“Avoid this hotel at any cost”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

This hotel is the most ill maintained ,unclean and inconveniently located place I have ever stayed in. The entry is through an uphill, dirt road full of muddy water running down leaking pipes. If you don't have a car at your beck and call this will prove to be really painful specially after dark when the road is not lit... More

“Nice property...little maintenance needed”

Reviewed 31 March 2013 via mobile

A very good property, nice cozy rooms, excellent view of Kanchenjungha, though approach road is very steep, slippery and smelly.

Excellent view of the Kanchenjunga from the common balcony. The last climb up for about 100 mts is quite steep & energy sapping. The hotel could do with some maintenance with wall papers peeling off. Faulty electrical fittings : the power point would konk off once too often, the lights would flicker for quite sometime before coming ON. Staff were... More
