Tag Along 2 0 Hostel Gangtok has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Gangtok. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Beautiful location - for me it was worth it even though it is about a 30 minute walk to the main tourist street. Honestly it is nice being away from the tourist trap main drag even though I was only there for a few days. The road that leads to the hostel has lots of shops, some restaurants and bars, the sister hostel’s travel cafe, and Rachna Bookstore for great books and food. So if you are around for a while its great. The property is set in dense greenery, and does indeed have lots of birdlife. Great common spaces, great balconies, great food for the set dinners (I didn’t have the breakfast or lunch), and the staff is super knowledgeable, especially Saran. They have a deeper and somewhat offbeat lost of things to do in Gangtok, and will organize hikes for groups from the hostel. The standout for me here was the design - an amazing space compared to any other hostel I’ve been to in India. And very clean :)

Addy’s Inn is a fantastic place to stay! Addy was a great help, offering expert assistance and guidance throughout my stay. The breakfasts and all the meals that I had were delicious. The place is super clean and the vibe is relaxed and hospitable. The location is about a 2 km walk from MG Marg (the “busy” hub) in a quiet neighborhood. The view from the balcony, of the Gangtok area and mountain is great. I would most definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
