The staff guy doesnt think of you as a guest but his auntys son who somehow bumped into his private space, and thats RIDICULOUS! This guy is from Patna (Bihar) and gets really personal over silly things. Asked me to wash my plate while the maid was already cleaning! Now if the maid is cleaning why should i even interfere with her job there? But this guy was hell-bent over making me do the job cause perhaps he didnt like me singing in the night to all the guests who had a great time because of me. This thankless dude, instead of being grateful to me, was taking personal revenge for not being able to sleep. The whole hotel used the plates for eating (some even used glasses for drinking) and few were smoking up too. But this guy pointed out only me and that too when the maid was already at work. This is crazy! If youre booking this place, youll have to be careful of these kinds of unprofessional behaviours of these morons. Overall had a good time but have to rate the property-poor because of this bitter encounter! Sometimes all you need to screw your trip is one stupid servant dictating you!
Had a good time here, affordable place for bagpacker around Park Street area...
Its a nice place for travelers looking for a different experience n wanna enjoy the luxury dining & night life of the city
Just checked out. The place is clean, compact and comfortable. The owner and everyone involved were very friendly, polite and fun. We had a great time in the common room chatting over beer with other visitors and the owner. Dont let the entrance fool you, kind of looks shady. Would recommend it. :)
Nice dormitory...cheep and best. employees are very nice..
This is really a decent place to stay. This place offers continental breakfast and even you can cook your food here, they keep everything besides youve to carry raw materials, a refrigerator having cold water , they also provide filter water, Wi-Fi, Magazines and newspapers, Televisión, they have a common terrace where you can socialize and have a good time with your company plus youll meet here many people across the world. Staffs are really cordial and cooperative, they have bed system with AC in every room ranging from Rs650- 1500. I had a good time here, meeting new people. Check-in timing is 14:00 - 14:30 and check-out timing is 11:00 - 11:30.
It has friendly vibe, chilled out stay and very convenient location.
Room is good & clean, but congested . Staffs are good & friendly. Washroom clean, but there is no separate washroom for male & Female guest .That is the main problem for female Travels. There is a nice balcony with a nice view. Nice location.
Best place if you are going for Visa Interview.
The vibe of this place (backpackers) is awesome. Must stay if you are visiting Kolkata. This is at famous park street near moulin rouge. The place was neat and clean. Maintaining all hygiene and staff behavior was amazing. They have kitchen also you can prepare food by your own. The bathrooms and beds are totally clean. And you can play, dance, read, eat & enjoy with your friends if you wanna spend weekend getaway near park street. Backpackers is must recomend place to stay. I am in love with the environment.
One of the nice place to stay and enjoy ur vacationsroom are clean staff is so good and always up to at your service i will definitly come back here
In this hotel you can come with single or friend but not suitable for couples and families. Awesome plece.Everything is fine.
Its one of the best place Ive been, very cheap and affordable place for travellers and others whos been on a business trips. I would highly recommend this place for any who wants a cosy stay in hostels. Very Neat and the staff is highly experienced and good.
Great place in the prime location. Pocket friendly...
I will alws prefer to be here whenever i will be in kolkata .awesome jst awesome.
One of the best hostel in Kolkata. Great location, facilities were excellent. I would recommend this place to all the people who are looking for a budget-friendly option near Park Street, Kolkata.Cleanliness - 5/5Friendly staff - 5/5location - 5/5budget-friendly - 5/5All tourist destinations are very close to Backpackers Park, Kolkata.
Awesome for backpackers at f middle of d city
Must Book for solo traveller who are looking to meet new people with different culture. Extremely happy with this stay... Everything under one roof.Great work and service by property staffs. Thumbs up to em..!! bunk beds, feasible locality near metro and popular places. in campus hospitality and place to chill out with fellow travellers.
Good place to stay. Very clean & comfortable. Safe for girls too.
The dorm rooms are very congested. I think 650 price is little overpriced. They dont support even for an extra additional hour. The entrance to this dorm at G floor will be horrible. Lift will take 2 mins to take u to the 2nd floor. Needs some more improvement. Can add some games for leisure activities. Can be little more supportive.
