I can't help but write a review about the food at The Lakkhotaa Lodge in Shillong, Meghalaya. I went to the Lakkhotaa Lodge for lunch after a few days of my arrival in Shillong. The food was fantastic; I had to go again, the food was mouth wateringly tasty! After that, I went there again, and then a few more... More

To be a little more specific: Atmosphere: Excellent. It was very pleasant to relax on the patio every evening for drinks, dinner and conversation. Rooms: My room was excellent. The internet worked very well.... More

If you've read the previous review, we were the other family travelling with Dr Kala and were given the room with no windows. Finding it a little strange, I decided to quiz the manager about the same and he very sheepishly admitted that it used to be a spa earlier. The rack rate for this room was about Rs.11000, which...

To be fair,interiors are 'out of this world'.The furnishings are very aesthetic and artistic.However,being a modified house,it is located in a mohalla.An open drain flows in front of the gate and the cattle shed across the ten feet wide road is cause of smells and mosquitos.The nearby golf-course is used by general public as an open park during the day...

We had initially planned to arrive a day earlier but postponed because we realized that we couldn't make it from Guwahati to Shillong at night.. The hotel was very gracious and didn't charge us for the night. When we reached there the next day we were effusively greeted by the owner and everyone else in sight.. Made us feel right... More
