For most travelers, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) is the only primary choice located within Kolkata itself. It handles all major domestic and international traffic for the city. For those arriving from Bangladesh, Jashore Airport (JSR) serves the nearby city of Jashore and is not in Kolkata, requiring a long cross-border transit; it is only recommended if you are already in the Khulna region. Similarly, Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport (RDP), also known as Durgapur Airport, is located in the nearby city of Andal and serves the industrial belt of western West Bengal. It is not in Kolkata and should only be considered if your final destination or origin is within the Durgapur or Asansol industrial corridors. Choosing the correct airport depends entirely on whether your itinerary is focused on Kolkata proper or the industrial regions of western West Bengal. Always account for significant transit times when arriving at the regional hubs outside the city.

Clean and comfortable hotel with spacious rooms, located right in the city center within the old town. It's super convenient for dining and shopping. The staff provide excellent service, and the Ganges River is just a short walk away. The breakfast spread is fantastic, and it's less than an hour to the airport.FromUS$64

Child abuser . Marriott hotel are allowing children as young as 3 years in their bar and not one , seven of them and for hours. They were in the bar when their parents were drinking and even the children were holding alcoholic beverages. I objected few times regarding allowing Children in a bar but no action taken.
It’s against the law and I believe Indian law doesn’t allow less than 21 years old access in a bar.
I couldn’t believe Marriott are allowing illegal activity in a geotag operated by them and that also rested to child and only word I can use is Child Abusing.Very Good69 Reviews

We stayed at The Peerless Inn, Kolkata for two nights. The overall experience was pleasant.
The room and bathroom were excellent—clean, spacious, and comfortable. A special thanks to Ms. Neha at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful right from check-in and arranged our room very quickly.
We are especially grateful to Mr. Somnath, his hospitality truly stood out. “Thank you” doesn’t feel enough to express our appreciation for his kindness and service.
We also had the chance to try the Aaheli restaurant for authentic Bengali cuisine. Every dish was absolutely delicious. The restaurant manager, Mr. Sanjib, was very warm and made us feel truly welcome.
The breakfast had a good variety and the food was delicious. However, the staff at the breakfast restaurant were not very polite and lacked a welcoming attitude or smiles, which slightly affected the morning experience.
Overall, our stay was wonderful, except for the breakfast restaurant staff’s attitude. We would definitely recommend Peerless Inn for its great location, comfortable rooms, and exceptional hospitality from key members of the team.FromUS$53

The hotel's food and beverages are fantastic (pictured), the breakfast is very rich, and the Chinese buffet is also the same (the RMB is close to two hundred). The service was very considerate. One night before check-out, the front desk called the room to get information about the flight. When I knew that it was a flight at 5 pm, I immediately indicated that I could extend the check-out time to half past two. Every time I go out, the staff of the Concierge will use the uber to call the car, and I will not bother. The room cleaning was also very careful. Next time, I will choose to live. The downside is that the market on both sides of the door is too embarrassing, and I can't go out for a walk at night, but the hotel is soundproof, and entering the iron gate is another quiet world. Also, the toilet flushes and needs strength. In addition, perfect.Very Good40 Reviews

Ibis Kolkata Rajarhat offers a convenient location and clean, compact rooms with friendly service. However, the Wi-Fi connectivity in the rooms is poor and inconsistent, which can be frustrating, especially for business travelers. While the hotel is suitable for a short stay, the unreliable internet is a significant downside for those needing a stable connection.FromUS$38

We stayed one night in Vivanta Kolkata (30th night). It was a nice and wonderful experience. Room was very comfortable, food in the restaurant was excellent. As a South Indian, I was surprised to get very good tasting curd rice in the restaurant. Kudos to the chef and the restaurant.
Front desk staff were very pleasant and they gave good guidance to my wife on where to make sari purchases.
All in all, a lovely experience that i definitely would love to repeat!FromUS$53

