Luxury Siliguri Escape: Royal Vanilla Collection O Hotel & Banquet - A Messy, Marvelous Review! (SEO-ified, of course!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because I'm about to spill the chai (and the beans, and the everything) on the Luxury Siliguri Escape: Royal Vanilla Collection O Hotel & Banquet in Siliguri. It's not just a hotel; it's an experience. And let me tell you, I've had a few experiences in my time, from dodging rogue pigeons in Paris to accidentally ordering yak butter tea in Tibet. This one? Well, it was… memorable.
First Impressions: Access, Accessibility, and the Elevator of Dreams (and Possibly Doom)
Right off the bat, accessibility is a big deal, especially if you're lugging around luggage like I do. They've got all the usual boxes ticked – elevator, facilities for disabled guests (which, yay!) and a car park [on-site] that's thankfully free (score!). Finding my way to the hotel wasn't a total nightmare. The airport transfer option? Seriously considering it next time. Siliguri traffic can be a beast.
Now, about that elevator… it was… characterful. I'm not kidding, it squeaked and groaned like it was sharing its life story. It got me to my room eventually, so hey, points for persistence!
The Room: Vanilla Dreams and Blackout Curtains (Thank Goodness!)
My room? Ooooh, baby! Let's talk about the Available in all rooms features, shall we? Air conditioning (a MUST in the Siliguri heat!), a coffee/tea maker (essential for my caffeine addiction), and, bless the gods, blackout curtains! Those curtains were a lifesaver. I'm a light sleeper, and the ability to completely obliterate the outside world with those curtains was pure bliss. Free Wi-Fi in the room (yesssss!) and an Internet access – LAN option for the old school techies. Complimentary bottled water? Always appreciated. There's even a hair dryer, for those of you who aren't rocking the natural, wild-child look.
The bathtub looked inviting, but honestly, after a long day, I was more about that shower situation. The bedding was clean, and the room felt fresh and welcoming. Definitely clean, and that's a huge plus for me. They have daily housekeeping (godsend!), which kept everything shipshape.
Food, Glorious Food… and the Occasional Kitchen Mishap
Alright, let's dive into the Dining, drinking, and snacking scene because, let's be honest, that's where the real fun happens.
The restaurants offered a wide array of options, including Asian cuisine and International cuisine. I tried both – and, you know, mixed results. The Asian breakfast was, admittedly, a bit… interesting. Let’s just say, my taste buds were on an adventure. The Western breakfast was much more my speed. You can also get breakfast in room, if you want to hide in your blacked-out cocoon and eat in peace.
They had a bar, a coffee shop and a poolside bar (which I'm totally adding to my must-do list) and also restaurants, Asian cuisine and Western cuisine, so the variety is there. The buffet restaurant was alright, a little basic but adequate. The a la carte restaurant was definitely worth the visit. The bottle of water was necessary, and the coffee/tea in restaurant was definitely a plus.
Anecdote Alert!
I swear, I witnessed a minor kitchen drama involving a runaway roti and a very startled waiter. It was glorious and, in a weird way, endearing. It felt… real.
Relaxation Station: Spa, Sauna, and the Quest for Serenity
The ways to relax were plentiful. They had a Spa, Sauna, Spa/sauna and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. Sauna, Steamroom and massage were on the menu too. The Gym/fitness center looked well-equipped, though I'm not sure if I can honestly tell you, after enjoying food that I didn't go there. The pool with view was beautiful, especially at sunset.
Cleanliness and Safety, 'Cause Let's Be Real, We Need That
I gotta say, I was impressed. Cleanliness and safety seemed to be a top priority. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also have hand sanitizers everywhere, which is always a good sign. Plus, the staff followed staff trained in safety protocol, which is a huge comfort. They also have a First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call, which helps!
Getting Around: Car Park [on-site] and Taxi Troubles (Maybe?)
Car park [on-site]: The taxi service looked readily available, but I didn't actually use it. I hear it might be a tad… adventurous.
Services and Conveniences: From Cash Withdrawal to Laundry Woes (Mostly Good!)
They had a pretty extensive list of services and conveniences, including concierge, laundry service, dry cleaning, and luggage storage. The cash withdrawal machine came in handy. The convenience store was a life-saver for midnight snack attacks. Invoice provided was a breeze and the ironing service was a win!. Contactless check-in/out was smooth as butter.
Minor Irritations (Because No Place is Perfect!)
Okay, let's get real. Nothing is perfect, even in a "Luxury Escape."
- The Wi-Fi could be a little patchy at times. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
- The signage could be clearer. I got a little lost trying to find the spa the first time. Adventure is good, but not when you’re after a massage.
- While the staff are awesome, the staff didn't seem to know enough about the Happy hour rules.
For the Kids (and the Kid in You!)
I didn't have any kids with me, but the Family/child friendly vibe was definitely there. They had babysitting service which is great for parents.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely! Despite the minor quirks and the occasional culinary curveball, the Luxury Siliguri Escape: Royal Vanilla Collection O Hotel & Banquet is a solid choice. It's clean, comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are plentiful. And the blackout curtains? Pure genius. Plus, it's perfectly positioned to explore Siliguri.

Escape to Paradise: King's Pool Chalet Awaits in Batu Pahat!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your perfectly-polished, brochure-ready itinerary. This is… ME attempting to wrangle a trip to Collection O Hotel Royal Vanilla And Banquet in Siliguri, India. Expect meltdowns, unexpected delights, and the occasional philosophical rumination on the merits of a good cup of chai. Let's go!
