Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right next to Paljor Stadium in Gangtok, offering stunning views of the stadium and mountains. The rooms are well-appointed, very helpful staff members make the stay very comfortable. While the service is generous and cordial overall, it might feel a bit isolated at times. The dining options are satisfactory but could be more elaborate. The elegant decor and Mr Sudeep's dedication in supervising the restaurant add a special touch to the experience.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views of the Kanchenjunga peak, although the dining experience could be improved. The service was exceptional, and the location provides a peaceful getaway close to the mall road. The facilities were well-maintained.
The Nor-Khill is a wonderful place to stay with immaculate and comfortable rooms offering classic-luxurious overtones. The service is extremely hospitable and always ready to assist guests. The location, though slightly off the main road, is close to the commercial area and offers an energetic vibe. While the dining options might not cater fully to residents, the hotel provides freshly prepared dishes to enjoy.
The hotel rooms were of the highest standard, cozy, very clean, and meticulously tended, offering a comfortable and caring atmosphere. The spacious rooms are ideal for families with kids, but the dining options vary in quality. The service is outstandingly courteous and helpful, with a touch of friendliness. The central location, while overlooking a football stadium, is convenient and walkable to popular areas, yet slightly affected by noise. The dining experience varies from horrible to good, but includes vegan options. The facilities are adequate, reflecting the price point.
My stay at Nor-Khill was a mix of grandeur and cleanliness. The rooms, although lacking some electric outlets for charging devices, were impressively spacious, stately, and kept very clean compared to other properties. The service was top-notch, with staff members carrying out their duties in a traditional and courteous manner. The location near the center of Gangtok provided a vibrant experience and the opportunity to interact with the local community. The dining, though not a major focus, offered delicious options like masala dosa and European-style breakfast. The facilities were well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the mountain view from our room was nice, we ended up overlooking a building site and enduring early morning wedding preparations. The hill view of Paljor Stadium was not very clear.
The hotel offers a mix of cozy rooms with old-world charm and some areas that need improvement. The service is top-notch with a friendly staff, although the manager may seem a bit stressed at times. The location is perfect for exploring Sikkim, within walking distance to markets and restaurants, offering stunning views of Kanchenjunga. The dining experience is good, although it may lack variety for longer stays. Overall, a comfortable stay with great potential for enhancements.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and very welcoming, done up in an antique style, providing a cozy atmosphere. The service is warm and professional, with traditional gestures that make you feel special. The location offers a mix of convenience and rich ambiance, though the dining experience may vary in quality. Overall, a charming stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers big and lovely rooms that are clean, well laid out, and equipped with modern amenities, creating a comforting and caring atmosphere. The staff is extremely courteous, and the mountain and stadium views are superb. The presence of a mobile heater adds to the convenience. However, the hotel is slightly let down by its proximity to a large stadium.
Our stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, perfect for a group of families with an early outing planned the next day. The service was exceptional, with friendly and polite staff right through our stay. The location was conveniently located in Central Gangtok, elegantly furnished with a grand colonial style. The dining experience offered good quality meals, despite some areas needing improvement. Overall, a great value for money stay with excellent facilities.
