Ilbert Manor

Its a 180 year old Heritage property located right at the start of the beautiful end of the 2.5 kms mall road. The property is small but has the old world charm for someone looking for that. Though it is on the mall road one has to go for a steep downhill walk from there to reach the hotel. Thus one doesn't hear the noise at all. The hotel provides car to pick up and drop more than half way through the steep decline and incline - especially helpful during check in and check out and once one has reached the mall road taxis and rikshaws are readily available. The view from the hotel rooms we got were the valley view which was very nice and serene but not the best. Though breakfast had a tiny menu and nothing worth mentioning about, we had one dinner at the hotel only and the North Indian food was good, however maybe due to less visitors during the kinda off season their tandoor was not working so we had to make do with rotis which was good also. The hotel has a sit out area also which was unserviceable due to monkeys though we did enjoy that area for just tea, picture clicking and enjoying the mountain views and sun without any food. The view from that side is specially great and the corner rooms have the same view i guess. Enjoying the tea in the rooms during the mornings were speacially wonderful as balcony was too small to have chairs. More so because we saw monkeys a couple of times in the trees nearby so we avoided venturing to the balcony with any food. Service at the hotel was really prompt be it food or for any other reason and the staff were also very helpful. One major issue we felt during our three nights stay was that the hotel shuttle from the mall road was available only uptil 8:30 pm in night and if one comes back later than that there are dogs barking at you on the way down. When we riased this issue with the hotel they told us that these dogs only bark and don't do anything further which turned out to be true but coming back to hotel with food could be avoidable as once the dogs came really close to us and were sniffing at the packets we had in which luckily we did not have any food. That lane is dark during nights and it was a bit of a scare. Rooms were clean and well maintaned and wooden flooring and other basic amenities like Geyser, TV in which I enjoyed the Champions Trophy final which India won was great. The mall road doesn't allow taxis after 4:30 pm and with this property there is not an issue as it right at the end of mall road where taxis can come anytime from main road and one can reach the property with a short walk. On the whole we had a wonderful stay. Being so close to the mall road and the husle bustle and still have a quite lovely stay we would suggest this to someone looking to enjoy the old world charm and the acitivities closeby.

It was a great stay and experience. Beautiful heritage property with a lot of history. All the staff members were cordial and so caring. My husband fell ill during the stay and Ayush from the staff made sure that we were taken care of 😇 Will be going back soon with family again

Ilbert Manor holds a colonial charm to its architecture and decor. The rooms are spacious and full of vintage decor. The food is freshly made and served hot. The staff is helpful, and goes above and beyond to accommodate your needs. I had left my earphones and the staff (Mr Ayush) was kind enough to courier it to me. Would recommend everyone to stay at the hotel at least once.

It was like stepping into a different era—the rooms had an old-world charm, as if they carried stories from British times. The vintage vibe, reminiscent of the 80s, added to the unique experience. The service was exceptional, A special mention to Ayush, who was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. One of the most surprising and impressive aspects was the pick-up and drop-off service from the nearby stop anytime, which was completely unexpected and added a touch of luxury to our trip. Overall, a wonderful stay with a perfect blend of history, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable getaway!
