Picking an economy hotel in Kolkata with premium services

Kolkata is equally well known for both its luxurious and economical accommodations. Its guests are always welcome with a smile and warmth in the heart of hosts. Therefore, once a person visits the city of joy and enjoys its hospitality, it forever leaves a mark on their minds.

Kolkata is also considered to be the Europe of the East due its open-minded and cosmopolitan culture and like Europe; it too has a very rich heritage. The people of Kolkata love to have fun, chit-chat and bond with their guests and make them feel welcomed and this very accommodating nature is also reflected through its hotels, which always place their guests’ needs on high propriety and make them feel cared for. Even an economy hotel in Kolkata treats its guests like kings and queens, serving them to the best of their abilities and not giving them any chance to complain.

Where they lack in facilities, they make it up in services and dedication to satisfy. Like good hosts, they also introduce their guests to the city and let them know the places that they must visit based on their guests’ preference.

Visitors also get a flavor of the culture, art and food of the state from these accommodations as they periodically organize events that showcase the rich heritage of Kolkata to guests from all over India and abroad.

Earlier, if you were to look for a good hotel in Kolkata, you had to choose between either budget hotels or the very luxurious ones. However, both posed so very real challenges for visitors of the city. While Economy hotels were cheap, they lacked some of the basic facilities and some of them had a very scruffy feel to them, the staff was untrained and additional services were limited. Also, there was no possibility for a package upgrade, hence guests could not move to a better room, leading to their dissatisfaction.

Kolkata’s luxury hotels however had no such problems and actually the reverse; they have had an overabundance of services some of which were not important; all of them leading to a greater pocket pinch which seemed unnecessary.

Hence, hoteliers gave a deep thought about how to achieve a win-win situation for all guests and have therefore come up with a new breed of affordable luxury hotels by combining the best of both worlds. These hotels have given the visitors a new surprise by allowing them better accommodation at reasonable prices. The services here are value added and they also contain several packages for their guests to choose from.


Such hotels serve both traditional Bengali foods along with north and south Indian delicacies for its local guests while international guests can have delicious multi-cuisine food that they can feast on. The staff are also adept in attending to international guests since they speak many different languages and also help guests feel at home in a new city, providing them guidance along with a good shelter and warmth that makes for many cherish-able memories.
