The approach to the Hotel put us off. Through a crowded market road one slipped into a side lane to reach the premise. The entrance & parking area were inadequate. The reception area was cramped. The room allotted to us was not big enough for one person leave alone for a couple. We understood the mishap was caused by some... More

The best place you can be when at Kalimpong! The rooms are nice and spacious and are done in the Brit style. The hotel has a beautiful sit out and a garden, which is the prime attraction. It has a nice lounge bar where one can laze around and enjoy good music for hours. The tariff however includes the food,... More

We had just had a horrible experience related to lizards and insects in Elgin Silver Oaks, in Kalimpong, about which we told the receptionist here. After some minutes in our room, which was very comfortable and beautifully furnished, we heard a family of rats having a nice conversation behind the wall near the fireplace. We could not believe that it... More

The Elgin Silver Oaks carries on the Elgin chain theme of British Victorian design and service -- very clean, a nice Indian menu with an especially good breakfast, Wifi in the lobby, nice grounds for relaxing when the weather is right. It is small, however, and most of the rooms and other spaces feel a bit cramped. The registration desk... More

This was the last Elgin and would have to be very good after Mt Pandim. The standard of service was excellent particularly when we asked for early breakfast for our departure day.... not many hotels would be willing and able to offr a cooked breakfast at 0530hrs!! The property is a lot smaller than its namesakes elsewhere so we would... More

We stayed a the Elgin Kalimpong in Oct 2012 after having tavelled to Gangtok and Pelling. The resort does justice to the name of Elgin but the rooms were smaller. We got a wall facing room initially which was changed next day to a garden facing one. The gardens although well maintained are not big and do not give the... More

Well maintained property with a flavor of the British Era. Food is good and service is excellent. Two dogs in the property made our stay even more enjoyable. Wi-Fi service is weak and does not work well. I recommend the property.

We tayed here as we had our summer home in Kalimpong many years ago. The gardens in Kalimpong are still beautiful. However the resturants are not of the same quality. Some of the wait staff just do not want to be there and are surly. Dr: Grahams homes are still helping the poorer people by giving them a good education.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Elgin Silver Oaks was built in 1930 and once belonged to the prominent architect Frederick Desraj who built the old Teesta Bridge. It is now converted into a luxury hill resort in the Himalayas. Lounging in the landscaped gardens in a profusion of colour, one is treated to breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The natural decor is characteristic in the imposing Kanchenjungha which can be seen on a clear day, blooming petunias and asters, the serrated violet edges of iris, iridescent butterflies flitting through colourful azaleas, drooping geraniums, proud orchids and heaven, temporarily descends on earth. Sitting in one of the quaint gazebos, the tea seems to be flavoured by the refreshing winds of the Himalayas. ... more   less
