We went to Darjeeling for a 3 day stay, and chose this hotel after extensive searching and sifting through loads of reviews. We weren't disappointed. It is a good place to stay, with friendly staff, comfy & clean beds, space enough for 4 people (in the standard room) and a Water Heater for every room which delivers a good amount... More

Very nice place, very nice staff. A bit on the pricey side but there is hot water, a comfy bed and the rooms are very nice. It is wonderful to watch some TV and drink some warm tea on a cold night. Darjeeling "closes down" around 9pm so when we were out late with some friends (12:30pm) we came back... More

We visited Darjeeling in first week of January 2013 and stayed at Snow Lion homestay (opposite Bethany school on Gandhi Road) for 4 days. We had booked a mountain-view room that was on 2nd floor. It was a well-furnished room. Bed tea and breakfast is complimentary but you will get either bread toast-egg or aloo paratha for breakfast. Mr. Gailey... More

The location is conveniently distanced from the famous mall, Keventer's, Glenary's, Nathmull's.....and all the nice old stuffs that Darjeeling cherishes. The room had great view of Mt. Kanchenjungha. The room was nice. Room service, housekeeping was pretty good. The hotel staff was... More

I stayed here for about three nights towards the end of November. I chose this place based on Tripadvisor reviews and have absolutely no regrets. Centrally located, 10-15 minute walk from station / Gangtok taxi stand if you want to avoid being fleeced by the local taxis. While we were there there were frequent power outages, however, the hotel staff... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
In the heart of Darjeeling, close to the Mall's shopping and entertainment, is "Snowlion Homestay." The hotel is owned & managed by a Tibetan family. Located on Gandhi Road, which is a continuation of the Mall Road, it provides an ideal base for the many local tourist attractions, whilst being in a central, upmarket area of the town. All our rooms have en suite (attached) bathroom with showers, hot & cold running water (24hrs), W.C, in-house telephone and remote control television with Cable TV (37 channels including BBC, Star TV, Zee, ESPN etc). We provide room heaters and hot water bottles at no additional cost during the winter season. WI-FI is freely accessible in the lounge. We would be happy to arrange for a taxi to collect you at BGD airport or NJP station. We have pick-up from BGD airport or NJP station and travel to Darjeeling (one way). If you choose to use us to be dropped back to the Airport or Station at the end of your stay, we will arrange it. The drive up to Darjeeling is 3hrs and is in any event very scenic. Often tourists choose to use a slightly longer (and even more scenic) route via Mirik Lake. This latter route is approximately 4 hrs. ... more   less
