This is a heritage hotel in an atmospheric town - and the two complement each other with a sense of history. The rooms are pretty good although the fittings can be from an age gone by. The hot water is very hot....The service and food in the restaurant is good and the evening piano player tinkles away for you. Gin... more

I do small tours from CapeTown, South africa. While in Darjeeling one of my women became very ill. The group had to train back to Delhi and leave her behind with another woman from the group. We had been upgraded to this lovely, but expensive hotel by my agent in Delhi. The 2 extra days were going to be very... more

Excellent place to stay with the family. They have quaint places like a "snuggery" where you can cosy up with family opposite a wood or coal fire and watch TV. A library with a limited selection also offers a great place to sit back, relax with a warm cup of tea or a drink. The food is a fixed menu,... more

If you desire to see the Himalayas without being a avid trekker or hiker. Then you could enjoy an amazing & breathtaking views of the Himalayas on a clear day from the lap of luxury right from the heart of Darjeeling city by being at the terrace of the Windamere hotel in Darjeeling. This is one hotel which should be... more

Windamere is a truly Heritage Hotel with all the charm and class of the English Tea Estate. Each aspect of the room and the hotel have been carefully created to retain the grandeur of the years gone by. The rooms are great, comfortable, luxuious with a fresh fire being kindled every evening and hot water bags to make that soft... more

The hotel is on top of the hill where Darjeeling is located. The views are magnificient. The experience at this hotel is highlighted and made special by everything that is old British. The room, the tea room, and other buildings have a wonderful British Colonial charm. The room is spacious, so is the bathroom, and drinking water is provided. Service... more

This hotel really is in a time warp. Go before it fades. The beds were super comfy. We had hot water from our own hot water boiler and as much tea and cake as we wanted. Despite comments in guide books we thoroughly enjoyed all the food. Great staff - they advised us that a trip to Tiger Hill was... more

I simply loved t his hotel. I had been advised by an Indian based tour company to book at another hotel in the town, but I had read such wonderful reviews in the international newspapers and travel magazines, that I decided to book directly from their website. I loved the food; the feeling of being with "family" and the way... more
