South Kolkata Hotels: Cheap Accommodation in South Kolkata

Diwali and Holi could be the most spoken about festivals of India, but the biggest revelry in Bengal, Durga Pujo festival which takes place for 5 days(apparently) in Autumn is worth the mention to the culture and Art connoisseurs around the world. Being a Bengali,though I’m residing abroad in US for many years now, each year my heart wails and I turn restless if I’m not able to make it to my homeland to get the smell of Autumn and Durga Pujo. It brings me immense pride to introduce you all about the festival in my culture and place of birth. This is the annual celebration of Hindu religion revering the Homecoming of Ma Durga, the Goddess representing Shakti or Female Strength &power. Its a multi day festival that features elaborate temples, pandals(stage decorations) , scriptures, performance arts, fairs, food, oceanic count of crowds and lots of fun. This is that time of the year where artists from every corner of West Bengal come together and put their sweat for months and months in preparing these works of grandeur Art, just to treat our eyes on these special five days in Autumn, Sept/Oct. During this time, people of every age group, religious backgrounds, caste and languages come together to be lost equally in this revelry of absolute food and fun. Visitors from all over the country as also from many parts of the world throng in to be enthralled by such massive creativity display at one place. #mycityofkolkata #durgapujoinkolkata #festivaltime

"Excellent hotel. Very good bedroom and shower. Particularly impressive food...both room service and breakfast. Good rooftop pool. The hotel is situared in the middle of a safe but indifferent area about a 15 mknute Uber away from typical visitor sites...so don't expect views if of the,Taj Mahal from your gdrolm"

The Samilton

8/10 Good

"Stayed 9 nights there in February 2026. The 3* hotel is good value for money and provided very comfortable beds in large rooms with fans and air conditioning. The bathrooms are typically Indian but fully functional. The breakfast provided in Pepper Chino restaurant is superb, with a wide range of options including tea/coffee/juice, fruit, toast, Indian dishes and omelettes, and the Cloud Tavern on the top floor is an ideal place to have an evening meal and a beer or wine. In addition, we found the staff are all extremely helpful. The acid test is would I stay there again? Absolutely I would, without any hesitation! "
