The property is excellent and one of the best place to see the mighty sleeping buddha formation while sipping your morning coffee from the comfort of your balcony. If your goal is to watch the Kanchenjunga throughout the day then this hotel should be your choice as it provides better views than even the famous batasia loop.
Pros:
Furniture and fittings are of the highest quality
Views of Kanchenjunga from the balcony (check with reception before booking)
In house restaurant provides tasty vegetarian food
Cons:
There is no hotel frontage, so getting up and down from the cab is a bit of a hassle and needs to be done in a hurry
20 min uphill walk to the mall. Cabs charge whatever they want.
Suggestion:
The hotel has everything that one wants in Darjeeling except for the access to the mall, if a free shuttle can be arranged at regular intervals to ferry hotel guests uphill, it will be a huge improvement. Coming downhill isn't a problem.
*The water pressure in the rain showers inside the washroom is one of the best I have seen in a hotel in India
