Great hostel for relaxing after a busy day . The host is what hosting is all about . He is very knowledgeable on the area including Sikkim and knows contacts to hire motorcycles . Hot water is from an electric immersion so perfect for a quick hot shower . The wifi during my stay was super fast . The beds are in my opinion are 5 star and the duvets provide ample warmth on cool nights . The price point is excellent, would definitely recommend.

This place is like a heaven for solo travelers and a group of friends There are bunk beds(separate for boys and girls) as well as privet room facilities. Rooms were very clean and everything was up to date E.g they will provide reading lamp near your bed side as well as a phone holder to support your phone while charging. Hot water, electricity and wifi facilities are excellent,(they have wifi at all 3 floors) Location is also very nice Near batasia loop and from galary you can witness the beauty of kanchanganga peak as well as trains of Darjeeling.

I have recently been there for a family vacation and booked tripple room there and here's what I loved about the hotel 1. The view. You get to experience the whole range of Kanchenjuanga from the room and balcony. This hotel is on top of Delo mountain which is the highest peak of Kalimpong. So it has an absolutely mesmerising view. My parents did not want to go for even sightseeing cause they were so happy enjoying the view from room balcony. 2. The hotel manager Mr. Hrittik went an extra mile ensuring our stay a comfortable and pleasant one. He did everything I could asked for. He specially arranged seasonal vegetables for us on the lunch and fish for the dinner cause we asked for it. He helped me arranging a car, paraglide, and what not. He personally checked on everything including food, amenities and all. And the thing which amazed me the most was when we were leaving he himself checked that the luggage’s are all set in the car trunk, we all have sat properly, our legs comfortable and all. 3. The hotel is comparatively new. So we found the room and toilet very neat and clean. Amenities were all provided well. Tea and coffees sachets were kept double than the guests. 4. The full room is covered by a thick carpet which was clean and made the floor extremely comfortable. The pillows and blankets were almost new. So the room felt very refreshing. 5. I was also surprised to see the headboard of the bed. Which is wooden and made in a subtle way and all the sharp edges of the room furniture were slightly rounded on the corners. So you won’t have to worry about bumping your feet or knees on anywhere. I personally loved these small tiny details of this place. 6. Washroom is spacious. 7. The hotel has its own parking so I did not have to worry about getting down from the car with luggages on the road or vice versa. 8. The breakfast was amazing. We had bread butter eggs and seasonal fruits. Food tasted really good.

It's a really beautiful home, really cosy, clean, comfortable with a family feel, (and cute dogs). It's a relaxing place to stay away from the centre of Darjeeling which is busier and more hectic. Everyone played uno and jenga in the evenings and the food was also great.

All hostels in Darjeeling

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 owners were helpful and humble. Also like to mention the Manager Mr. Vishal was guiding us every moment throughout the stay like travel and sightseeing. Cleaning was up-to-date. Best Hostel I have ever visited. Surely one should visit Hidden Monkey 🐒 whenever planning for Darjeeling.

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.

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.
