I come from a beautiful place, Shillong. It is also known as the scotland of east. Shillong is beautiful through out the year specially in the month of septebber and october. In summer it rains a lot which has a beauty of its own. Sometime it rains continously for more than a week. The sound of nonstop rain just drives... more

Shillong has many things going for it. the best being its understated. That makes it less touristy and crowded and thus for people who would like a laid back holiday with family and friends. food is good and reasonably priced. not the place for people looking for action and adventure and the uncertainity of travelliong in the norht east of... more

We had a very nice trip to Shillong. We enjoyed the very different sightseeing, the interaction with the local people and the hotel where we stayed. We stayed in the Boutique room for which we got a good rate at the hotel`s website.We had booked a pick up from Guwahati Airport in a small car but they sent us a... more

Overview of the destination Shillong is one of the best hill stations I have visited till now- really 'home of the clouds' in the true sense of the term.Our Shillong tour got a different flavour as we luckily met with Mr Pradip Modak-the best Govt guide & taxi-driver since years. He is so honest, loves to portrait his motherland to... more

Pinewood Hotel

Oct 19, 2008

I was traveling with a group of colleagues through NE India in October 2008. We arrived at this hotel to have lunch and plan our escape from the Mi Casa Hotel where we had been booked in. We were very lucky as the Pine Woods hotel had the number of rooms we needed available for two nights. The rooms are... more

Mi Casa Hotel

Oct 19, 2008

In October 2008 I was traveling with some work colleagues through NE India. We found this hotel to be really awful. The rooms were unclean, extremely noisy, very bad power and back-up generator system, no internet etc. We were lucky to find space in the pine woods hotel, which is a much better option, including having wireless internet in the... more

I have returned from Shillong only last week. It was a great trip. Hotel Polo Towers was wonderful. People are well mannered. I took a room for two nights which cost Rs.5090/- inclusive of taxes. The restaurant was very good. The food was also quite good except the tea. They could not make the tea properly. Room service is wonderful... more

Hotel Polo Towers

Aug 23, 2008

went to shillong for official work and stayed in the hotel for 1 day. The remote of the TV was not there in the room and when they provided one it was not working. The food is not bad but less than expectation of a 4 star hotel. The breakfast had limited choices. Room service was not good. The dishes... more

I recently stayed in this Hotel as it claimed to be a four star hotel on the web site.Well it was a very disappointing experience with the rooms smelling ---finally could find a room with no smelly carpets. The linen was stained and dirty and had to ask for a change. The food too was bad ---- Thick Rotis and... more

Ri Kynjai

Jul 14, 2008

We, (me & wife) checked into Ri Kynjai after a terrible start to our much awaited Holiday and were liberally rewarded. It was everything that we were looking forward to after viewing the website and reading the reviews in the Travel magazines. We stayed in the C1 cottage and were not at all dissapointed by the experience. Luxurious Room. A... more

It was a great trip. Great break. Hotel was great. You must try the Sizzlers there....we still talk about the sizzlers even after coming back to Mumbai...they have good looking rooms and a calm location, I`d recommend dont stay in Police Bazar as its crazily noisy, we were in a hotel there and had to shift out because of the... more

Location ! Location !! Location !!! Awesome is an understatement for the location of the resort; we had booked a cottage/ suite for a night and were swept of our feets for the spectacular views it had to offer. The bed was very comfortable; the room had interesting local elements; the p[property was very well maintained. BUT...... a. Food was... more

We were two working women looking for a well deserved break from our work, family and city life - we more than found it at Ri Kynjai and Shillong. The hotel was beautiful, the scenery and the ambiance was absolutely relaxing and the stay comfortable. We loved sitting in the large balcony having our morning cup of tea and looking... more

This was my first visit to Shillong and it was great. Nice and clean, fresh air, the works! The hotel was good. We stayed at their so called Boutique Room which was actually one of the best looking rooms that I have stayed in. Service was good, but not 5 Star, but then this hotel doesnt claim to be 5... more

Ri Kynjai

Feb 27, 2008

I found this hotel to be really very good in terms of rooms and the facilities provided. It is the ideal place to go and relax and do nothing. I sat on the verandah overlooking the lake read, basked in the sun and enjoyed the view. The service tends to be on the slow side, but who cares about that... more

Hotel Centre Point

Dec 12, 2007

The location of this hotel couldn't be better being right by Police Bazaar, which is an amazing area with real shops, fixed prices and not touristy at all. So a good bet for shopping/browsing without hassle. The room we had was a double deluxe and it was very spacious and comfortable with a huge picture window. They were having trouble... more
