Stayed for two nights in a newer room. It had its own little sitting room with a fireplace (which we did not need), and a wonderful balcony where we could sit and watch the early morning birds, with a great view of the mountains in the distance. The food was very good and helpings generous; the vegetarian member of our... More

Summary recommendation: a suite in the new building was preferable to a room in the heritage building for us. Eating breakfast in the dining room, lunch in a restaurant in town, and using room service for dinner worked best for us for meals. It had been quite rainy before we arrived at Himalayan Hotel, so as we drove through the... More

The staff took wonderful care of us, including arranging for a physician to do a house call on Sunday morning, fetching medications, and arranging transportation, all flawlessly. We truly felt well-cared-for from start to finish, and we were treated with genuine... More

The room could be maintained better for the cost they charge. Breakfast included in my package but it had nothing for vegetarians. Restaurant was clean. There is also some decent space for... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in October 2012.Very impressed with the lovely old house and beautiful gardens and view of the Himalayas. This place has some amazing history. We stayed in one of the newer bulidings. The room was nice with a lovely balcony but the one thing that brought it down was the bathroom. Had hot water but... More

The hotel is maintained well but could improve. The British style dining room is excellent. The food served is excellent. We stayed three nights and had three varieties of food served to perfection---Continental, Tibetan and Nepali. It is an excellent place to enjoy a laid back holiday. On a clear day, Kanchenjunga view is excellent.
