Amba Regency

Location, mountain view and food

Service could have been better

This was a last minute booking since the trip was hastily planned. We visited Gangtok during the Christmas week. Booked this hotel through Booking.com. I'll note the Pros and cons for easy understanding. Pros: 1. Mr. Amrit, the manager, is a lovely person, going out of his way to manage the stays. He even helped procure some medicine for my kid pretty late at night. So thank you very much again. 2. I reached Gangtok a day before my scheduled arrival, but they were accommodating enough and gave us a much larger room at the same price! 3. The hotel is bang on the main road, so no problem in accessing cabs/buses from here. Also it's just a few mins walk from M.G. Marg & Laal Market, which is the main tourist spot in Gangtok. 4. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. 5. The top floor rooms have a great view of the valley OR the main road (mine was a road facing one with a side view of the mountain). 6. The food, though VEG ONLY, was delicious and room service was prompt. 7. The rooftop restaurant has a great view of the valley. Overall, I was very satisfied by the services and would look forward to stay again, provided they improve on their breakfast menu and the smell issue.

Cons: 1. Not necessarily a con, but for a Bong foodie like me, it's a Veg hotel! So I guess that's self explanatory. I would suggest they increase the options in the Breakfast buffet. Also, it'll be great if they start offering at least boiled eggs & Maggie in the breakfast, maybe have a separate oven for that.. This makes it very easy for kids to have breakfast. 2. The room that I had been given, had a pungent smell all the time, which was probably the only turn-off for me. I had to keep spraying room fresheners. Later I found out that the main plumber was away and the replacement plumber could not get the issue fixed.

price.

Excellent location 5 min walkable distance to MG Marg road which is the place for night life.. Staff are polite and helpful

1) Need to fix loose water taps 2) Alternative power arrangement when power is down 3) water shortage need to be effectively managed

Awesome Service
