Hi, me and my huby and another couple friends visited Darj on 11th Apr 2013. After lot of deliberation I booked 2 rooms (104 & 105) in the annex building of DTL (Darjeeling Tourist Lodge) since we did not get any vacancy in the main building. It was far better than we heard and assumed. The wooden floored rooms are... More

I went with my family (Wife & 10 yr old daughter) to stay for 4 nights in this property. The location of the property is one of the best in Darjeeling. If one is staying in the main building, especially in the rooms at the left hand side, you can actually touch Kanchenjunga ( if the weather permits). And the... More

I will speak from my perspective which is as an occupant of a double bedroom in the main building Strongly satisfies 1. Views of Kanchenchunga :... More

We have just returned from a 3-night trip at the Darjeeling Tourist Lodge. The location is nice, the rooms are big & spacious and the food,( at least the standard Bengali fare) is tasty, if limited (if you're looking for other cuisines, Glenary's is the place). The problem is with the callous attitude of the staff. We had bookings for... More

This place defeats the notion that Govt run lodges are best avoided . A few quick points : 1. One of the best locations in Darjeeling if not the best. 2. Barely 5 mins walking distance to the Mall ( at a leisurely pace). 3. Amazing views of the mountains ( Kanchenjunga / Kanchendzonga). 4. Spacious garden to idle away... More
