My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The staff were courteous and attentive, which I appreciated, but the hotel itself felt outdated and didn't match the luxury advertised, especially with the lack of basic amenities. The room was spacious with a great view, but the maintenance issues were too noticeable to ignore. Overall, I felt the price didn't align with the quality of the experience.

I stayed in an executive club room that had a stunning mountain view, but it was marred by creaky wooden floors and a lack of privacy on the balcony. Overall, it felt more dated than luxurious.

This hotel has a rich heritage and is conveniently located opposite Mahakal Temple, with spacious rooms and good Wi-Fi. However, the cleanliness in the washrooms needs attention, and the slow room service can be quite frustrating. While the valley view is pleasant, don't expect dramatic mountain scenery.

My stay was quite nice overall, with a comfortable and spacious room that offered a lovely valley view. The location is just a short walk to the mall and other attractions, making it convenient.

This resort has a wonderful atmosphere that feels like a home away from home, with stunning views of the mountains. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and courteous, which adds to the charm of the stay. However, the rooms could use some maintenance, and the dining options were rather limited. For the price paid, I expected a better overall experience, especially regarding the condition of the rooms.

Staying at Resort Central Gleneagles was an absolute delight. The location is superb, right at the Chowrasta, yet it feels like a cozy retreat away from the crowd. The views of Mount Kanchenjunga from the balcony made the experience even more memorable. The rooms are beautifully designed with modern amenities and a charming rustic feel. The staff was incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, especially the sumptuous breakfast. I can't recommend this hotel enough, but the only downside was the slight crowd during peak hours on the mall.
