My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location had potential, the overall service and condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The view was blocked, and the staff's attitude was less than welcoming. I can't really recommend it unless significant improvements are made.

Our stay at Elgin was an incredible experience! The rooms were not just spacious but also beautifully maintained, making it feel like a true luxury escape. The service, led by Mr. Badal Majumdar, was exceptional and really added a personal touch to our meals. However, the dining experience had a few hiccups, especially with the inconsistent food quality during our stay. Overall, it offers great value for money, particularly with the quality of service we received.

The Elgin in Darjeeling is a charming hotel that beautifully combines history and modern amenities, providing a unique experience. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the main attractions, and the ambiance is truly delightful with historical decor. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, especially in terms of the à la carte menu, which had limited options and below-par quality for some dishes.
