3-star hotels in Kolkata
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Kolkata, gathered around the airport corridor and New Town.
Staying in Kolkata
Kolkata rewards slow wandering: trams, colonial-era buildings, book stalls and sweet shops share the same streets, and the city's cultural life is as much a reason to visit as its sights. For many travellers, though, the practical anchor is the north-eastern edge of the city, where Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport and the Dum Dum area meet the newer districts of Rajarhat and New Town.
The 3-star hotels on this shortlist sit along that airport corridor, on V.I.P. Road, Jessore Road, Major Arterial Road and Italgacha Road. They suit travellers with late arrivals or early departures who would rather not cross the city at night, as well as couples and families who want a straightforward, well-rated room, and business visitors with work in New Town or the airport belt.
The shortlist
Ranked by hotel class, then guest rating and number of reviews.

With no facility list to lean on, the appeal is the record itself: hundreds of reviewers, very few complaints. It suits travellers who book on reputation rather than extras and want a straightforward stay in the Vip Road area.
