    The Habitat and the fact that it topped the ratings in it's category drew me to check it out in detail.The room though a wee bit small, was very cosy and clean. The interiors of the place are very tastefully done and I was quite impressed. The staff was very friendly and courteous and never failed to greet us with a smile. The location suited us perfectly and everything was just a short walk away. We didn't have any meals at the hotel so I can't really comment on the food. However, the complimen ...more

    Worst experience. This hotel is so poor that it doesnt even deserve any rating. 1) No lift 2) Room size not even 50 sqft- No space to move. 3) No AIr Condition 3) There is an old fan and in July Aug it was extremely hot & stuffy 4) Overpriced-they think they are five star hotel but its not even one star. 5) Staffs are good and they try to accommodate requests- however they cant accommodate as property itself is crap. 6) Worst location- from any angle you will have slum view. 7) Bathroom stinks- ...more

    The good thing about the hotel is the location and the aesthetically done interiors. It's in the centre of Shillong and all the popular markets and cafes are just minutes away. But, strangely, the hotel isn't air-conditioned. We stayed in the first week of October and it was warm, even in the mornings. (They do provide fans). Also, there is no room service. So, there is no way to get even a bottle of water at night. Other than breakfast, you will have to order your lunch and dinner hours in advance. The staff is courteous, though.

    It was a great experience specially because of the adjacent Terrace with one of the rooms. The rooms are small but they are beautifully done. The ladies had no issues with the washrooms. Hotel staff were very helpful. Finding the Hotel was a little difficult . Strict advice don't use GPS for finding the Hotel . GPS will misguide you. Didnt get a chance to try the Dinner but could get up for Breakfast . It was basic and filling.

      5/5

      This place is away from the hustling and bustling of the busy city, yet nearer to on of the best hangouts, i.e. Shillong Cafe. The stay at the Habitat was a pleasant and one of the best experiences. The facilities provided were worth the money and the food was especially the kind to make one home-sick :). Will look forward to share an awesome experience once again with The Habitat. But, yes there is dearth of Parking Space in case one thinks of driving in his/her private vehicle. But, I guess that problem will be solved soon enough.

    • Sourav Roy
      5/5

      My family and myself stayed in this hotel for 4 days and it is one of the best stay we ever had in many of our family tours. Each staff of the hotel was extremely responsive, cordial and always ready to help. The entire hotel is aesthetically designed and overall ambiance is very cozy. Shillong cafe is within 50 meters and if you wish to have lunch or dinner, they serve you tasty food at extremely reasonable price. Complimentary Breakfast is good. Overall I would give them 5 out of 5.

      My stay at The Habitat was extraordinary. The rooms are so pretty, their common areas are aesthetic to the core - extremely instagramable. Their hospitality is warm and they have all kinds of facilities available. It's extra clean and the best part - they all understand English (which is rare in Shillong). I absolutely loved my stay and I 100% recommend it❤️

      Stay at The Habitat Shillong was pleasant. The premises is beautiful and well maintatined. The interior designing and decoration is excellent. Plats, flowers, wooden furniture, curtains and glass panels, antique artifacts add to the easthatic value. Ideal place to have trainings and the peaceful stay here. Go anywhere you will find Buddha everywhere.

      This is a very good boutique guesthouse. The location was bit hard for first time but once you reach the place it has all the necessities nearby. Service was excellent and staff's extremely cordial.rooms are very clean and well maintained. Rooms are a bit small and dont have much food options.

      Wonderful stay. Limited rooms..and that makes the difference..the interior decoration..its like a painting. For the family people it will be a refrasing experience. Dinner menu is also limited but i think it is a temporary phase for the hotel or otherwise it need to be upgraded.
