We had an incredible stay at this hotel! The views of the mountains were absolutely breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home with their warm hospitality and quick service. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, which was perfect for Darjeeling's chilly evenings. Highly recommended to anyone visiting! Will definitely return. 🏔️

Finding this hotel can be a bit tricky, as Darjeeling's road network is quite complicated. However, since we were traveling by bike, it was comparatively easier for us to locate it. The rooms offer a really great view, and the hospitality of the staff is excellent. The main receptionist went out of his way to help us by lending us his personal hair dryer when we requested one, which was a thoughtful gesture. The food served at the hotel was good, and the terrace area is awesome, offering a pleasant place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, we had a very nice experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Darjeeling.

It is a Lovely stay in the heart of Darjeeling with the property being peaceful and neat . The rooms are clean , comfortable and well maintained . Yes the location can be a bit off beat , however they do help you with Cabs and Travel to the Mall Road and other Tourist places. They also do offer pickup and drop service which saves you the time and hassle to look for shared cabs . The host was friendly and responsive . The overall staff were polite.They do offer Food ( Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner ). The Mountain view is amazing and the overall experience exceeded my expectations and I’d definitely visit again!

Staff was trying their best but somewhere management needs to fix some processes. Location is not elderly friendly. It's located very interior to the main Chawk bazar area and the roads are broken and very narrow. After 7pm there are no taxis to take you to the hotel from chowk bazar so it's a long walk we had to make. Elderly family members had leg pain after. Food is prepared fresh to order and so the wait time is long. Complimentary breakfast is not buffet. Our deluxe view room smelled like public urinal for some odd reason. Staff was cooperative and got us room freshners but having paid for a deluxe view room, this smells should not have been there at all. Overall experience was okay because staff was helpful. But the biggest offputting point for me was the location.
