This hotel completely ruined what should have been a great trip to Darjeeling. The room was damp, dusty, and smelled horrible. The bathroom was wet, the toilet seat wouldn’t stay up, and the geyser didn’t work — we were told to use another room’s bathroom instead. No intercom, no toiletries, no drinking water, filthy kettle, and WiFi that never worked. To reach reception we had to call/WhatsApp the manager, which was useless without a local SIM or working internet.
Breakfast was a joke — promised options but served oily, tasteless food (sometimes bought from outside) and often no tea at all. The hotel location is also a complete lie — it’s over 1 km uphill from Mall Road, not “0.1 km” as listed.
I’ve stayed in many hotels, including Summit Barsana in Kalimpong on the same trip (which was excellent), and this was by far the worst. Save yourself the stress — do not stay here under any circumstances.
