DEV Guest House

In one word Clean, Safe, but Privacy Concerns 1. Sleeping Arrangement and Storage Facilities Each room has three separate beds, each paired with a nearby drawer for storage. Above the drawer, there’s an electric socket conveniently placed for charging phones or other electronics. In one corner of the room, there’s a cupboard divided into three moderately spacious lockers, each secured with a lock and key. To avail a locker, you need to deposit ₹500, which is refundable at the time of checkout—provided you don’t lose the key. If the key is lost, the deposit will not be returned. 2. Cleanliness and Washroom Facilities The room was exceptionally clean, which I really appreciated. There’s a shared washroom setup—one has an Indian-style commode with an attached shower, and the other offers a Western-style commode along with an additional washbasin. Both were well-maintained and hygienic. 3. Entry/Exit Security Protocol One of the rules here is that if you want to leave or enter the premises, you need to call the reception staff, who will come and unlock the main door for you. Thankfully, this process doesn’t take long—usually just 2 to 4 minutes. I actually found this rule reassuring, as it prevents unauthorized access and ensures guest safety. 4. Lack of Privacy and Monitoring Concerns However, one thing I didn’t particularly like was the lack of privacy. The dormitory rooms are separated from each other by plywood partitions that are around 7 to 8 feet high. If someone climbs onto a bed, they can easily peek into the neighboring room. Moreover, there’s a CCTV camera installed which can monitor activity inside the room—another aspect that may raise concerns for guests seeking privacy.

Hotel room very neat and clean. Staffs are cooperative and humble. And its very close to Howrah Junction you can reach there about in 4-5 minutes on foot. Overall good stay at all. It is near to Howrah Junction and at The Grand Trunk so you don't need to go far for anything that you want like breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Nice cosy room. Newly refurbished room, bathroom was cleaned and bad was comfortable. Nice lobby with some sort grand old fashioned decor staffs were very friendly and service were excellent. Definitely will come back y=to stay here as my hotel of choice when I'm at Kolkata

Rooms are cozy but clean and fresh. Toilets are well maintained but the bathroom fittings are not in a very good condition. The staff are very friendly although late in night 1-130am. Also it's about 20minutes walk from Howrah station.