Decent stay for the price range
The only hostel in the Park Street Locality and probably he only one in Kolkata - this hostel is extremely pocket-friendly compared to the other hotels nearby - so if youre a student or backpacker - GO FOR IT!However, this is not like the other hostels Ive visited...due to the tight space - none of the rooms have windows, basically its all compressed, not enough room...It might feel conjusted if youre accustomed to live in open space, in nature and they definitely need to improve the service quality.Otherwise, the people are amazing, great friendships happen and you can get almost anything nearby, till late night - and yes - its a Party Den!
It is a comfortable and cosy place for traveller who travelled single or in a group. This place is well maintained and the stuff are really good. Its a dormatory where you can book abed for your need. It has chilling place and a common room. Mostly you can share your culturer experience with many other people in the dormatory.
The place is right at the center of the hustle and bustle of the city.One meets people from different countries here and bond with them.The place has a chilling area where each night is made more exciting than any club.The markets are at walking distance and all kinds of food are nearby.The washrooms are well maintained and breakfast provided is nice.
AC Dorm in heart of Kolkatta city. Near to Parkstreet Metro. Rooms are clean. AC are cooling well. Nice common room n kitchen with fridge for public use. Rooms dont have window
Amazing rooms, great hospitality.Visited here twice, and loved it on both occasions.Chilled out vibe, best for youngsters and backpackers.Lot of foreigners visit this place so good for a cultural exchange!Press the like button below if this review helped you make an informed decision! Thanks!
Great place, very center of the city, restaurants and supermarket near by and best hosts Rhosan and Raju! Made my stay and very great and comfortable on locked down time, really miss their company
Clean and cozy.When youre at the street Location and you dont find the entrance: trust yourself and go through the gate and follow the signs from there. The narrow path looks wrong, but youre on the right track.The bunk beds are clean, the temperature of AC accurate (not too cold).I liked the balcony, where you can meet others for a nice chat or beer.Depending where you wanna go its close. Or far. For me it was right.Next Time Kolkata? Thats the place.
Such a great place to stay. I was there for a night and I really amazed by the ambience, friendly atmosphere and a well equipped kitchen. I was in a dormetory which was fully air-conditioned. One can access their chill-out and common areas to spend time. Wi-Fi speed was good. All together it was a great experience.
Stayed for a night. Bedding stuff was good. But its like hell conjusted where you will have zero ventilation. Its like dark place. If you just want the bed and nothing else you may visit. But if you need space and light this is not the place where you can find. You will have the common balcony where you will have ventilation but no ventilation inside the hostel. Coming to the entrance part, you will literally have to walk through the garbage. 2 stars given is just for the bed I used and nothing else.
I booked a hostel room for the first time in my life. The experience was great. Clean rooms and toilet, decent staff, great location and pocket friendly too! Met a lot of people from several nationalities which hanging out in the open area...A pleasant stay altogether👠ğŸ‘
I visited this place for the sake of exploring and not staying. It seemed a nice location to stay in budget. Though you should not expect much space,but if you are a traveler and give lesser damn about the type of accommodation,then this is a gem location for staying in the best area and lodging decently enough!
A bit has to be compromised with space.🛏️ Bed room literally has no extra space.Does have a spacious common living room and a balcony with a view to sip tea.Washrooms too are a bit conjusted.Located on 2nd floor.Entrance to this place is too bad.Lift to 2nd floor is dead slow.Beds are super comfy.Location is good, great food joints near by.
I think they have a no of permanent guest from the locals. The sleeping arrangement was so tiny. In one bunk bed has three level. Inside of the toilet the garbage bin and the tissue holder was too close and Most of the time you may unintentionally touch the garbadge bin. I felt the administration of Backpackers park is racist because when I arrived there, they asked me to pay in advance because of I am from some south asian country. On the other hand for a south Korean Dont need to pay in advance. Their breakfast arrangement is good enough. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
What is better than being right at the centre of Park Street in Kolkata...Amazing location and the hostel though a bit congested is clean and built well. The common area which is a balcony overlooking Park Street is the perfect area to meet and converse.The rooms are small and feel like army ship decks but the location more than makes up for it.The built up and the walk to the hostel is through a kitchen backyard which may be a put off for some but works for many as its soo Calcutta !I had an amazing stay with some cool conversations.
