Deolo Viewpoint Tours

We stayed in the British Suite room that faces the courtyard and driveway on the first floor. The suite was fantastic! You have two fireplaces. The bed is large and very comfortable. We also had a heated mattress. In the sitting room there is a decent sized flatscreen TV, small fridge, and plenty of seating with armchairs and a sofa. The views from the sitting room are marvellous! The whole suite has lots of natural sunlight and is very airy with high ceilings. The building was built when the British were in Darjeeling. So naturally it’s not as warm as a modern building. However, you shouldn’t book this room if you want a super modern hotel experience. This is more about going back in time and experiencing Darjeeling 100 years ago. As the suite has the original decor. The only drawback is the bathrooms but this is something across the whole hotel, even in the more modern buildings. The bathrooms are very dated and in need of replacing. There is no centrally heated water. Each room has its own boiler. These boilers are old and can break sometimes. This is a common feature in Darjeeling at a lot of hotels though. So don’t be put off about booking but just be aware of what you’ll get at a lot of the hotels. The staff are some of the best we’ve ever had at a hotel. They’re always checking how your stay is going and they are super helpful. When our boiler stopped working they sorted it very quickly. The food was also very delicious. We would highly recommend staying here!
