Shikher Guest House - Hotel in Kalimpong - Kalimpong, India

It feels like you're living as a house guest of a well-heeled local. And you actually are. Dhiraj Gurung has a well maintained sprawling property where he also lives with family in one part of the house. The rooms at the back, especially room 28 upwards have very good views of the Kanchanzangha range. On a clear day, you can sit out at the balcony and look out forever. The service is very efficient, the food is excellent and reasonably priced. They make a killer cappuccino. On my first evening, I needed to go to town, but I had no vehicle. No cab could be arranged either. Dhiraj dropped us off and picked us up again after dinner, in an hour andahalf. Completely gratis. Such hosts are difficult to find. Five stars on all counts!!

If you want to be a loof from everything , good place to be. A simple place where i was little upset because of the cleanliness and the service which is very slow. Even they are not ready to serve indian breakfast at 8am in the morning.Rest the food is good. Place is little far from the city centre and on a little heights

We stayed 2 days..rooms are spacious..good view..from every room. The owner of this guest house is very polite young and gentlemen... Foods are little expensive.. There is a main problem is transportation..because the guest house is situated in high altitude ..main market is 2 to 3 km away and roads are very slanting...if you want to go to the market then you have to book a cab...and it will take 300+ 300 rs for up and down...

We could experience the amazing view of Kanchenjunga range from our bedroom. The breakfast was great. The staffs are very helpful. The room and the balcony were clean and spacious. The garden is too good to enjoy in a sunny morning. The location is on a hill and a bit far from the main market area of Kalimpong; they happily arranged taxis for us whenever required. The only improvement; a tea/coffee making facility in the room would have been great; otherwise the electric kettle has a very limited use.

Overall, I give it a 3.5 out of 5. This property is located away from the hustle and bustle of the market. Overall, it is a very quiet and peaceful location. The view from the rooms was also fantastic. It is a warm and welcoming atmosphere with the owner (Mr. Thiraj) and his beautiful family caring for their guests. Breakfast is appetizing. Good wifi speed. Mr Bhushan, the manager, is the only drawback, with his misguided attitude. He ruined our only sight-seeing day by hooking us up with a rude and uninterested cab driver. Who charged us higher prices and showed no interest in taking us to places. And later pretended that he didn't do a thing.

Mr. Bhushan the manager was really helpful and reliable. He even arranged a car for us for pickup and drop to Siliguri. The food was like home, and the rooms are spacious and clean.

The location is a bit on the edge of main city but the house is very beautiful. Very serene and mesmerizing views of the mountains from the deluxe room balconies. A garden with a gazebo sort of place where you can sit and enjoy the outdoor. A swing to swing away all your stress. Staff is very friendly and helpful too. A good place to stay if you want a chill place away from city congestion. The food was pretty good too. Do visit the monastery which is 5 mins walk from the house.

We had recently visited Kalimpong and stayed in this property .. the property is very beautifull and mesmerising. The food and staffs behaviour was very polite and good . The only thing I felt was the cost of thalis were on higher side and should be kept a little more pocket friendly. Also we were informed about a Bonfire which we did a night before leaving that was quite pricey.. Bonfire set up costs us 1000 INR then we took a Chicken Barbeque that cost us 1500 INR also that night owner was a bit rude to us as we were around the set up till 9.45 pm ; which we did'nt feel good about. Otherwise overall it was a good experience.
