Hotels near Siddhadhatri Durga Temple, Gangtok

We had a lot of concerns while booking a hotel in Gangtok and took a leap of faith with 100 petals. The result is we would go back to Sikkim just to spend time at 100 petals. 1. Property and Room : Room with balcony was spacious enough for 2 people. Very nice space to eat meals as well next to the balcony. Excellent and calming views from the balcony. A third of our time was spent there. Extremely comfortable bed, hygienic and running hot water. Property is not ostentacious but very cosy and a 15 min cab ride away from the main market, MG Marg which will cost you around 150-200 INR one way. 2. Food : The variety of food ***** with taste was just brilliant. We ended up having breakfast and dinners at the property. Extremely fresh and tasty vegetarian food with a huge variety. Breakfast over 2 days - Puri Bhaji, Aloo Paratha with Curd, Coleslaw sandwiches, Omelette, Masala Poha, cut fruits and local orange juice. Dinner over 2 days - Chicken kadhai, Butter chicken, mixed veg sabzi, veg kolhapuri, roti, jeera rice, plain rice, salad, dal, clear veg soup. 3. Staff : The best aspect of 100 petals was the staff, the best of the best being Tshering Youngming, Sandesh, Prem (apologies for not remembering the others at the reception desk). Tshering was especially outstanding from the start of booking our rooms, allaying our concerns and being prompt with confirmation and query resolution. On the day we were supposed to reach , the 3.5 hr journey from Bagdogra to Gangtok took 7 hrs. Tshering proactively spoke to Nirmal Gurung our super cab driver and gave him directions. Inspite of the late hour (10pm - everything closes at 9), Tshering realising that we must be tired after the horrendous car ride, politely asked if he should send the food to the room after we freshen up. He also took down Nirmal's number and coordinated with him regarding our timings the next day. What a lovely holistic time we had at Sikkim, nothing touristy and only genuine people, nature, cute fluffy doggos and food. PS: We made the mistake of spending 3 days in Darjeeling. Absolute disaster. Extreme overcrowding, very very touristy, more vehicles than people with diesal fumes rampant in the air. Both of us fell sick there. The only redeeming quality of Darjeeling was the Zoo. While choices are strictly personal, spend more time in Sikkim rather than Darjeeling.

Absolutely an amazing time at Hotel Sinclairs on the land of Himalayas. Rooms are excellent with modern amenities and food was just mouth watering. Lovely ambience. All staffs are very courteous.. Above all Miss Bijayeta is very helpful is all aspects. Love to visit again. All the very best to every one. Thank you

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) travelling from Chennai, stayed here for 3 nights. The property is an excellent one and located in a prime area, very easily accessible to MG marg. The hotel staff were very supportive and we were very happy with their hospitality. Especially the food service and support. We personally wish to call out Varsha reception, food - Abhi, Sunitha and Neha for making our stay memorable. We stayed in the executive room with balcony view, which was very pleasing. Big pluses are, good location, very very nice staff, rooms n bathrooms are well maintained, lot of eateries n eseesntial shops nearby. Food and it's cost are also tasty and at par/nominal with other nearby restaurant costs. If at all i have to mention any low point, then it would be parking ( just like other hotels situated on the same road). Since this hotel is in a prime location, even 1 min delay to get in or get out of your vehicle will cause traffic chaos and inconvenience to the driver. Tourist guests need to take care of that alone. Rest apart, you will definitely enjoy your stay here.

We travel by the end of December 2023 , SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING THIS PROPERTY. PROS - location is very good 5 to 7 mins walking distance from MG Marg , Food is very good , Roof Top restaurant of the property is excellent with a very good view and music. CONS - maintenance work is going on in the property , so its is advisable to avoid underground floors which has base category rooms like Deluxe Super Deluxe and Deluxe Family Room till the whole repair work is done in the rooms as it will be really difficult to stay in those rooms. You can go for Mountain View Rooms and Suites.

The property is located on the slope with very limited parking. Unlike in cities on the west coast of india, all streets in gangtok are on the slope hence this becomes a factor, that we didn't realise prior to the visit. Service is average and food is below average. Breakfast is good enough but variety is limited.
