Hotel Heera - Best Budget Hotels In Kolkata — Hotel in Kolkata

To begin with; I am a budget traveler, a flash packer of sorts, and look for hotels in the $30 USD range. If I go over budget, no worries and if I find really cheap accommodations that suite me that’s an added bonus.||||I’m currently on my second tour of India (February 2018 - March 2018). I find that all the hotels I have stayed at are pretty much the same. No matter what price I paid (500 - 2500 INR) at any given hotel, I found the cleanliness to be substandard, the rooms outdated and in need of serious remodeling and maintenance appears to be non existent. Typically the bedding, linen, pillows and towels are worn, stained and should be replaced. Hot water and water pressure can be an issue and I have at times skipped a shower. Amenities are totally lacking, mostly you get a roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap. Most budget hotels do not clean the rooms on a daily basis, seems to be upon request. Wi-Fi is hit or miss, some places it was quite good, others not so much. Never found much in the way of English language channels on the television so I did not watch it. A visit from a mosquito or two was a nightly occurrence at just about every hotel I stayed at. India is noisy, and I found most hotels to be as well, from a combination of street sounds, staff and guests. In all honesty, none of the Indian hotels that I stayed at deserve more than three stars.||||Now to the review: ||Hotel Heera is a typical Indian style budget hotel; out-dated dirty rooms, grotty linen and towels, no amenities etc. I had a deluxe room which had a walk in price of just under 2500 INR, the booking.com price was basically the same.||||The positive :||The Wi-Fi worked very well, plenty of hot water, English language television channels including a few news channels and a...

I stayed here with friends for over a week. |Great location to explore the streets, markets and sights of Kolkata. We paid around $2100 rupees per night for the whole room which is good value for what you get.||Our room was on the top floor. We had a double bed, a single bed, bathroom, television, air conditioning. Shower gels and soap provided.||Rooms can be cleaned free of charge each day.|Staff were very friendly and most spoke English. Food is delicious, cheap and can be ordered to the room for no extra charge. ||Wifi was at times sporadic but in my experience this is common across many hotels and cafes here. The router was accessible on the top floor so we could reboot it by turning the power off for 15 secs and back on. After doing this the speed was much better and more consistent.||It was easy for us to get Uber's leaving and returning to the hotel. Sometimes the Uber's park a minute away so you have to find them if they don't get closer.||PRO TIP: when getting taxis or Uber's make sure you don't set it to hotel heera international. That is a different hotel. This is Hotel heera with no international...

I stayed in this hotel with my family, And I am telling you the truth, this hotel and all the staff members and receptionists here are really amazing. Their service and behavior is very good, and also their staff is very helpful. I would like to say thank you to an uncle from the staff who helped me. That uncle comes in the morning for room cleaning and it was actually this uncle who helped me when I suddenly started having stomach ache, then this same uncle took me to get an injection. Once again thank you soo much uncle for you helped me and I will never forget that.🙏☺️ And guys If you ever visit Kolkata then definitely stay in this hotel. Everything is close to you from here, from the market to the station, everything is nearby and also within your price budget. Next time I come to Kolkata, I will definitely...
