I consider this an outstanding property, but it comes with some important caveats that a traveler must understand. This reminds me of an old-school Asian backpacker guesthouse, which is exactly what I was looking for. What this means is that the amenities are minimal but that is to be expected especially for the price and it’s true for any backpacker-oriented guesthouse. You will have a wooden bedstand without a boxspring, with a thick pad instead of a mattress, and a few normal thickness blankets. There are no windows (which actually increases the safety of the room), and the room is simple but clean. There is a ceiling fan. There are basic bathroom facilities without hot water, and both and Indian and western style toilet with spray nozzles. The property is extremely close to the railway station, which is a large benefit for someone who likes to keep on the move. The owner will walk over with you and make sure you get the right tickets if you have any concerns. At this point if you’re wondering why I would rate this as a 10 it’s completely because of the host. I don’t believe I’ve ever met someone who is so dedicated to hospitality, and providing the best possible information and service to traveler. Even after leaving, he will stay in contact with you to give you advice and to make sure you stay safe and have a productive and enjoyable travel throughout India. He has taken me around on his scooter to try to arrange ongoing transportation. He will make sure you have a good experience and recommend other fun activities in Siliguri. He is outgoing with a jovial and effervescent attitude. So, as long as one understands that this is a backpacker standard accommodation, and not a boutique hotel, you will get what you expect at an unusually low price, with hospitality that is unparalleled without exaggeration on my part.
