sutirtha p.family

The rooms were OK, little bit smaller in size. The approach road is very bad specially for people travelling by own car. The host was awesome and helpful. But room amenities need to be made more professional.

Mr Pal, Thank you for your review. Rooms are convenient for 2 Adults plus a child, hence mentioned as Cozy Rooms. Even though our property is a homestay we have all amenities like a conventional hotel for the convenience of our guests (Hairdryer in the bathroom/Tea coffee maker/bed side lamps to name a few. Roads have gradient here, as you are visiting the mountains and plus we don't charge for parking. If you had mentioned that you would be getting your own vehicle before booking we could have been better suited to guide you.

sutharshan k.group

The property was unexpectedly beautiful as i had not expected it to be so green and full of different kinds of plants. Just the right distance from mg road to not make the travel feel too difficult as well the rooms were clean and food was pretty wholesome and even had some unique local products to taste. Owner was most helpful in identifying people to travel with and also give us a broad overview of all the places that we could visit and how the logistics of the travel usually work out. Would definitely revisit this stay whenever i go back to gangtok.
