Located in Darjeeling, Hideout Backpackers Hostel features free WiFi.

A continental breakfast is served every morning at the property.

According to Booking.com, Hideout is one of the top stays for solo backpackers and since I'm going on a solo trip, I immediately booked 2 nights and it turned out to be a good choice. It's very close to the Mall Road/ Chowrasta so most of the shopping stores, famous restaurants are just few meters walk. But make sure to prepare your lungs and legs because you'll be mostly walking uphill and downhill. If you're not used to high altitude, better acclimatize yourself first, else, if you exhaust yourself, you'd be grasping for air most of the time. The landmarks you could take note of to easily find the hostel are the big TV satellite and Tom and Jerry Cafe. The name suits it very well because you won't see it from the main road so once you reach Campbell Cottage, you just have to walk towards the road on your right and look for the sign - Hideout. From the outside, it looks very humble. It has a homey feeling, like a place where you can hangout with friends and chill. Most people book a bed in their dormitory but I booked a private room. My room has a comfortable bed with soft linen and pillows, table and couch and a private bathroom. It could fit 3 people. You won't be needing any AC but if you're not used to the cold weather, rent a heater for INR 300 a day and it'll warm even your ex's coldest heart. The hostel has its own cafe and it's open from 8am to 8pm daily. They have huge selection of food and drinks so after a long day out sight seeing, you can grab a bite here, rest and enjoy the warm and cozy ambiance. I ordered their honey glazed chicken, caffe latte, peach juice and wai wai ramen. If you can't tolerate spicy food, make sure to ask first because the food can get very spicy. If you only packed light and you need to wash clothes, better give it to the staff, there's a pricelist listed in the room for each type of clothing. You can give it any time of the day and you get it the next morning.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
