    property is beautiful, surrounding landscape is mesmerizing surrounded by mountains on all sides. From one side of the periphery one can see the darjeeling mal. A Mahakal temple is a two minutes walk from the hotel. Downwards is the observatory area where the stunning view of sunrise and Mt Kanchenjangha will give you an awesome experience.

    Good Stay

    ranjit k.

    Windamere is a colonial property, made long back, located in prime location but Kanchenjunga isn't visible. Ventilation is a major issue in the end September as it's quite hot. You can't open the window as monkeys enter in the room and almost snatched the mobile. Excellent hospitality and food. I think it will be better, if they put on the window grill to protect from the monkey. Visit in the winter should be ideal as there's no fan in the room.

    tapan k.

    Windamere transports you to the British colonial era- the decors, furnitures, fixtures, meticulously done rooms, curated gardens.... every inch of the property oozes heritage. I feel the only deterrent was the breakfast. Windamere, being a 150 years old British establishment who prides itself in maintaining the colonial charm should not indulge into trying to cook dhosa-idli, chola-batura or luchi-puri. None of them tasted authentic whereas the continental part was as good as it could be. So they should concentrate more on their specialties skill rather than trying to make everything for everyone!

    Windamere Hotel - A Colonial Heritage

    Thank you for this thoughtful review. We’re delighted that our colonial décor, curated gardens, and heritage atmosphere resonated with you. 🙏 I’m sorry the breakfast fell short—especially the Indian items you mentioned. Our intention was to offer variety, but you’re right: authenticity matters more than breadth. We’re already: Refocusing on our strengths with classic continental breakfast done impeccably, and Reviewing the Indian selection to keep it limited but authentic (standardized recipes, better technique, and tighter quality checks). Your feedback helps us improve exactly where it counts. We hope to welcome you back for a classic Windamere breakfast—fresh bakes, eggs-to-order, preserves, and good coffee—done the way it should be. Warm regards, — Team Windamere Hotel / Wuthering Bites

    located at the primest of location just beside the Mall, easily accessible still by car. rooms are well maintained, food takes you back to the days of the British Raj as well as the modern tastes. the serene beauty of the environment with the colonial hangover embedded in the very structure of the establishment is an experience in itself. staff are very courteous and prompt and share anecdotes of famous dwellers of the days gone by..
