Sudder Street

Sudder Street runs off Chowringhee Road at the Indian Museum. It's the tourist and budget-hotel center of Calcutta. Because Sudder is a tourist street, it has many more beggars than the rest of Calcutta. Some beggars are professionals, others are just poor kids. It's best not to give money when on your way to or from your hotel because you'll be remembered and you won't be able to come or go in peace again. If you want to give, don't do it too near your hotel.
Kolkata offers a number of cheap hotels for the budget traveler. Kolkata Cheap Hotels cater both to the average back-packer tourist and also to the businessman who closely monitors his (or her) hard earned money.

For the backpacker, Kolkata Cheap Hotels provide more bangs for the buck.

Kolkata Cheap Hotels offer only basic accommodation- the hotel room has only a bed, a cupboard and a small en-suite bathroom or washstand.

There can even be a television set in the rooms. Phone calls-local, national and international can be accessed from the lobby.
