Hideously overpriced
The driver who took us around, he was great. Nothing else, don't bother staying here.
4.3
This hotel was very overpriced. The towel robe in the room was drenched I discovered on putting it on. The staff at reception didn't bat an eyelid and just offered to replace it. I was appalled at their lack of reaction.
The food is ok, nothing special. Location is good as is near everything in the centre of Darjeeling.
The one really good thing about this hotel was the driver who took us around a few days - he was really professional and friendly and made this part of the stay very enjoyable.
I wouldn't bother staying here to be honest - you could get a budget place to stay much cheaper. This was budget and overpriced. Don't bother with the premium attic room.

Worth every buck...
The premium attic room was fantastic, The location , Free Wi fi
8.3
I booked the premium attic room and was pleasantly surprised when I stepped in. Replete with wooden floorings and fittings, it had an old world charm to it. My room had 2 floors which made it even more special. The sun deck gave magnificent views of the city.
Highly recommended if you are prepared to spend a little.

The stay was great. The service was really good and it is recommended to book the hotel room with dinner and breakfast. The food was worth and had a good variety.

This is a lovely hotel to stay in. I would suggest the following improvements:
a. Heating in the foyer/reception and bed rooms.
b. Wi-Fi availability in the rooms.

Moved to the Viceroy after cold night at previous hotel. Viceroy was airy and comfortable with lift access to rooms. Dinner and breakfast included were good. Staff supplied hot water bottle on request.

Welcoming hotel, superior view of Kanchenjunga
View from rooftop deck, excellent dinner buffet, welcoming staff
9.3
PLEASE NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE PR AS MY NAME WHEN POSTING THIS REVIEW! AND I AM FROM PENNSYLVANIA, USA. I DO NOT WANT MY FULL NAME SHARED! THANK YOU!
This was my second stay at the Viceroy and, after a change in plans, I returned for an additional, third week. I feel comfortable here and I love the view of Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk to Chowrasta, the central plaza. The food is excellent. When there are sufficient guests, breakfast and dinner are buffets and offer a variety of Indian dishes and usually one pasta option for the less adventurous eaters.
The hotel is clean and the lobby offers free wireless internet. Guests are greeted in a traditional, lovely way. The hotel's atrium style, classic photographs, and iron gated lift add character and beauty.
The reception area closes by 10.
The shower curtains don't keep the bathroom floor dry!
Darjeeling is wonderful (tho not easily accessible: the airport is 3.5 hours drive, mostly uphill). You are in the "hill region," clearly in the Himalayans. The variety of religious groups means there is almost always a holiday celebration (adding great interest and also meaning some shops are closed on any given day). The market area, downhill, is fascinating. And the old colonial buildings further uphill provide a totally different architectural interest. (On the same level as the Viceroy, many are now hotels.)
It is easy to meet wonderful people (local and international) in Darjeeling! I met many travelers right in the hotel dining room.

Heritage style hotel in good location. Large window with amazing view from the bed! Shower not so good and hot water didn't run for a long time which was unpleasant in cold weather. Restaurant food (breakfast and dinner) mainly Indian. Friendly staff and drivers were great!
