You stayed there a couple of days with family... They are really very good people and ofcourse the Location of the hotel is just awesome....the pet Anzo...as well as the staffs there .... Also takes good care of the guests

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 in Red Palace for 3 nights. As August is off season, we had the place to ourselves. We had traveled all the way to Yuksom for peace and tranquility, Red Palace was the perfect place for this. It is a bit uphill & you have to take a cobbled road to get there (cars can go up). We had the best of views, so good that we didn’t want to leave. The staff, mainly Karma & Pema were extremely helpful. Thanks to Sonam for having handled all our queries and booking so well. During off season, chefs in most hotels are on leave, it was the same here & it was communicated to us in advance. They arranged a very healthy, hearty & delicious Sikkimese thali for dinners. The staff was quick in addressing any concerns or requests. We look forward to coming here again. Hope the tranquility persists!

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.
