Trippers hostel, hotel in Darjeeling

Situated in Darjeeling, 7.3 km from Tiger Hill, Trippers hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The boys working there were incredible, they spoke little English but did all they could to assist you and were up and about working from early morning to late at night. They offer well priced scooty drop-off and pick-ups into/from town. The dorm was spacious and the duvet was cosy. The bathroom was cleaned daily. The setting was beautiful and I met some lovely other travellers who made it feel like home from home. The food made on-site was really tasty and well priced. Hair dryer and yoga mat were provided quickly upon request. I was skeptical on arrival given some of the points below but I throughly enjoyed my stay and made some lovey memories.

The Bunkyard Hostel, hotel in Darjeeling

Located in Darjeeling, 18 km from Tiger Hill, The Bunkyard Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The location of the hotel is very below from the mall road and tough to find out... You have to afford hard to climb up to reach the mall road and it took almost 30 minutes hiking... Tougher if you have heavy baggage... But the owner of the property is very 'my dear' type. No geaser in the bathroom, but have a big buthtub

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The owners were helpful and humble. Also like to mention the Manager Mr. Vishal was guiding us every moment throughout the stay like travel and sightseeing. Cleaning was up-to-date. Best Hostel I have ever visited. Surely one should visit Hidden Monkey 🐒 whenever planning for Darjeeling.

    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.

    Good for a solo traveller or groups. Felt safe and location was also on the main road. Walkable distance to DHR or mall road. Was a pleasant and peaceful stay. View was perfect to have a sight of. Rooms and bathrooms were clean as one should expect in a basic 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.
