I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was perfect for exploring the town, just a short walk from the main market. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, but unfortunately, the views weren't great. While the service was satisfactory, our first room left a lot to be desired regarding comfort. Dining options were decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it's a charming place but not without its flaws.

My stay at the Elgin was truly memorable, steeped in rich history and offering stunning views. The rooms were a lovely blend of traditional charm and modern amenities, while the location provided easy access to Darjeeling's attractions. However, there were minor issues with the dining options that could use improvement. Overall, it felt like an exceptional value for such a unique experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel, which is a mixed bag of experiences. While I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and well-maintained new wing, my overall stay was overshadowed by the less appealing conditions of the old wing and the unwelcoming service. The location does have its charm, but be cautious about the hidden issues that may dampen your visit.

We had the opportunity to stay in the new wing, which was spacious and featured modern amenities including air conditioning. However, the rooms in the old wing were quite cramped and lacked basic facilities, making the overall experience less pleasant.

Dining options were decent, but I had expected more from a hotel of this stature. While the breakfast spread was good, it could definitely be improved in variety and quality.

Facilities were somewhat lacking, especially in the old wing where maintenance seemed to be overlooked. The new wing offered a pleasant and modern environment, but the inconsistent quality across the hotel was disappointing.

This heritage hotel offers a unique glimpse into Darjeeling's history with its beautiful antique decor and spacious rooms. While the location is convenient and the staff is very attentive, the dining options could use some improvement, particularly the dinner cuisine. Additionally, the lack of lifts can be a bit inconvenient for guests with heavy luggage. Overall, it's a charming place to stay, especially for those who value character and history.

Rooms

Our room was in the heritage section, spacious with polished wooden floors and a separate sitting area. However, it's important to note that there are no lifts, so if you have mobility issues or heavy bags, you might want to reconsider your room choice.

While breakfast was quite good with a nice egg station, I found dinner options lacking. It felt like the quality could be improved to match the hotel's heritage vibe.

The hotel is well-maintained and has a lovely lounge area, but it should be noted that there's no central heating, which could be a drawback during cooler months.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Elgin. The history and charm of the hotel were captivating, but there were significant downsides, particularly with the overall maintenance and staff warmth. While the new wing offers better and more spacious rooms, the old wing falls short in comfort and ambiance. Dining was generally pleasant, adding some comfort to my experience despite the room issues.

Rooms
