Well preserved old furniture gives the lovingly cleaned rooms at Broadway Hotel a vaguely 1950s feel, veering unintentionally towards the retro-trendy.

In an office building with central AC and a lift, CKT furniture's has some slight 50s-style quirks and the water is usually hot. A pleasantly calm choice despite slightly rucked carpets.

In Kolkata's answer to New York's Flatiron Building, the Embassy has sad, sick-green corridors leading to rather better rooms. Choose the well-maintained, un-renovated ones with an old-yet-appeal…

Beside the colourful Lakshmi Narayan temple, the Hotel Gardenia's larger executive rooms are reasonable value and have a low-key sense of modernist style.

Hotel Gulshan Palace has decent value despite rather offish management. Deluxe rooms have two-tone wooden furniture and pleasant curtains.

Vast 1960s concrete hotel totally remodelled with parquet floors and sumptuous mattresses. The swimming pool could be cleaner. North-facing rooms are somewhat noisy.

This reworked old cinema has 40 quiet, comically over-ornate, marble-floored rooms, but many are small - and opening the lift doors requires a crowbar!

Another large, once-grand colonial mansion that was recently repainted but not remodelled. Huge, creaky rooms have attached basic bathrooms. OK value.
