Kalimpong town, as it now has to be called as Kalimpong district was demarcated from the district of Darjeeling in February 2018, is one of the most beautiful hill stations in West Bengal. Thousands of tourists visit this place every year, and this has led to the establishment of quite a few good hotels in the town. However, it can be difficult to know which hotel to stay in, simply because of the number of options available to you. There are Kalimpong hotels which can match your budget perfectly. Whether you are looking for a budget hotel, or a mid-range 2-star one, or even a high-end place to stay, everything is available for you to choose from.
You might decide to stay in a hotel, for example, that offers a breathtaking view of various snow-capped peaks. Similarly, you can also choose to bunk in a hotel that is nicely nestled in the midst of beautiful landscapes. The choice, of course, is yours, and you can decide the hotel to stay in while you are on a Kalimpong tour based on your budget. If you want all the amenities close to you while you are in Kalimpong, then you should go for a hotel that is located near the city centre so that you do have to travel far to get your daily necessities.
Another thing to consider when deciding on Kalimpong hotels is the levels of hygiene they practice. No matter what the rating of the hotel, whether it is a 2-star or a 4-star, every aspect of it should be clean. From washed bed sheets to clean curtains, no compromise should be done on your part in the way of hygiene.
Food is also a concern when it comes to selecting the right hotel. Ask around about the quality of food in a certain hotel before you check-in. Also, try and find out whether there are quality restaurants nearby where you can satiate your hunger should the need arise. Enquire about the promptness of the room service, and their courteousness, as you would not want to be stuck in a hotel where the staff is not efficient and well-mannered. The quality of the hotel you are going to stay in is directly going to have an effect on your Kalimpong tour experience. So it is better to ensure that you are yourself happy with your decision.
