Lytton Hotel

Lytton Hotel is a mid-range hotel at 14 and 14/1 Sudder Street in central Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Sudder Street is the city's best-known traveller quarter, a short lane near New Market and the Indian Museum that has hosted budget hotels, guesthouses and small cafes for decades and is widely associated with backpackers and long-stay visitors. The Lytton is among the larger, more established hotels on the street and is generally positioned a step above the budget guesthouses, with a reputation as a comfortable and well-run option. The Esplanade and Park Street metro stations are both within walking distance, and the Maidan, the Victoria Memorial and St. Paul's Cathedral are a short taxi ride away. The airport is roughly 45 to 75 minutes away by road depending on traffic. Room categories include Standard, Deluxe and Executive rooms and a Suite, with nightly rates listed at roughly INR 3,000 to 6,000, which is modest for a central location. Amenities include Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a fitness centre, a concierge, a 24-hour front desk, room service and airport transfers. The restaurant offers Indian and continental dishes, and breakfast is usually included in some rates, though visitors should confirm at booking. No pool or spa is listed. Service is informal and used to international travellers, so staff can typically assist with train tickets, taxis, day tours and onward travel planning, which is a major convenience for those visiting West Bengal and nearby states. The surrounding streets are busy and lively, with small restaurants, street food stalls, bookshops and shops selling souvenirs, and they can be noisy during the day and evening. The hotel suits independent travellers, solo visitors and families who want a central, affordable base and are comfortable with a bustling, traditional urban environment.
