    The host, Adarsh is very cooperative and friendly. He came to pick us up as we were new to the place, also came to see us off. It was a very heartwarming gesture. The location was very convenient, market is nearby. Every other facilities provided by the property was satisfactory. It is safe for the female traveller also. Thank you.

    It's a little chilly during the colder nights but I got a second blanket and there's a kettle for making hot water and tea.

    It has a great vibe, beautiful views, tasty tea, and amazing people! Vishal especially took very good care of everyone. The room is spacious and has a cosy feel thanks to the bookshelf and "green room" . I loved hearing the prayer calls from the nearby mosque, too. I'll stay there again on my next visit for sure!

    Hidden Monkey is a hidden gem in the bustling town of Darjeeling ... This is my first stay in Darjeeling and it was quite a jackpot, finding the perfect stay in Hidden Monkey in the town ... Blessed with a perfect view of the hills and hill plantations, I recommend Hidden Monkey to anyone visiting the hill station to relax and chill ... 5 ⭐ to Hidden Monkey ...

    The steep path to the hostel would have been a challenge without the help of the owner.

    Very helpful owner accompanied me to and from the property and carried my bag. I had a whole dormitory to myself. Very comfortable bed. There might be a lovely view in better weather but we were in a cloud and couldn’t see anything.

    The climb upwards the steep stairs. Pack light n shop less n bring backpack rather than a suitcase.

    Friendly host , you'll get the best pahado wali maggie n tea anytime, the panaromic mountain view from the terrace during the dawn n sunset is amazing. N ofcourse meeting fellow like minded backpackers to make impromptu itineraries to nearby tourist spots or a breakfast rendezvous n midnight company during a guitar session around campfire. Also feisty Lily (master cat) will also allure with its enigmatic persona.

    However, one downside is the stairs—if you have heavy luggage, be prepared, as there are a few steps and no access for autos or cabs. Otherwise, it's a great spot to stay!

    I recently stayed at a hostel in Darjeeling and had a great experience overall. The owner and manager, Ripit, were extremely helpful throughout my stay, providing valuable local tips and assistance. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Darjeeling Railway Station.

    The street where the hostel is does not appear in google maps, so getting to the hostel is a bit difficult

    Good vibe, good location, the staff was super friendly and professional, Ripon helped me a lot with all my queries, also with treks. Will come back for sure!

    Room was good but cold, and the telecom signal was weak at our alternate stay near the Batasia Loop. Hot water and a basin tap would be much needed. The room was a bit small for six – a little cramped!

    the owner was quite helpful and provided alternate stay option near batasia loop with discount nice and cozy common room far from mg road but near batasia loop so can see toy train multiple times a day

    The whole abode was really comfortable and had a cozy feeling which was an effect of the behaviour of Mr Bishal Gurung and the housekeeping didi. The place was clean and hygienic and felt much better than a hotel room . This was my first time staying at a hostel and I had fun .

    It was not less than a home in different city. All the facilities were provided by their staff and management. Their behaviour was very nice and polite. Will recommend to every one going Darjeeling to book this stay as it just add so many stars to your trip.
