The rooms, with views of the hills framed by the petunias whose fragrance drifted in, were large, very clean and lovely to be in. The ever-smiling staff catered to all our needs. The food was a delight, home cooked and varied. Very helpful and welcoming atmosphere, it felt as if we were staying with relatives.

The staff at Hidden Forest are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable and the location is a short drive to Gangtok's excellent town centre. The food was amazing and the staff happily catered for vegetarians and those in need of regular tea and biscuits. It was lovely to see prints by a famous local botanical... More

When you enter Hidden Forest you know you are in an establishment which is fuelled by passion and warmth.The view from every room(thanx to a private balcony in the rooms(at least the ones in which we stayed and the ones we saw from outside) is awesome.

I really did not find anything negative about the Hotel. The pluses, however, are - 1. Within minutes drive from MG Road (walkable as well), so you are not really away from the centre. At the same time, it's as quiet and serene as you could possibly imagine. So, you get the best of both worlds. 2. Numerous trees, orchids,... More

A short drive but a whole away from Gangtok is the Hidden Forest Retreat, a hotel unlike any other. Spread over three acres on the mountainside, this family owned and run hotel exudes charm. A paradise for anyone who loves flowers, they nurture and grow a mind-boggling array of orchids on the premises. They also have flourishing nurseries for flowers,... More

My daughter & I stayed at this lovely family owned hotel in October 2012. The accommodation was very comfortable & clean. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous with orchids & wonderful rhododendrons everywhere. The food was simple but very tasty. We certainly ate in on several nights & were very happy to stay in after touring the district all day. A... More
