I was torn between three stars and four. Good location (close to Sudder Street, but also far enough to feel a little less touristy), very clean rooms, plenty of hot water, decent price, decent blankets/linens. As others have said, the staff seems entirely indifferent and speaks very little English, so don't go there expecting them to suggest itineraries or set... More

Give it a try but you wont find a better deal than this at Park Street which is one of the poshest places in Kolkata. Best quality in cheapest rate. Very friendly manager and staffs. This place has got two lovely roof gardens high up which will give you a good view. Me and my friend came here once two... More

So many things were good about this place. My train was late and I arrived after 2:00 a.m. & was well taken care of that night. I love the old elevator, the elevator operators, and the atmosphere of the building. All my needs were met very well (laundry, etc.). The location was much more interesting to me than Sudder Street—much... More

I had reserved a standard double bed for 1000 Rs. Per night, on arrival they tried to push me into a 1350 deluxe room because I "didn't specify", which is incorrect. I had planned to stay for 3 nights and when they tried to charge I told them I would only stay one night instead. This caused them to give... More

Pros: Location near Park Street is convenient for eating out and shopping for books or music. Room was large and fairly clean. Cons: The guesthouse is in the top floors of a strange, old building. You need to take a scary elevator, and the office to check in is inconveniently located way up on the roof. There are no screens... More

Decent clean place in central Kolkata, close to Metro & great kathi roll place. Lovely roof terrace for breakfast and helpful lift guy who finds breakfast & other staff when you can't. Respond to emails quickly. Recommended. http://sunflowerguesthouse.com/ More

I was travelling across India by car and (through no fault of the Sunflower) was stuck in Kolkata for the best part of a month trying to get it shipped. 2 1/2 weeks of this was spent at the Sunflower. For a start - personally I would choose a place on the ground floor in future. Not criticising the Sunflower... More

This place is basic, reasonably clean, and with reasonably helpful staff. The building is old and has an original 'shut the gate' lift. Location is good, with reasonable places to eat very nearby. An old school travellers' place - not super basic, but a long way from high end. More