The place is actually for backpackers only. Neat and well maintained. Just 2 minutes walk from the main park street and 5-7 minutes walk from The Park Hotel. Plenty of clean common restrooms. The dormatory is however very small for 9 beds. So you get one bed for yourself. Check-in early to choose a bed of your choice. I came late and had to share my bed with the Air Conditioner! Youll get a free locker for your valuables but have to buy a lock for 30 INR to lock it. Please pay 30 INR in change. The common areas are very nice and if youre claustrophobic, you might not want to go to the dorm & stay in some space in common area only. The staff and all is nice, we all humans are indeed.
Nice hostel at the heart of the city. Convenient location with all major public transport near by. Things to improve the cold protection sheet is not washed and keep on rolling to every new guest.
This place is very good and friendly for your stay. If you are in Kolkata and want to stay in a good environment, Backpackers Park is perfect destination. It has private rooms as well as 12 bed dormatory available. If yo want cheap stay, choose dormatory, its good, air conditioned, clean and beds are comfortable. The street market around this place is best in which you can find good street food too. Staff of the hotel is nice and well mannered. I stayed here for two days during my visit to Kolkata and I had no problem in any service.
The best park of it the location. close to Park street metro station . few meters from The Park hotel so easy to mention address. Its good if u r solo traveller.The bathroom n shower area is too crowded n its shared by male female both the same I didnt feel comfortable with it as no privacy to change clothes.At this price in such location for short stay is worth.
Good hotel with nice place
Nice hotel at affordable price
Amazing stay one of the best stay
It was great stay in this hostel, This was my first time in a hostel and it was very good experience, if you are a solo or a couple traveller its a highly recommended hostel. pros:1) location- Its in the middle of the town, i.e everything essential is in walking distance to it2) You will get to meet new people & even foreigners & you will get to know about them and their experiences too.3) Very supportive staff.cons-1) Going out at night from this hostel is quite scarry, because hostel is located in an isolated lane, & at night big mices comes out of their holes, and actually they gave me a nightmare when I was going to hostel late night.
Location: Its situated inside the back lane off the main road. Quite difficult to locate it if you dont ask the locals.Amenities: hot water for showering, drinking water, kitchen for cooking, common area for hanging out with friends available. Towel and basic toiletries not provided.Service: Good. Value for money: Price is acceptable, though I hope itd be a little less.
Great location,hospitable staff, beautifully designed balcony and common rooms. However, cleanliness is a concern, I checked in at around 19:30 hrs and left next day at around 07:00 hrs, as the washrooms are common hence proper hygienic maintenance is must,sadly the bathrooms were dirty without proper housekeeping services and I personally think the room size for 12 bunks is little less. Otherwise, a beautiful place to stay, enjoyed my stay.
The location of this hostel is worth 5 stars alone--right off of Park St and a two minute walk from the metro station. Super convenient! The facilities are nice, especially the outdoor common area, but dorms are super super cramped. Triple bunkbeds. They definitely take full advantage of the space they have! But overall a nice hostel, definitely recommend
This is a nice hostel in the heart of Kolkatas nicest area, such a good location!! The downside is there is very little room to move around because they really pack a lot of people into a tiny space. But they still manage to keep the place clean. There is an indoor and outdoor common space, a kitchen (breakfast included), and the washrooms are outside and not connected to rooms. The staff is very friendly. Overall I highly recommend Backpackers Park!
The hostel or whatever you would call a backpackers place, this is just a very compact, cramped place for anyone to even sleep during a night, let alone spending the day there. Its poorly lit and ventilated, with no windows in any room. The three tier bunkers towering along the walls, leaving a 6*2 feet aisle, as the only free space in any room. And the toilets are not very convenient for girls, because they open up to the only public spaces in the hostel. This place should nor be considered, having just its location as the only advantage.
Excellent location in central Kolkata in Park Street. The dorms were quite tight, there wasnt even space for putting our backpacks inside the room. Though the beds were nice and comfy. I had a very good nights sleep. The staff was very friendly, and the kitchen was well equipped. Breakfast included in the dorm price though it was the same everyday so it got a bit repetitive over time if you stay longer than 3 days. A bit of improvement would turn this hostel into a five star location. I would come back for sure.
The only proper hostel in kolkata. The hostel is situated just at the center of the city in the best location easily connected by metro service and bus service. The hostel is in a old heritage building opposite to the park hotel and provides you one of the best experience in the City of Joy.The owner and the stuffs are really good with good level of hospitality.The only problem i had is with the size of the washroom and the bath rooms. They have a common facility and each dorm rooms do not have its own rest room.This is a budget accommodation for any one traveling in kolkata.The common area is well designed and have a play and a smoking place too.
