Mayfair Darjeeling

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in January 2021. Highly recommend for those who wants to stay close to the nature and with all the amenities at the same time. Food was good, wide range of delicacies available at their restaurant and the Douglas bar. Location wise, it takes hardly 10 mins by walk to get to the widely popular Darjeeling mall. Overall five star from my side.

Booking:- 25th Dec till 30th Dec 2020 Deluxe Room in Map plan. Offered a very good package when compared with other hotels in Darjeeling plus additional amenities. Location:- 2 entry point, both comes out to Mall road. If you are taking your own car then a steep road leads to parking or else when going for a walk take the stairs (lift under construction) directly to Mall road. Just 5 mins walk from Chowrasta. Definitely 5*. Amenities:- Lots and lots, may be best in Darjeeling. Play-room/Spa/Children-room/Bar/Lounge/open-Lawn with sitting arrangements/Temple and many more. Definitely best in Darjeeling. Just simply - 5*. Cleanliness:- Ahead of any other hotel in Darjeeling. I found them changing the room-bedding/towel every day. Restaurant sanitized and cleaned very frequently or say every hour. Lounge/Lawn/Paly-room maintained very clean. Simply 5*. Staff:- Nice, polite and welcoming. For Staff 5*. Rooms:- Here is a catch. Even all Deluxe rooms are not of same size and not with same amenities as fireplace/open-sit-out/etc. They removed bathtub from Executive and Deluxe rooms only, thats not accepted to me. But room service like hot-water bag, room-heater at night impressed me a lot. Just keep in mind thought you pay the same price; you may not be guaranteed the best room of that category. For room 3*. Food:- As I was on MAP, I found buffet breakfast and dinner. For dinner during 5 consecutive nights I didnt find any repetition of menu although for breakfast there were repetition. For breakfast they serve bread-basket, fresh-juices, most kind of South Indian food like Dosa/Vada/Idli, puri-sabzi, cereals choice with milk, etc. But when in Darjeeling, I was looking for English style non-veg breakfast which was missing. But dinner impressed me wide varieties of choices and no repetition. They used to serve combination of Indian/Chinese both veg/non-veg. Good collection of dessert items as well. Food 5*. Overall stay is fantastic and the best I had ever in Darjeeling. I used to visit Darjeeling in 1 or 2 years. I will definitely catch up with them on my next visit, as once you are here it will be tough to go back to other hotels in Darjeeling. 5* for the stay.

Loved the stay at Mayfair. We stayed in the family room which has two connecting rooms. The kids enjoyed the fireplace and we used it on both the nights. We loved the ambience of the hotel - the lobby, the Douglas bar, and other common areas. Very rich in decor and very Victorian. We were celebrating my wifes bday and the hotel baked a small cake specially for her. We celebrated her bday with drinks in the Douglas bar and we were very well taken care of by Praveen. We had the whole bar to ourselves and we had a few drinks there, the kids had mock tails, we cut the cake and danced to Bollywood music. Felt like a private party! The dinner buffet was very good and lots of options. Again very well taken care of by Kundan and the staff. Warm rotis and attentive service. Same with the morning breakfast. All in all - a great place to stay in Darjeeling. Only thing is that the place doesnt have a view of the Kanchenjunga. You have to walk 5 mins from the main entrance for the view.

The picturesque Mayfair Darjeeling is a highly recommended place to stay in the hill station. Well-equipped classy rooms, good service and a wide array of tasty cuisine is what you can expect to be pampered with. I had the privilege of meeting the exceptionally pro-active and efficient Resort Manager of the property (Mr. Sabyasachi Mohanty) - his warmth, hospitality and effort to make every guest feel special makes it even more worthwhile to spend your vacation at this hill resort. Full marks to Mr. Mohanty and his team - a must-visit for everyone!!

Memorable stay. Service is exceptional - Poonam, Giri, Praveen, Manzil and others too. Chef Suresh food is even more exceptional. Great place and highly recommended. The rooms and common place is very well kept .
