It is lovely place to stay I. If you want to be away from the maddening crowd but surrounded by history. The approach road is bad and narrow, but the property which is adjacent to the Raj Bari is huge. The garden around the place need some landscaping and maintenance. Our group of 9 were the only ones there so the whole property was ours. Food was good and very reasonably priced. A special shout out to Kshitij. He was a complete sweetheart who took exceptional care of our requirements and comfort. Rinchen was a lovelybhost who welcomed us in a very traditional manner and also made sure that we were looked after well. He even opened the Raj Bari for us to enjoy viewing the place from the inside. I loved my experience and recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the other side of Darjeeling.
The surrounding garden needs a lot of upkeep, mattresses need to be changed as some of us found it tad difficult to sleep.

The location is awesome. It is a heritage property. Very close to Darjeeling but very quite and calm. The suite provided to us is fabulous. Very big rooms. Clean toilet, a passageway is also attached with it. Both the rooms have a double bed each, with bed warmer. Plenty of blankets provided. The room has an armchair, table chairs. The most important thing is the view. We had clear Kanchenjungha view from our room. Rinzin and Sourav are very helpful.
The only downside for me is the approach road. It is very narrow and steep. I was supposed to take my car for the trip, but my friend adviced me against it for that road. Initially the driver of our hired car refused to go to that road, but after some cajoling he relented.
I have some minor complaints about the room also. The bathroom tap was defective, the set top box was defective, but was promptly replaced.

100+ years old property but well maintained. Very helpful staff. Manager Mr Shailandra was very courteous and cooperative. Cooking was nice and homely.
A little fix here and there is needed.

character and history. huge rooms with lovely views,
Service was shambolic. Lots of staff for a small number of guests but rooms were not serviced. No hot water for a day.

The property size, heritage look, huge rooms.
The place and building were superb, but I would like to comment on the following points
1. The Staff should put a lot of effort into cleaning the rooms and stack up the essentials in the bathroom and room.
2. The breakfast should be available from 7:30 am onwards and not 9 am
3. The approach road is very narrow, and that makes things worse as it is difficult to reach the property.
4. A little more maintenance work is required.

Other tgan the staff there is nothing that we liked. Will describe an honest accessment in the next section
a) The building shown in the photos is NOT the one where we were given a room. So watch out
b) The hotel is old and very poorly maintained
c) Its located in the middle of nowhere with very narrow road for more than a mile
d) No heating whatsoever but staff gave us a heater but plug point was more than 12 feet from bed
e) The bathroom was terrible and dirty .... 😡
We gave an honest opinion about the place to the staff

The courteous staffs
The food which is exeptional
Great focus on providing guests the best service
Location is far off the mall. But it all depends on personal preference.
Also request the management to carry out a scheduled maintenance excersise.I prefer not to highlight minor stuffs which i can manage with, but may not be same with others.

If anyone wants to spend some quiet time out from the busy city life, this is the best place to stay. The calmness away from the city, accompanied by Kanchanjangha mountain, makes you feel satisfied with your stay in Darjeeling.
Time spent in the palace was peaceful, and all the staffs were remarkably docile.
We sure will visit again 😁.
Honestly, there is nothing we didn't like or to be hassle about, but I think the suit where we stayed, a little dusting, can do better. Overall we are satisfied with our stay here.

Ambience and the people of the Residency, especially the Manager - are very cordial and approachable. The manager takes cares of all the requirements of the boarders.
The location is not good as compare to the Mall Road. The approach of the place is very narrow. Two days we got stuck while returning back from Mall Road after 9 pm.
5.0
The location and view very beautiful. Hospitality is very good.
Very good place to stay.
2.5
No variety about food. Staff are not professional. At this price other very good options are available.
Locational disadvantage. You have to spend Rs.600 per day while going to main place. Room tariff is very high as compared to facilities and at this price you get other good hotels near to the central place
