Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Relyn Suite Shillong Escape!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Relyn Suite Shillong Escape! – A Shillong Story (and, Uh, Some Really Slick Amenities)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind adventure in Shillong… and "Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Relyn Suite Shillong Escape!" is the name of the game. Honestly? The name is NOT kidding. This isn't your grandma's guesthouse, folks. This is… well, let's just say it’s the kind of place that makes you want to wear a silk robe everywhere.
Before I dive into the nitty-gritty, let me preface this with a confession: I'm a terrible planner. I'm the kind of person who throws a few things into a suitcase and hopes for the best. So, when I saw the words "Shillong Escape" I was picturing… well, a slightly nicer hostel. Boy, was I wrong.
First Impressions: The Grand Entrance (and My Initial Skepticism)
From the moment the car pulled up, I knew I was in for something different. The "car park [on-site]" looked less like a parking lot and more like a… meticulously landscaped garden with a space for cars. Seriously. And "valet parking?" I felt like a celebrity! (Spoiler alert: I am not.) The "doorman" greeted me with such genuine warmth, it made me question my entire existence (in a good way). And the "elevator?" Thank the heavens. My suitcase and I are best friends, but the feeling's not mutual when it comes to stairs.
Accessibility: A Real Win (and a Few Tinges of Doubt)
Now, I always appreciate good accessibility. The blurb promised "Facilities for disabled guests," and I saw an "elevator," which is a good sign. The exterior didn't seem to offer the best accessibility but it could have been worse, I'm not here to be a mobility expert but I can see where the hotel could improve.
Rooms: My Personal Shangri-La
Okay, let's talk about the Relyn Suite itself. This is where things get… ahem… unbelievable. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double check. Oh, the bliss of a darkened room after a long day of exploring. Free Wi-Fi? Yep, and it worked! (A small miracle, truly.) And the "extra long bed?" Let's just say, I slept like a rock star. (A very well-rested rock star.)
The bathroom? Forget about it. A "separate shower/bathtub?" Yes, please! The "slippers" were the softest things my feet have ever encountered. And let's not forget the "complimentary tea" and "coffee/tea maker"! My caffeine addiction was completely satisfied. There was even a "mini bar" stocked with… well, let's just say I may have possibly sampled a few things. Oops.
More importantly, the room was immaculate. "Room sanitization opt-out available?" I'm all for saving the planet but I'm also a germophobe in disguise, so I opted in full force. And I felt completely safe and in control of my hygiene, they seem to take "Cleanliness and safety" very seriously.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Struggles with the Buffet)
Okay, food, this is a big one. They had "Asian breakfast," "Western breakfast," a "Vegetarian restaurant," all of it. And a "buffet in restaurant." Now, me and buffets have a complicated relationship. I tend to overeat. It's a problem. But… the food here was so good, I couldn't help myself! The "Asian cuisine in restaurant" was seriously delicious. I ate my weight in momos. (No regrets.) The "breakfast [buffet]" was truly a feast. And the coffee? Forget that stale-brown-water you get at some hotels, this was proper coffee.
There's a "Coffee shop," for when you need a quick fix. They also provide "Room service [24-hour]," which is dangerous… in the best way possible. And the "bottle of water" in the room? A lifesaver after a long day of exploring.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Spa Day Gone Wild!
This is where I REALLY lost myself. The "spa" is… well, it’s heavenly. I opted for the "massage" and it was so good I almost fell asleep mid-rubdown. (I think I did, actually.) The "Pool with view" was stunning, and as I sat there in the evening, it felt so surreal. The "Gym/fitness" center looked pretty decent, but I’m not gonna lie, I spent most of my time in the "Sauna" and "Steamroom." Pure bliss. They even had the elusive "Foot bath." Because why not?
Things to Do (Beyond Eating and Lounging)
Shillong itself is beautiful. The hotel gives access to some incredible opportunities. I recommend the concierge! They can help you enjoy your trip.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of EVERYTHING!
Okay, seriously, the "Services and conveniences" list is basically a novel. "Concierge," "Laundry service," "Daily housekeeping," "Cash withdrawal," "Gift/souvenir shop," "Safety deposit boxes”… They had it all! And the "Staff trained in safety protocol" made me feel super secure. The "contactless check-in/out" was a nice touch, especially in these times.
They even had "Internet access – wireless" in all the public areas.
The Real Deal: A Few Quirks and Imperfections
Okay, let’s be real. No place is perfect.
- The "Happy Hour" could’ve been longer. Just saying.
- Car park [on-site]: It was great, but I'm not sure how accessible it is without a ramp.
- I'm not entirely sure what "Shrine" means. I didn't go in, but, hey, it's there!
