At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a terrace with a garden view. At Dden Vennell 2-homestay close to Metro every room includes a private bathroom and bed linen. I had a great stay here. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. The room was nice and quiet, and you have a lot of privacy. The guesthouse is good to use as a base for exploring Calcutta as it's more quiet and relaxed compared to the guesthouses in the centre. It's easy to get to: first a metro to Kavi Nazrul and then a 10rs shared ricksaw. It's worth the commute to stay in a nice place. I'll definately recommend staying here.
