Pahari Soul

A place which provides you luxuries and comforts of a hotel, but the personal touch and local flavors of a homestay is what we offer at Pahari Soul. Located a mere 4 kilometers away from the main Darjeeling town, Pahari Soul offers the peace and solitude that you want on your vacation to these beautiful hills. The homestay is easily accessible since it is on the main hill cart road and is just 2 minutes away from one of the tourist attraction in Darjeeling, the Dali monastery.

Fantastic experience

Reviewed By Unassyed

Only 10 minutes travel distance from Darjeeling mall and just beside the 'Dali' taxi stand, Pahari Soul is a homestay where anyone will find the beauty of the hill queen Darjeeling to the fullest. The rooms are spacious, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Clean toilet, 24x7 running hot water, nice service, home cooked food and a grand view of Mount Kanchenjunga. Unfortunately throughout my stay the weather was very cloudy. Still it worth every bit of my expenses.

Suite room @ 9k per night at fifth floor with no lift facility with no meals included. No geyser or hot water in room. Employees made to work 24/7. Not worth to spend that much money per night. You can get very good hotel at that rate. Overated and overpriced. Not worth more than 2k per night.

Worst staying experience in this hotel

Reviewed By souravb2021

I had experienced very badly while staying in this hotel this december.The rooms are very shabby. There is no air circulation. Very cold and damp. No WiFi,no hot water for drinking and bath. They literally took advantage of the situation I was in and charged for room heater extra although the heater is not properly working. I would not recommend this hotel at all to any visitor to Darjeeling. I had a very bad experience staying here. The bathroom is not 0roperly cleared,no sanitization done ,the tap water supply is not sufficient also. The behaviour of staff is very bad and when I asked for room heater then they suggested for dinking alcohol.They are illetarate and has no manner how to behave with tourist.

This homestay is fantastic. I stay here with my parents. This homestay is owned by Mr. Rinchen Ghising and his family. Rinchen Bhai is a very humble person, and he will help you with any type of problem. I am very thankful to Rinchen Bhai for his kind help and his great hospitality. I traveled to many places and stay multiple homestays, but I must say that the hospitality of Tharbaling homestay is aswam. The rooms and washrooms are too good. You can enjoy a fantastic forest view from the Balcony. Their food quality is very good. If you love birding you can find many birds here in the backside forest. I continued my birding there for 1.30 hr and found the following species. Rufous Turtle Dove, Green-backed Tit, Ashy-throated Warbler, Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush, Rufous Sibia, Red-billed Leiothrix, Common Rosefinch, Black-throated Tit. I heard the multiple calls of Large Hawk-Cuckoo but can't manage the photograph. If you are traveling by self car or bike , kindly contact with Rinchen Bhai for arrange parking. You can find road side parking in this place. I will recommend this place for any type of trip.

Stay was not very impressive as location was congested, didn't felt safe and reception was congested. Even the restaurant was not inviting. The only thing kept up going was friendly staff already to support and helping manager who assisted in planning our trip.

Goomtee Tea Garden Retreat

The Goomtee Tea Garden Retreat is located inside one of Darjeeling's most serene tea gardens and offers an atmosphere of peace, seclusion and natural beauty. It is not a spa or a fancy hotel but a simple and authentic place to enjoy the soothing ambience and glorious tea. Excellent international vegetarian cuisine (including egg items) and minimalism are on offer here. The silence and serenity may not be for everyone but it is certainly for those who are looking for a peaceful and lazy retreat away from all the hustle-bustle of urban life. If one is looking for quaint and old-style rooms and a kind of a throwback to another time (along with the fresh teas at the tea factory) Goomtee is an amazing place to take it all in. The brilliant flower garden, the reading room with its unique collection of books on a variety of subjects, the long hikes, the waterfalls and the drives to scenic spots all come together to create an experience as enjoyable as Goomtee's teas. Goomtee is special because it doesn't try to be what it isn't; it is an old property - very clean, simple and unique, with an emphasis on nature, its teas, service, food and character rather than modern luxury which can be found in every semi-urban location.

Tea heaven

We stayed 3 nights at Goomtee, in the Director’s Bungalow. We had a wonderful time. It is obviously a very old property and you have to make allowances for its antiquity but then that’s part of its charm. The staff were lovely and the food great. The tea is amazing.

Basic Hotel with breathtaking views

Reviewed By abhigngly

This is my first time stay in Hotel Dolphin and I must stay I am pretty pleased. The booking process was pretty smooth. I did book from the hotel website after getting a good deal including breakfast. Location of the property is a plus. Situating next to Raj Bhawan and windows are facing towards the majestic Kanchenjunga. If the weather god is favorable then you can see the peaks from your bed! Since it is a bit far from the Chowrasta, the quiet and peace is very enjoyable. Another advantage of the hotel is the staff behavior. They are always eager to help. With special request they do provide customized food especially for children. Areas of improvement: 1. No Tea/Coffee maker in the room. 2. No Wifi network in the hotel 3. Mobile network is very poor in the rooms. Overall the hotel is recommended.
