I stayed at Hotel Acme for seven nights in January, 2025. I paid for the first night, and then for the remaining six on the night before I left. They accept only cash; Rs a night for a ensuite with two single beds--plenty of space for myself alone.
There was only one maintenance issue--the shower drain was slow. There was only one structural issue--there were many light/power switches, and they were confusing. Everything else was sound. Everything was clean, in good order, and new or in good shape. The staff is friendly and efficient. Anytime I had a problem or need, they would attend to it immediately at the front desk, or send someone immediately to the room--always cheerful and determined to solve a problem or help with any need. They called a taxi and two motorcycle rides for me, quickly, and without getting a cut (!)
The free breakfast was slow in coming sometimes, but it was good and there was lots of it. Elevator--quick. Room key--old-style, but adequate. TV--OK, and in 300 languages.
Noisy surroundings--of course, its Kolkata! Good location, with ATMs, vendors, restaurants, within walking distance. There are a few attractions in every direction within 3-400 meters, more within 2 kilometers, and many more within 3-5. While Acme Hotel is not in the heart of the posh Park Street action, that is not a bad thing. That said, while I repeatedly enjoyed long walks to the Indian Museum, the Hooghly, and various markets, etc., they could be tiring and trying.
I have nothing bad to say about Acme, came on it by chance, and am very glad that I did!
