocked, the second time less so, and by the third time was pretty used to it. I gave it an 'average' rating given the low price, but if price were not a consideration, I would give it a... More

We chose this hotel still after reading all the reviews just purely because of price & location. For some reason budget Hotel prices in Kolkata appear to be double of most in other parts of India, therefore the fact that you pay more for a hotel under parr is quite annoying. As many have mentioned some of the reception staff... More

You get what you pay for, the staff is helpful and friendly. It was a little difficult to find because the main entrance is on a first floor on the side of the building (wich looks terrible on the outside) but the location is great with awesome street food.

For the price I paid, I am not complaining, but one should be aware what he/she is signing up for when booking a stay at this hotel. It's definitely very well located in Kolkata, with lots of shops all around within walking distance. This hotel sees a large number by domestic and Bangladesh tourists. It's very dirty and run down... More
