Excellent Hotel at Afforable Price

We chose to stay at The Golden Crest as the reviews and rooms looked good and it was located at s good main location. We had asked for a room decoration and the room was beautifully decorated. Thr staff were very helpful and rooms were superbly comfotable and elegantly furnished. We shifted to the Premium rooms which offered amazing views and were large. Food was tasty and the hotel had lift, power backup , free wifi , buffet breakfast and all services expected of a good hotel, at very affordable rates.MG marg is within 2 km।of the hotel and we got taxis easily from।in front of the hotel round the clock.

Poor value for money, highly overrated, 100% no-no

Quite disappointed with the overall value proposition of this hotel for the following reasons: 1. Rooms are dingy and smelly, especially the back facing ones 2. Dirty linen - spotty bed sheets, half cleaned towels 3. Damp and dirty carpet 4. Unwashed cups and saucers 5. Dirty wall papers and room corners 6. Limited breakfast options 7. Rude hotel management

Taking advantage of tourists by overcharging

This is the worst hotel stay I have ever had. Being a Canadian, I checked into the hotel and asked the hotel staff to arrange a cab to Nathula Pass. The hotel staff take advantage of outsiders/tourists by overcharging for all the services. When I confronted them and asked them to match the price they acted rude and asked me to check out of the hotel as I was letting others know of their ponzi scheme. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone
