Cafe Shillong Bed and Breakfast

The rooms were clean and spacious but there is no restaurant at the hotel. It is not a hotel basically it's a person house turned into guesthouse. The parking is very steep and uneasy. It's a bit far from the police bazar and market area. The prices are unjustified.

I went to visit Shillong after ***y years with my children, and booked for three nights, but I left after 2 nights. I had booked 2 rooms and asked that we may be accommodated near each other. This was refused. I stayed at the new building that was set apart from the main building. My room had no wifi access and in spite of me telling them about it , I did not get any help. The TV did not work and lastly there was a power cut every night from 12 to 5 am. This I was told was all over Shillong, because the State Govt imposed it. I am not sure about that, but this is a safety issue and they should be upfront and tell their guests about it well in advance. If this was to be the case they should provide flash lights and candles to their guests. I had a guest knock at my kids door at 4 am because she had no idea what to do in the dark!! For future guests I recommend that you ask about which room you will get and insist on the main building. Also make sure that they give you candles and matches or flash lights. One thing that I did enjoy was the breakfast served in the morning. The kitchen staff was very accomodating.

I will tell you exactly why you should not visit this property. I visited this on month of June. 1) ZERO SECURITY. Some boarders left front door open at 1:30 midnight and nobody not a single security was in sight who had responsibility to close it 2) NO POWER BACKUP : there was loadshedding from 12 am-4am and i was sitting there in pitch dark for a room that i paid 3717 a night. And i was dead scared of dark. It was clearly mentioned they had power backup 3) Shillong often has blackout hours and as a hotel service they didn't have the minimum sense to aware their boarders of the same . 4) front door was left unlocked 5) no proper ceiling fan or ac. And it was scorching heat on 3rd morning . I was sweating like anything yet they didn't have the facility because they want you to live like a cave***. ( And mind it they were charging 3717 a night for nothing ) 6) towels were torn hard and old 7) on MakeMyTrip it was showing 3717 with tax and on call they de***ded 4000+12% tax . 8) zero continuous warm water if you need it. One soap and two shampoo satchet left . Overall please don't visit this property if you want comfort

Rooms were clean. Location is near market. All necessary amenities are available. Staff behaviour is also good. Room service is also average. They do not pick up the phone before 7:00 am. The breakfast is below average and starts after 8:00 am. So if you are leaving early, no breakfast is available

The place is indeed a fairy tale place with exquisite furniture and colonial architecture.. the behaviour of the staff will surely touch the visitors. This bed and breakfast is without any grill relaxing yet elegant stay for family or other visitors

If you want a heritage feel, you can opt for this stay. We stayed in the rooms just beside the reception area. Rooms were large and had quite a vintage feel with large ceilings and wooden floors. Though the walls are very thin and everything can be heard of. The breakfast option could have been better else a nice place to stay in.

This is the most pathetic place Globally to stay. The first impression is a terrible one. There was no electricity and property ***ager told that they do not have any back up and we will have to adjust and no food is available and for we will have to take care by us through Swiggy (food ordering app). They cannot help with any food, what a unprofessional approach and attitude. No one should ever visit the property. Most terrible property unprofessionally ***aged

Don't book this property if you have other options. It's not at all worth the price. Though the hotel and the room looked nice at the first glance it's not a comfortable stay. The washroom taps were broken. The main door lock was broken too. They did some work to fix the issues but the washroom tap could not be fixed. We almost had to use the washroom like primitive era. Secondly, it being a boutique hotel, the rooms are all connected with very thin walls. You will be able to listen to your neighbours song and pressure cooker music from 5 in the morning. Similarly your conversation can be heard from every other room. The dining area is way too small. They only offer breakfast. So in case it rains heavily and swiggy/Zomato do not accept your order you will have to fast. Very few staff so service though okay takes a lot of time. Suggestion is to avoid this one unless it's a very cheap deal.

A boutique hotel.. neat and clean. Helpful staff. A***da and the chef Rakesh were super helpful. The walls are super thin though. The conversations next door can be clearly heard. And you need to be a good driver to negotiate the steep slope while entering the premises
