Hotel Review: Revolver, Darjeeling

Place: Revolver Darjeeling

Location: Gandhi Road, Darjeeling

Date: Nov 2023

What do I say about a place that has been featured in various renowned publications such as NAT Geo Traveler, Travel Triangle, Pink Villa! Revolver is known for a very unique attribute. And that is the love for The Beatles!

Yes, you read it right. This little B&B in Darjeeling is themed on The Beatles, for they love the band and everything about them. You can even say that it’s their tribute to the legendary band.

We were invited by them recently and we had the pleasure of staying there for a night.

It’s a small B&B with 5 rooms, named after the band members – John, Paul, George, Ringo and Brian. Apart from this they also have a suite called- Prudence. Out of these rooms ( George and Ringo offer the Kanchenjunga View)

The Owners Vikash and Asnela Pradhan have thoughtfully decorated Revolver, incorporating different pictures, posters, books and quirky elements. We were amazed when we found out that the in-room TV had its own The Beatles channel as well. The room was small but cozy and comfortable. They do not boast luxury and they are upfront about it. It’s a reasonable stay and definitely more value for the money you pay.

The best thing about it was the bed was with heated sheets. Just what you need in Darjeeling weather. They had made a small welcome basket which had basic toiletries and some snacks. They had also provided each room with a first aid kit (which included a sanitary pad as well)

The B&B has a common lounge area which has a common fridge and some other common utilities.

Their restaurant is known for the Naga Cuisine apart from the local delicacies. You have to place an order in advance though. We could not enjoy a meal here as we were on the go during our stay but I have read some really great reviews.
