Burdwan Palace (Rani Kothi) Residency

Excellent experience. The staff is very accommodating. The fact that swami vivekananda spent some time just adds to the allure of the place along with the huge rooms with fire places.

It's a awesome bunglow.just 3 km away from Darjeeling. Staying here is an experience. In a clear day, the whole Kanchenjunga range is spectacular.

Awesome place to stay...beautiful scenic view of Kanchanjungha... staffs are so friendly n humble. A calm place for peaceful staying.. need some more maintenance for the bathrooms.

We stayed there for two nights. It was an awesome stay. On the first day we stayed in the mountain view suite with three bedrooms and a common room on the first floor and on the second day we stayed in the double bedroom villa with two bedrooms and a common room on the ground floor. The beds had bed warmers which was very much needed to beat the cold. Antique furniture, spacious and clean rooms and bathrooms, hospitality of the staff, the ambience and the view of Kanchenjunga made our stay memorable.nnThis was the sixteenth time that I visited Darjeeling and the hospitality of the staff made it the most memorable one. The behaviour of Mr. Prasant Gurung, the manager, Mr. Hiren Pradhan, Manisha and her husband touched our heart. We got a homely atmosphere. We cooked, we enjoyed the barbeque on the balcony, we danced, we sang, we did everything that our heart wanted, most importantly the hosts were a part of it. Juni, the little dog is a special attraction. Our children played a lot with him. His parents are well trained guard dogs who remain chained throughout the day and are freed at night.nnWe were seven members in the group and travelled in our own vehicle. It's true that the approach road to the palace is not that good but once you reach there you feel like going back to the place again and again. We are thankful to Mr. Keshav who was always there for us whenever we needed to go to the mall or return back to the palace.

I usually don't write reviews but for Rani kothi I had to. I was traveling with my family n 2 infants, our travel was work combined with some holidaying as I had to work children also need to enjoy their stay and it wouldn't have been possible if we stayed at some other property in darjeeling because the space n the security along with the comfortability is the best here. We stayed for 5 days initially we were welcomed as huest but we left as family.nnWe stayed in the villa portion of the bunglow its being so cold here temperature dropping to 2 degree the bed warmers n the heaters kept us warm. Food is served fresh n hot ud83dudd25 n also tasty home made food.nnSpecial mention Sailendra , Manisha and Hiren ji they go the extra mile to help you to feel comfortable. They never say no for anything n always with a smile. Staying in this property will only help you get closer to the nature n also to the beautiful people of the hills. My kids also made friends to local kids prstyush n yaksh n they played their hearts out.nnDon't miss staying in the property though mall road is 15 mins drive n walking 30 minutes but if one wants to stay away from the chaos of the town then it is this place.
