After a fortnight long trip to the Arunachal Pradesh, my next journey was in the breathtaking hills of Gangtok. I traveled to Gangtok via the small yet buzzing town of Siliguri, and the way it has undergone change amazed me in many ways. Siliguri has not only evolved over the past years in its travel infrastructure including Bagdogra airport, but also has come up with a lot of stylish properties nestled in several pockets of the city. I am checking into The Loft Hotel, on the Nivedita Road, Siliguri. Here’s a quick review of my stay with them
Unlike what I usually follow the practice of trawell-hacking for the best hotel rates online, this time I decided to do it the traditional way.
After landing at the Bagdogra Airport, I was surprised about the disappointing mobile net connection (because I had a better connectivity in Tawang without having to buy a new SIM card) and I didn’t had a hotel booking for the day.
So, I booked the taxi from Bagdogra Airport and started my search for a hotel in the Siliguri Town. After randomly walking into few hotels around the Sevoke Road, I took to its neighborhood on the Nivedita Road, to the Loft Hotel.
Although the hotel is about 14 km from the Bagdogra Airport, it is worth a chance traveling 35 minutes to stay here.
About The Loft Hotel Siliguri
The Loft Hotel Siliguri Entrance
The Loft Hotel is located enroute the Gangtok Highway, which is a usual choice for travelers while selecting hotels as it is easier to get on the main highway and drive towards Gangtok, rather than finding your way from the other parts of Siliguri.
The Loft Hotel Reception
The Loft Hotel is comfortably placed in the urban neighborhoods of Siliguri town, and most of the local attractions are within a distance of 3 to 4 kms from here. You can quickly hop back to the Bagdogra Airport after an overnight stay, or go for the Hong Kong Market in Siliguri on a foodie or shopping spree in the evenings.
The hotel has 5 floors with rooms in four categories – Apartments, Standard Double Room, Deluxe Double Room and Executive Suites. The rooms are of minimalistic design yet spacious and elaborately designed.

Hotel Amenities and Services
The bedroom view -1
I booked the Deluxe Rooms with them during my stay. What makes the place an excellent stay is the elegantly designed and spacious rooms, simple and essential decor and an affordable price.
There is someone to attend you at one call. I have stayed and reviewed many hotels before, but have found very few who respond that quick on calls.
I later realized that the hotel had a 1-Star rating, however, it maintains a consistent review of more than 9.0 in most of the popular hotel booking engines.
The Restaurant Loft Hotel
The restaurant area is located on the second floor. The third floor has an extended lobby level where you can sit down, relax and spend your time reading books and newspapers and the fourth floor has banquet hall for events and meetings.
