Cedar Inn

Cedar Inn is lovely. It’s away from the town, very peaceful, and has a wonderful charm. The people are warm and always smiling. Mr. Sanjay Nangia, Mr. Mingma Sherpa, and their team are the best. The rooms are wooden and cozy, with breathtaking views of the mountains. Mist comes in through the windows, beside which you can sit, have coffee, and read all day, I promise. All is quiet except the chirping of birds and the occasional, faint whistle of the toy train in the distance. There’s something magical here when it rains.

The room was comfortable with a brilliant view of the valley below and of Darjeeling town. Breakfast buffet was sumptuous with an array of choices. The lunch and dinner was very good too. The overall atmosphere in the hotel was comfortable and welcoming. The service of the staff was of a very high order. A particular word of appreciation for Mr Sanjay Nangia, the GM of the hotel, who went out of his way to make us comfortable. That personal touch makes a world of difference.

We had the pleasure of statying at the Cedar Inn at Darjeeling for the period 13th to 17th June. We have had statys previously at various locations in India/abroad, but I must say the nothing beats the hospitality of this hotel. We had a kid - 4 years, travelling with us and they made sure that all of us were comfortable during our stay. They catered to even the smallest of our needs like food for our kid, providing advice on when and how to travel etc. I had the unfortunate incident where I fell while trekking , the HR of the hotel Neera arranged a rib belt for me late at night. She even took the trouble of making sure she had us served some hot soup so that I feel better. While I was a little better the next day she did call me to inquire about my health. Truly staying here, is feeling like a family being cared of at all times. I cannot thank enough Dipesh who at night (around 10 PM) got the rib belt for me. Not only that other staff members like Norden, Robin, Aspana, Nima and who can forget Mingma were ever so gracious and engaging. Special thanks to all of them esp Aspana and Mingma who engaged with our little one. As for the hotel itself, this is the place to stay if you ever visit Darjeeling. This one is a little away from the hustle bustle of the mall road and the views are breath taking. On a bright sunny lucky day, you can see the might Kanchenjunga from your room itself. Yes that is true, some pics are attached. It has a very good buffet spread and maintains high hygene. As I always said during my visit to the staff, If I ever visit Darjeeling again, Cedar Inn will be the place I will be found at.
