About Super Collection O New Town Near OM Sweets Formerly Shiva Inn
Super Collection O New Town Near OM Sweets Formerly Shiva Inn is a guesthouse in New Town, the planned district on the eastern side of Kolkata, and it suits a particular kind of trip: a flight out of Dum Dum early the next morning, a conference at one of the New Town venues, or a short stay built around Eco Park. It is a guesthouse rather than a full-service hotel, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a restaurant and bar on site.
The address sits in Action Area 1, on the block and street grid that defines Rajarhat, so the setting is wide roads and newer buildings rather than the crowded lanes of the old city. Family rooms are listed, lifts serve the floors, and laundry service and luggage storage are available. The desk stays staffed around the clock, which matters when a flight leaves before dawn or a train gets in late.
Location and neighbourhood
New Town, or Rajarhat, is the newest planned district in the city, laid out in numbered action areas with offices, apartments and serviced accommodation alongside the hotels. Eco Park, Mother's Wax Museum, Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Biswa Bangla Gate and Rabindra Tirtha all belong to this development. The airport at Dum Dum is closer than the old city is, which is why the district fills with travellers on early flights and with delegates during conference weeks.
Almost nothing here is on foot in the old-city sense. Eco Park is 3 km away, a short cab ride rather than a stroll. The nearest metro stations, Salt Lake Sector V and Karunamoyee, are 4.6 km and 5.5 km away, so the journey starts with an auto-rickshaw or a cab. Everyday shops and eateries sit along the surrounding blocks, but anything beyond the immediate streets needs a vehicle.
Mornings in New Town are quiet and functional, with office traffic building towards Sector V and the airport road. Evenings draw people to Eco Park and the open ground near Biswa Bangla Gate, and the roads empty earlier than in central Kolkata. During Durga Puja, usually late September or October, community pandals appear across the district; check the current year's dates, because routes and timings shift.
Rooms and facilities
For work, the practical points are the desk, telephone, Wi-Fi and dependable air conditioning, plus room service when a meeting runs late. The 24-hour front desk handles early check-outs and messages, and laundry service helps on longer assignments. The on-site restaurant removes the need to hunt for dinner after a conference session. Ask for a room away from the lift lobby if calls are scheduled, and confirm whether a quieter floor can be arranged.
Families get family rooms and lifts, which takes the effort out of bags and tired children. Luggage storage is useful when a flight lands hours before a room is ready, or when a train leaves after check-out. A wake-up service matters when the airport run starts before daylight. Late arrivals can still order food, and the bar gives adults somewhere to sit while the desk completes the paperwork.
Kolkata's heat and monsoon shape what to ask about. Air conditioning and fans are listed, so confirm the room has both and that the unit is serviced. In the monsoon, roughly June to September, waterlogging after heavy rain can slow any road journey, so build slack into airport runs. Towels, toiletries and drinking water are listed. Confirm current check-in and check-out timings, the cancellation terms, and whether an early arrival can be held.

Getting there
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport at Dum Dum is 9.4 km away in a straight line, and 30 to 55 minutes by road depending on traffic. Metered yellow taxis and app cabs both serve the terminal area; insist on the meter in a yellow taxi. Allow extra time in the evening peak and through the monsoon. The route follows New Town's wide roads, so the final stretch into the district is straightforward once clear of the airport approach.
Howrah station, on the west bank of the Hooghly, is 13.6 km away and 40 to 70 minutes by road. Sealdah, on the east side of the centre, is 10.7 km and 35 to 60 minutes. Both journeys cross congested ground, so treat the upper figure as realistic at rush hour. Use the prepaid counter or an app rather than a driver who approaches inside the station, and keep the booking confirmation to hand.
