We stayed for 3 nights at the Seven Seventeen and found it very relaxing and homely after having spent some days in Delhi in more chaotic surroundings. The hotel owners were very nice and helpful and so was the staff at the reception. We were invited to use the owners library/sitting room on the top floor at any time. The... more

My wife and I relocated to Hotel 717 after experiencing indifferent service at the hotel we stayed at previously in Darjeeling. We found the hotel staff friendly and helpful. Assistance was only a phone call away. The rooms were well decorated in Tibetan style and were spotlessly cleaned. The hotel had food available to cater to most tastes. The owners... more

We had a blast in Darjeeling, it was a great experience. Luckily we stayed at the SevenSeventeen because the hotel staff were very helpful advising us what to see and where to go. The hotel itself is exactly what we needed, a clean and comfortable room at very affordable price. And also the restaurant serves a variety of nice food... more

The hotel has such an incredible homely ambience while the service and catering is extremely efficient. It is an out of world experience with the heritage rooms yet every comfort being attended to. One feels secure too! The amazing thing was the rates were very affordable more

Extreme cost cutting approach i.e.do not provide hot water unless asked thrice, avoid food /sweet dish unless guest demands it in buffet dinner. Staff not helpful, uncourtious Ill maintained room i.e. flush does not work.not willing to repair/ Not willing to change room even after a day while rooms were vacant more

Not forthcoming with any information, and suggestions, as... more

We stayed there in November and choose the place as the previous reviews states after reading the comment in Lonely Planet. and enjoyed the same positive experience he has. We had also the room on the top floor and enjoyed it very much. If you have the possibility, opt for these rooms for the view and the tibetan ambience -... more

I have just returned from a four day trip to Darjeeling (14th July - 18th July 2006) with my family - my husband, me and my toddler. The room in the hotel was spacious, we opted for a superior deluxe room with breakfast. Bathroom is clean - I am extremely fussy about clean bathrooms. The room is clean with wall... more
