Dden Vennell 2-homestay close to Metro, hotel in Kolkata

Dden Vennell 2-homestay close to Metro is situated in Kolkata, 13 km from Indian Museum and 14 km from Nandan.

I had a great stay here. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. The room was nice and quiet, and you have a lot of privacy. The guesthouse is good to use as a base for exploring Calcutta as it's more quiet and relaxed compared to the guesthouses in the centre. It's easy to get to: first a metro to Kavi Nazrul and then a 10rs shared ricksaw. It's worth the commute to stay in a nice place. I'll definately recommend staying here.

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.

    first of all, I liked the location. Very closed to the metro station and the main road. The hostel staffs are very friendly. Hostel premises is very clean and well maintained. even the hostel is located in a central location, yet it was noise free. Moreover, the hostel is budget friendly and it really worth staying there.

    If you are used to "budget" this is a good fit. Reasonably confortable bed, fan, air con, wifi and hot water. Reasonable location a cheap Uber trip from most places in the city. Mosque close by. Staff always available and helpful. Thrre is a lift, small but functional.

    It was a great location. The staff were great . The rooms were clean and breakfast was very good. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again because it is very good value for money. It took me about 40 minutes to walk to Howrah Bridge from the hotel. Its a very busy city but there is a calmness the hotel as its set back a little off the road so bear that in mind when trying to locate it. The shopkeepers around are very friendly though. I felt very safe .

    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.

    We stayed in Soukyam hotel for a family trip to Kolkata. We were very happy with the hotel for the following reasons: 1. Great location - very close to Dakshinapan. 15 min walk from South City Mall. 2. Very clean and all facilities provided. 3. Friendly staff. We especially liked a receptionist who was cheerful and efficient. 4. Budget friendly. 5. The complimentary breakfast was tasty

    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!
