Great location, great food, clean and incredible staff. They made our stay very much comfortable and memorable. Food is really superb they have a pure vegetarian restaurant, must try their indian cuisine special dal makhani, aloo dum. Most recommended places to visit and stay in shillong.
As per rate the hotel should be deluxe. But it looks like a normal village hotel. Cleaning is very very poor. So many insects and rats are moving inside the room.
I recently stayed at the Ladybird Hotel for two nights, 14th-15th September, with a group of women friends. The hotel’s prime location in Police Bazar was a definite highlight, as the market was just steps away. We arrived late on the 14th and to our surprise, the entrance was only accessible from the parking lot. We ordered dinner and while the service was prompt, the food was excessively salty and disappointing. The chef was courteous enough to apologize after we provided feedback, assuring us that future meals would be better. Thankfully, dinner the next night was indeed delicious. Unfortunately, one of our assigned rooms was on the third floor, where all the adjacent rooms were occupied by construction workers. That night, loud hammering noises started at 8 pm, which disturbed us, sounding like drilling right above. We tried calling reception multiple times, but no one answered, so we went to the lobby at 11 pm to find it completely deserted with no staff in sight. We felt unsafe and uneasy as all of us were women and hurried back to our room. We were left wondering who we would contact in case of a medical emergency or any unforeseen circumstances, as there was no hotel staff, our local contact present throughout the entire night. Construction noise with lot of drilling and hammering continued until 6 AM the next day, resulting in a sleepless night and headaches. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, particularly for women travelers due to serious safety concerns.

Orange Homestay is an excellent accommodation and is above Frank motors (Tata motors dealer). The rooms are spacious and very clean. The terrace is awesome as they have many flowering plants which are blooming. The food is also good but at times the wait time is more. The staff are very helpful and service oriented. They don't expect Tips. Very polite and well mannered. Breakfast options are limited but serving is generous and unlimited. There is only 1 chef and he arrives around 7 am. So the earliest you can expect the Breakfast is at 7:30 am. It would be either of Poori or Bhature or Aloo Paratha ***** with bread toast and bread sandwich. Whatever they cook is tasty. Coming to the drawbacks. 1) No lift. If you get room at 3rd floor then it will be difficult for elderly 2) The accommodation is on Laitmor/Mawblei main road which is always busy and very noisy. Sleeping in the night will be slightly difficult due to the vehicles making noise. 3) Very far away from Police bazaar. You need at least 1 hour by car to reach police bazaar though the distance is only 6 kms. Shillong traffic is pathetic. Taxi guys fleece you. It costed us 400 to come from Police Bazar to Orange homestay. There is no car parking as well at Police bazaar. So if you are keen to spend time on shopping then Orange homestay may not be the right place. We stayed in room 111 at 3rd floor and the room is massive in size. Very thoughtfully stocked with hot packs, geyser, Air conditioning which can also double up as heater, extra blankets etc.
訪訪客We were a group and we booked the suite. It is a huge room with 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and 1 single bed. 5 people can comfortably stay there and it also has 2 private balconies. The first night was terrible for us as in such a huge room there was just one small wall fan and hence we had to open the windows which resulted in a swarm of mosquitos coming in as it faces the lawn. As it is zostel, there was no service at night and the next morning we raised a complaint to the ***ager. He was the most helpful ***ager I have ever seen. He got everything done within hours and post that our stay was pleasant and so wonderful that we also extended for 2 more nights. The entire staff is very accomodating, good to talk to and soft spoken. The food at the restaurant is delicious and they also cater to individual needs. The only drawback is that they are extremely slow. If the cafe is full, do not expect your order to be served for an hour. Morning breakfast times, we would give the order, go to the room.. have a bath and get ready and still the order would not have been prepared.. Coffees and drinks are given in a jiffy.. But nevertheless, they also catered to serve us at late hours by keeping the food ready for us even after the restaurant shut down. Overall, it is a wonderful stay.. There are some hiccups (which all hostels have unless you opt for a 5 star hotel) but the best part is they listen to your grievances and act immediately. A big kudos to Santosh - without his help, we would have been in a terrible soup.. He definitely deserves a raise.. Thank You Santosh for everything!
訪訪客Very good people and nice place to have a holiday tour. It may be couple or with family is a naturalistic enjoyment. Not only that the weather is so nice which will remind me of a nice memorable tour.
