About OYO Mishra Residency Newtown
OYO Mishra Residency Newtown is a two-star hotel on the fourth floor of a building at Dhali Para in New Town, the planned district east of the old city. It suits travellers with early flights from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, delegates attending events at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, and visitors who want Eco Park within a short ride. Rooms are simple and the one listed facility is breakfast. The address sits in a residential pocket rather than a hotel strip, so the stay is quiet and practical rather than polished.
This is a budget address, not a full-service hotel. Guest reviews average 3.7 out of 5 from 336 reviews, which sets expectations at the straightforward end: a bed, a shower, breakfast and a location that works for the airport and for New Town business. There is no restaurant beyond the morning meal listed, and no leisure facilities to plan around. Treat it as a base for a short stay or a night before a flight, and plan meals and evenings elsewhere in New Town or in central Kolkata.
Location and neighbourhood
New Town, also called Rajarhat, is the newest planned part of Kolkata. It grew around Eco Park, the large urban park opened in 2012, and now holds Mother's Wax Museum, Rabindra Tirtha, Biswa Bangla Convention Centre and the Biswa Bangla Gate, along with international hotel chains and serviced apartments. The airport is roughly 15 to 30 minutes away by road. The trade-off is distance from the old city: Victoria Memorial, BBD Bagh, College Street and the Park Street restaurants all sit across town.
Dhali Para is a residential lane, so the immediate walk covers local shops, tea stalls and everyday services rather than sights. Eco Park is 3.1 km away and needs an auto-rickshaw or an app cab. Salt Lake Sector V metro station is 1.7 km off and Karunamoyee 2.6 km. Park Street is 10.1 km in a straight line, 35 to 55 minutes by road, and Esplanade 9.9 km at similar times. Plan each day in one direction rather than shuttling back and forth.
Mornings here are quiet, with office traffic building towards Sector V and the convention centre. Evenings are calmer than central Kolkata, and Eco Park draws walkers at weekends. Durga Puja, usually late September or October, fills the old city's lanes and stretches every cross-town journey, while New Town's wide roads stay easier to negotiate. Check the current year's dates before fixing travel. Christmas and New Year bring the crowds to Park Street, not to this district.
Rooms and facilities
Breakfast is the one facility listed, so the room works as a base rather than a place to spend the day. Business travellers use it for an early start towards the convention centre or the Sector V offices; families get a straightforward room without resort facilities; late arrivals should confirm reception hours and whether breakfast can be taken early enough for a morning flight. The address is on the fourth floor of Suraj Apartment, so ask about access with luggage on arrival.
Kolkata's heat shapes the stay. April and May often run above 35°C with humid evenings, and the monsoon from roughly June to September brings heavy rain and localised waterlogging. Confirm that the room has working cooling and ask about power backup, which matters during storms. Winter, from November to February, is the easy season, with December and January highs in the mid-20s. A room in a residential building is often quieter than a main-road hotel, which helps after a long flight.
Confirm the practical points before booking: check-in and check-out times, whether breakfast is included or charged separately, accepted payment methods and the identification the property requires. Ask how to reach the fourth floor with luggage, whether parking is possible, and whether an early check-in can be arranged for a flight landing before dawn. Ask in advance what the booking covers and what it does not, so there are no surprises at departure.

Getting there
The airport, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (CCU), is 8.2 km from the hotel in a straight line, with 30 to 50 minutes by road depending on traffic. That makes this a sensible last night before an early departure or a first night after a late landing. Pre-book a cab or use an app cab rather than negotiating at the kerb outside the terminal, and add a buffer during the morning and evening rush hours.
Howrah station is 10.7 km away, 35 to 60 minutes by road, and Sealdah is 8 km, 30 to 45 minutes. Both journeys cross busy sections of the city, so allow more time with luggage or in the rain. Arriving from a long-distance train, take a prepaid taxi or an app cab. Kolkata station at Chitpur handles some long-distance and Bangladesh services; check Indian Railways for the current timetable.
