I have often stayed in the hotel for official and business trip. The hotel is near the commercial hub of Kolkata and easily accessible to new markets. The breakfast was nothing write about considering covid and they are serving in make shift area. But still good for budget staying in main commercial area
Pleasant stay and right on Sudder St.
Close to the Indian Museum and New Market. The breakfast options are adequate and healthy. Staff are all very helpful and a accommodating.
A great place to base yourself in this bustling glorious city.
I stayed at Lytton hotel for 3 nights The hotel is in the center of Kolkata and streets around are full of restaurants and shops. The room was comfortable and quite big, but the bathroom was not very clean and sanitary tubes were rusty and dripping. Breakfast was rich of Indian dishes but poor of international food.
Rather dark old-style furnishings, air conditioning that is all or nothing, so either full blast and freezing or warm, damp and fusty. The lavatory poured water onto the floor every time it was flushed - the plumber came every time I complained and put some more gunk onto the pipe but it did not stop the torrent.
The worst part of this hotel is the absolutely deafeningly noisy nightclub situated on the ground floor. It has neon flashing lights as well as such loud "music" thumping away that the floor in the restaurant was shaking and vibrating and it was impossible to eat in the restaurant during the hours of operation of the nightclub, as you could not sustain a conversation. I complained more than once and was simply told that it would stop at 2330!! What made it worse was that this was the only place you could get a drink as they do not serve alcohol in the restaurant, or you had to order room service.
Very disappointed with the employees and the owner. They refused to let a poor man eat at our table even though we wanted to pay for his meal. We are a group of 20 Canadians on a humanitarian trip and discrimination is not part of our values. We will never come back!
