Detailed Reviews
Arun G wrote a review Dec 2024
4.0 of 5 bubbles
Our first trip to Darjeeling was truly memorable, and staying at this hotel added to the experience. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the Kanchenjunga peaks right from our room. Waking up to the golden hues of sunrise reflecting on the snow-capped mountains was magical and worth every moment.

The location of the hotel is ideal, close to the main attractions yet tucked away enough to offer peace and tranquility. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, ensuring our needs were met throughout our stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making us feel at home.

The food served at the hotel was delicious, with a good mix of local and continental dishes. We especially loved the hearty breakfast to kickstart our mornings before exploring Darjeeling.

The hotel also can arrange local tours and provided great recommendations, which enhanced our overall experience. Whether it was visiting the iconic Darjeeling Mall Road, the tea gardens, or riding the Toy Train, every moment was delightful.

We highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Darjeeling, especially for its stunning views and warm hospitality. It made our first trip unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return!

We stayed with Sumi Vista in the first week of November, Had a pleasant stay. The property is well-maintained,

We stayed in a Premium Double room, The view from our room was beautiful, luckily the weather was clear and we could see Mt. Kanchanjunga most of the day. Can't say bout the views from the other rooms.

The staff is caring, especially the staff at the kitchen and restaurant, they were super sweet and helpful. Special mention to Amrit, Sumit, Chumla, Nilesh, Afshana, Dipankar and Roman. They took good care of us whenever we had our meals there.
The food was good no complaints there we had our breakfast and dinner there and the food was tasty always. The menu is not elaborate but adequate.

The property location is a little away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads, though it's a short distance from mall road reaching the property on foot takes a toll even to fit persons, it's very steep. No decent options to eat nearby unless you want to make the trek to the main markets on foot or through a taxi

The road in front of the property is narrow, you really can't park your vehicle in front.

The worst hospitality ever experienced in Darjeeling. The location they should mention that cant be reached by a walk with lauguage. Their standard room should have basic standards as there is no ventialation windows or sunlight, it feels like spending 3 days in closed box. Yet no room cleaning came by and done the job. Had to go to desk and ask for towels and water bottles.

Had broken coffee mug and spilled coffee due that had to use bath towel as there were no tissues in room. At checkout day, they charged 500rs for face towel which was itself not worth that much. When I asked for tissue they informed they ran out of it at this moment.

Went out late evening and came around 11:30PM , we literally were outside knocking the main entrance to get in as it’s locked. Called reception desk but it wasn’t reachable due to operational hours. They didn’t have any emergency number to reach out. After 15 min, left outside in 4degree and a guy came and opened the door for us and informed that gate closed at 11PM. No one has informed from Desk.

Good luck for those who has upcoming booking for Sumi Vista TV tower Darjeeling.

It has breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga, provided you wake up early and visit their rooftop restaurant before 7.15 am, anytime later will leave you with blanket of clouds covering the entire panoramic view. The receptionist Ms Akriti dressed in the traditional attire, has a very pleasing personality, a beautiful smile and she will ensure you'll get all possible assistance during your stay. Mr Prashant Tamang from Housekeeping will ensure all supplies are available in the room. The restaurant on the fifth has Prashant to serve you with all the heart and Ms. Tenzi in the morning dressed in black helps you out with selecting breakfast, offering wonderful insights of the market area, places to visit and serving a wonderful coffee. Thanks for providing a pleasant stay.

The best hotel I have ever been.
Every staff in the hotel right from the security guard to the manager gives more than 100% of service.

The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, reflecting a high standard of culinary expertise. Each meal was a culinary delight, and I was thoroughly impressed with the variety and quality of the menu.

Thank you for creating a welcoming environment where every detail is carefully considered, and guests are treated with the utmost care. I look forward to the opportunity to stay at (Sumi vista tv tower) again in the future and will certainly recommend it to friends and colleagues.

The hotel does not have parking space , the driver will just stop at the gate and u have to just rush in with ur luggage. Rooms are small and not worth 6-8 k at all(during peak season). Food is good with average options in Breakfast/ Dinner. Washroom had leeches that may be due to rainy season but that must be taken care by the hotel staff. Staff is cooperative especially pranav who took very good care of us at the restaurant. They also have cafe 365 at the top from where u get a good view of the darjeeling. Overall an average hotel. Go for it only after exhausting other better options.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel with our family for three days. The room service was top-notch, and the entire staff was incredibly responsive to our needs. Chef Amir and Tenzi deserve special mention for providing us with delicious food and exceptional service. They truly made our dining experience memorable.

However, the one drawback was the hotel's location. Although it's advertised as being 750 meters from Mall Road, the steep incline of the road makes it a challenging walk, especially for families with young children or elderly members.

Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations. Just be prepared for the hike up to the hotel, or plan for alternative transportation.