Kolkata|4.72km from city center
hotel cleanliness and location is ok. only 30 to 40 mins from airport and maybe 50 to 60mins during peak hours.
The room is comfortable and clean.
The food (in room dining) is big portion and solo traveller cannnot order too many dishes.
The reception counter is slow in serving the guests. Always seems to be multi-tasking. I.e. cannot concentrate and handle one guest at a time, while other guests just cut in and then he/she will have attention diverted.
Coffeshop (place where we have breakfast) service is ok in the morning. Mainly because it is buffet.
However, if lunch time 3 to 4pm, their staff is slow in responding and waiting for food and bill is very long.
Their chinese resturant always seems to be closed. So within my days of stay, i visited twice and i was told it is closed.
I dont use their facilities.FromUS$89

Hotel was clean and beautiful. Staff was friendly and helpful. Ms. Kusum was very kind and professional and even changed the room according to our need. Breakfast was with good spread as usual for JW standards. Only setback, too many guests. Crowded during breakfast and lobbies were filled with people due to weddings and events. Otherwise service, amenities and pool areas were all lovely. Satisfied, No regretsFromUS$89

*Review: One-Night Stay at Kenilworth Hotel, Kolkata*
I recently stayed for one night at the Kenilworth Hotel in Kolkata and would rate my overall experience as a 6 out of 10. The hotel has a lot going for it, especially in terms of its location and general ambiance, but there are also a few aspects that could use improvement.
To begin with the positives, the hotel is situated in a very convenient and well-connected area. Being close to central Kolkata, it’s easy to access various parts of the city, whether for business or leisure. The immediate surroundings are pleasant and relatively peaceful, which added to the comfort of the stay.
The room provided was decent—clean, well-organized, and equipped with the expected amenities for a four-star property. The bed was comfortable, and the room had adequate lighting and storage space. The bathroom was functional and clean, although not particularly luxurious. In terms of comfort and upkeep, the room met my expectations.
One feature I particularly appreciated was the hotel’s gym facility. It was clean, well-maintained, and had a decent range of equipment for a quick workout. For a short stay, it was more than sufficient and a welcome amenity for anyone looking to stay active while traveling.
However, one significant downside was the dining experience. The biggest letdown was the limited food choices, especially in the set dinner menu. While the staff were polite and the service was timely, the menu lacked variety and felt quite restrictive. For a property of this category, I had expected a broader range of options, including some regional or seasonal specials. The lack of flexibility and limited appeal of the dinner options certainly took away from an otherwise comfortable stay. It might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, but for those who enjoy exploring a hotel’s culinary offerings, this can be a sore point.
The check-in and check-out processes were efficient, and the staff at the front desk were courteous and helpful. There was a general air of professionalism throughout the hotel staff, which contributed positively to the experience.
In conclusion, Kenilworth Hotel offers a reliable and comfortable stay with the added benefit of a good location and useful amenities like the gym. However, the lackluster food options—especially in the set dinner menu—stand out as an area that needs improvement. With a little more attention to dining and guest preferences, the hotel could elevate its overall appeal. For now, I would consider it a decent option for short stays, especially if dining isn’t your top priority.FromUS$74

Overall, the stay was decent. The hotel has a convenient location, is clean, and the service response was quite prompt – I noticed a minor issue with the room's facilities upon check-in, but staff came to fix it quickly after I reported it. However, compared to similar hotels in the area, I feel the price is a bit high. It would be more highly recommended if it were a bit more affordable.FromUS$66

Had a wonderful stay at Taj City Centre, Kolkata. The service throughout was exceptional, and the breakfast spread was excellent with a great variety and quality. What truly stood out was how helpful and attentive the staff were at every step. A special mention to Dipanjan Banerjee from the Front Office for his warmth, professionalism, and genuine attentiveness. He made the experience even more memorable. Kudos to the entire team for delivering such outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended.FromUS$74
