Sinclairs Darjeeling

Sinclairs Darjeeling

10/10 Excellent
"Sinclair's is an older, well-maintained, and attractive property, with beautiful views of Kanchenjunga. The street leading up to it is steep, and then are stairs leading up to the hotel and more to the rooms (no lift), so you need to be all right with that. (We're over 70 and had no problem.) The staff is lovely and go out of their way to help you. I'd single out Bragya--I hope I have her name right--for exceptional service, helping us find a taxi to Bagdogra at a heavily touristed festival time. The restaurant serves excellent food, including an ample and varied breakfast spread--and the staff is attentive. Our room was spacious and served our needs perfectly. We hope we'll return next year, and I've heard there's talk of a lift coming!"
