Snow Lion Homestay

I booked at Snowlion for a family weekend visit to Darjeeling and we had enjoyed our stay thoroughly.  Breakfast was served at their family dining room on the floor above our rooms. Food was tasty & wholesome and served with a smile by the friendly staff. Location is very near to Chowrasta and accessible by vehicle. Rooms are spic and tastefully done up with attached bathroom. Definitely value for money..Good wifi connection too. They have 2 family pets and both are so friendly and lovable.

Snowlion Homestay is a gem of a place on Gandhi road mananged by a  lovely Tibetan family. The room is spacious & cosy with good amenities & excellent wifi. View of the mountain ranges and hills from their terrace is breathtaking! The room we booked had a good view too. They have a travel desk at the reception and we booked a local points tour and Pravin was excellent with his driving and knowledge of the important landmarks around. The Mall road is within walking distance and many eateries are close-by. Highly reccommended!

It was a very pleasant experience we had at your homestay. Nice courteous behaviour of all the staff. Clean and airy rooms. Very prompt response to all service requests.
A special mention must be made about your Suraj . He was like our Man Friday. Always just a phone call away. Very pleasant and courteous behaviour... promptly solving every problem.
He is another reason which made our stay at Snowlion homestay so incredibly good 

This is a gem of a hotel. The rooms are very homely, well appointed and spacious. The bedding is nice and clean and fresh smelling, my wife's no 1 priority! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. You are made to feel like one of the family. Especially when you eat upstairs and the family fuss over you, making sure that you are well fed at breakfast. The hotel is on Ghandi Rd, just a 5 minute stroll from the business of Chowrstra, the main shopping area. There you can guy all your holiday goodies and then have a cup or two of the local tea at Golden Tips tea rooms. A personal favorite place to sit and unwind after a busy day. We have stayed at Snowlion for three consecutive visits and plan to do so again. 

Had an awesome trip. The room was awesome. Big room with English style gigantic window. Extremely cozy beds, with heater and geiser in thw bathroom. Cupboard are available, along with drawers. Mr. Gailly is an awesome human being, to whom we were able to reach our whenever we needed anything. His family members, including the two little twin girls, who are extremely sweet and generous, and Simba (the German Shepherd), were extremely humble and geneous. Our room had a terrace from which one can witness magic in the form of the great snowclad Kanchenjunga.

The staff and service is excellent. The staffs are very cordial and really do help alot... The owner takes of his guest like his own family. Overall a very friendly and cozy atmosphere.

The staff helped us with sight seeing and vehicle bookings. Since we were traveling with our elderly parents, the staff took good care for making our stay more comfortable.

It's a excellent hotel rather than a Homestay. Staffs are very Co-operative. Gailly is a nice person.Rooms are excellent. Try to book 202 or else you may book 201.Its very near to Mal, 5-7 minutes walking distance. Moreover the locality is good.

I had stayed in this homestay as a solo traveller. This place is not only secure for women but the staff is also very friendly and patient. The mountain view from the roof top is mind blowing. The owner Mr Gailley is a warm and cordial person, helping you in every possible way. Will surely stay there whenever I visit Darjeeling.

Snowlion homestay is the best place to view Kanchenjunga from room/rooftop terrace with excellent room and room service as the added bonus.
Breakfast is good, the reception and breakfast room is nicely decorated presenting the local culture with various paintings. The homestay has generator and has 24hours hot water in washroom geyser. Even you will get hot water tap in basin also.
The location is excellent, just 5mins walk from mall road. 
The best part was when we were leaving the homestay they honoured us with 'Uttoriyo' as their tradition and that too starting from elder person to younger. They wished us for our good luck and happy journey. This gesture really touched us.
I will definitely stay in this homestay when I go to Darjeeling again and will recommend to everyone. 

We were a family of 14 that visited Darjeeling to celebrate Christmas, and have returned with truck loads of memories associated with the place and most importantly, our homestay, Snow Lion. Welcomed with warm and smiling faces all through our 4 day stay, the pleasant and ever helpful family in charge was what made our experience all the more memorable. Clean rooms, good food, excellent service and a beautifully decorated hotel made us feel like we had found home away from home. Even though the mercury dipped way below our tolerance, the warm atmosphere of the hotel always made up for it. Special shoutout to Mr Gailly who was most cooperative in constantly updating our room bookings as our number of heads kept increasing, and on the whole, being the perfect host. 

I would highly recommend Snow Lion Homestay to anyone who wishes to enjoy a homely atmosphere owned by this lovely family. We of course, would definitely visit them again. 

Thank you once again to our Snow Lion family. 
Tashi Delek! :)

Wonderful stay at the Snowlion

Snowlion is the best!

Wonderful experience of staying at Snowlion homestay 

A great stay in Darjeeling

DARJEELING TOUR

A wonderful home like stay

I stayed with my family at the attic room of the hotel from 22nd April to 25th April. I booked the room after seeing the review at TripAdvisor & truly it was worth it. The attic room was a four bedded room with one king size bed & two single size bed. The room was sanitized & was neat & clean. The room opens up to the terrace from where you can see the mighty Kanchanjunga if you are lucky. 

Pros:
1. The room was sanitized
2. The room was neat & clean
3. The size of the room was quite big
4. There was no water supply issue & was available 24*7
5. The room opens up to the terrace from where you can view Darjeeling & the mighty kanchanjunga
6. The owner P. T. Gailey was a wonderful person. He is a special mention here. He did not say no to me on anything & always helped me when I was in need. The hospitality shown by him is truly to be remembered. 
7. They have 2 cabs which they provide to tourists for transfer & sight-seeing. So the cab issue will also be sorted out. 
8. There was one driver named Dawa. He is a nice person. Always ask for him if you by chance need cab for transfer or sightseeing. He is a hidden gem. The courtsey shown by him is really to be learnt. His patience, behaviour & attitude is really good. He was never in a hurry to show & drop us to the hotel. He took special care of my mother as my mother has knee problem. 
9. The hotel had wifi router on all the floors so the internet speed was quite high. 
10. The room service was prompt
11. There was geyser in the washroom so hot water was available 24*7

Cons:
1. The hotel did not had lift so had to climb up the stairs to 5th floor to reach the attic room.
2. The hotel did not had lunch & dinner option. It had only tea or coffee & limited breakfast option so for food you have to go outside or else the hotel will bring the food from outside on demand.
