Hotels in Bara Bazar

"The room and bathrooms were clean. The lobby is one of the best. The staff is friendly. The breakfast was awesome. Wish they had a better bar to hang out. "

"An excellent place to stay right on the river with views of river traffic and bridges. Excellent restaurant service and bar inside and outside with full menu that will also work for more Western tastes. Within a mile of major Indian rail system. One of few or possibly only floating hotel."

"Very nicely welcomed, stayed in room 101, a small suite in the heritage building and everything at 5 star level. Food and drinks was good and serving far above normal Indian level. Only small complaint is that every time we got into our room in the afternoon to take a shower -just after having taking off the clothes off - someone rang the doorbell and asked if we were nereding anything. Chreck-out again smoothly and professionel. Definitely a place we will like to stay next time in Kolkota. "

"Pure cold business place. Simple and functional. No extra facilities or nice spaces "

"Great location. Great staff. No refrigerator in the room. Gets a wrong impression of Aster hotel standards. "

"The hotel was wonderful. I was a solo traveler and felt very safe here. The concierge Amit seemed to be looking out for me. He was very helpful in everyway. I was able to walk to India Museum from this hotel as well as Saint John's Church for the Black hole of Kolkata memorial. The breakfast in the morning was very nice, although the staff did seem to have a hard time keeping everything fully stocked. I would definitely stay again."

"The building strikes me as an elegant older house with numerous wood furnishings. The restaurant was superb and the staff quite efficient and helpful. This is a great oasis away from the bustle of the city."

"Room spotless, friendly staff, a very good experience"

"While convenient for access to the city, the immediate area is not particularly pleasant. However, the hotel, while it provides all that is needed, is a little 'tired' as to its decor. But, the in-house 'pure veg' restaurant and bar is excellent, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff are charming, friendly and efficient. It may not be 5* but gets an A from me. "

"If you’re looking for something old world and quirky stay at the Elgin. Fantastic location too. Walking distance to new market, park street, Eden gardens etc. "

"Stayed 9 nights there in February 2026. The 3* hotel is good value for money and provided very comfortable beds in large rooms with fans and air conditioning. The bathrooms are typically Indian but fully functional. The breakfast provided in Pepper Chino restaurant is superb, with a wide range of options including tea/coffee/juice, fruit, toast, Indian dishes and omelettes, and the Cloud Tavern on the top floor is an ideal place to have an evening meal and a beer or wine. In addition, we found...

"For the price I was not expecting much. I just need aircon, and a comfy bed. I was very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The food in the restaurant was good, the service friendly. Really good aircon, good plumbing (a rarity in India?), and the most comfortable bed I had in India. I would definitely return to this hotel. "

"Staff are very good. I ask for extra time to checkout and they give me extra time to checkout just for 800 rupees. thank you. Shopping center 10 min walk. "

"Good enough for a night stay"
