"Room was large and comfortable. Only drawback was the number of flights of stairs necessary to get to it. Hotel was very convenient to get to the Mall and it was on a road that transport could drive up to the front door which is often not the case with other hotels in Darjeeling."

"Sinclair's is an older, well-maintained, and attractive property, with beautiful views of Kanchenjunga. The street leading up to it is steep, and then are stairs leading up to the hotel and more to the rooms (no lift), so you need to be all right with that. (We're over 70 and had no problem.) The staff is lovely and go out of their way to help you. I'd single out Bragya--I hope I have her name right--for exceptional service, helping us find a taxi to Bagdogra at a heavily touristed festival...

"Sterling Darjeeling is a great place to stay for a trip to the area. The location is much better than anything close to the mall. You can avoid all the traffic and noise of central Darjeeling. Views of the valley and surround mountains are great. The staff is very helpful. If you’re traveling from the airport, you will get to the property much faster (hours) than any place close to the mall because of all the traffic even though it’s only a few kilometers away. I would highly recommend Sterling...

It is an excellent place to stay if you are not looking for a classical style "Hotel". It has a very warm and ready-to-please Staff - only 8 of them to manage all ten rooms. It is a heritage Property with all the quaintness and old-world charm in terms of the building and furnishings etc. It has a feeling of a large Homestay with very personalised Service.
Recently renovated and therefore still needs some "De-bugging"

Great location, friendly helpful staff, comfortable rooms but are now showing their age but still at a good standard for India. Restaurant are very pleasant serviced by attentive staff.

Charming hotel with excellent and attentive staff, situated within a stones throw from Darjeeling's mall.
Rooms are well equipped and even during the bitter winter, they are kept comfortable by providing in room heaters and hot water bottles arrive along with the turn down service.

Fairly spartan hotel. Exterior, elevator were fairly dilapidated. Reception was not air conditioned, so I was a bit worried, but room had air conditioning. Furnishing was old but functional. Bathroom was serviceable, but shower head did not work properly. Considering the price, I was not expecting anything better. Good place to crash for a night whilst in transit. I wouldn't want an extended stay here.

The property location has not satisfied me. Although the distance from mal is not much but it is not walkable. Even stairs are not there to visit mal or market by walk.

Perfect place to stay with family. Good and talkative staff. Over all nice experience. Just one suggestion can offer option for dinner who have booked through various site.
