Gud nice holidays, enjoyed the place and the hotel......

nice experience overall. not very far from station location is also great..

The best experience we had in tour of North India in this hotel. It is nice and cozy with fantastic staff.

Best Experience: We need to call a doctor as myself and my wife both got sick. They have managed for both of us at very late night hours.

it was nice everything was arranged perfectly. love gangtok

Best Experience: it was candle night dinner my wife wanted to have and they arranged it in my room it was very romantic moment of life.

Worst Experience: no worst experience

Gangtok is truly a paradise - though not the best one in winters (it gets just too cold)! Despite the season we (my wife and I - honeymoon) went in (December 2010), it was worth it. And Ttakshang Residency was a great beginning. It was the first real impression we got of Sikkim and it was a great first impression. The rooms were cozy, comfortable - and most importantly, CLEAN! Just what we needed after an extremely tiring journey from Mumbai to Sikkim. We stayed there for 2 nights (the first 2 nights of our Sikkim tour). The food was delicious and the eating arrangements were meticulous. The cherry on the cake was the service and the staff. Courteous, ever helpful and friendly. On more occasions than one they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Including the manager, Reshma.

Best Experience: The tour of North Sikkim can be very grueling, physically as well as mentally. The entire area is almost a secluded part of Sikkim with its own rules, culture and temperaments. The people, though generally friendly and helpful, can be temperamental. The manager at Ttakshang Residency had organised our trip to North Sikkim. While the tour was pleasant, the trip back to Gangtok was particularly harsh. We had paid the entire amount in advance - this amount included a tour of certain points. Now, it being our first visit, we had no idea that we are allowed to visit only those points that are pre-decided in the itinerary. First time travellers to North Sikkim must note that every point comes with a fee - so if you have paid 10K, it will cover 3 points and your stay. If you visit any additional point, despite booking an exclusive vehicle, you will need to pay an additional charge. So one must be well aware of the points that are listed in the itinerary. We missed this little point. Upon reaching Lachung (North Sikkim) and having covered certain points, our driver offered us to drive us to an additional point. We thought it was all a part of the tour, so we agreed. It is only while returning from Lachung that he stopped the car halfway and demanded extra money (a pretty hefty sum) for the additional point. All negotiations had broken down and it was almost a fight between the driver - a localite and us - a hapless, stranded couple. This is when we contacted the manager at Ttakshang Residency and she came to our rescue. She negotiated on our behalf and the matter was sorted, and we resumed our journey. We owe a thanks to Ttakshang Residency for that.
