J's Nest

From the communication with the property to our stay there, it was all very easy and comfortable. My friends family picked us up at the airport and brought us to the hotel. A little difficult to find but as long as you say CK market, sector 5, Salt Lake then you should make it most of the way. We booked the Deluxe Studio. At least, for Canadians, this would actually be called a one bedroom as the bedroom is separate from the kitchen/living area. Loved the bathroom as it had the shower area separated by a partition from the toilet. There was also soap and shampoo. The TV had netflix that could be viewed without a password and the wifi worked well. We had dinner one night and one breakfast and the food was good. We were there for a wedding so we ate out most other days. There is also a wonderful cafe, called the cafe 82 (which also has a salon attached) and it is only about a 10 minute walk from the property. I cannot eat any spicy food at all and they prepared continental western meals beautifully. J's nest also had a washing machine on the top floor that we used. Any questions we had were always answered promptly by the host. I found the area to be very safe and it is also walking distance to the metro from where you can get to the city center shopping mall. It is important to note that all the metro stations are not up and running with many lines yet to be completed. A rickshaw from CK market to the city centre mall should not be more that 50 INR and the metro is from 10 to 20 INR per person. The area itself is what I thought to be a very quiet part of Calcutta. I missed the fine print that they accept cash only so just keep that in mind. We managed to pay via a bank transfer. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

Please see comments from earlier stay. I would go back to J's nest again but this room despite it's ample size and balconies, would not be the one I would re-book. It is simply a matter of preference but did not take away the enjoyment of the property, the helpfulness of the staff nor the excellent communication.

Joey's Nest is an excellent haven in leafy Salt Lake. Rooms are modern, well decorated, and extremely comfortable. The location is very good too, and the staff were very helpful too. We will definitely be staying again in Joey's Nest and can highly recommend it.

It was a cosy and well decorated place to stay. The host is a lovely person. The surrounding ambience is also very peaceful. If you are on a lookout for a peaceful gateway, this is the perfect place. Looking forward to visiting the place again.

The host Summauli Pyne was extremely caring and sweet. She has such a lovely space where you can have good times. It's a residencial area surrounded by greeneries. Also the caretaker Tapas Da stayed up late so that we can have hasstle free check-in. Home away from home.
