Lovely hotel in a great location. It's a historic property which means some parts of the room could do with a little refresh. Overall stunning bedrooms with good character. Staff were super helpful and friendly.

This heritage property is right in the heart of the city, 10 min walk from Mall Road. The rooms were big, luxurious and have large windows to look at the scenic beauty. The reception is little gloomy but the lounge is artistic, rustic and full of old artifacts. There’s no compromise when it comes to cleanliness and amenities. The food is awesome, tasty and service is fast. It’s a value for ur money!

We stayed for 2 nights in this property. Location of the property is good as Mall road is nearby. But the property is very old and not maintained well now. Food is okay but having limited options. Service is good. Facilities are not maintained, even the lobby area is having dirty sofas. TVs dont work on its own, taps are rusted. Better to avoid this property, not worth the price.

The Elgin Hotel in Darjeeling is quite an English-style hotel. The hotel's staff and everything about the hotel was so amazing that I'd give it more than five ratings - it would be an understatement. My daughter's health became very poor while we were staying at this hotel, and we had to take her to the hospital in an emergency. And the hotel staff were so cooperative - whether it was the driver taking her to the hospital or the General Manager coming to the hospital with water, blankets, checking on food, every single person from the manager to the sweeper was so helpful. They kept bringing us medicines whenever we needed them. Even when my daughter vomited in the room, the staff kept coming to change it. They were very concerned about my daughter's health. They even provided us with dinner in our room at night and breakfast in the room because we couldn't make it to the buffet due to my daughter's condition. The checkout time is usually 11 am, and typically hotels start calling you, but this hotel let us stay until 2 pm without once asking us to checkout - they were very understanding because my daughter wasn't well. I'm very thankful to this hotel and its staff for showing so much cooperation. I can't give it enough ratings - if you're going to Darjeeling, without a doubt, you should stay at Elgin Darjeeling.

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.

Oh dear! Heritage but chaotic and disappointing. This hotel could be so much better but it’s stuck in the past. The good - the lounge is lovely and check in is efficient. The rooms are cleaned well and staff try to be helpful. Fantastic views! The not good: breakfast. Fruit tasted odd - almost a bit “off”. Eggs have to be ordered. You might get them within 15 minutes, or you might get nothing. Ditto coffee. You make your own roast. There’s a table spoon size portion of marmalade on the table for 4 people. Butter is little more than a teaspoon in size. Warm milk with the cereals and little choice (2). Easily the worst breakfast of anywhere we stayed in India. Tour company chose the hotel. The room - good size but very average bathroom with barely functional shower over the chipped bath. Poorly lit. Towels - thin and grey. They had seen better days as had the bed linen. No crisp white sheets here! Blue brushed cotton sheet under a similar white duvet cover. Very heavy duvet and two hard pillows each. Bottom sheet was stained. The worst bed on the holiday by far. The garden - attractive covered seating area marred by plastic covered cushions on the garden furniture that were tired and unattractive. Should be much better. Bottom line - this hotel needs an overhaul and better management. It’s not good enough and is resting on laurels gained in some bygone era. I’d look elsewhere.

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.
