Budget Hotel: Darjeeling is a place to fit everybody’s bill. I would recommend a Tibetan Hotel Dekeling at a very convenient location, close to every facility and Mall too, But they don’t have room service and flooding is available in below the restaurant like Lunar and Dekeling. Super Delux rooms don’t have any view of Darjeeling. Deluxe rooms are on the roadside, having Darjeeling view, but little noisy.