A great place to stay for anyone who is in town for few days. Located in a very prime location adjacent to the park hotel, this hostel provides good services for a very low price. The park metro station and the bus stop is near by so commuting to different part of the city isnt a hassle. Rooms are air conditioned and the bunk beds are very much comfy. There is enough space between the beds to sit upright. The rooms are very tight, and some of the lockers are difficult to access so few of us had to keep the luggage outside of the room. The staff is very helpful and cooperative. Another advantage of staying here is you get to meet people from different parts of the world which is always a good thing if you wish to increase your networking.
Good place for backpackers like me. Clean place but a very small room for 9 people! At times you may feel suffocated as well! There are common bathroom for all the rooms - meaning, if they have 4 such rooms, its only a single bathroom (with 2 compartment for toilet, 2 for taking bath) for 9 x 4 = 36 people. Also passed tough time to find out the entry of that hotel. Too dirty place around the hotel. Horribly slow capsule lift!
Location n Ambience unmatched comparing hostel prices. Clean, tidy n well cooled rooms. Has a small kitchen where you can cook if you wish. Only thing thats of unliking is its shaky approach road leading to lift
Very good with polite people
Its best hostel for living bacuse there are so friendly staff and more carefullyThere are cheap rate for booking roomThats why I suggest you whenever you come in Kolkata for tour you should go for booking room in this hostel
Backpackers Park is one of the better hostels in Kolkata, mainly due to the awesome location. Its super claustrophobic though; there is no space to put your bag or move around in the rooms, which have triple bunkbeds which is a bit annoying. Nice new facilities though and they manage to keep it clean despite the tight quarters. Breakfast included. Short walk from the metro and Esplanade bus stop which is very convenient.
Pros -Located at a prime area of KolkataWell furnishedCons -EXTREMELY CongestedNo WindowsNo ventilationEntry is through a dark and dingy alley behind the buildingNot so professional staff
There are 12 beds in one room for 12 people...very conjusted....no space for placing luggage 🙃
Great location. Great place to meet new people. Bed, though small, was clean and comfortable enough. Rooms were too small and cramped. Also, breakfast options were too limited. Washrooms were decently clean.
Wonderful place for staying. Friendly environment. Clean place. Good breakfast. Close to Metro Station, new market, Victoria Memorial.
The staff was super nice and helpful. Everything was perfect for the price! Nice location near the metro. Free wifi. Free breakfast. Loved it so much and would definitely wanna come back. I recommend this place so much!
Best cheap and peice full place
I love this place all necessary kitchen stuff). Big rooms, well furnished with a flat screen TV, fridge and microwave Free Wi-Fi is a big plus . All person are very nice, friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to have a deal with. Would definitely stay at the backpackers park hostel again.
Its very congested place, no space to move around. overall location is good but, difficult to give ++ remark. i had a bad experience with staff when I reached early morning @08:00 Am & hotel staff has just denied to entertain because checkin time is 01:00 PM, while they had not just checked it , as i had booked it in advance a day before check in.(i was checked in on 8th, while it was booked since 7th)i had a pathetic experience with staff during my checkin. event when during checked out....staff has misbehaved dur some small misunderstanding of my bagages ......not recommended for business peoples, if you want some local place to enjoy or other activities ...this would be a nice place.
Nothing else but backpackers overnight stay. Rooms are small without window. No place to hang Ur towels. Otherwise good to meet people. The best us that they dont mind to check U in early.thats very good. An Indian breakfast is privileged.
If youre a Hostler or a group of 9 to 12 its all rightBut if you are a small group then beware you are going to have tons of fun meeting strangers from all the worldDefinately recommend it
One of the finest Backpackers Hostel. Location, ambience, cleanlines, ambience all just perfect. Most of the guests are non Indians. Viv n atmosphere of hostel is awesome.Worth staying Hostel.
Very comfortable and clean.very helpful staff too. close to metro and bus . many restaurants bars and cafes nearby
Extremely bad service by the staff.Things get misplaced from rooms.No courtesy how to talk with customers.Never ever going to visit here again.And would also request everyone to not visit here.
