We had done our booking through OYO. As per location, the hotel is located right behind the Kalimpong bus stand, thus making it easier to communicate to different parts of the town. The hotel was a decent one. We were given a room right beside the hotel reception. But the hotel room does not have any fan or AC either, when it was quite hot outside. The TV was also not working. Moreover, the staff were non cooperative. As soon as we entered the hotel, at around 3 PM, the receptionist was complaining against OYO. This was the first hotel where there was no check-in procedure. We did not have to sign in the hotel registers. At around 5 PM they asked us for the ID cards and promised us to return it by 8 PM. After 8 PM, finding the reception empty, we called him over his mobile a number of times but he picked up only once, to share the WiFi password and to inform us that he will return the cards soon.

Here the locals eat and their food is excellent . I did order food in the hotel and I'll just say it's ok. The momos were delightful but the idlis were cold and hard to the touch. The guy in the reception was very kind and generous. Room service was an issue because nobody was turning up. Nevertheless I had an enjoyable stay and would love to visit...
Read moreNo water facility. If you ask, they will say water will be available in 5 mins as it is getting loaded in tanks. We wasted almost 3 hours of our journey waiting for water to come. Restaurants available but food is too costly. Hotel is on the main road of kalimpong, so you can never get snow hill view from here. Owner does not take the responsibility. If you have problem with noise while sleeping @night, do not go here as this place is surrounded with dogs and they bark there full night. I will never...
