Darjeeling is wonderful and this hotel has memories, from the posters and photis on the walls, of life back when. I stayed in the Tenzing Norgay block, with old somewhat faded photos of the great man along every inch of corridor. But not everything works...some of the lights, the bedsheets dont fit, the towels are worn. None of that distracted me from the historic atmosphere of old time luxury. The afternoon tea was great, as were all meals. And staff exceptional. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subhasish Jan 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, great character and amazing staff ##### Subhasish Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl Oct 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Couple long weekend trip Absolutely gorgeous and historic hotel.

Our deluxe room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It also had a nice view. We loved the Victorian style of the main building where the reception, bar, lounge and library are located. All the rooms including the dining room were tastefully decorated. The antique furniture and the artifacts take you back to the colonial times. The food served in the restaurant was tasteful. What made the dining experience special was the excellent quality of service of the restaurant staff. They were extremely polite. highly efficient and attentive. Unfortunately, we encountered one problem in the bathroom. The refuse was leaking in from the bathroom next door which was certainly a very unpleasant experience. When we complained about this, the hotel front desk staff immediately shifted us to another room which was next door. The staff not only apologized several times for our inconvenience but they also made sure that we got shifted to another room immediately. All in all, we had a very nice stay. ##### Abhik Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a lovely authentic place! ##### Gerald Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ajaib Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities great friendly staff, and great food and service ##### ajaib Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ludovic Mar 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Nice hotel but rooms without view Hotel is nice but check if your has a view.

Room key was kept at Reception for cleaning and when returning back, did not find the Goggles kept on the table in the room itself. Reported to reception immediately around 4 pm on the same day but they send the House keeping staff to us who simply denied for obvious reasons. Reception personnel did not bothered to inform us about their enquiry if any in the matter or It May be that the complaint was just ignored by sending the person concerned to us. We did not gave the keys for remaining days of our stay as I had lost my trust over the personnel therein. Definitely, I will share this incident if anyone ask about the hotel. ##### Shiladitya Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Property Great service and the staff was very accommodating.

