Hideout Backpackers Hostel

Location is very difficult to reach, no proper road reaching the property. No hot water availability for shower despite calling the reception multiple times. The staff does not pickup their phone despite multiple calls. Horrible experience overall. They have a bunch of inconvenient rules which does not suit a hostel atmosphere, such as the entry & exit time. A backpacking hostel is supposed to be flexible and convenient, but this is neither.

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.
