VHS - Cutting It Fine!
As usual - still researching/finalising trip - leave 28th Feb.
Having difficulty finding mid-range hotel in Kolkata. Main criteria is "clean" - reviewed on trip advisor but most (apart from top end) seem to have a reason NOT to book.
Can anyone help please?

What's your price range vhs?
You can get a room at the Oberoi for 8,000 rs. on their website.
Lol - you arrive the day I leave.
Frankly, if you can afford that, grab it. Kolkata is a pit for other hotels and Oberoi is right in the middle of everything - and bloody fine to boot.
Mid-range is virtually impossible. Just do the Oberoi if you can afford it. Cut to the chase in Kolkata - it's easier.

Dogster - would love to book the Oberoi although this would normally be out of our price range. 5000 INR is more realistic.......
We will only be in CCU for 2 nights so I guess we could treat ourselves as a one-ff but I can't find the 8000 INR rate. Could it be you looked at 28th Feb? We leave for BKK/Laos/Vietnam on that date but don't arrive in CCU until 30th Mar. I can only see 9000 INR per night...

Yes, I did look at Feb. Even 9,000 is cheap there - but I understand about the $$. I've suggested the Fairlawn in another post. I reckon that the go. That's right in backpacker central and will put you on the circuit. From there you'll meet people who'll tell you where to go.
