Elgin Hall

Elgin! A british era colonial villa with 7 rooms, lush green gardens, ample parking space, fire place, open sitting areas, a fully equipped restaurant with excellent crockery and cutlery. Staff is well behaved and always has a smile on face with a greeting every time they see you. You enter the lobby area with fragrance of Sagwan wood, wooden staircase. What i like the most is the fact that despite being a 100 year old villa thr is no feeling that u r being deprived of Morden amenities and the charm of an old building is bery well maintained. A house keeping staff was cleaning a transparent glass candle lamp besides the fire place and it took him 30 minutes to do so after he left i went close to see what took him so long, but thr i witnessed a flawless absolutely clean lamp. To maintain a property like this attention to minutest of detail is required and i must say the staff is briefed very well. Decent breakfast spread excellent tea and coffee. Food is also very good and decently prized. Unlike other hotels the staff is not pushing u to have ur dinner as they want to close the kitchen, infact my server asked me not to worry about the time and enjoy as much as i could. This is unreal. Rooms are neat with clean washrooms and have a wide variety of tea, green tea and coffee sachets and a boiling kettle which was decent. I was expecting a capsule coffee machine but thats ok. All in all a good comfortable stay if i were to give a suggestion i would have appreciated a security guard probably armed at the gate.

This 7 bedroom property is a gem.Typically an english cottage. all rooms are furnished superbly and they have a common living room on each floor. The service and food is top notch. Absolutely magnificent. The staff and manager are amazing, The heating is quite good and this property would be a wonder in snow. We went in may and it was quiet cold. would recommend it to all for a minimum stay of 3 nights

We stayed here for 3 nights with a kid of 11 yrs. They spoilt us with their generous service, awesome food & beautiful property. This is a hidden gem, just 7 rooms hence the superior quality of attention to guests. You can't miss it if like me you are a fan of old world, the charm will leave you want to come again. Special mention to Satpal & Anilji for doing everything to make our stay worthwhile, we promise to come again, thank you

The homestay is really good but the best part is the location and the style of rooms . The rooms have an interesting english look dating from the Victorian era and are spacious and luxurious with neat and clean washrooms and many amenities . Even the food here was amazing . The price is a little high but it’s totally worth it . Loved our stay here perfect for a nice vacation .

We stayed in this property for 3 nights stay with family from 11 Nov 2023 onwards. This colonial era property is situated in the mid of Dalhousie. The hospitality and food is amazing, chef prepares excellent food but property needs more make over as interior and hygiene levels are not Upto the mark, Rs 20k per night charges are too high as per five star standard, the housekeeping has to be improved . Overall we had good experience but found value for money missing.

I visited Elgin Hall in the month of November. I initially just came to see the property, as I am fond of vintage properties. I fell in love with the place as soon as I entered the premises. The staff is kind and very helpful, I booked my room on the spot. Luckily I got the availability. Key things to note: 1. Vintage architecture with modern touch (Neo architecture) 2. Staff is very kind, they will try to help in any way possible. 3. Food is amazzzing. They prepare fresh food when we order, so make sure to order accordingly. It takes time to prepare. I had my 6 months old kid with me, they specially prepared safe to eat food for him as per our demand. Staff even helped us hold the child while we were eating. Hats off to the kindness. One more thing which impressed me the way they served me the breakfast: I was having puri chole, and while eating my puri got cold; they noticed that on their own and changed it to fresh hot puri without me telling them. These small gestures make a difference for me. Many more things to tell, but I think you should experience the magic yourself.

Loved it. Great service by all, and by Vicky, Amit and Anil in particular. Homely food too - which could be made on request. The location is fantastic if you’re looking for a quiet place to get away to spend time with your loved ones or family and enjoy great views. It’s a small property, but that adds to the charm. And we couldn’t get enough of the morning chai with mountain views, fresh air and a slight winter chill!