Salt Lake Sector V station is 1.7 km from the hotel and Karunamoyee is 2.6 km, both on the East-West Green Line, which runs under the Hooghly to Esplanade and Howrah Maidan. Change at Esplanade for the north-south Blue Line towards Park Street, Maidan and Kalighat. Reach either station by auto-rickshaw or a short cab ride. The Orange, Purple and Yellow lines are partly open and expanding, so check Metro Railway Kolkata for current stations, hours and interchanges.
| To | Distance | By road |
|---|---|---|
| Park Street | 10.1 km | 35–55 minutes |
| Esplanade | 9.9 km | 35–55 minutes |
| Victoria Memorial | 11.4 km | 35–60 minutes |
| Howrah station | 10.7 km | 35–60 minutes |
| Sealdah station | 8.0 km | 30–45 minutes |
| Kolkata airport (CCU) | 8.2 km | 30–50 minutes |
| Salt Lake Sector V metro | 1.7 km | 10–20 minutes |
| Karunamoyee metro | 2.6 km | 15–25 minutes |
Food and sights near OYO Mishra Residency Newtown
Eco Park, 3.1 km away, is the nearest large sight: Prakriti Tirtha, opened in 2012, a planned park with lakes, lawns and themed sections, with entry ticketed. It is the reason many visitors choose this side of the city. Mother's Wax Museum and Rabindra Tirtha sit within New Town as well, and Biswa Bangla Gate is a useful landmark for orientation. Allow a half day for the park rather than an hour, and check current opening days before setting out.
Beyond New Town, the draw is the old city. Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar are 6.2 km away: Tangra is the centre of the city's Chinese community and Indian-Chinese cooking, and Tiretta Bazaar holds a Chinese breakfast market early in the morning. College Street and the Indian Coffee House are 8.6 km off, the Boi Para book market and its coffee house on the same stretch. Mother House is also 8.6 km, and Marble Palace 8.7 km, a private residence entered on a free permit.
Eating near the hotel means New Town's own spread around the convention centre and Sector V, largely hotel and serviced-apartment dining, plus local eateries in the residential blocks. For the classic addresses, head west: Flurys, Peter Cat, Mocambo and Trincas on and around Park Street, Nizam's near New Market for the kathi roll, and Nahoum's in New Market for bakery staples. These are 35 to 55 minutes by road. Evenings can stay local, at Eco Park or near Biswa Bangla Gate.

A day from OYO Mishra Residency Newtown
Start with breakfast at the hotel, then take an auto or cab 3.1 km to Eco Park for the morning, when the heat is lower and the walking is easier. Entry is ticketed, so check the current timings and the ticket counter before leaving. Two hours in the park covers the main lawns and lakes, longer if the themed sections appeal. Return to Dhali Para for lunch and a rest through the hottest part of the day.
The afternoon suits indoor stops. Mother's Wax Museum and Rabindra Tirtha are within New Town and pair well with the park, or take a cab 6.2 km to Tangra for an Indian-Chinese lunch and a look at the old Chinese neighbourhood. Keep road time in mind: cross-town trips at these distances run 35 to 60 minutes, so pick one area rather than three. Carry water and start back before the evening peak builds.
In the evening, choose between Eco Park's open paths and a longer run into central Kolkata. Park Street is 10.1 km away, 35 to 55 minutes by road, where Flurys, Peter Cat and Mocambo suit a slow dinner; check the last metro back if travelling that way, since Green Line services finish earlier than road traffic. Esplanade, 9.9 km off, is the interchange for the Blue Line. Keep the return simple on a night before a flight.
Booking tips and when to go
Book early for Durga Puja, usually late September or October, and for the Christmas period from mid-December to New Year, when demand in Kolkata rises and road times stretch. Ask for an early check-in if a dawn flight is the reason for the stay, and confirm the latest check-out before arrival. Build extra time into any cross-town plan during office rush hours, roughly early morning and early evening, and check festival dates for the current year before fixing tickets.
November to February is the best window for this area: dry, comfortable days with December and January highs in the mid-20s, which suits Eco Park and long walks. March warms quickly, April and May bring 35°C plus with humid evenings and storms, and the monsoon from about June to September is heaviest in July, with waterlogging after downpours. If travel falls in the rains, keep plans local and allow generous road time to the airport.
Carry cash for auto-rickshaws, markets and street food; cards and UPI are widely accepted in hotels, malls and restaurants. Yellow Ambassador taxis are metered, so insist on the meter, or use an app cab. Drink bottled or filtered water. At temples and religious sites, dress modestly and remove shoes where required. Most foreign visitors need an Indian e-Visa before travel, checked on the official Indian Visa Online portal, and airport procedures change, so confirm with the Airports Authority of India.
