Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has amazing, well-spaced rooms in a separate building block, providing a nice place to visit. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and very comfortable, although not as cozy as those on the top floors.
The hotel's location is very convenient, just around 500 meters from the mall, making it tranquil at night but still easily accessible. The rooms in the main wing were spotlessly clean and offered amazing views of Kanchenjunga up close. The dining options, while delicious, could have a bit more variety for the price point. Overall, a great value for money stay.
Staying at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, although well spaced and amazing, were a bit of a letdown as they were under repair and had a damp smell. The location, with easy access to the Mall road and great views, was a definite plus. However, the dining options, while decent, could have been more diverse, and the overall maintenance of the property left something to be desired.
I was delighted with the breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga from my room's large window and the convenient location near the main market area. The dining experience could have been better with more complimentary options, but overall, a great stay.
