We had a great stay in this very special hotel, overlooking the Darjeeling Mall, the heart of the town. The property is carefully maintained to retain its colonial feel. The staffs are courteous and the chef makes wonderful food. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Upon entry we noticed 2 hairs on towels and bed linens. An hour later at lunch we noticed another on the napkin. TV remote didn't work. Within 2 hours of being here we experienced load shedding. As others have noted there is a difference between quaint and un-kept up. Having stayed in numerous properties far older than this which can find a way to both have modern amenities without ruining character, I can only assume this is due to how tight-fisted the management is. On to the service: there was a large party staying who initially were having dinner outside but due to weather decided to move inside. This meant ALL public areas were off limit. That meant the only dining option was room service. My sister and I wanted to get a drink and go to lounge. We were told to sit in reception. Unthinkable being asked this in a western or actual 4 star hotel. At this point you expect comped drinks or a discount. What are we paying for?

It was one of my dreams come true when i stayed at windamere, darjeeling as i longed for this vacation. We were absolutely delighted after the -in!
warm was the welcome with the lovely and humble attitude of the hotel staff. So, was the charming colonial architecture of the property! i must say that this is a must visit hotel for the people who love colonial hangovers and old world charm!
food was equally good served in proper crockery and cutlery. A five star for this wonderful hotel!

Located at the primmest of location just beside the mall, easily accessible still by car. Rooms are well maintained, food takes you back to the days of the british raj as well as the modern tastes. The serene beauty of the environment with the colonial hangover embedded in the very structure of the establishment is an experience in itself. Staff are very courteous and prompt and share anecdotes of famous dwellers of the days gone by.

A unique experience, we had booked for our family dinner for 16 of us, it was an amazing experience, we had an option of dining at the traditional hall with candlelight or the glass restaurant, we went with the traditional diner, I suggest everyone should experience this atleast once, the music, food the services were all top notch. Mr. Shiva and Harish were very kind while rendering the services. Thanks team!

The Windermere’s central location, 1930s feel and marvellous views cannot be equalled. No complaints about food or service but it crosses the line between “Heritage” and run-down. We were given a dark room immediately above reception and the kitchen. Many of the furnishings looked original = threadbare, lighting was dim and it was noisy from below in the evening and early evening. Plumbing was also to 1930s standard. I suggest that the hotel is riding in its reputation. Having said all that, others in my group had a slightly better experience but, as tour manager I won’t be taking other groups there.
