Pros:

ロケーションが良く、メトロ徒歩圏内で近くで夕食を食べる場所にも困りません。バスルームなしの部屋を選択しましたが、部屋の前がバスルームだったので特に問題がありませんでした。一人旅では充分すぎるほど広い部屋で清潔でした。コスパ重視で満足しています。

Cons:

シャワーは使えず、バケツに溜める方法で使用。インドでは当たり前なのでしょうが、水量と温度が上がるともっと快適になります。

Tea should be fresh and for egg there should be something for vegetarians. Water should be provided for drinking and for bath also.intercom facility should be there for easy communication.
Location was very much approachable to offices where I had to go.

Some more options in breakfast for vegetarians and water and hot tea without sugar if someone want

Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel d'accueil et les personnes qui nettoyaient.

Cons:

Dans une cour séparée de l'hôtel par des fenêtres aux carreaux souvent brisés, il y a des terrains de tennis qui sont occupés de 6h30 du matin à 23h.
Csst donc extrêmement bruyant, surtout quand on essaie de dormir.
Le petit-déjeuner est médiocre ; 3 tranches de pain blanc, un œuf dur, confiture/beurre et un thé (pas à volonté). Parfois le cuisinier antipathique accepte de faire une omelette, mais pas pour tous les clients.
Le couloir et les chambres étaient lavés sommairement, mais il faudrait de grosses rénovations et un nettoyage en profondeur (toiles de poussière, meubles poussiéreux, fenêtres qui ne se ferment pas).
Deux nuits sur les trois, il y a eu une fête à côté qui se finissait à 2h du matin, nous avons dû changer de chambre.

Deco de la chambre un peu passée, aurait besoin d'un bon coup de peinture 🫟 mais pour le prix,il faut pas être exigeant.

Lovely staff but the noisy nightclub next door makes sleep almost impossible
Pros:

Lovely staff who worked hard to make my stay a pleasant one.

Cons:

Unfortunately the YWCA is immediately next door to a night club called 'Carpe Diem'. On Friday and Saturday the incredibly loud (and seriously bad) music blared out until midnight making sleep impossible.

Lovely staff
Pros:

The staff here are really lovely- friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The location is great and the atmosphere is amazing.

Cons:

Noise from the tennis courts can be a bit of a problem if like me, you're a light sleeper, as they start playing very early.

In Old Kolkata.
Pros:

Me encantan los edificios antiguos y su carácter.Habitaciones con el mobiliario original del YWCA.En origen un hospedaje para señoritas católicas.De hecho cumple su función todavía aunque también aloja a viajeros,que desean un alojamiento con desayuno económico,así como grupos de voluntariado.
Más céntrico imposible.Al lado del icónico restaurante "Peter Cat",que todos conocen.
Una manera de localizar el lugar.
Me he alojado varias veces.Esta última prácticamente un mes.

Cons:

Tiene pistas de tenis.El entrenamiento empieza muy temprano y acaba tarde.
Algunos huéspedes se han quejado en sus reseñas.
A mí no me molestó.Al revés me encantaba ver desde la ventana el bullicio de niños con sus madres o profesionales jugando.
Baño compartido con tres habitaciones.Rara vez estaba ocupado.

En pleno Park Street.
Pros:

Bueno...ya es la segunda vez que me hospedo aquí.Mañana parto a Shanti Niketan pero volveré en unos días.Edificio histórico,antaño para señoritas católicas estudiantes,me imagino.
Cumple todavía esta función en parte.Gente que hace voluntariado se alojan aquí.En el corazón de la ciudad.

Cons:

Todo perfecto.Estancias simples,con baño compartido.Sin lujos pero práctico.
El personal muy atento.
Cuándo llegué constó ubicarlo.En realidad la calle ahora se llama Middleton Row.
Al lado del famoso restaurante Peter Cat,que todo el mundo conoce.Y en la esquina el mítico local Flurys.

Estancia en la Calcuta colonial.
Pros:

El lugar tiene mucho carácter.Un edificio antiguo de finales del XIX.Las habitaciones tienen todavía los escritorios originales.Era un YWCA...para señoritas católicas que estudiaban.
En parte cumple todavía esta función.Me encontré con unas chicas españolas que hacían voluntariado.Es muy básico pero el precio y la atmósfera lo vale.
Pienso volver.

Cons:

Negativo...pues nada.Es lo que es.Está muy céntrico.El personal muy amable.El desayuno básico pero bien.Mi habitación daba a unas pistas de tenis.Ocupadas durante todo el día.
No me molestó.Había ambiente desde niños a adultos.Noi necesito una habitación más grande.
El escritorio está muy bien.El baño compartido al lado.Nunca lo encontré ocupado.Standard de limpieza india...india
