The staff is polite and very nice. I am giving it 4 stars only because of the dining room. Staff though very polite was not prepared for breakfast. The chairs were stained and dirty. When we checked in we got a room overlooking the courtyard with a full blast party going on. Front Desk was great in moving us to a quieter room. So we appreciate that. If the dining room can be cleaned property I would give 5 stars

had a pleasant stay -this being our second in the last 5 years -a lot has changed including the icon who helmed and kept this property glittering notwithstanding its age....what hasn't changed -and first about that it the warmth and personal attentions specially the ever present and ever attentive Mr.Badal...let me now come to what seems to have changed -the experience in the Dining room -on the last day of the trip, having gone for breakfast and waited sufficently -I had to finally ask a attendant why it was taking so long to at least approach a guest(specially since there were only 4-5 groups occupying an otherwise empty Sunday breakfast area) -to my surprise -the attendant raised his voice to a level audible to others that "you need to wait -you can't just expect service the moment you come in", he walked away in a huff and in a local language easy to follow and clearly audible -expressed this to a fellow attendant -as a "punishment" for "ruffling" the attendant -my request(oats,eggs, tea) came after a long wait and 2-3 reminders -questions: a)is it not ***datory for guests to be attended within a reasonable time period of being seated?b)can the attendant who may be having a bad day show his frustration on a customer...Not "Elgin", not the "Oberoi DNA" that it carried. Mr.Badal while apologetic to this incident couldnt undo the bad taste it left behind..

This hotel is very well situated in Darjeeling near the Mall. The outside is very attractive and the common areas of the hotel are very colonial and full of character. We stayed in a heritage room (no 59) . Unfortunately, when referring to rooms, the word heritage means old and run down. The decor was poor, the furniture stained and the bathroom very dated. No safe or fridge. Really, not fit for renting. I believe the premium rooms have been updated - I suggest worth the extra money.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights as part of a trip a deal holiday with premium option. This beautiful heritage hotel is immaculately kept with both the rooms and bathrooms clean and well appointed. The only disappointment was that the room did not have a fridge. The food choices were varied and of good quality. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the hotel had beautiful views over the valley. The hotel is just a short walk to the main square and other attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would stay here again if the opportunity arose.

We stayed at the Premium Attic Room in the New Tenzing Nor*** Wing. Like all Elgin Group hotels, The Elgin Darjeeling has the Old World Charm of a bygone era of gracious living. The staff are gracious and very helpful. The location is just below the Mall Road and Chowrasta.

This beautiful heritage property belonging to the Maharaja of Cooch Bihar is the perfect space for a cozy enriching stay at the heart of Darjeeling. The staff are courteous and give you the best services. The premium rooms are opulent and the dining hall vintage. Plus point is that Mall Road is just a 5 minute walk away.

Everyone knows abt Elgin in Darjeeling, thus safe to say it’s a landmark and pretty old but still well maintained. Wooden flooring is something one needs to get used to. Rooms are ok in size with only left side rooms having city view so choose wisely. Food is good but service at restaurant is slow to arrive
