The Elgin provides a unique experience that beautifully encapsulates the charm of the British Raj while being located right in the bustling heart of Darjeeling. The rooms carry a blend of modernity and heritage, making for a comfortable stay. The service was extraordinary, especially from specific staff members who went above and beyond to pamper our family. However, the dining options, especially the buffet, left something to be desired in terms of variety and excitement.

My stay at this beautiful property in Darjeeling was truly memorable. It seamlessly blends modern amenities with vintage charm. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the market, making it easy to explore.

The hotel has a beautiful colonial feel and the rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a relaxing experience. However, a major downside was the presence of a rat near the dessert table during dinner, which was quite off-putting. Additionally, the service at the restaurant was lacking, with staff more focused on their conversations than attending to guests. Overall, it has great potential but needs improvement in hygiene and service.

My stay was a mix of charm and disappointment. While the hotel boasts beautiful decor and a nod to its rich history, the lack of modern amenities was hard to overlook. The rooms were spacious but outdated, and the service varied, with some helpful staff but a manager who wasn't as accommodating. I loved the location, nestled in the hills, but the dining options left much to be desired.

I had a lovely one-night stay at The Elgin. The room was beautiful with a fantastic view, and the dining experience during dinner was exceptional with friendly staff. However, the high tea was a real letdown, with stale sandwiches and poor coffee, and the management was unhelpful when I raised my concerns. Overall, while the hotel has charm and pleasant service, the inconsistency in food quality and customer service left me frustrated.
