Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best stay experience one could ever get in Darjeeling! Everything was so good about this place, would love to go back again. The rooms are so clean and beds are super cozy. Also the manager Bishal is an amazing host and an added gem to this property. The best hostel for solo travelers without any doubt.

    it was a nice female dorm , equivalent to any other hostels in market and 1/4th the price. So i would say it is providing more value than we are paying for. The rooms are spacious and toilets are clean and anyways you can work with staff to get any facility by paying a little bit tips. Nice for people who are looking for a comfy stay in a backpackers hostel.

    Good for a solo traveller or groups. Felt safe and location was also on the main road. Walkable distance to DHR or mall road. Was a pleasant and peaceful stay. View was perfect to have a sight of. Rooms and bathrooms were clean as one should expect in a basic hostel.

    Had a great experience. Neat and clean rooms with exceptional and friendly staffs and owner. The location is a bit far from the mall road but trust me, it's worth it. I only had one dinner here, it was delicious. Ultimately the best hostel stay I've ever stayed in.

    Initially it's a bit confusing to reach to the hostel. However, it's actually in a great location close to the happening places of Darjeeling. The room was clean, but too small and felt a little expensive to the quoted price. The cafe on the first floor serves good food and has great views of the Sleeping buddha. Highly recommend this place for all backpackers.

    It's a place where you feel like home, the people who are running the hostel, Benu, Tamil, Rojer and Roshan are very welcoming and warm, they are also well informed about the locality and tourists spots . It's place where a backpacker who is on a budget can really look forward to. The facilities that are provided are worth the money. The view from the terrace is another bonus.
