Rokeby Manor

We visited Rokeby along with family - wife, kids and both set of parents. Will certainly rate this as one of the best vacations we had. We were already out in the hills for 10 days prior to this, and this was our final stop before heading back to Bombay. A lovely decision, made even better with the experience that Rokeby & Landour relay. They are almost synonymous with each other. I could speak about a lot of things about our 5 days there - a historical property, great value, fantastic food, wow location, etc etc. but you can read that in other reviews. What made this special for us was the classic service of every single employee of theirs - be it from the gate keeper, to the reception, to the restaurant, to the room service - the staff had a way to make you feel at home. This was home!! A small glimpse of that was expressed one day when we stepped out for a walk around the town (it is best experienced on foot)... We walked a few minutes and all of a sudden it started to rain heavily. With parents & kids en-suite, we were suddenly scampering and figuring how to find shelter. The rain was heavy. Just when i started to try to run back to get help (we had walked about 500 meters away already), Lo behold, I see a scooter drive up fast to us in the rain. Riding it, getting drenched himself, was the staff from the reception, a young gentleman ... Sandeep Semwal !! He had seen us leave 10 minutes earlier, noticed the rain and remembered we might not have umbrellas, and took it upon himself to find us and hand us a bunch of umbrellas that he brought along!! This single incident probably best sum up the place for you... great warm hospitable place with loads of charm and proud exemplary service by folks like Sandeep. To Sandeep & Teams, thank you for making this so special. We will be back again and again, for sure.

Staying at the Rhododendron suite at Rokeby Manor was a wonderful experience. The staff are very helpful. The food at Emily's is good as also their bakery situated at sister's bazaar. Many tourists staying elsewhere too make it a point to come here atleast for a meal. Their log inn cottage (3 bedroom hall kitchen with a personal chef is recommended for any group who need 3 rooms). However the rustic rooms are too small and may not appeal to many tourists.The hotel's location at Landour area of Mussoorie is very good

Had heard so much about the place and decided to go for lunch. While the food was good, the service wasnt. Perhaps the restaurant favours their own guests. Giving the good rating only for the ambience and the food.

Rokeby Manor is the ultimate property in Mussoorie. So authentically British that it will transport you back in time to the colonial Raj period; but with all the modern comforts and excellent service. It's continental restaurant Emily's and its Head Chef Mr Manohar and his team can give a run for their monies to even the best 5-star restaurants in India. Whether you stay at Rokeby Manor & Residences or not, but if you travel to Mussoorie, you must have at least one meal at Emily's. Ratatouille, Chicken Olivetti, Grilled Fish / Cracker Fish with Mashed Potato and Vegetables are a must try. Emily's also has a quaint reading room with lots of good reads. Rokeby also has a captivating villa outside its property (near Bakehouse Landour) which is located in the most scenic part of Mussoorie with a beautiful view of the snow-capped Shivaliks. (Note: Even some of the best hotels of Mussoorie are not facing the Shivaliks.) Rokeby Manor being located at Landour which is at least 2000 feet higher than Mussoorie has the advantage of a quite, non-chaotic environs and more scenic views of the Himalayas. Also note, the legendary author Sir Ruskin Bond too lives in Landour. Maybe, the scenic beauty and peace of Landour lends timelessness to to Sir Bond's stories and to Rokeby Manor's too. Rokeby Manor is truly a very enchanting property. I call it a 'picture perfect' place where you can create timeless memories with your loved ones. Add to it a terrific Head Chef like Mr Manohar and his team. A.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. lit !!!

's an amazing old school themed perfectly for hill station Christmas party like ambience. The hotel gives you a British feel as it was established in 1840s. They have a good restaurant Emily's and few serviced apartments which are within 500-800 meters from the main hotel but are equally beautiful. They also have their own bakery "Landour bakehouse" which has a very good feel and the bakery items here are delicious (must try). bonding with nature, scenic property, Awesome location , yummy food & great staff...