The metro is useful but not on the doorstep. Salt Lake Sector V station is 4.6 km away and Karunamoyee is 5.5 km, so the trip begins with an auto-rickshaw or cab to the station. From there the Green Line runs towards Sealdah, Esplanade and Howrah Maidan. The Orange Line in New Town is partly open and expanding, and the airport has its own station on the Yellow Line; check Metro Railway Kolkata for current stations and hours.
| To | Distance | By road |
|---|---|---|
| Park Street | 12.7 km | 40–65 minutes |
| Esplanade | 12.7 km | 40–65 minutes |
| Victoria Memorial | 13.9 km | 45–70 minutes |
| Howrah station | 13.6 km | 40–70 minutes |
| Sealdah station | 10.7 km | 35–60 minutes |
| Kolkata airport (CCU) | 9.4 km | 30–55 minutes |
| Salt Lake Sector V metro | 4.6 km | 20–35 minutes |
| Karunamoyee metro | 5.5 km | 20–35 minutes |
Food and sights near Super Collection O New Town Near OM Sweets Formerly Shiva Inn
Eco Park, also called Prakriti Tirtha, is the closest large sight at 3 km and opened in 2012. It is a big urban park with lawns, water and themed sections, and entry is ticketed. Mother's Wax Museum, Rabindra Tirtha and Biswa Bangla Gate sit in the same New Town cluster, so they combine easily with the park in a single outing. A morning start brings cooler air and lighter traffic on the approach roads.
Beyond New Town the city opens up. Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar are 8.6 km away: the old Chinatown with its early breakfast market, and the district known for Indian-Chinese food. Mother House on AJC Bose Road is 11.1 km. College Street, with its book stalls and the Indian Coffee House, is 11.4 km, and Marble Palace is 11.6 km, a private residence where entry needs a free permit, so confirm current arrangements.
Eating is easiest on site, where the restaurant and bar cover most needs. For more choice, Tangra's Indian-Chinese kitchens are a short ride east, while Park Street, 12.7 km away and 40 to 65 minutes by road, holds Flurys and Peter Cat. Sweets are the city's signature: mishti doi, rosogolla and, in winter, nolen gur. The blocks around the address cover essentials; the big central markets need a ride.
- Eco Park (3.0 km)
- Tangra & Tiretta Bazaar (8.6 km)
- Mother House (11.1 km)
- College Street & Indian Coffee House (11.4 km)
- Marble Palace (11.6 km)
A day from Super Collection O New Town Near OM Sweets Formerly Shiva Inn
Start early and take a cab 3 km to Eco Park while the air is still cool. Give the grounds a couple of hours, then look at Mother's Wax Museum and Rabindra Tirtha in the same New Town cluster. Return to the guesthouse for breakfast and a shower before the heat builds. This is a slow morning by design, because everything else on the list is a longer ride and the day needs reserves for traffic.
After lunch, head 11.4 km to College Street for the book market and a pause at the Indian Coffee House, then continue to Marble Palace, 11.6 km from the hotel, where a free permit is needed. A shorter alternative is the run to Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar at 8.6 km, keeping to the food streets rather than the breakfast market, which requires a very early start.
Come back east before the evening peak. Biswa Bangla Gate and the open space around it make a simple end to the day, and Eco Park is calmest once the afternoon crowds thin. Dinner at the guesthouse restaurant, then sort bags, charge devices and confirm the morning airport run of 9.4 km with the front desk. An early night pays off when the flight is before dawn.
Booking tips and when to go
Book well ahead for Durga Puja, usually late September or October, and for the Christmas period, when the Park Street lights draw crowds across the city; check the current year's dates with West Bengal Tourism. Weekday stays are calmer than weekends, and conference weeks in New Town fill the district quickly. Confirm check-in and check-out times when booking, and state an early arrival or late departure in advance rather than on the day.
November to February is the most comfortable stretch for this side of the city: dry, mild days and cool mornings. February stays pleasant, March warms up, and April and May bring 35 °C plus humidity with evening storms. The monsoon, roughly June to September, is heaviest in July and brings waterlogging after downpours, which matters when a journey depends on road travel to the airport. Winter mornings can be hazy with poor air quality.
Carry cash for taxis, markets and street food, since cards and UPI work widely in hotels, malls and restaurants but not everywhere else. Insist on the meter in yellow taxis and use app cabs when the queue is long. Drink bottled or filtered water. At temples such as Dakshineswar and Kalighat, dress modestly and remove shoes where required. Most foreign visitors need an e-Visa before travel; check the official Indian Visa Online portal. Dhonnobad means thank you.
