FabExpress Red Cherry Residency - Hotel in Gangtok - East District, India

The only good thing about this hotel is it is just 5 minutes in distance ( that too after a 60 step downhill step through horribly dirty surroundings) from the start of mg marg. Rest nothing looked worth the price to us. There is another entry just opposite to children's park taxi stand, which makes you walk over septic tanks and drains and even has excreta lying on it. The 'view rooms' gives u a view of mountains- true, but with multiple big obstacles. The mg marg view is just a very tiny portion of your viewing angle, which they claim to be mg marg view. The beds are horribly bad spring beds which are sure to give you back ache. The most pathetic is the behavior of the manager- mr. raju. On face he will be very polite and try to showcase he will give his life for the tourists, but if no extra amenities, like local sightseeing or food is purchased from him with a premium, his behaviour will change completely. Every tour from the hotel, he has cars available- correct, but if you check outside, you are bound to get atleast 20-30% lesser. He told us he treats kids like his own and ensures their food need is fulfilled, but if the party does not take meal from the hotel- the only option they have is rice and dal boiled, at max a boiled egg- not even alu bhaji or boiled alu can be made available for a 2.5 yrs kid. Being asked- he straightaway informs -'go and buy outside, like u r buying for urself'. His checkout time is 12:00 noon, but if the tourists dont leave early morning, like most of the other tourists coming to plains from gangtok, he even stoops as low as stopping water to the rooms, questioning 'why aren't you ready yet.' Thinking we may please him with the hotel's food ( which is only bengali thali by the way), when we ordered 6 plates, we were given stale fish and multiple items written in the menu card as part of thali goes missing, no question can be asked. I strictly don't recommend this hotel- please think twice before taking a risk with your vacation and family.

It is a decent hotel located nearby M.G Marg , Gangtok (2 mins walking distance). Service was good and hotel manager and other stuffs were helpful. The only negative point I would mention is that you have to climb some stairs to reach upto hotel entrance . So, the way from main road to hotel entrance is a bit awkward. Apart from that I didn't experience any such negative point to mention about. Rooms were spacious and clean. I travelled Gangtok last Jan and stayed couple of days there. Overall experience was good. I would like to give 4/5 rating.

We stayed at Red Cherry for a total of 3 days. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent. the entrance was bit tacky, however, given the staff members and location, it could easily be ignored. The food served was on the basis of al-kate. would have loved if it was buffet ; but anyways, the food was really nice and staff caters to customer;s demands quite nicely. The rooms were nice and clean also. Overall , if you are looking for a budget + nice staff + location, GO FOR THIS. 5 extra points for their service :)

Worst hotel. Staff is good but the manager is really bad. Always looking for extra money. He will make sure you have to pay extra money by delaying trips. If you don't pay what he asks, threatens for check out. It is better to book with other hotel. Don't book any package with them. Always he will tell I'm havinoss but he will make maximum money.

Pretty descent hotel with nice location. Complete value for money. Hotel is neat and clean and it's just few stairs walk from M.G Marg. Food quality is good and service is excellent. The best part of the hotel is it's staffs. Manager is so nice and well behaved and all the staffs are so courteous, it just amazed me. Now onwards my stay is fixed in Gangtok.

The best thing about this hotel is probably the location, M G Marg being two minutes' walking distance from the place. Then the staff is also "happy to help" kind. Food is also good, but one will need to order early for dinner. The Delux rooms are however towards the back, with sound of water running through the pipe troubling you at times. The interiors are, however, very nice!

Very convenient , location which is near to MG marg and rooms are also very good . Owner is very kind , wifi is available with good speed

we booked it through google booking and paid 1600 per room. after staying in another hotel (misty tree mountain hotel), realized that we must have paid at least double the real price. the hotel is in very weird location as one needs to walk through very narrow passage from main road which has some bush and some slum like feeling. the rooms doedn't have fan or AC. while for most hotels you don't find fans and AC here in Gangtok, this one doesn't have good ventilation so it's bit suffocating. people managing the hotel are good. other major issue is the mosquitos one need to deal with. rooms are bit smelly and towels given were not well washed. overall, good option only if you don't have other good option available and if you travelling with bachelors. also don't book online, rather go to hotel straight and book. one should get this for 1000 or less per room after bit of bargain.
