Lonely Planet "Probably offers the best value of all the ultrabudget dives. High-ceilinged rooms are as ragged as ever but there’s a somewhat atmospheric old 1st-floor sitting room and a peaceful roof terrace." Full review
Rough Guide "Cramped place, with a relaxing roof terrace; despite the surly – sometimes downright rude – service, it’s been popular with budget travellers since the 1960s... There are better rooms upstairs."

Fodor's "The lounge draws a hip crowd every evening, and the garden is a great place to chill with a cold beer and tangri kebabs (chicken marinated in yogurt and spices)." Full review
Lonely Planet "Artful evening floodlighting brings out the best of the Astor’s solid 1905 architecture, while inside, walls are lavished with B&W photos of old Kolkata."

"The rooftop cafe/bar is also a popular haunt with a laid-back feel. The 34 rooms have a modern style that contrasts with the colonial look elsewhere in the hotel." Full review
