We stayed for 11 days. We knew that Darjeeling in the winter is cold, what we didn't know is that the hotel supplied practically useless heaters initially, and only after a big fight with the owner's son were we provided with a 1/2 decent heater. We we not told that the hotel supplies hot water bottles until after 5 days of freezing in our bed and sleeping in sweaters, breathing out steam. Even the bathroom was too cold to take showers! The hotel offers all kinds of taxi services and tours, but at 3X, (at least!) what we paid in the street, and we know that we were still over paying at that. The rooms were never cleaned, we got 2 gray towels (formerly white) that were replaced only after we asked. This hotel should not be open in the winter unless they make some major improvements.
