The Maureen

The Maureen is a mid-range hotel at 23/22 Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue on VIP Road in north Kolkata, West Bengal, in the airport corridor near Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. The location suits travellers with early or late flights, short layovers or business in the Dum Dum, Baguiati and Salt Lake areas, with the airport usually reachable in about 10 to 25 minutes by road depending on traffic. Central Kolkata sights such as Park Street and the Victoria Memorial are a longer drive south, typically 45 to 75 minutes, so the hotel works best as a transit or business base rather than a sightseeing hub. The property is a modern, functional hotel, with straightforward design focused on comfort and practicality rather than heritage character. Accommodation includes Standard, Deluxe and Executive rooms and suites. Listed amenities are wifi, a restaurant, a fitness center, a concierge, a 24-hour front desk, room service and airport transfers. Dining is based on an on-site restaurant serving Indian and continental dishes, with room service for late arrivals, and breakfast is usually the main meal for guests departing early. The fitness center offers basic equipment. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, with a 24-hour front desk that suits irregular arrival times and a concierge able to arrange cabs. Rates are low for the area, at about INR 3,500 to 6,500 per night, which makes the hotel a good value for budget-conscious business travellers and families passing through. VIP Road traffic can be heavy at rush hours, and visitors should allow extra time when heading into the city. The surrounding area has shops, eateries and other hotels, but it is not a tourist district, so evening options are mostly practical rather than scenic.
