Hotel Red Palace Hotel & Resort

Phantastisch! Alle sehr bemüht. Zimmer tip top sauber. Essen wunderbar. In Yuksom sicher eine Klasse für sich. Ausgesprochen ruhig, da ca 5 min vom Ort entfernt!

The location is the star here. As we traveled in the off season, we had the hotel to ourselves. The rooms are basic but comfortable & clean, they have stunning views of the valley. The staff was less due to the off season but everyone was helpful & they arranged great traditional Sikkimese meals for us. This needs to be pre ordered. The hotel is a bit far & uphill from the main road. The path to the hotel is cobbled & elderly folks may find it difficult to walk. Would suggest using a car for this. But, once there the location makes up for it. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Hotel is situated in a hill top amidst forest. Its an extremely quiet and tranquil ambience. Rooms are large with all the necessary amenities. The caretaker Pawan is helpful. The food is descent. They have a bar. Prices are reasonable but do not expect a lot of options.

We stayed for 2 nights as family in the suite room of this hotel. Sonam ma'am's attitude towards customer service is excellent. She helped us in all possible ways to get a car for our onward journey. Though the food quality is average but the service is very good by Pavan. Hotel is very clean and well maintained.

I stayed here for three nights in early June'22. This hotel is best suited if you are looking for spending some time away from the crowd and noise. In the mornings and sometimes throughout the day, one can hear various birds chirping and the other sounds of nature. It is a beautiful experience. It was already raining when we reached Yuksom, and found the mountains very fresh and green with the rain having washed the trees all around. My primary agenda wasn't tourism and so I perfectly enjoyed my stay in the room enjoying the rain outside. Rainfall in the mountains can be beautiful. The services are excellent and the staff is very polite & courteous. Pawan ji (the gentleman who served us with food) took very good care of us. We requested for a car to pick us up at the Bagdogra airport and Mr Mangal who drives a WagonR was sent to receive us. He is a very kind and polite gentleman and we absolutely loved the services and are thankful to Red Palace for assigning him to our duty. The restaurant is awesome and serves various Sikkimese, Chinese and Indian cuisine. One should try out the locally brewed wine (we tried the Kiwi wine and loved it). The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained with nice flower gardens. The rooms are spacious and overlooking the mountains. They are well equipped with electric kettle and tea and coffee and milk powder etc for you to make yourself a few cups of hot beverage. This was particularly helpful for us. The room are very tastefully furnished and set with sofas and chairs to relax. The bathrooms come with a bathtub (at least my room had one, not sure of the others) and with a geyser so that there is no problem with getting hot water. There however are frequent power cuts in Yuksom and I am not sure if the generator can help in operating the geysers or not. The open rooftop on the 3rd floor is an excellent place to sit & relax and gaze out to the mountains. I was very fortunate that amidst all this rain, I was still granted a view of the Kabru South and Kabru North peaks, from the hotel itself. A couple of areas where improvements can be had: 1. Credit cards are not accepted. Either cash or UPI payments only accepted. It will be good if credit cards can also be accepted. 2. The initial part of the approach road is very broken and it is quite a struggle even for the cars like WagonR / Alto to climb the broken rocky road. I will request the hotel management to please take it up with the appropriate authorities (most likely forest department) to get the approach road metalled. This is the only reason why I am giving 4 stars, else I would have given full 5 stars to this place.

I stayed at hotel Red Palace, Yuksom with family for 2 nights and it was a fantastic experience overall. It's a classy hotel amidst beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious with all necessary amenities, the food was super tasty with huge variety (we'd opted for a package with breakfast + dinner) and staff is polite and attentive. We loved the hospitality by the owner and staff. I strongly recommend this place for a very comfortable stay in Yuksom. We are also looking forward for our next visit to hotel Red Palace.
