Budget Hotels

Hi Parthada, Please provide some budget hotel options in the accommodation section of the event page, if possible, because some students from outside Bengal are contacting, who were enquiring about budget affordable hotels. Thanks. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 17:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Bodhisattwa, The second section that provides the "Some more hotels" can be a place to look for. Besides, to me in Kolkata approx. Rs.900/head is reasonable. If you are in the same view then you can check, Waylink Guest House & Banquet, Deepalay Guesthouse or Harry Inn can be a choice. Moreover, if one can get a reasonable reservation in Sahajog International, Mandira Guest House or Ritesh Evergreen Inn then there will be no commuting cost as they are just besides J.U. - Pasaban (talk) 08:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