The Bottom Line: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. Without a doubt. "Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Relyn Suite Shillong Escape!" is not just a hotel. It's an experience. It's a chance to unwind, indulge, and feel utterly pampered. (Yes, even when you're wearing a silk robe at breakfast. Don't judge.)

Timmins Getaway: Regal Motel's Unbeatable Deals!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this "itinerary" for the Relyn Suite in Shillong is less "rigid plan" and more "slightly-chaotic diary entry of a sleep-deprived tourist." Seriously, don't rely on this. Consider it a suggestion, a suggestion peppered with my questionable life choices.
Arrival - Day 1: The Arrival and the (Almost) Panic
- Morning (ish): Landed in Guwahati. Okay, smooth(ish) flight. The connection to Shillong? Absolutely not. The taxi driver? Sweet, patient dude who clearly knew a thing or two about navigating those insane Indian roads. I swear, he dodged more potholes than actual cars. My stomach churned the entire ride.
- Afternoon: Finally, finally, made it to the Relyn Suite. The building looks kind of new. I had a minor internal freak-out because my travel pillow was missing. Crucial development. How am I supposed to survive plane journeys without it?
- Late Afternoon: Checked in, room is lovely. Seriously. The view. The bed. I may have spent a good hour sprawled on it, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember the last time I slept for more than six hours.
- Evening: Found a little cafe nearby. Ate some momos. They burned my mouth, but I didn't care. The sheer exhaustion I felt was so intense that the pain was welcome. Decided to try to find some tea and went for a walk.
Day 2: The Lakes and the Regrets
- Morning: Woke up feeling surprisingly okay. Maybe the altitude. Maybe all that sleep I missed. Was going to go to the Elephant Falls. Heard it's gorgeous. However, I lost my phone and the thought of trekking around trying to find a tourist attraction felt unappealing
- Afternoon: Decided to stay at the Relyn Suite. I watched TV. I read a book. I ate some cookies I stole from breakfast. I felt oddly content, which is a dangerous emotion when you're supposed to be on an adventure.
- Evening: Went to a local restaurant. The food was incredible, although I still ordered the same thing and struggled to not burn my mouth. Attempted to order a taxi back when my phone died. I ended up having to walk.
- Night: After a while, I gave up and asked for some directions. Got a taxi which felt like a win.
Day 3: The Ward's Lake Saga (aka: This One's Going to the Therapist)
- Morning: Ward's Lake. It's beautiful, right? Except that's all I felt. I walked around the lake, got a boat ride. I tried to pretend I was enjoying myself.
- Afternoon: Decided I was done feeling like a grumpy tourist, returned to the hotel for a nap
- Evening: Tried a new restaurant. The food was delicious. I felt slightly less "existential dread" and slightly more "full."
- Night: Attempted to make a plan for the next day. Failed. Fell asleep staring at the ceiling again.
Day 4: The Markets and the Unexpected Joy
- Morning: Decided to finally face the market area in Shillong. It was a sensory overload in the best possible way. The smells! The colors! The sheer busyness of it all! I bought a ridiculously oversized scarf and an umbrella.
- Afternoon: Found a tiny, hole-in-the-wall chai shop. Sat there for ages, just watching people go by. The chai was perfect. The people-watching was even better. It almost felt like a real-life movie scene.
- Evening: Acknowledged to myself that I may be falling in love with Shillong.
- Night: Realized I was running out of time and had failed to visit half the places I wanted to see. Had a small panic attack. Forced myself to go back out.
Day 5: The Departure (and the Secret Wish to Stay)
- Morning: Woke up with a sense of calm. Packed. Wrote a postcard to myself. Sat on the balcony for hours, just breathing in the mountain air.
- Afternoon: Headed to the airport. The connection wasn't as bad this time. Still, the thought of the missing travel pillow kept lingering for the time being.
- Evening: On the plane. Looking at my watch. My phone is dead. I hope I'm not late for my next destination.
- Night: As the plane took off, I realized I would be back to the Relyn Suite and Shillong again.
Final Thoughts (or, My Existential Ramblings):
This trip wasn't perfect. I lost things, I felt anxious, I ate too many momos, and I maybe, definitely, didn't see everything. But, in the end, it's the messy, imperfect bits that make it real, right? The little moments of connection, the unexpected joys, the quiet beauty of a city that slowly, subtly, stole a piece of my heart. And that, my friends, is a trip worth taking.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Relyn Suite Shillong Escape! - FAQs (Because Let's Be Honest, You Need Answers!)
Okay, Spill. Is the Relyn Suite *Actually* Worth the Hype? Or Just Like, Instagram Bait?
