It was really nice and comfortable stay, above all the hotel is exactly infront of the Darjeeling station, and from the window snowy mountains can be seen too.

Disappointing
This is a physically nice hotel (it is close to the railway station, or the toy train station and it overlooks a nice valley), but it has no soul. It was very cold, and the heating (which we paid for extra, by the way) was not working properly. It was very, very noisy-- because you can hear the loud train and traffic all day. No wi-fi the entire stay, and normal phones are out of range (because where the hotel is). And it was far from everything else :-( Just disappointing on all levels.

situated in heart of Darjeeling opposite trains
Only problem was the extreme spicy food. not understanding that we cant eat such. I contracted bad food poisoning. Even had to make own toast. Very slow staff in kitchen. Desk staff exemplary, very kind and considerate - as we had not anticipated the coldness of Darjeeling. Disappointing that the Zoo and HMI were closed on the only day we were there and we enjoyed the Nepali dress, but need to explain about photos etc in the tea garden. Tea garden tour very informative, excellent guide.

Disappointed
The hotel is just outside of the main area, so it takes approx. 15 mins to walk to the centre. However there is a beautiful view of the mountains and the toy train is on your doorstep. Unfortunately, the bed sheets and duvet were really dirty, there was no heating and it was freezing. When we asked for a heater, they informed us there would be a charge and then told us they didn’t haven’t any left! We organised the Tiger Hill view point morning trip and we paid at the reception in full, however after check out, the hotel kept calling us to confirm that we had paid - it was super annoying. Finally we had booked a mountain view but we got the ground floor - which was super noisy, we could hear every conversation had at reception, and we did not have a view of the mountain, just the next door building. The restaurant food and the wait staff were really nice and it was one of the good things about this hotel.

新しい綺麗なホテル
ダージリンの駅のすぐ横にある2017年開業の新しいホテルで設備も今風でした。 冬に行くとお湯の出が悪かったり毛布が置いていなかったりの不備もあるので 注意が必要です。スタッフもまだ不慣れなところもありましたが皆親切でいい人達でした。

景色は最高!
景色、最高!便利さ、最高!残念だった点:①申し込むとき「ヒルビュー」というのを見つけてこのホテルにした。到着して、その点を確認したのに、目の前に立ちはだかる崖しか見えない部屋だった。(ヒマラヤと逆の部屋)。②お湯が3分ぐらいで冷たくなるのでクレームを言ったら、部屋に来て「大丈夫」とだけ言って去った。③二人で泊まったのにタオルもアメニティーもすべて一人分。④極寒だったので、毛布を頼んだら「他の人に渡したのでない、温かいから大丈夫」とだけ言われた。⑤朝6時半チェックアウトして出発する予定を伝えたら「OK」と言ったのに、チェックアウトで受付には誰もいなかった。玄関もカギがかかっていて出られなかった。⑥Wifiが部屋からはつながらなかったので、廊下でネットをした。⑦朝のタクシーの依頼もして「OK」と言われたが、されていなかった。以上、残念な点。でも、ベランダからの朝焼けの景色は最高でした。部屋も新築のようできれいでした。スタッフはみなニコニコして人はいいのですが、ホテル業になれていないという感じでした。きっと、これから頑張ってくれると思います。
