Excellent introduction to Kolkata.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Mar 2017
We stayed here a year ago , but don't seem to have left a Tripadvisor review.
The B&B couldn't have been better. After the initial shock of arriving from the UK for our first visit to Kolkata Jayant and his B&B were such a pleasant surprise .
We were made very welcome and comfortable and Jayant couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. A haven of peace after our explorations in the city.
When we return , will definitely stay again .

My wife and I stayed at Central for 5N during our recent visit to Kolkata. It is certainly one of the best B&Bs we have stayed in India. The place is well located, clean and comfortable. Owner, Jayant is a friendly and helpful person and went out of his way to make us feel at home. We stayed in Room # 2 which was large with an ensuite bath and a balcony. There are plenty of eating options nearby and Forum Mall (with a food court & movieplex) is within walking distance. Jayant, having grown up in Kolkata, knows the city well and was happy to recommend his favourite eating places. We even had a look at the Kolkata night sky through his powerful telescope.
All in all we had a great time and will certainly stay their again during our next visit to Kolkata.

The Central Bed and Breakfast is a home away from home, For us it was the starting point of our trip, and helped us to transition really well. The location is great for some gentle walks and is easy to get transport to and from.

This place is amazing! A beautiful apartment in a nice part of town, within a very manageable distance of everything you'd want to see. Lots of thoughtful extra details, like snacks in the room and the option to stargaze on the roof at night! Jayant is always immediately on hand via email to help with anything at all and the staff in the apartment are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Stay here if you possibly can, for as long as you can (book early to avoid disappointment!).

This is a super comfortable place because Jayant, the owner has thought of every little detail. The ensuite rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, and everything very clean. The wifi is very fast. There is a large shared lounge, with a computer for guests, and a fully equipped kitchen and large shared refrigerator for guests. They make breakfast for guests in the morning and there are always (complimentary) essentials in the fridge. A water purifier is installed in the kitchen. There is even a treadmill for exercise enthusiasts. Jayant responds very quickly by email and phone, and actually lives in the flat opposite. Taxis can be booked very efficiently in request. The location is of course as central as it gets - with dozens of restaurants and shops nearby. The price is very reasonable compared to hotels!

We ended our Indian tour here and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My girlfriend wasn't convinced when we first arrived due the the exterior looking a little scary but she came around once we checked in.

Firstly, security here is very high. There are guards at the gate, then the lift and then the apartment has a pin and then you have a key to your room. I think there are only 4 guest rooms and everything is immaculate.

The room was huge and there's a 40ish inch tv with stacks of channels. They provide snacks and coffee etc (such a pleasant surprise). Everything is very clean and you can tell that the owners take pride in the accomodation that they provide.

The location is excellent. We explored most of Kolkata on foot and only needed a taxi for the howrah bridge. We could've walked there but the smog of Kolkata can become a bit overwhelming.

In summary: safe, clean, excellent location, helpful owners, pleasant communal area. Highly recommend. I'm so glad we cancelled our cheaper accomodation to stay here.
