SOKE A BOUTIQUE HOMESTAY

We had a relaxing stay at this property. The staff is warm sweet and welcoming. They will take care of any request you have. The hospitality is amazing. The food was home like which we loved and enjoyed. It's 20 to 30 mins from the city and has a lot of nearby monasteries and locations close by to visit. The staff will help you to get any taxi you may need to travel across with ease. The view is breathtaking. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to cut off from the hustle and bustle.

1. It is not at all home stay. It is commercially run leased hotel. So if you are looking homestay....it's a big No. 2. Much far from the main city. Google shows only 5-6 kms but in hilly areas roads are not good plus traffic makes your journey of more than 30 minutes. You won't find any taxi. Manager has given some taxi person's number but he didn't came on time. We have to wait for 30.minutes even though didn't get another one. 3. Views are ok only. You will find more scenic view from other hotels which are near by city. During traveling to all over sikkim you will get more scenic view of mountains. 4. Only positive thing was food. 5. We had 2 nights booking but due to some emergency we had to stay 1 night more in North Sikkim so reduced our stay by 1 night. I had confirmed with manager, inform everything he agreed that we don't need to pay for extra night. But at our check out time he changed n denied about our talk. Normally local people don't cheat like this. Owner of hotel is local. But run by Bengali people. 5 So if you are planning your self, don't book anything advance go there see and take room. You will always get better options. Gangtok has plenty of hotels. Even in pick season also.....Soke was empty. So don't get in hurry to book hotels.

Overall a good hotel. Rooms were decent, and we particularly liked the location and the hilly views of Gangtok. There was an unfortunate issue around booking the room which caused us a lot of headache and arguments with the hotel staff (basically, do not book through Agoda) - otherwise, we had a pretty good stay here and good memories.

We had stayed here for 4 nights. The rooms were excellent and the view from our hotel rooms was mind-blowing.They also provide tasty food. Staff here are very polite and helpful.

We were 9 members in our family consisting of senior citizens too. The stay, hospitality and care were very impressive more particularly Manager Bablu was really helpful and caring to the tourists. Certainly recommend to my friends.

If you are looking forward towards having a leisure stay away from the bustling crowd and shops of the city, this is your place. However, one of the foremost things to keep in mind is travelling around. If you have a car with you it would not be of any trouble but in our case since we didn't have a vehicle with us we had to call the reception each time to book us a cab. The owner and staff helped us in finding a cab even during busy hours but it takes around 15 minutes to even half an hour sometimes for the cabs to arrive. We sort of anticipated this so we were pretty chilled about it. Both the house keepers (Ravi and Neeruta) are gem, they were super nice and made sure to cater to our needs to the best of their ability. The room was clean, cozy and budget friendly and upon request we also got one with a spectacular view of the hills (we paid extra 500 for 2 nights). The food was simple and homely just as how we prefer. We requested for a room heater however we learnt that it was chargeable (300) which generally isn't the case in most accommodations in hill stations. Overall, I would rate the hotel a 7.5 (1.5 star extra because of the hospitality of the staff).

Nestled in the heart of a picturesque valley, this boutique hotel is a true sanctuary for those seeking tranquility, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and impeccable service, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. Food- The hotel's restaurant is a haven for food lovers. Every meal was a masterpiece, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that highlighted the flavors of the region. From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners featuring exquisite local and international dishes, every bite was a delight. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors were well-balanced, making dining here an experience in itself. Cleanliness: Spotless and Hygienic Cleanliness is a top priority at this hotel. Every corner, from the lobby to the rooms and dining area, was spotless. The housekeeping team was meticulous, ensuring that the rooms were fresh and tidy every day. The linens were crisp, the bathrooms gleaming, and every detail was taken care of to maintain a high standard of hygiene. Comfort: A Cozy Retreat The rooms were beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with rustic charm. The plush bedding, soft lighting, and thoughtfully curated decor created a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The window views of the valley were breathtaking, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea. Ambiance & Location: A Dreamy Escape Surrounded by lush greenery and majestic mountains, the hotel's location is nothing short of magical. The serene ambiance, away from the chaos of city life, makes it an ideal retreat for nature lovers. Whether it was sipping coffee by the fireplace, taking a leisurely walk around the property, or simply enjoying the stunning views, every moment felt like a dream.By the way it's just 10-15 mins drive from MG road. Service: Warm and Attentive The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Their attention to detail, personalized service, and genuine warmth made us feel truly valued. Whether it was arranging a dinner, helping with local sightseeing recommendations, or accommodating special requests, their hospitality was flawless. Final Verdict: A Must-Visit Boutique Haven This boutique hotel is an absolute gem for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, exceptional food, and a serene escape amidst nature. Every aspect, from the ambiance to the service, is thoughtfully curated to offer a luxurious yet homely experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful retreat, or a gastronomic journey, this place is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

The place is a bit away from main city but cabs are available so that's not an issue as I liked the quiet. The staff and owners are friendly and very helpful. Mr. Legsang helped me plan my itinerary and also helped me with a good cab driver for the rest of the trip. I would certainly recommend the place for couple or family stay. The food available was good and tasty. The place has great valley view rooms and cleanliness is top notch.