Alright, look, I walked in there, and my jaw *dropped*. Seriously. Pictures? They don't do it justice. Think "luxe cabin in the clouds," meets "Shillong royalty." It's the kind of place where you feel like you should be wearing a smoking jacket and sipping single malt, even if your "smoking jacket" is actually just your favorite flannel. Was it worth it? Ummm...yes. Absolutely freaking yes. Even though, and this is mortifying, I almost tripped over my own feet the first time I walked in. The sheer *size* of the place... whoa. My clumsy self almost did some interpretive dancing into a priceless antique vase!
What's the Deal with the Views? They Look Insane. Are They... *Actually* Insane?
The views. Oh. My. God. The views. Okay, so, I've seen some pretty vistas in my time. Mountains, oceans, you name it. But the Relyn Suite... it's different. It's *Shillong* different. You wake up, and you feel like the whole world is spread out just for you. Fog rolling in, the sun peeking through... Honestly, I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, feeling all philosophical and contemplating the meaning of life. And then, I remembered I hadn't had coffee and, you know, reality set back in. But, the point is, the views… they’re breathtaking. And make you feel… important? Like you're the main character in some super dramatic mountain-themed movie.
Tell Me About the Food! Is it All Just Fancy Avocado Toast and Tiny Portions, Or... ?
Okay, so, I'm a foodie. A *real* foodie. And the Relyn Suite's food? Delicious. Seriously delicious. They had this breakfast spread… I'm not even kidding, I nearly cried. Fresh fruit, fluffy pancakes, gorgeous omelets made to order, and this coffee... oh, the coffee! Forget about those tiny, trendy portions; this was real, hearty stuff. And the local Khasi dishes? *Amazing*. I mean, I went through a phase of ordering everything with the word "pork" in it. Don't judge me! I was on vacation! And... let's just say my tastebuds were doing a happy dance. Though, I, um, *may* have slightly overdone it on the first night’s dinner and had to loosen my belt. Worth it. Every. Single. Bite.
Is it kid-friendly? My tiny humans are… well, let's just say *active*.
Okay, here's the honest truth. I don't have kids, so I can't personally vouch for it. However, the general vibe of the Relyn Suite leans towards "romantic getaway" and "quiet relaxation." I wouldn't necessarily say it's *built* for toddlers to run wild. But, if they are the well-behaved kind, I guess. But again, I am no professional. The suites are spacious, but you know your kids! Plus, the furniture! I could imagine a few tears and a broken vase, if I’m truly honest. If your kids are the quiet explorers, then maybe. If they're the "climb every surface" type, maybe look for a place with a more… robust decor.
What About the Staff? Are They, You Know, Actually *Nice*? Or Just Putting on a Show?
The staff? Oh, they were phenomenal. Genuinely, incredibly nice. Not the fake-nice you get sometimes, where you can practically smell the forced smile; this was the real deal. They were attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I needed extra towels ( I can’t help it, I love towels!) and they brought them immediately. I was having trouble connecting to the wifi, and someone came *immediately* to fix it. The people are genuinely warm and so friendly! I mean, seriously, I felt like I was being pampered by friends. Honestly, I was sad to leave them. This may sound so lame, but I almost gave the guy cleaning the courtyard a hug because he was so nice!
Okay, The Spa? Worth It? I need to know!
Okay, the spa. This is a biggie. I'm a spa fanatic. Like, I've been to more spas than I've had hot dinners. And the Relyn Suite spa? *Amazing*. Seriously, I could have stayed there all day. The massage I got was… well, let's just say I nearly drifted off into a blissful coma. The ambiance was perfect – soft music, gentle lighting, and the scent of essential oils… pure heaven. Book a treatment. Seriously. Just do it. My skin felt like silk afterwards. I walked out of there feeling like a whole new person. I highly recommend the Khasi massage. Your body will thank you. Just... be prepared to not want to do anything else for the rest of the day.
What's the Wifi Like? Because, you know… gotta stay connected (ugh).
The wifi was pretty good! Not perfect, but good enough for checking emails, posting pictures, etc. There were a couple of momentary blips, but nothing that ruined my social media flow. However, honestly? Try to disconnect. Put your phone away. The point of the Relyn Suite is to escape, to relax, to… you know… *be*. Look at the views, read a book, talk to your partner. The world will still be there when you get back. I'm saying this, even though I was on my phone for half the time, I felt a little guilty about it!. Let the tech take a backseat. You’ll thank yourself later, I promise.
Anything I Should Be Aware Of Before I Go? Any Hidden Costs? Secret Caveats?
Hidden costs? Not really. They’re pretty transparent about everything. However, a heads-up: Shillong can get chilly. Pack layers, even if you're going in what you think is "summer." And, if you plan on exploring, be prepared for some hills and stairs. My poor knees were screaming by the end of the trip. (Worth it, though!) Also, book in advance! The Relyn Suite is Popular. You don’t want to miss out on the chance to experience this slice of heaven ( or possibly just a very nice mountain-themed hotel room...).
