My
stay
at
Rani
Kothi
Residency
in
Darjeeling
was
a
truly
disappointing
experience.
The
issues
began
with
the
sheets,
which
were
clearly
not
cleaned
or
fresh.
The
lack
of
maintenance
was
evident
throughout
the
property,
with
tall
grass
and
a
general
lack
of
upkeep,
making
it
difficult
to
enjoy
a
leisurely
stroll.
The
rooms
themselves
were
far
from
pleasant,
emitting
unpleasant
odours.
The
bathroom
was
nothing
short
of
atrocious,
and
the
absence
of
proper
ventilation
only
added
to
the
discomfort.
One
major
concern
was
the
lack
of
security.
Both
the
main
gate
of
the
Rani
Kothi
and
the
building
gate
were
left
wide
open
at
all
times,
making
it
a
potential
safety
hazard.
This
became
even
more
problematic
when
street
dogs,
who
seemed
territorial,
approached
the
building,
putting
the
safety
of
my
pet
at
risk.
The
state
of
cleanliness
was
alarming,
especially
when
it
came
to
the
carpets.
It
was
evident
that
they
hadn’t
been
cleaned
in
ages.
This
added
to
the
overall
unpleasantness
of
the
stay.
The
kitchen
was
also
in
an
unacceptable
state.
The
poor
condition
made
it
difficult
to
feel
comfortable
using
any
of
the
facilities.
Despite
these
shortcomings,
I
must
mention
that
the
staff
members
were
hospitable
and
tried
their
best
to
assist.
However,
their
efforts
couldn’t
compensate
for
the
numerous
issues
that
plagued
the
property.
Additionally,
the
terrible
narrow
approach
road
leading
to
the
homestay
was
another
inconvenience
that
added
to
the
overall
frustration.
The
fact
that
the
hotel
is
situated
at
a
much
lower
altitude
was
a
disappointment.
Darjeeling
is
known
for
its
scenic
beauty
and
breathtaking
views,
but
unfortunately,
the
location
of
Rani
Kothi
Residency
didn’t
offer
the
same
level
of
natural
beauty
and
panoramic
vistas
that
one
would
expect
from
a
stay
in
the
region.
I
couldn’t
bear
to
stay
longer
than
a
night
due
to
the
unsatisfactory
conditions.
I
sincerely
hope
that
improvements
are
made
to
address
the
cleanliness,
maintenance,
security,
and
overall
comfort
of
the
establishment.
