Howard Johnson by Wyndham Kolkata

The hotel cancelled our booking before we even arrived! We tried checking in at the time we had informed them - 11.00 p.m. - but they said we should have checked in before 6.00 p.m. How could we do that when our flight hadn't even arrived in Calcutta! WARNING - do not use this hotel - they may randomly cancel your booking.

Proximity to airport

Basic hotel but generally clean. Close to the airport so OK for an overnight stay to break up an onward journey.

We arrived very late at night and we're exhausted after an international flight. The hotel did have a driver waiting for us at the airport. But on reaching the hotel, it was weird because the driver seemed to be hanging around waiting for us to pay him. We had a discussion on check in about breakfast, desk attendant said we didn't have breakfast included. We had to show him our booking that showed that we did have breakfast. Our room, #115, looked spacious and comfortable. But, then, we realized how many mosquitoes were in there. Mosquitoes made getting any sleep very difficult. There was also a small spider in the bathroom. Omelet at breakfast was quite good. Then after we had ordered an Uber to get us back to the airport, the reception told us that our airport transfers were included.

Clean American-style Hotel hidden behind a small shopping mall. Hotel books taxi to airport at set fee. Helpful staff.
