“Poor food provision, not part of Mayfair Group despite name, Poor disabled access. Good service. Comfortable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2010
3
people found this review helpful

In Brief

Compliments:
1. Nice staff.
2. Good comfortable room.
3. Nice view.
4. Nice but limited food.
4. Good welcome to the hotel with cherry brandy and tea.

Complaints:
1 Poor food variety.
2 No interesting local food variety.
3 Poor quality bread and jam.
4 Overpriced.
5 Very poor disabled access.
6 Poor heating in the room/bathroom.
7 No Wifi or internet access in rooms.
8 Deceptive name implying it is part of the Mayfair group.

We were very disappointed when we found that this hotel is no-where near the Mayfair group standards yet charge nearly the same rates. They should remove Mayfair from the name as it is deceptive as there is Mayfair 5 star and 3 star Mayfair hotels in Sikkim West Bengal. This hotel is not even three star and charging too much. They should reduce the rates by half.

The hotel has one nice feature. A full size snooker table on the top floor (room is very cold). There is also a library which strangely doesn't have a chess board or checkers.

Other than this the service was excellent, respectful and considerate. Although they didn't have any nice room for disabled they helped us as best they could. We were shown one room on the ground floor but it was dingy, dark with no windows and not really properly set up for the truly disabled.

Bathrooms are small and cold but clean and plenty of hot water. The suite facing the valley we had was spacious but cold.

I think other hotels and Sikkim tourism guest houses in Lachung might provide better value for money.

No internet access by wifi or wired connection.

“Bliss amidst Mountains!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

This hotel is a pearl in the ocean... Without doubt, it is the best place to lodge in Lachung or for that matter in North Sikkim... This ain't a 5 star but is very good considering the other hotels in that locality... It's probably a 3 star property... rooms r decent, has decent views but is very serene and calm... has a beautiful library for book lovers.. they also rent-out CD / DVD/s... all in all gr8 place although a bit expensive...

“A comfortable set-up atop the rugged terrain of North Sikkim”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

Amidst the local guest houses and shoddy so called resorts is the Yarlam Mayfair Resort at Lachung. A warm and comfortable set-up in the cold enviorns of North Sikkim. Still being brought upto the required standards, however the warmth of the staff makes up for the various shortcomings.

“comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2010

we had a nice stay at mayfair during our stay at lachung.it has all the amenities of a five star hotel..well equipped rooms, billiards , hot water bags without asking,satellite tv,dvd player in every room,library and even DVDs stock to while away your rainy evenings.we were particularly thankful for tv because it kept our two young kids occupied!
service and staff are struggling to reach the star category standards! seemed to be under staffed to attend to a large influx of guests ! but they are friendly people.
their architect should have some sensitivity towards the nature around and shown imagination in its design.
