I recently stayed at Mellow Fellow, Gangtok, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had on a trip! The stay was super comfortable, and the vibe of the place was just perfect for travelers. The common area upstairs offers a stunning view of the hills — a great spot to relax, chill, and meet new people. A special mention to Sonam, who’s not just a great host but truly feels like a brother and a friend. Every evening we all sat together, shared stories, and enjoyed his amazing singing — those moments made the trip truly memorable. The location is unbeatable — right on MG Marg, making it easy to explore the city, cafes, and local markets. Thanks to Sonam and the entire Mellow Fellow team for making my Gangtok trip so special. I’ll definitely come back again soon! ❤️

From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Their friendliness created a warm atmosphere, and I could sense the genuine care they have for their guests. The hostel's stunning location at MG Marg offers breathtaking views, and the common area is a beautiful space for socializing. The staff's local insights were invaluable, providing helpful recommendations for exploring Gangtok and assisting with practical matters. What truly sets Mellow Fellow Hostel apart is the team's dedication to creating a positive environment.

This has been one of the best backpacker hostels I have stayed in from past 6 years of travelling solo. I had booked the place for 3 nights but had to extend my stay for 3 more. The location is perfect, but what makes Mellow Fellow a happening place is its common area. Sonam gathers everyone and makes sure they have a memorable trip very effortlessly. He is by far the most genuine hosts I have come across. Samit is fun and exchanges a warm smile everytime you run into him. Annie and the entire team of this hostel, run the place with utmost passion and professionalism. Would highly recommend staying here.

The flushes in the washroom and shower heads do not work with full efficiency. Basic cleanliness needs to be worked upon (Eg. Changing of sheets, Washroom floors, kitchen counter, refilling the dishwashing soap, replacing a new scrubber)

Mellow Fellow Hostel offers a delightful stay in the heart of the city Mg marg. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality by Annie, Sonam, and Samit. The atmosphere is vibrant, with cozy common areas perfect for mingling with fellow travelers. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The hostel organizes fun activities and Karaoke sessions in the common area. Whether you're a solo traveler or with friends, Mellow Fellow Hostel provides an unforgettable experience, thanks to its fantastic hosts and welcoming ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay in town!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming staff who went out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I also appreciated the convenient amenities, including kitchen, and comfortable lounging areas. The location was perfect, situated close to major attractions (MG Road, Restaurants🥰, Lal Market & Ropeway) Additionally, the hostel had a great atmosphere, with a vibrant community of fellow travelers that made my stay even more enjoyable. Sorry, I forgot everyone's name as I was there only for a day. Overall, I highly recommend Mellow Fellow to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay. I will definitely be returning on my next trip! Soooon!

The only area that could use some improvement is cleanliness. While the hostel was generally clean, a bit more frequent cleaning, perhaps 2-3 times a day, would have made it perfect. Given that I stayed in a hostel bed, I understand the limitations, but this small change could enhance the overall experience significantly.

The atmosphere at Mellow Fellow as always was brilliant. All the staff there make the place feel friendly, warm and cozy. Special Shout-out to Sonam for being such a good host, suggesting us all the right things to do, showing us around, taking us on walking tour and what not to make our stay at Gangtok memorable 😀. So kudos buddy. Also to mention, the rooms are well maitained, clean and so are the bathrooms both the dorms and the private rooms.

A little bit of repair and renovation of the Common Area, its adjacent Common bathroom and kitchen would be great. Apart from that all 👍🏼.

My second visit here and it has only gotten better. The location is a definite highlight, but the most important aspect of Mellow Fellow Hostel is its staff - especially Annie, Samit, and Sonam, they are such warm people who do their best and more to make you feel at home. If you are visiting, please ask Sonam to sing, his singing definitely tugs at your heartstrings. Also, two of the world’s cutest dogs are waiting in the common area to play with you.

That I have to leave :(

Prime location right at the mg marg, VFM, Clean dorms, good, polite, friendly and helping staff. Beautiful terrace as a common room. Very comfortable beds.

Bathroom toiletries are non in dorms. A suggestion for Toilet Paper/towels etc on rent has been given and they promise they will think about it.

I had such a lovely time at Mellow Fellow, I stayed for over a week. The staff, especially Sandi and Annie, are great people who really made the stay special. They are fun, friendly, and have a wealth of knowledge about Sikkim. The facilities are also very comfortable, with clean rooms and a vibey common area. Of course, the location is also perfect for exploring MG Marg with dozens of restaurants nearby. Mellow fellow should be your only choice when visiting Gangtok.

Situated in the middle of MG road. very good Location. easy access to all the shopping and eatery places on MG Road. The staff is very helpful. good ambiance, well-designed lobbies with lovely paintings. good-sized rooms with attached washrooms. rooms overlooking MG Road. busy street.

Window Curtains could be bettered with double sheer plus and layer. Sign signboard of Mellow Fellow wasn't visible from the main street as the other signboard is hiding.
