GREAT hotel. Our double AC room was sparkling clean and had the nicest bathroom I've ever used in India (which also included toilet paper—amazing). We had no problems with bugs, which in my experience is also quite rare in India. The price was reasonable at 850 rupees a night for the double AC room, and friends told me they have... More

Dear Guest Thanks for your very valuable and good comments regarding our hotel. Yes the noise during day time which you have mentioned is due to ongoing renovation of rooms and addition of new rooms and demand in our hotel is more than the rooms available which you have written in your comments. We are adding rooms so that we... More

I really liked the time I spent at Hotel Galaxy! Of course every place has its positives and negatives, but in my opinion, Hotel Galaxy is the best option to stay at Sudder Street. More than a good hotel manager, Harry is part of my family in India! All the staff are very helpful and friendly! They were always offering... More

I stayed at Hotel Galaxy for over three months, and I can vouch that the establishment is exceptionally well run. The owner is a wonderful fellow, who is incredibly helpful and honest. He genuinely cares about your well-fare. I was sick for some time, and he would check up on me and make sure I had medicine and water -... More

One of the more expensive budget options, to us Hotel Galaxy seemed like an oase of quietness in busy Kolkata. The room we got had two double beds and an attached bathroom. The boiler only worked once, but that's always a risk in India, we've learned. The staff was friendly enough and let us stash our backpacks while we spent... More

I think this is the best low-budget accomodation in Kolkata in the area of the Sudder street, the preferred by volunteeers. I've seen several other places in the area, and I've found Galaxy as the cleanest, with hot water and simple but reliable facilities, so I've decided to spend there my 2 weeks in Kollata. The personnel is very kind... More

Harry and the staff are very friendly. The rooms were clean, there's hot/warm water running in the washroom, loved the environment. Hotel galaxy felt like my home in India. When I go back to Kolkata, I would stay here again over any other places on Sudder St!
