A fabulous hotel with wonderful staff. The rooms are huge and have lovely views of the mountains. It's in a great location, a short walk from town but away from the noise. Thanks to all the staff for an amazing stay. We'll definitely be back again.

A beautiful oasis of calm in the noise and bustle if darjeeling. Largely overlooking the central part of the city and easy walking distance to fascinating markets and temples. There should be fabulous views of the Himalaya but I can't comment as we had an entire week of fog and mist (not the fault of the hotel of course). The hotel has large bedrooms and bathrooms...with comfortable and very large beds...a welcome relief from other hots on our travels. The bedrooms I guess have great views. Perhaps lacking is air conditioning which might be an issue as opening windows is discouraged due to local monkeys. Bathrooms are modern with double basins and separate shower and bath. The common areas are as they should be for a heritage hotel. Lots of period character. Food has been excellent- difficult to fault nland easy to praise. Staff, again as one would expect, were exceptional. Negatives? We were unlucky and we shared our floor with a selfish family group that kept their doors open so children could run back and forth, shouting and generally have fun - all very well, but not as it approached midnight. Hotel security did their best but it's difficult to deal with selfish, entitled people sometimes. It happens. Darjeeling is lovely. Great character...and of course the mountain railway.

The room especially and the whole hotel property were excellent, very tasteful and comfortable. The service is outstanding. The staff have been extremely courteous and helpful, always smiling. The buffet offerings could have had more variety.

This is my 2nd time spending Christmas at Elgin with my family, and I can truly say that we are thoroughly enjoying our time! From the ambience to the delicious food, it feels like home!! The staff never fail to have a smile on their face and their hospitality is commendable. The rooms are spacious and have the same vintage charm like the rest of the spaces in the property. Not to forget, the views from each room is breathtaking!!! We are absolutely loving our stay and we can't wait to create more memories with Elgin!

A beautiful heritage property in Darjeeling situated in a quite spot in this incredibly busy town (we were there at the height of the tourist season). Throughout the hotel there are wonderful photos of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hilary. I believe Tenzing lived in Darjeeling and this hotel certainly celebrates its local hero. The lounge and the dining area are really lovely and tastefully decorated. The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful. We had three huge rooms overlooking the town from where we could watch the beautiful sunsets in the evening. I would highly recommend this place.

Good location with easy walk to centre of Darjeeling. Lovely staff. No central heating so they put heaters in the room and a lovely *** brings hot water bottles for your bed. Rooms are large. Food ok. However, the hotel is very, very tired and could do with an upgrade. Unfortunately found someone else’s nightie in bathroom cupboard.
