Great place to stay
Pros:

We stayed for 8 days in this hotel. The room was very spacious, quiet and clean. Housekeeping did a very hood job. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom is okay but after shower the whole bathroom is flooded. Breakfast is tasteful and good. We just don’t know why it’s necessary to play very loud music during breakfast. Food during lunch was fresh and very good. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

One negative point: Wifi is very slow and inconsistent

Comfortable stay
Pros:

The location, cleanliness.

Cons:

Nothing important. But some of the starters in the restaurant have a smaller portion than I was used to. Not that it caused a problem.

Pros:

Man wird mit einem Tee begrüßt, die Zimmer sind groß und hübsch, das Bett sehr bequem und mit der zusätzlichen Wolldecke auch schnell warm. Die Aussicht auf die Berge im 4. Stock ist phänomenal. Außerdem bietet das Restaurant qualitativ hochwertige Speisen an. Man wird sehr zuvorkommend behandelt. Zum Abschied bekam ich eine Packung Darjeeling Tee, was ich sehr reizend fand.

Cons:

Es ist insgesamt immer kühl im Restaurant, sogar an der Rezeption arbeitet man mit Jacke. Die Vorhänge lassen zu viel Licht durch, da die Sonne morgens hineinscheint. Der Preis pro Übernachtung ist für indische Verhältnisse vielleicht ein klein wenig zu hoch.

Good, but could be better
Pros:

Overall very good, great location, excellent view and nice interior.

Cons:

The restaurant is so so, you can get better food for a lower price in the restaurants around.

The hot water is sufficient for a quick shower for one person, then you have to wait till the boiler heats up again.

During winter, the room can be quite cold, and there is no heating or air conditioning.

I was recommended a tea factory, which the staff assured me would be open on Sunday. When I got there by a taxi, it was closed just as on every Sunday.
