Deki Lodge

Deki Lodge used to be a favorite haunt for foreign travelers back when Kalimpong was still a sleepy hill-town. Today, it's not the most preferred place of accommodation due to its distance from the city center. However, it is still worth the walk up the hill. It's location on the 10th Mile Road places you on the routes to Dello, Tharpa Choling Monastery, and Sakhya Monastery, to name a few. Kamaal, the person in-charge of Deki Lodge, is a friendly gentleman of few words. However, he is more than willing to share his local knowledge when asked. I did not have any food or drink at the lodge. So I can't comment on it. By way of amenities, the room had a small-screen TV, an attached bathroom with a working geyser. I would also mention a very well-kept garden inside the premises. In terms of cleanliness, it is as clean as an old bungalow-turned-homestay can get - don't expect the tidy sparkle of a hotel. Conclusion: A quiet and friendly lodge away from the bustle of the town - I highly recommend it for budget travelers who don't mind walking... and having dogs in the house.

bathroom facility is below average. hot water was available only once in 30 -45 mins which is time required for water to get heated for each person. toilet didn't have that water gun or alternative, no water for flush which was later corrected. I stayed in super deluxe room. room was smaller than I expected. however staff was cordial n supportive. location is good. awesome view from balcony.

It was the worst experience ever with electricity out for long hours, no room service plus they charged us with our breakfast which they informed was complementary. Rooms doesn't have any views, TV and phone hardly works. All over a very disappointing experience.

very good very very good hotel for staying. Manager Kamal babu is a gentleman. The price of the hotel I stayed is so lower than the actual price of hotel room. Location is not proper on market but 1-2 km from bazar but doesn't matter for quality of hotel.