The property is at a walkable distance from Mall road, Kaventers etc ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked everything about this hotel but the BEST part was the amazing service rendered by the staff - way beyond the call of duty! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Grand old hotel The Elgin provided comfort and wonderful, helpful service in a grand old building. It is perfectly located in Darjeeling. At dinner a very out of tune piano was played and it was quite awful sorry to say. The food was not as good as our previous visit with a sameness of flavour between dishes. We had a lovely two night stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Eddie, Washington, DC Dec 30, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Charming but a bit run down We enjoyed our stay at the Elgin. It was comfortable and our room was charming and unique (Rm 57 was part of an annex on the third floor, all wood ceiling and floors). The hotel feels like an oasis within Darjeeling city. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. We stayed at the hotel for Christmas, so it was cold, and the hot water bottles at night were a nice touch. Dinner was very good and a nice variety (Indian menu was far better than western) with good service. However, the bathroom flooded our first night because the pipes were clogged. The bar was quaint but not very well stocked and service was not very good. The front desk was not very knowledgeable about the city and did not provide good service. The Christmas celebration (bonfire and a cultural show) wAs not worth the money (included one glass of wine, bufffet dinner, and no real Christmas themed program). I would recommend staying here, but just set your standards a little lower, even though the hotel bills itself as a much classier place than it really is. ##### Eddie Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### marco, catania Nov 26, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Evitate questo hotel appena arrivati, ci hanno chiesto di saldare il conto...ancora prima di essere accompagnati in camera... non hanno accettato la carta di credito con cui avevamo prenotato....e ci hanno costretti nostro malgrado a cambiare carta di credito. il clima alla reception era quello di ''arraffare'' tutto e subito, persino il transfert dall'albergo all'aereoporto, 3 ore di macchina, volevano che lo pagassimo subito. Hotel pur avendo un costo medio-alto non è preparato a ricevere viaggiatori europei.Non c'è riscaldamento in camera, pur essendo a quota 2.135 mt Materassi e guanciali fatiscenti colazione:assolutamente con cibo indiano,con poca scelta, lo stesso vale per la cena Hotel in ristrutturazione, quindi con rumori durante l'arco delle giornata con forte odore di vernice nei corridoi. totalmente da evitare ##### marco Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon, Cheltenham, Glos, UK Nov 11, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay Would not hesitate to stay here again. Excellent hotel from a diifferent era. Food very good and staff also very attentive and helpful. The best place to stay in Darjeeling. ##### Jon Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isobel Oct 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely comfortable hotel. This is a lovely hotel with reflections of the Raj. Comfortable lounges, open fires, good sized rooms, some with spectacular views. The food is well prepared if fairly standard cuisine for this area. Convenient for Chawrastra Mall and the bazaar. ##### Isobel Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Raffles Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Raffles-Udaipur.h66933408.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Royal Bengal](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolpur-Hotels-Hotel-Royal-Bengal.h22793511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Maharaja's Lodge, Ranthambore](https://www.expedia.ca/Sawai-Madhopur-Hotels-Vivanta-Sawai-Madhopur-Lodge.h695445.Hotel-Information) > > [Bhairavgarh Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Bhairavgarh-Resort-Spa.h6577469.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Udaipur Palace Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Udaipur-Palace-Resort-Spa.h2481058.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Udaipur Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Udaipur-Resort-And-Spa.h4607163.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Palace Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-Hotels-The-Leela-Palace-Udaipur.h3021032.Hotel-Information) > > [Jagmandir Island Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Jagmandir-Island-Palace.h6284948.Hotel-Information) > > [Fortune Resort Kalimpong - Member ITC Hotels' Group](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalimpong-Hotels-Fortune-Resort-Kalimpong.h91780115.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Goa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cavelossim-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Goa-Resort.h438378.Hotel-Information) > > [MAYFAIR Himalayan Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalimpong-Hotels-MAYFAIR-Himalayan-Spa-Resort.h22728995.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana Fort-Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Alwar-Hotels-Neemrana-Fort-Palace.h16224166.Hotel-Information) > > [Treebo Indrapuri Hotel & Resort Siliguri Junction](https://www.expedia.ca/Siliguri-Hotels-Treebo-Trend-Indrapuri-Hotel-And-Resort.h83457522.Hotel-Information) > > [Eco Villa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Purulia-Hotels-Eco-Villa-Resort.h111632146.Hotel-Information) > > [Coorg Wilderness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Madikeri-Hotels-Coorg-Wilderness-Resort.h38346687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fateh Garh Resort by Fateh Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Fateh-Garh.h2703322.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ananta Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Ananta-Udaipur.h8704364.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirik Homestay](https://www.expedia.ca/Kurseong-Hotels-MIRIK-HOMESTAY.h103519343.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Retreat Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Royal-Retreat-Resort-And-Spa.h1515973.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabbana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-The-Cabbana-Resort-Spa.h2561042.Hotel-Information) > > [Noormahal Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karnal-Hotels-Hotel-Noormahal.h27081617.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasauli Hills Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kasauli-Hotels-Kasauli-Hills-Resort.h35634162.Hotel-Information) > > [Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail](https://www.expedia.ca/Shimla-Hotels-Welcomhotel-Tavleen-Chail.h65563091.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Lalit-Laxmi-Vilas-Palace.h661769.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Chia Kutir Resort & Spa Darjeeling](https://www.expedia.ca/Kurseong-Hotels-Taj-Chia-Kutir-Resort-Spa-Darjeeling.h61094547.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramee Royal Resort & Spa Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Ramee-Royal.h48846207.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gitanjali Maldah](https://www.expedia.ca/Malda-Hotels-Hotel-Gitanjali-Maldah.h38979552.Hotel-Information) > > [JHARNA RESORT](https://www.expedia.ca/Purulia-Hotels-JHARNA-RESORT.h99742473.Hotel-Information)
