Lovely place. But, lacks the charm that a hotel outside city limits, in the middle of a forest or natural environment. (Like Vivanta in Coorg..)

Excellent inside the hotel

Buffet ( dinner, breakfast) has a variety of food to cater to different palate . Better to go with north Indian food than South Indian tiffin items like idli, dosa, Pongal etc.

Curd is fresh and good. Amongst the desserts, moong dal halwa and banana coffee delight are worth a mention.

Service is good. Staff are friendly and polite.

Lotus in the garden outside are so big and brilliant .

Rooms are nice, view outside is limited to a normal city view. Fan may be good to have in the room, though the airconditioning is good.

Cons: Bathroom with a bathtub should not be given to senior citizens. For one, the height of the tub is too much to climb. One has to be extremely careful not to slip while climbing into the tub.

Check-in time of 2 pm ( though it's pretty much standard in the 5 star hotels) is a little late, considering the fact that the direct flight arrival time from Mumbai is before 10 am

Overall, pros outweigh the cons. Have an enjoyable stay in Vivanta by Taj, Guwahati

On returning back from Shillong, we stayed at Vivanta again. Very pleasantly surprised to get a free upgrade to the suite.

Suites, not only had bathtubs, but also shower rooms. Yay. Extra restroom. Humongous rooms. TV in all the rooms. Just like the previous stay, courteous staff, good food spread. Thanks to Leesha, found my charger, which I had left 3 days back in the room.

And this time, the suites had good outside view.

I couldn't find any cons, but for a very minor one. This is not only in Vivanta, but almost all the star hotels. The switchboard near the bed and the shower panel have markers or writings in the same colour, very small letters. I normally take a photo of the panel and zoom it on my phone to read.😊

I, once again thank everyone of Vivanta staff for their courteous service.🙏
