Amazing hostel, super clean, nice hang out space with lovely staff who are really helpful in every way possible. They know so much about the local area and will really make your time in Darjeeling the best it can be. Karma, the owner, is especially helpful, if you're heading to Sikkim after Darjeeling, he has detailed recommendations based off his love for the area, he even went as far to sit down and make me a map of everywhere I should go and how I should get to each place, and phone numbers that might be useful to me along the way. All in all, it was a great and really personable experience, which also seems to draw in lovely customers!!

I had an amazing stay at Hidden Monkey Hostel! The views from the rooftop were breathtaking and offered a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The cleanliness was impeccable - the rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were spotless and well-maintained. But what truly made my stay stand out was the exceptional staff. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome and comfortable. From recommending local attractions to helping with transportation, they were always available to lend a hand. Highly recommend Hidden Monkey Hostel for its stunning views, cleanliness, and outstanding staff! 5/5 stars!

Had an amazing stay at Hills tale hostel.The location is calm, just walkable from bus stand and market and the owners and staffs were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. One of the highlights was the dorm room—it was spacious, well-lit, and the beds were super comfortable, offering a great night's sleep. The room was also kept very clean, and there were lockers for securing valuables. It was a perfect environment for relaxing after a day of exploring. I would definitely recommend Hills tale for anyone looking for a fun, social experience on a budget. I’d happily stay here again.

All hostels in Darjeeling

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.

    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.

    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.
