Clean, large en suite rooms with a huge comfy and warm bed. The staff were very helpful and smiley and the free breakfast adds to the honesty feel. The wifi was limited and the hot water was problematic. Darjeeling suffers from frequent power cuts but the home stay has it's own generator and provides hot water by the bucket if... More

Very recently (Mar15-2012), we visited Darjeeling. We booked the room at Snowlion Homestay thru email. Room is not so big, but comfortable for a couple like us. Very few minutes walkable distance from Market, Chowrastha, ATM's and Railway Station. Staff are so friendly and humble. Near to restaurents. Room service is very good. Very humble Room boy (Kewal) provided us... More

Booking this hotel was very easy and they are quick to respond via email which is really useful when organising a trip. Upon arrival we were welcomed at New Jalpaiguri station by our driver who took us on a scenic climb into the hills. Once at Snowlion we were welcomed in and shown to our rooms which were very nice,... More

My husband and I had stayed there for 3 nights and we both enjoyed very much. Location is good, near to the main room and train station. Breakfast area on the 3/F is so cozy and full of cultural decoration. Staff are all very friendly and nice. Highly recommended.

Located at the top of the town a few minutes walk from the main square and market area, Snow Lion Homestay is a very good choice for the budget traveller in Darjeeling. It doesn't look promising as you head up Gandhi road past the stray dogs and open rubbish tip in the street (I still hate that), but it's worth... More

Snow Lion is a cold but cozy place to stay in Darjeeling. They provide space heaters (after a certain date) and many thick blankets but it's still cold in the room. Our room did have a view of the mountains, but it was cloud-covered for one of the days. It's just a short walk to the main shopping area, and... More

The Snowlion Home Stay is an excellent little eight room hotel. The rooms are very clean, large yet cozy with continious hotwater, heaters, TV, free internet and a wonderful free breakfast. There is very good room service and a never ending source of tea, coffee or hot drinking water if you prefer. They are located on the same main road... More
