I booked this hotel (6th to 7th Sep'23) for my parents since they need to attend the VISA interview at US consulate. I booked from US using expedia. Within $25 (INR 2000 approx) we got this hotel. My parents had a great experience within this budget. The room were spacious, clean, nice staffs and all. Overall highly satisfied.

Nice hotel close to the US consulate.
Stayed here for my visa interview at the US consulate. Google maps is off when you check the physical address of this hotel. It may be a little difficult to find if you are new to the city, but I had the hotel manager talk to my cab driver who had no problem finding this place. It was within walking distance to the US consulate ( 10 min walk ). Close to INOX on elgin road, and variety of shopping, and food all within walking distance. Hotel per se is small. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Room service available with good food. All rooms are air conditioned. Bathroom was neat and clean. No smoke smell in the room. Good for students and family.

Enjoyable stay.
The room condition was given 4 not 5 is because of the noise of the street and the music every night from a night club underneath the hotel. Though the noise does not bother us, it might some body else staying. Staff were super helpful, polite and friendly. Room service and maid service is great. Food is good too.I give the staff 6++++....

Perfect Low Budget Hotel
Considering the low budget that I stayed at, it was a very nice stay. The only problem was that room service was not 24 hrs. The rooms were not as tidy as I would have expected but I guess that is more of a low budget scenario rather than hotel goofing up.

The Shila International
I stayed in Room no 109 for one night on the 24th Jan. It was very noisy due to loud music being played in the bar. As the hotel is located by the side of the road,its is disturbing due to passing traffic. The hotel does not have a restaurant, where you can have your breakfast (complimentary). The breakfast is served,in the rooms. Location is not peaceful. I do not recommend,this hotel,to any one.

So so
This hotel was ok for one night. I'm sure there were better ones but they were not available at that time or they were overpriced for what I needed. This hotel has a shower with a canister overhead controlling the hot water in the shower. It didn't work when I wanted to take my shower so there was no hot water. sad huh? I also had to ask for some toilet paper. They aren't big on providing a spare roll or making sure there was enough for the two guests. I didn't like the stairs I had to climb from the street either to get inside the hotel. The staff doesn't believe in knocking before trying to open the door.

A Nice Little Hotel Tucked Away
If you want the feel of Calcutta, I always like to stay in the outskirts of town where the true lifeblood of the city thrives; that's why I like this little hotel. And the staff will do everything to make your stay there as pleasing as possible. Warm and gracious!

the price and flexibility of the staff were overal
We were staying at a five star hotel who would not allow us an extended half day considering our flight was at 23:50 hours. This hotel worked out at $66 AUD compared to $262 AUD for 36 hours. The staff were helpful and greatfull. The hotel it self was very basic, don't go here if you want luxury. We were greatful for the Hotel Staff being so obliging.

Gross and uncomfortable
The hotel must be built over a bar, there was loud music playing until about midnight. I had an interior room, but there was a window in it that went to the hallway and light streamed in through the curtains and everything else I could put up to block it. The furniture was not comfortable, and I felt dirty climbing into the bed. There were too many staff so the hotel felt very busy, wifi worked most of the time ( with minor issues), and the location is in Central Calcutta. I had planned to stay here for three nights but only stayed one, I would never come back here.

A Passage to Kolkata
The hotel is just 10 minutes walk from the metro station, so it's ideal to me. Someone said I should have booked a room in Sudder Street, but I later realised that my decision was the good one. Here you don't have all the guys who try to give tourists the best offer in the world. Here, you just blend naturally with the locals. The service was great. I got everything I need, though not like that of a 5-star hotel. I had a pretty clean room with an excellent shower, and also a great air-conditioner. ... That's all. The hotel also offer clean authentic local delicacy at a super reasonable price. ... I had a great time here. (' ',)

We stayed her 3 times, January to March 2012 for a total of 11 nights. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and greeted us like old friends each time we returned. They also looked after a case for us whilst we were traveling around. The rooms are clean with ample space and seating and comfortable beds, though the decor is a bit scuffed in places. In some rooms, muffled sounds from the nightly disco (about 7-11p.m.) can be heard. It didn't stop us from sleeping, but if you are a light sleeper, mention when you book. (Though if you are a light sleeper, you'll probably have a problem with Kolkata anyway!) There is no restaurant, but they do provide room service and the food is excellent - the best veg pakoras and aloo parathas we've had anywhere. Although our booking via the web said breakfast was not included, they provided a great spread every morning at no extra cost and kept trying to persuade us to have more. We were also provided with an English language newspaper each morning. The hotel itself is in a very convenient position, ten minutes walk to Rabindra Sadan metro station and pick up point for many buses, whilst several others pass directly in front of the hotel. Park Street and the Victoria Monument are also within walking distance if you are reasonably energetic. The room rates are very competitive for such a good location. Your taxi driver will probably be totally clueless, so ask to be taken along A.J.C. Bhose Road from the Exide building. It's on the same side, a couple of doors down from Casa Fortuna which is on a corner and fairly easy to spot. The Shila is on the first floor, with only a narrow staircase at street level, so look upwards for the signage which is very clear.

Geeignet für Städtereisen
Das Zimmer ist etwas verwohnt aber voll funktionell. Es ist recht klein und ist nur zum Übernachten geeignet, nicht zum "Wohlfühlen". Es wurde jeden Tag das Zimmer gereinigt und die Handtücher gewechselt, allerdings hatten die Hanttücher und die Bettwäsche Flecken. Das ist war "aktueller" Schmutz, sondern einfach alte Flecken. Auch fand man immer wieder staubige Ecken. Die Fernbedienung war schon lange nicht mehr abgeputzt worden Die Angestellten sind extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab jeden Tag eine neue Flasche Wasser. Die Lage ist sehr gut, direkt an der Metro. Auch ist das Victoria Memorial und Indische Museum zu Fuß erreichbar.

Skuffende opplevelse
Hadde avtale om henting på flyplassen - de kom ikke. Oppgitt telefonnr til kontaktperson gav ingen svar. Standarden på rommet vi fikk tildelt var ikke slik vi forventet etter internettpresentasjonen. Vi sjekket ut av hotellet uten å overnatte der.
