If you love old world charm, this is the place to stay. This hotel is completing 100 years of its existence in this year (2013). The hotel is really beautiful with its cute building, landscaped garden and great location which offers magnificent view of majestic Kangchenjunga on clear days and yet at a very convenient distance from mall road.

We had some very interesting conversations about the movie Barfi and the artwork on the premises. He arranged several tours for us. The dining... More

Paeans have been sung in earlier reviews for this wonderful property in a scenic location looked after by the energetic manager, Mr Uttam Paul. But let me repeat - this is the place to stay in Darjeeling in a colonial ambience with a great view with only 10 minutes walk from the Mall. The beautiful lawn and garden full of... More

This is a very historic hotel in the centre of Darjeeling town but far enough away from the traffic and other distracting noises of a city. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and very large red rhododendron trees for which this region is renowned. The service is first class, the food really good and the staff very friendly, especially the... More

pros: Great service. Very friendly and helpful management. Mr. Uttam Paul, a manager, helped schedule our sight seeing and also arranged for taxis. Scheduling was excellent if one does not hold prior knowledge of Darjeeling's landscape. Prompt room service and they deliver with a smile. Cons: No heaters by default. Have to request for it. The heaters they provide is... More
