Darjeeling Hotels with Bars

Review of Taj Chia Kutir, Darjeeling We stayed at Taj Chia Kutir, Darjeeling, from 15th to 17th February 2025 to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. While the property itself is stunning and the overall stay was pleasant, our experience was significantly marred by poor service coordination, which ruined our special occasion. Service Disappointment Before our arrival, our travel agent coordinated with Mr. Rishi, the F&B Manager, regarding a special anniversary dinner, estimated to cost around ₹25,000. We were advised to connect with him upon arrival, which we did. Mr. Rishi assured us that he would make arrangements and get in touch with us. He even mentioned sharing his contact number, but he never did. Neither did he reach out to us nor did he arrange anything, leading to a complete disappointment. This lack of communication and follow-through showed a serious disregard for guest experience, which is unexpected from a brand like Taj. Other Aspects of the Stay • Property & Ambience: The resort itself is beautiful, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. • Food: The food was average at best, with a limited spread. For a luxury property, we expected a more diverse and high-quality culinary experience. • Service: Apart from the anniversary dinner mishap, the overall service was decent, but not exceptional. Final Verdict Taj Chia Kutir offers a picturesque setting, but the lack of attention to guest requests and poor service coordination left a bitter taste. For a special occasion, we wouldn’t recommend relying on their team for event arrangements. While the stay was comfortable, this service failure overshadowed our experience. If you’re visiting for a casual getaway, you might enjoy it, but if you’re expecting top-notch service for a special occasion, think twice.

This is a lovely hotel well positioned with excellent views, lovely terraces with hundreds of flowers, really well designed rooms and public spaces. The staff are all excellent very welcoming and service level extremely high Parveen mixes amazing cocktails and was very attentive. The food was excellent both the buffet and off the menu. Housekeeping, nothing was a problem and if the temperature drops they bring hot water bottles and set a real fire in your room. We loved relaxing in the library over tea after a hectic day in fascinating Darjeeling. Highly recommended.

Stayed 13th to 14th May 2024 , 3 Rooms As everywhere it is known first experience is the best experience but my Experience in Barsana is very bad with Front Office Team, I booked with Agoda for 6 adults and 1 kid but by mistake room is booked for 3 adults 3 rooms. My brother requested them to give rooms key till agoda reverts back or else I will pay the amount they asked for 3000 rs in the morning but they denied to give me the key , issues was more we travelled for 7 hours and for with females and kids. my question is when I already paid for 3 rooms for 3 adults they would have allowed atleast 3 person if not 6 but they denied. why after paying Rs 9100 they have not given me the Key. I never been to any star hotel which ask complete payments before checkin, advance is still ok even I paid for 3 rooms and. 3 adults but this hotel asked 100% of Rs 3000 payments to give me a key for extra 3 person. it was very embarassing situation while travelling with a family almost waited for 1 hours to get the key only after Agoda replied to pay 500 person + GST to be paid for each extra person. after getting a room mosquitos not allowed to sleep in the night due to early morning checked out stayed only for 8 hours paid almost 11k for 3 rooms. Overall ambience of Hotel ,food , rooms ambience , Location , staff in Restaurent was very good.

I visited there a month ago with my parents. When I entered to this hotel it was absolutely great. I stayed at ***y hotels but this was one of the best place I've ever been ♥️ literally awesome place and hospitality was very good. The behaviour of staff and everyone working there was very nice and gentle. Loved that place 😘

Room was pretty spacious neat n clean. Location is good food tastes good but sometimes delays in delivering. Overall stay at gakhil boutique hotel was great. Looking forward to stay again

We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant, and I wanted to highlight the exceptional service provided by Mr. Sentu Mondal. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure our needs were met throughout the meal. His professionalism and positive attitude truly enhanced our experience. Thank you, Mr. Mondal, for your outstanding service.
