Clean , hygienic, comfortable homestay. The food was awesome. The perfect example of homestay. If the weather was clear we could have seen the mountains.

Our stay at this homestay was truly exceptional. The property itself is beautifully maintained, offering both comfort and elegance. The service was outstanding — every detail was handled with care, making us feel valued throughout our visit. The owner’s dedication is clearly reflected in the atmosphere and hospitality, and the staff deserve special praise for their professionalism, kindness, and genuine smiles. Together, they created an experience that felt less like a stay and more like being welcomed into a family. Highly recommended...!!! Thank you Vivek Pradhan Ji, Mrs Pradhan and whole Staff.

We stayed at Shree Niwas Homestay for 4 days and it was very memorable one.Our room had a spectacular view of Mt.Kunchenjunga,infact it was such a clear view that it would not be possible in many view points also.Mr Vivek and his whole staff is so nice and friendly,and took care of our every needs.Each and every Home cooked meal was super delicious,we ate momos,thukpa,aloo paratha,sandwiches,poori sabji and every item was prepared super fresh..As we didn't booked cab beforehand Mr.Vivek arranged us with cab for sightseeing and even bargained for us as per our request..He also helped us with all the shortcut routes when we went out for strolling to Mall road and nearby things.If you are looking for perfect homestay with feeling of family then Shree Niwas Homestay is the best. You won't feel that you came as a guest you will feel like you are meeting your own family.

Perfect place for Family. The homestay actually feels like home and the owner is most kind. The location is also perfect, close enough to the main market ( a mere 10 min walk), but distant enough, away from the Chaos, to enjoy the calm environment. Food is homely and is made fresh as per request. The hospitality is top notch. The rooms are very clean with potential views of Kanchenjunga. Would visit again. PS. There is also a small library room for leisure reading. Loved it. Thanks.

Had an amazing stay at Shree Niwas Darjeeling Homestay! The homestay is beautifully maintained, very clean, comfortable, and offers a peaceful atmosphere with stunning views of Darjeeling. The rooms are cozy and make you feel completely at home. A special mention to the owner, Mr. Vivek, who is an incredibly kind, humble, and helpful person. His hospitality is truly exceptional — he goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels comfortable and cared for. He was always available to guide us with local travel tips and made our stay even more memorable with his warm and friendly nature. If you’re looking for a perfect homestay experience in Darjeeling with genuine hospitality, Shree Niwas Darjeeling Homestay is highly recommended. Will definitely visit again!

I had a great experience at this homestay. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Manager is very kind and helpful—he gave us great travel guidance and even found us a place to stay for next day when he was fully booked. Highly recommended!"

First of all, the property is located at an amazing spot, with both Mall Road and Chowrasta just a 15-minute walk away. The owner (host) is truly a gentleman. We recently stayed here for 2 days, and the experience was wonderful from the very beginning. We arrived around 11:30 PM on the first day, and the owner was still awake, waiting to welcome us warmly. He even kept the food warm for us, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Since the temperature was quite low, he provided us with extra blankets without us even having to ask. The food service was excellent — everything was freshly prepared and tasted like authentic home-cooked food. The momos were definitely the highlight of the stay. If you want authentic Darjeeling-style momos, I would highly recommend trying them here — you won’t regret it. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I would definitely recommend this place for families, friends, as well as couples.

It was our 2nd stay at the Shree Niwas and it was again a great stay ! The team is very friendly and helpful, the place is very beautiful, with a nice decoration, confortable and very well-maintained. It is also very well located in Darjeeling and the food is excellent ! If you stop in Darjeeling, the Shree Niwas is definitively an excellent choice !
Anusha Neupane
Me and my sister had an exceptional stay here at shree niwas homestay with well managed, clean rooms as well as serene views. We didn't have solid plans so the owner told us about all the places we could visit as well as became our guide for the evening and walked us through town, explaining the history and speciality of spots. He is the heart of this homestay, truly reliable, kind and welcoming. All of our additional needs were attended by him as well as the lovely staff who made us feel right at home. The location is at a walking distance from the main area and the food here is made with fresh local ingredients as per your request. Taxi and parking services are also provided.
Lazina Shrestha
We stayed here for only one night and even with limited time, we had a excellent experience. The rooms were clean, spacious and with attached bathrooms and the room service was great. they even provided us with essentials like iron, umbrella and even a sim card. The owner is exceptionally kind ( he's a pookie ) and does everything to ensure your comfort and provides you with directions as well as information about local must visit spots and the other staff are also welcoming. Food is cooked with fresh ingredients as per your needs. The location is also from a walking distance from mall road and they can arrange a taxi for you as per your need.

Had a lovely cosy stay with quiet ambience…wonderful home cooked meal…though it’s a little walk from chowrasta but an interesting one with little eateries along the way …

The homestay truly lives up to its name, thanks to the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Mr. Vivek Pradhan, who is extremely welcoming and always ready to lend a helping hand. The food is thoughtfully prepared, making it ideal for health-conscious guests, with a well-balanced use of ingredients. Located just a few minutes walk from Chowrasta, the homestay offers a pleasant stroll along the way, where you can enjoy scenic views and explore charming roadside stalls. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything a visitor might need for a relaxing stay.
