Considering the price and category of the room my experience was fair.
Pros:

The property location was good

Cons:

The facility and hospitality should be more aligned with the value of the room.
More maintenance required for the premium rooms.
Property must provide all relevant bills to the guest at the time of checkout as they are deducting gst for each items.

Only sunshine/ sunsets were beautiful but too expensive. Property needs serious renovation.
Pros:

Family room with mountain view was good size.

Cons:

Double bed room had no view.
Bathroom was too tiny and always watery.
Too expensive
Location is alright better recommended for youngsters too many stairs and far from main road.
Very less quantity of tea/ coffee bag supplied in the room. They didn’t give extra toilet paper or towel or blankets. Everything you have to ask for.
They were asking more money for portable heater. One of the portable heater was too old and saw a spark.

Cons:

I booked a stay through Booking.com, which indicated that they accept VISA and MASTERCARD. However, when I arrived for check-in, I was told that they only accept cash. This is so disappointing for a hotel like Sumitel.

Pros:

The hotel itself is attractive and well appointed Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Coffee/bakery is fantastic. The setting is in a congested section of the Darjeeling bazaar without on site parking making arrival and departure complicated. We enjoyed our stay.

Pleasant
Pros:

room size was more than adequate. service of staff was quick. reception staff helped me arrange for cab to airport.

Cons:

hot water for shower facility not working properly. geyser system too slow, had to bathe in cold water on an extremely cold darjeeling night. even the hair dryer didn't work properly and wasn't replaced either.
for the amount of money being charged, they should atleast have heated beds.

Total Fail!
Pros:

The service at this hotel is a disaster. When booking a tour to go to Tiger Hill to watch the sunrise, we were told to wait in the street, down the hotel 3 minutes walking, from 0300 to 0400 to wait for the driver in very cold temperatures. We were later given different information. After booking the car to take us to the railway station, there was no note in the system about the booking or the payment. This was sorted out however at thst time of departure we called the driver who informed us he was never informed of the departure time. They did provide a heater in the room as there is no heat in the hotel and we were there mid December. Room was large. The restaurant is horrible, wouldnt recommend. Bad food, cant pay by card as machine doesnt work. Cant pay by cash as no change. Staff are completely not trained and for this reason i would not recommend. As full time travellers, we appreciate helpful staff and unfortuntely there werent any at this hotel with tge exception of the night desk clerk. Very nice young man.
