Its a heritage property in a very nice area of Darj. However, the property is poorly maintained and it has musty smell in the rooms. Also the plumbing and maintenance is wanting in the rooms.

Approach from front office personnel was very casual and not customer friendly. 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.

Good place to spend a relaxing getaway

Overall a good experience, The property was amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner menu and quality of food preparation can be improved further but these are surely not a show stopper. The property is at a walkable distance from Mall road, Kaventers etc

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.

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.

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.
