My stay at the Elgin from 20-23rd May'12 was a memorable one.As soon as we checked in at the Elgin we were welcomed with a silken khada draped around our neck. From then till checkout every interaction with Elgin staff was a pleasant experience. A heritage property converted into a hotel in 1930, this hotel reminds us of the British... More

At one go, the feeling was Royal. Cottage has been designed in a very good fashion with the bar being one of its class.The stay was pretty comfortable and most attractive aspect was the nearby market area where one can shop around. Food was very well prepared but it lacked the variety.The lounges were well managed and the view from... More

A lovely hotel, reminiscent of the days when British influence was greatest. A very well run operation, each room is distinct and nicely furnished. The dining room is lovely, meals are excellent and presented in a charming fashion. The common areas and bar are very nice, furnished in the old English style. Staff are attentive and quite professional. A real... More

Pretty central location near to Chaurasta, so expect it to be a bit busy and hear some noise during the day time from the adjacent road. The property is an old bungalow with its many wings modified into a hotel. So there could be a variation in the room sizes. There are a lot of steps to get you to... More

We wanted to visit NE India and searching Tripadvisor and the web came across Elgin hotels. Our original plan was to hire a car and driver but we also found that Elgin offered a pack staying at their properties and also include transport and tour at each location. Importantly they also arrange pick up and drop off at Bagdogra airport... More

We spend 2 nights at this hotel. One room was located at the ground floor and OK. 2 other rooms were located on the top floor and very nice. The hotel is like a private house open for guests. There is a beautiful 'living room' like lobby area with a small bar and open fireplace. Extremly nice at the evening... More

In all the places I decided to book my stay with Elgin properties as from the websites I found they were having the best properties among the lot. I had contacted the hotel through their website and the sales manager... More

Spent two nights here including new years eve 2011. Lovely rooms and good service. They went out of their way to put on a great new years eve function. Rooms were cosy warm and the beds comfortable. Nice touch to have a hot water bottle placed in the bed at night. More
