My kids had a great time, we had gone there for lunch, while us adults enjoyed our lunch our kids enjoyed playing the piano at the music room. Great ambience. Services were really good! Continental food was good. Shall visit again.

Very disappointed with the Christmas dinner. We went for a family dinner. Half of us were not served the 7 course meal. They only served the appetizers to the half of the group but claimed that they served all of us all the main courses and literally forced us to pay the entire amount of the dinner by holding us hostages and threatening us by coming to our hotel. Completely anti social behavior. The food and hospitality manager lied to the hotel manager in front of us by stating that all courses were served. They didn’t even give us water. They didn’t serve the kids and the elderly but claimed that there was no food left in the kitchen as all were served. I believe that they didn’t have enough food and hence lied but forced us to pay. Never going back. Stay away from this place and the people. Even their own security apologized to us for the management’s behavior and asked us to call the police.

Conclusion: I’m not that happy with the hotel. I understand it’s an old colonial hotel but not everything needs to be old. I believe it could be better maintained. Likes: - I like the concept and decorations. - The girl who showed us around the main building was lovely. - The shared sitting area/bar was a good place to meet and socialise with other guests and it’s a huge space with many rooms you can choose to sit in. - Fireplace was nice. It kept us warm. - Easy to walk to main attractions. Dislikes: - The room we got seemed to not be maintained very well. There’s mold on the walls even if they tried to fix or cover it with white paint or something. - Wifi was not working when I sit next to windows in my room😅 - A bathtub was leaking so when we showered the whole bathroom was flooded. - I know this might not be that important but there were no bathrobe :( - We asked about lighting up the fireplace in our room while we were hanging out with other local guests in the room and the hotel guy was lighting up theirs. We were told it was not complimentary. So the guest were curious if she needed to pay, the hotel guy said no (actually I don’t know the whole conversation since they were speaking in hindi) That was when I was not very happy. It seemed kind of dishonest to me. - Reception said to be working till midnight, no they’re not. I called them at around 11:30 (I know it was late but if you’re not gonna be there to assist till midnight then don’t say so) because a hairdryer was broken. No-one picked up. I had to walk to the reception and saw that it was closed. Nobody was there, except 2 guys that were about to go home. I informed them and they were able to give me a new one. Again, may seems like not a big deal. But I just washed my hair so I was pretty upset that it happened because I wanted to go to bed.

My spouse and I stayed at the Windamere hotel between 24th Dec - 28th Dec. The property is quite beautiful, tranquil and has an old-world colonial charm. It offers a scenic view of Darjeeling and is close to the bustling Mall road. The staff is friendly, polite and attentive. The only downside to our otherwise pleasant experience was the chaotic and thoroughly disorganised experience of the Christmas gala dinner hosted at the hotel. It was one of the reasons we had decided to book the hotel, however, that evening fell short of our expectations. The staff struggled to keep up with the demands of a bustling crowd which included guests not staying at the hotel in addition to in-house guests. The staff was attending to an extremely raucous and large group of non-hotel guests throughout the evening with little to no attention towards the in-house guests. The lack of coordination was also evident in the haphazard arrangement of tables and shoddy dinner service. Live music, meant to add to the festive cheer, was quite bad and unnecessarily loud. We were thoroughly put off by this experience and left midway through the dinner. We were quite disappointed to pay a premium for this rather forgettable and subpar Christmas dinner. If you’re someone who’s looking for a bit of British decadence and can afford their higher fares, we would definitely recommend the overall experience of this hotel. However, please steer clear of staying here during Christmas week/ during season.
