Found this as a basic budget hotel worthy of the price they charge. Don't expect luxury. Since it gets cold towards the evening, you can get a heater for 300 rupees/night. If the morning (~5 am) is clear hotel boasts of view of Kanchenjunga range, we could not see it as the day was foggy. Food in hotel is very... More

Hotel approach road was in a very bad shape. Room get up was hopeless. Hotel is not run by professional staff. No room heater is provided . As per me it is not worth at this price. Food was too much spicy. In my opinion senior citizen should aviod this hotel.

A large place but with few guests when we were there in November. Large (vast actually) dining hall, but the restaurant was not functioning or available when we were there, so we ate at a nice small restaurant at the Tibetan hotel close by (“The Big Chill” restaurant). Our room was icy cold and uncomfortable (in mid-November), but the view... More

Value for money: in short..... I visited Pelling with family in May, 2012. Beautiful breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga right from the bed itself, a big enough balcony to sit, relax and enjoy the view, exceptional loaction (don't think that this direct view to the Kanchenjunga could be obstructed by construction even in future), exceptionally friendly staff, centralized location, and...

One of the best hotels to stay with families/ single/ groups. The hotel is in the center of the town and close to tourist office and other shops. Situated in height, hence the outside views are even more wonderful. The best part of this hotel is the good view of the beautiful Kanchanjunga Mountains. All the rooms have nice balconies... More
