巴格多格拉旅程酒店(Orbit Hotel - Bagdogra)

My earlier stay here was a bad experience though the staff had been veryt nice. At that time the receptionist, Mr. Sunil had told me that their group just took over the property and after the overhaul, I would find it much better during the next visit. His words proved right. The difficult location in the rear of a shopping complex something which they cannot change. But what they could change, the walls and ceilings of the common area, rooms etc were upgraded beautifully. I ahd words of appreciation as I left the next day. The food as expected was very good with good old Ram helping me choose the appropriate items for breakfast and dinner.

The hotel, its location and rooms looked great in the internet. But once I reached Bagdogra, it was a togh job to locate it. It has a boad tucked in an alley. Its location is inside a small shopping complex cum apartment and that too behind it. The reception is in the third floor and one has to climb rickety stairs to reach there. Once at the reception, it looked a decent place. The receptionist who received me was a highly competent person named Akash Rai. The room was quite large and enough furniture for everything. The walls of the room looked old and ill maintained. The lighting was poor. The bath was tiny but effective. The overall impression was that I am in to a 'moth eaten' place. There was limited options when it came to food but the quality of food served was acceptable. On enquiries, I was told that the new ***agement had just purchased it and plan to revamp the hotel. May be. If they do so, then it may become a habitable place. The prices looked too much even if the property is revamped not to speak of the current condition
