Fantastic experience......👍👍

We had a good stay here—it’s good value for money in a beautiful location near Batasia Loop. The hosts, Dinesh and his wife, were incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to offer suggestions and assistance. The food was excellent—delicious, home-cooked meals at a very reasonable price. It’s also very easy to get around with shared taxis available right outside the apartment, both to Darjeeling and Siliguri.

I believe we were the first international travelers, so our expectations may be slightly different, but the room could use some work. While it had hot water, toilet paper, plenty of blankets, and the option of a heater, the walls and carpet were a little dirty, and there was a minor leak in the toilet. The mattress was very firm, and it did get very cold at night—the heater was available but cost ₹500 extra, which was high compared to the nightly rate, the highest we have had. We also noticed some mold spores on the walls, so a bit of maintenance would improve the experience. That said, for a budget-friendly stay in India, this is a solid choice. Just keep in mind the minor downsides if you’re an international traveler.
