One of the highlights was the dorm room—it was spacious, well-lit, and the beds were super comfortable, offering a great night's sleep. The room was also kept very clean, and there were lockers for securing valuables. It was a perfect environment for relaxing after a day of exploring. I would definitely recommend Hills tale for anyone looking for a fun, social experience on a budget. I’d happily stay here again.

Located in Kolkata, 8.6 km from Dumdum Metro Station, The Nerd Nest Kolkata provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. The property is around 8.7 km from M G Road Metro Station, 10 km from Sealdah Railway Station and 11 km from Esplanade Metro Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Howrah Railway Station is 11 km from the hostel, while New Market is 11 km away. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport is 8 km from the property. As my first visit to India, I arrived at CCU airport in the middle of a winter night. The manager, Ram, was kind enough to wait for me at the arrival hall and pick me up. The awesome Chai tea for breakfast everyday is really great! Couldn’t have enough of the chai every morning because it’s really good as its made fresh at home. The property is also close to the metro (10 mins walk) which is quite new and it brings you right to Kolkata downtown and other major railway stations (Saeldah & Howrah), and the best part is it only cost 20 rupees. It’s a much cheaper and safer way to travel in Kolkata in my opinion, just don’t use the metro during rush hour and it will be a more pleasant experience than the metros in NYC. The property is also quite modern, with a dedicated ‘tech room’ with computer desks designed perfectly for digital nomads or other professionals alike. I was put into a 6 bed room instead of a 8 bed dorm which I paid for, so it’s a free upgrade! Many washrooms with great water pressures.

At the hostel, each room comes with a terrace with a mountain view. Hidden Monkey Backpackers, Railway Station, Darjeeling offers certain rooms that include a safety deposit box, and each room includes a private bathroom with a bath. All units will provide guests with a fridge. It has a great vibe, beautiful views, tasty tea, and amazing people! Vishal especially took very good care of everyone. The room is spacious and has a cosy feel thanks to the bookshelf and "green room" . I loved hearing the prayer calls from the nearby mosque, too. I'll stay there again on my next visit for sure!
