“In my opinion, this place stands out for its prime location, a stone's throw from the Siliguri taxi stand and a quick ride to MG Marg. The rooftop views are a surprising perk given the city setting, and the host seems genuinely dedicated to guest comfort, if I had to stay in Gangtok on a budget, I would book here.”
