Days Inn By Wyndham Gangtok Tadong

Days Inn By Wyndham Gangtok Tadong

8/10 Good
"The property is located right on the main street with easy access to public transport, mainly taxis. The valley looking room had excellent views. The restaurant and their staff offered excellent service, and the food was good and reasonably priced. It had an excellent view as well. It was off-season; therefore, we would be the only couple sitting in the restaurant mostly. We had an early morning start on check out, and they gave us packed breakfast. The gym is small and not much in terms of amenities. Overall, it was a good hotel for its bracket and price, and we had a pleasant and comfortable stay."

  4. Consider your location: Staying closer to major attractions or city centres can provide convenience, but it often comes with higher expenses. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might look into independent hotels located a bit further out, as they usually tend to be more affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
