Backpackers Abode - Backpacker Hostel in Gangtok - East District, India

First things first, the location of the place is perfect, right in the middle of the MG Marg. Hence the location makes all places of need accessible within 5-10 of walking distance. The morning view of the Kanchenjunga peak on a cloudless day adds to the charm. The service and cleanliness was up to the mark. Biswajeet bhai is always up for any type of help you will be needing in the stay or for your tour in Gangtok. Overall a nice, affordable, accessible, place to stay.

Location is right on the MG Marg so one can explore the market easily in the evening. Nice and clean dorm rooms with great views of the mountains. The Namnang view point, Do Drul Chorten and Ropeway are at a walking distance within 2km. There is a common area where friends/people can gather and interact.

A decent hostel for solo budget travellers. Centrally located on MG Marg. The dormitory beds are comfortable & the rooms are clean. No one was available in the reception during my stay. Had to communicate with the owner directly via phone for any requirement. Located on the top floor with no elevator. Recommended.

The location is just above the M G Marg road. The host Biswsjit is a super friendly human with a great smile. The beds are super comfortable and clean. It's a perfect fit for a solo or group bagpacker. There is a common kitchen, where you can cool your meals to cost cutting your prices. I will highly recommend this place to ebay one.

Amazing place to stay especially for bachelors at M.G marg. A different kind of experience. The owner is supportive, beds are cozy, clean washrooms, superfast wifi and decent common space. I really liked the kitchen provided that helped me to sort my fooding. Stayed here for 7 days and I definitely recommend this.

very horrible in matter of cleanliness and basic facilities like water for drinking or bathing and power for charging mobiles or laptops. dustbins are cleaned like in 3-4 days, i literally asked them to clean off dustbins and banana peels lying on ground in room as dustbin was overfilled. just because it is located at MG road doesn't justifies this place to be good. Its just a place having roof and some assistance to sleep overnight in emergency.

If there was a zero rating this hostel deserves it. The manager is a good for nothing fellow! No water in the morning. There is a kitchen but won't be allowed to use it. The guy always bugs you with something. Overall please don't ever come here !

It seemed like this place could be a great place, but the manager there was the worst. He just has fun in there, and the property is a mess because of it. It seems there was a community kitchen before, now the manager has shut it off and charges people outrageously. He and his friends comes and boozes in the common room with loud music, messing up everyone else's night. When the drinking water can had finished and we complained, he somehow produced 1/3rd of a can of boiling hot water: most likely just the tap water from the washroom, heated using the toilet geaser.
