Best Holiday Home

This place is a good place to stay! The room was very spacious and very clean. 
The breakfast options weren't too many!. 
However, the food ordered for dinner was good. 
The route to reach this hotel isn't very comfortable. Had to ride in a narrow road with few turns.
But overall, we enjoyed the stay here.

This is a simple, clean and quiet place to stay at while at Shillong. The rooms are large enough for a couple. The property is in a quieter part of the town.
The staff at the reception, are friendly and efficient.
The only area for improvement is breakfast. It is too simple. If they could add some fruit to begin with, it would make a big difference.

Very cleanly maintained hotel. Offers good and hygienic food. Staff are polite. Very close to city center.  Complimentary breakfast was good. 

I had very satisfying experience overall. Highly recommended.

Hotel is located in a narrow street where only smaller vehicles can go. As we had a tempo traveler we had to stop at nearby petrol pump and the Hotel staff brought their cars to take us and our luggage to the Hotel. Waiting at Petrol pump after a tiring day is not a comfortable situation. The Hotel RCC structure is little odd so some rooms may be not so good. So have a look at the available rooms before hand. 

Other then this the staff was very co-operative, food satisfactory and service good. The rooms were also need and clean.

I had very little time to book a hotel, so without much research I booked "Best Holiday Inn" & I am so happy that I didn't make any wrong decision. It was indeed a great value for money experience. 

What worked well?
✔ As I had booked in a hurry (last minute rush), I wasn't expecting a room with great view. But to try my luck, I called up the property & placed a request for a room on higher floor. The lady over the phone politely explained that she can't assure of it (quite understandably), but will try. I was obliged.
✔ I didn't realize that we will be reaching late in the evening (around 8:00 PM) -  when many parts of Shillong will be closed (e.g. shops/restaurants etc.). Thankfully, when I had called up the property requesting for the room on higher floor, this lady (apologies - I didn't take her name) reminded me of this & advised to call and inform hotel in advance if we were willing to have dinner there or not. This was a great help! 
✔ As we reached hotel - we were very happy to find that we were indeed given a room on the top floor - with a nice view of the city & surrounding.
✔ Room: Though bit tightly spaced for a family, it was clean, with cupboard (with lock), drawers, sofa, LCD TV (with HD DTH)
✔ Hotel has a lift - which is very helpful for elderly people in particular
✔ Toilets: Western facility, with hot & cold water round the clock
✔ Balcony: Rooms generally appeared to come with an attached balcony - which are safely cordoned with extended grill/rails for safety, but good to have a glimpse of the surrounding
✔ Food: In one word - "delicious"! Room service was top quality! 

What wasn't that great?
✗ I wish there was more creativity in breakfast menu - it was quite disheartening (especially when you have already tasted the great food at room service) to see only paratha, sabji, upma, cereals, bread (butter/jam) & a single variety of juice 
✗ Also, the amount was small for buffet & every few minutes people were forced to wait for refill to come from kitchen
✗ The wi-fi is not that workable (I personally couldn't connect for more than 5-10 minutes) - but it could have been an isolated incident.

Summary:
★ Skipping the minor hiccup with the breakfast, this is indeed a great value for money place to stay.
★Just be cautious of one point - though the local cabs will know this place as "Upper Lachaumiere", the hotel entrance comes at a steep downward slope (generally on your left - considering how the traffic flows in general). So, it is better to let the driver speak with hotel for the initial journey - so that you avoid any unwanted loops.
★ All Hotel Staffs were VERY HELPFUL! Be it for providing extra bed or fan or water or room service or arranging a cab.

Rooms were clean and well maintained. Value for money. The roads leading to the hotel are narrow, so if you take your own transport, you will need some driving skills to get around to this place. Overall was a good experience.

Value for Money

GOOD STAY AND FOOD AT SHILLONG

Satisfactory Stay

Value for Money: Nice Location, Excellent Staff

Good Budget Hotel

It's a decent low profile hotel. Good part was it was very clean - be it room / restaurant / reception. Breakfast had very limited items but drawback was that they were adamant to start only after 730 in morning disregarding your flight timings or timing to move out.

Decent Hotel but very clean

This hotel is a moderate one, but the location is not good. It is not easy to go around the city from this hotel by walk. Food is all right. The front office staff Mr. Darrar and an another person are friendly. We stayed for 2 nights and the room for the 1st day was not at all good. The front office person has changed us to another good room. Room has a good view.

Location not ideal

We had booked this place through an agent for three nights. The booking was for a deluxe room. We reached there late night and were given a room on the second floor. It was just a simple room with only basic amenities and hardly fall under superior category. It was freezing temperature and there was no running hot water. On taking up the matter with the management and agent, we were given a better room on third floor the next day. This was having better look and was also having a water heater in the washroom.  This signage outside the hotel gives an indication that this is a guest house and not a hotel. The food and beverages is prepared to order. The road leading to this place is narrow and big vehicles may not be able to enter.

The service at the reception and the room service was excellent. There was parking space for about 5 vehicles. The breakfast provided was good. I would recommend this place to those who are looking for just basic accommodation.  However pricing looked a bit higher vis a vis the quality of room provided.
