    Hot water was not available for 24 hours and the flow of the water and continuity of temperature was uneven which made it difficult to sustain inside the bathroom in the cold climate.

    The heritage nature of the property and its relics are well preserved and upkept.

    The management can work on the aesthetics to enhance the majesty of the place.

    Wonderful property to have the heritage experience. But, as the place is secluded and is quite old, it gives out a scary vibe. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Great hospitality.

    The linen should be white, not printed. The upholstery needs to be refurbished. Indian Breakfast not good.

    The view of Kanchanjangha from the terrace was just awesome. The approach road to property is not good, but the sprawling gardens are good. Very large rooms well furnished with antique furniture. For people who like being away from madding crowds of Darjeeling, close to nature, it’s location is good. Overall, very good value for money.

    The common areas are ill-maintained. The carpets and sofas need some serious cleaning. Breakfast arrangement can be improved.

    The view of Kanchenjunga from this property is simply stunning! The rooms are really spacious. Has such a royal charm to this place! Beds and bathrooms were very clean.

    A Different Side of Darjeeling

    The surrounding garden needs a lot of upkeep, mattresses need to be changed as some of us found it tad difficult to sleep.

    It is lovely place to stay I. If you want to be away from the maddening crowd but surrounded by history. The approach road is bad and narrow, but the property which is adjacent to the Raj Bari is huge. The garden around the place need some landscaping and maintenance. Our group of 9 were the only ones there so the whole property was ours. Food was good and very reasonably priced. A special shout out to Kshitij. He was a complete sweetheart who took exceptional care of our requirements and comfort. Rinchen was a lovelybhost who welcomed us in a very traditional manner and also made sure that we were looked after well. He even opened the Raj Bari for us to enjoy viewing the place from the inside. I loved my experience and recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the other side of Darjeeling.

    Excellent property. The approach road is a challenge. Really worth every penny. The view of Kanchenjunga is absolutely stunning. Staff courteous. However the property is a little run down with understaffing and lack of room heating arrangement

    Nice warm stay

    Broken furniture and sofas, very much need of maintenance, because I was upgraded to upper floor against my booking on ground floor, I would think if I had to pay the price of the upper floor, it would not be value for money. The ground floor room appeared to be very dark and noisy. The front garden is open to public and therefore very noisy with children from the locality. It is a part of the property though. Our room was very cold even for October end but the electric blankets in the bed saved the night.

    Large rooms on the upper floor as we were upgraded, very hospitable staff who tried their best to make our stay comfortable, good home cooked food at reasonable prices, great view of Kangchenjunga peak, The property is pet friendly.

    A slight improvement on the menu is much needed. Particularly the set breakfast and the Chinese chef needs a replacement.

    My recent stay at Rani Kothi (Burdwan Palace) in Darjeeling was truly delightful. Nestled in a peaceful corner of the town, this 250 years old heritage property offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. The ambience is serene, with a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and lush greenery. The rooms were spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, with wooden floors and vintage furniture that added a nostalgic touch. The staff was courteous, always ready to help with a smile. I particularly would like to appreciate Mojesh for his prompt room service and the everlasting smile he had on his face. Overall, I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. I would recommend Rani Kothi to anyone looking for a quiet retreat with a heritage feel in the heart of Darjeeling.
