The Mayfair Resort – Gangtok, India

Disney Gone Wrong!

Room Type: Deluxe Room with Balcony
Stay: 1 Night

After another terrifying journey from Pelling to Gangtok we arrive at the Mayfair for one night.

Arrival

An extremely busy hotel with a Thai does disney entrance area. Mr Shu does his thing while we again wait outside for a while and we are taken to our room through a maze of corridors and stairs and by this time we are slightly dazed and bewildered, it was a miracle we found our way back out.

Room

A decent sized bedroom room, fairly clean and comfortable with a huge empty bathroom of a similar size with a wardrobe, sink, toilet and bath. 

We did have a good size balcony which would have been really nice except for the smell of human urine.

Dining

buffet style breakfast in the main restaurant at the Nile Plaza with local delicacies combined with a la carte service and traditional western breakfast fayre with healthy options

Here’s where there was a surprise, a huge busy restaurant with buffet but the food was surprisingly good, they even had a pasta station. 

Breakfast was not bad either with eggs cooked to order, cereals, jams and toast.
