Stayed for three nights in one of the newer rooms upstairs and had a pleasant view over the Gardens. Rooms are very spacious with a nice verandah and bedding extremely comfortable....not ironing board firmness. Enjoyed afternoon Tea in the gardens and really felt relaxed. Breakfast was substantial and Dinner excellent...... Had washing done which came back very clean and beautifully... More

Summary recommendation: a suite in the new building was preferable to a room in the heritage building for us. Eating breakfast in the dining room, lunch in a restaurant in town, and using room service for dinner worked best for us for meals. It had been quite rainy before we arrived at Himalayan Hotel, so as we drove through the... More

We recently spent five nights at the Himalayan Hotel, and one of us became ill just after we arrived. The staff took wonderful care of us, including arranging for a physician to do a house call on Sunday morning, fetching medications, and arranging transportation, all flawlessly. We truly felt well-cared-for from start to finish, and we were treated with genuine... More

This hotel is very good for scenic view of Kalimpong and the ambience is very silent. Rooms were very spacious. The balcony is very good for scenic view. The room could be maintained better for the cost they charge. Breakfast included in my package but it had nothing for vegetarians. Restaurant was clean. There is also some decent space for... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in October 2012.Very impressed with the lovely old house and beautiful gardens and view of the Himalayas. This place has some amazing history. We stayed in one of the newer bulidings. The room was nice with a lovely balcony but the one thing that brought it down was the bathroom. Had hot water but... More

The hotel is maintained well but could improve. The British style dining room is excellent. The food served is excellent. We stayed three nights and had three varieties of food served to perfection---Continental, Tibetan and Nepali. It is an excellent place to enjoy a laid back holiday. On a clear day, Kanchenjunga view is excellent.

This historic building is badly in need to maintenance and upgrading to preserve its undoubted charm and character. Rooms are furnished in 30s style, if that recent and are an impressive bit of nostalgia. However, this alone does not make up for lack of support from the owners to what I suspect to be a hard pressed staff team who... More

Beautiful place with cottages, gardens and loads of history. Its a short walk to the main Kalimpong market and church (10 -15 minutes) Rooms are average and could do with upgradation. Late evening had a bite in the lawns. The snacks were ok. Did not eat lunch or dinner in the hotel. If you are looking for luxury do not... More
