I have stayed here a few times & I agree with a Trent review that the hotel is going from bad to worse. The rooms are fine & clean but the two biggest disappointments are the restaurant & staff. The breakfast is below average & ambience of the restaurant is dark & dull. The service & staff are generally unfriendly... More

This a follow-up review to my earlier review hotel for this hotel. I have since stayed in this hotel 2-3 times during my business trips. Firstly, the standard rooms in this hotel are extremely tiny. Difficult to move around when I am alone. I am afraid to think how 2 adults manage in the same room. Impossible for families with... More

The Hotel Bawa Walson is good and centrally located in downtown Kolkata. The Indian Museum is within walking distance. Courtyard and foyer make a clean impression. The very friendly staff welcome guests. The breakfast offered was well prepared and fresh, unfortunately, a bit messy. Our room had no window, which was sent with the kachiert interior. Unfortunately, it was also... More

It is off the budget hotels street- Sudder street. Compared to Malaysian hotels, RM210 a night for a single room of a two-star hotel is very expensive. But I guess compared to those in Kolkata, it is probably a standard. The room is compact and clean. The bed is comfortable. However, the sound isolation is poor- as I could still... More

I find it difficult to write this review as there is nothing great about this hotel but also nothing awful - just OK! The one real positive was the location on Sudder street which we found was quite central and fairly easy to walk to some of the main sights. Rooms were modern but ours, on the ground floor was...
