Holiday Inn Express Kolkata Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Kolkata Airport by IHG

8/10 Good
"Ok set up and well maintained throughout. Some building work around so there are issues with noise and dust. Hotel staff needs training in customer care and reception skills. Does not allow food and drinks from outside. The hotel’s food and drinks at a good standard with reasonable prices. Near to airport and walkable distance to metro (Jessore road) so that’s a plus"