Excellant experience. Great staff behaviour location assistence and very good co-hostelers☺ï¸
Very shady approach through a dark alley with creepy men staring at you,Not female friendly as there is no female staff present on the property, dirty uncleaned rooms, toikets filled with underwears of other guest hanging on the sides.The contact number is with a not so friendly person, the location is only plus point as its. Right on park street tho inside a shady alley, needs alot of improvement, i cancelled my 3 day stay n made it one night i couldnt cancel that as i arrived very late at night,thats how bad the property was.
Good place and pocket friendly. Nice place to explore and make new friends. Place was very peaceful and cleanliness was utmost priority.
Not suitable for students visiting Kolkata for exams. As peoples staying there are mostly tourists, they do party whole night and put lights on when they enters room (dormitory). Which creates problem for sleeping students.
Best place for travelers and an amazing group of people behind this Beautiful place.It is well connected as it is centrally located and everything is just a walk away. A Lovely place in the city of joy with a great hospitality.
A very good stay for the given price, friendly and polite staff small but neat and clean roomsFemale only dorms for women
Wow... Its amazing.. Great ambience, clean bed, friendly atmosphere.Such a quiet place to stay before exam.
Location is just near The Park inside a market. Dormitory is good. Usually youll see lot of couples there. The lift to go to the hotel is extremely slow. Rooms are decent. Overall as of my opinion, best for low budget couples.
The excellent hotel environment good food great amenities perfect for solo travellers in a mininmum budget great stayA solo traveller need minimum amount full enjoy 😉
Very small rooms but I met some nice people there. Good price for central Kolkata. Good if you are staying 1-3nights.
The positive point is location. Its good for hard core pack backers. I stayed in 6 bed ac female dormitory. bed r clean but I feel uncomfortable to share the toilet n shower space to share with the guys as there is no privacy. For female the shared bathroom should be only shared between the female guest.The breakfast is placed un hygienically as the put pori n veg just there for hours not even covered n guest just come n take. I stayed 2 days but didnt like to ate that kind of breakfast.for short stay its ok in that budget.
It was a GREAT comfortable stay here,never felt away from home,it feels so good,when you get back in evening from your daily work schedule, you have a Group of colleagues from all over India and world waiting for a chit- chat on coffee table in open balcony,then you can watch TV in a common room, morning breakfast is also very simple and good.Location is amazing,very close to business areas and market.highly recommend to all my friends.
The staff was super friendly and always helpful and the overall atmosphere was really light and nice. I wanted to switch bed which was done swiftly and without any problems. The location was right where I needed it to be and was easy accessible with public transportation.
It was quite good for me.I was in rush so I wasnt able to look through their all services. Actually they were unable to provide me the first bed from the floor as I mentioned in my booking and they agreed about it. Because I never slept in this kind of bed before, so I was afraid of climb up. They provided me second bed, but it was ok too.If you are a backpacker then you have to keep with you before entering the hotel below:01. If you stay at a dorm, you have to buy a lock for locker service. They will charge 30 Rupees.02. Shared bathroom has no towels. Their is no common towel too. You have to buy it, they will charge 60 Rupees.03. You should bring soap, toothbrush and toothpaste too. Usually it is provided by every hotel in Bangladesh.04. And dont hope the packpackers who stay at hotel will be that much friendly to you, everybody is busy with their own work or plan of travel. But the hotel employees are awesome, they will always try to help you. Much good service provided by front office female, she knows how to serve guest; cheerful face.Thanks BP and all. Better if you try it by yourself guys.
Good value for money.But cleanliness of the badroom: toilet, shower can be better. It was Ramadan people had little energy.
It was awesome stay with awesome people. thanks to them. Needs to improve their breakfast otherwise nice place to be.
Best place for lodging, if you are foreigner then this plalce is perfect, no rules, morning breakfst available, ac rooms, quick room service
Nice. near to famous places. very neat and clean. recommended to stay. very helpfull staff. tq goibibo
The perfect hostel in Kolkata. It is well kept and is extremely clean. The place is in park Street as a result everything you need is nearby. The staff is also helpful.
Bad
Best place to stay. If you love meeting new people this is the play you should consider staying. Its budget friendly.
Position is perfect, staff is very kind and friendly. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Breakfast is complimentary every day . After check-out I were allowed to leave my bags and luggage at the hostel until late night.