The "Almost Lost My Mind, But Hey, Siliguri!" Itinerary
(Pre-Trip Stress & Unrealistic Expectations. My therapist is already bracing herself.)
Week Before Departure: Panic shopping. Do I REALLY need three scarves? Probably not. But what if it rains? What if a rogue monsoon decides to personally target me? Packing is a minefield of overthinking. Currently questioning my entire life. Also, booking the flight. Praying the airline doesn't decide to reroute me through Mongolia. That would be quite the detour.
Days Before Departure: The "Am I forgetting something?" phase. Wallet? Check. Passport? Check. Sanity?… Well, we'll see. Trying to mentally prepare for Indian traffic. My driving skills are… let’s just say, “enthusiastic.” Google Maps is now my best friend (and also, potentially, my worst enemy). Researching acceptable tipping etiquette. Feeling the pressure of needing to seem worldly and not a clueless tourist. (Spoiler alert: I will be a clueless tourist.)
(Siliguri Arrival - Day 1: From Zero to Hero, Then Back to Zero)
- Early Morning (or, as I like to call it, "The Dawn of Despair"): After a flight that felt like a cosmic joke involving cramped leg space and a screaming baby (not mine!), finally – SILIGURI! The airport is…bustling. More people, more noise, more everything than I anticipated. Finding my pre-booked taxi feels like winning the lottery. The driver… well, let's say he navigates with a certain panache. Road rules? Suggestions, perhaps?
- Mid-Morning: Arriving at Collection O Hotel Royal Vanilla And Banquet. The name sounds fancy. I hope the reality delivers! First impressions: The lobby is… fine. Clean-ish. There's a distinct smell of… something (I'm going with "incense and ambition"). The check-in process is slow. I'm pretty sure the desk clerk is actually judging my questionable fashion choices. My room is, honestly, a bit basic. But clean is the most important thing, right? Right?!
- Early Afternoon: The Chai Revelation (and the Lunch Letdown): Ordered room service - veg thali. Oh. My. God. The chai! That chai. It's fragrant, warming, and so delicious it almost brought a tear to my eye. Suddenly, all is right with the world. Then, the food arrives. The thali is… less impressive. The vegetables seem to have an existential crisis. Feeling peckish.
- Late Afternoon : Exploring! (Or, Getting Mildly Lost and Slightly Overwhelmed): Okay, time to venture out. I decide to walk a bit. Siliguri is… a sensory overload. The colors! The sounds! The smells! I stumble upon a small market. I want to buy all the things. But haggling is an Olympic sport, and I'm… not an Olympian. I end up buying a small, brightly colored trinket for an exorbitant price. Regret. But the trinket is pretty. Just trying to absorb everything - the honking horns, the crowds, the energy. Feeling slightly disoriented, and slightly exhilarated. Maybe I am up to this.
- Evening: Dinner Debacles and Early Bedtime: Decide to be brave and eat at a local restaurant. Order something I can't pronounce. It arrives. It's…intriguing. Spicy (very). I alternate between bursts of enjoyment and panicked gulps of water. Eventually, surrender to the spice. Stumble back to the hotel, thoroughly exhausted and slightly delirious. Sleep. Glorious, much-needed sleep.
(Days 2 & 3: The Rollercoaster of Experiences)
- Day 2:
- Morning: Breakfast. Experimenting with the buffet. Some hits, some misses. The bread is amazing. The fruit is… questionable. But hey, I'm alive. Decide to hire a driver for a day trip.
- Day Trip to… (TBD, and probably involves tea plantations and a temple): The driver seems nice. The scenery is breathtaking. Snap pics like a mad tourist. The temple is… crowded. The tea plantations! So. Green. So much green. Buy more tea. Realize I'm running low on rupees. Panic sets in. Find an ATM. Succeed. Relief washes over me
- Afternoon: Lunch somewhere utterly charming (hopefully). More delicious chai. Maybe some momos? Really hoping to find some good momos.
- Evening: Back at the Hotel. Reflecting on the day. Write in my journal. Wondering if I will get sick on this trip. Trying to embrace the chaos.
- Day 3:
- Focus on the Hotel and Surroundings
- Morning: Perhaps a more relaxed breakfast focused on local specialties. Maybe try to learn a few basic Bengali phrases. Failure is likely.
- Late Morning/Afternoon: More exploration. Stroll through a less-touristy area. Embrace the opportunity to interact with locals. Maybe attempt to bargain with a shopkeeper, then laugh at my own ineptitude. Revisit the market and attempt to buy more stuff, knowing it will probably be overpriced.
- Afternoon: Lounging by the "pool" at the hotel (if it exists, and if it's actually swimmable). Or, perhaps just enjoying the air conditioning and the blessed silence of my room.
- Evening: Farewell dinner - back to local restaurant or the hotel. Reflect - what did I learn? What did I see? What did the experience mean?
- Focus on the Hotel and Surroundings
(Departure Day - Day 4: The bittersweet goodbye)
- Morning: Last breakfast in Siliguri. One final cup of chai. Savoring it, knowing I might never have another one quite as good. Realizing the trip actually went by incredibly fast.
- Late Morning: Packing. Trying to squeeze all the souvenirs, all the experiences into my luggage. Wishing I had bought more, experienced more. Realizing I'm already homesick, but also oddly longing to return.
- Afternoon: The long goodbye to the hotel and the city. Flight delayed, naturally. But the feeling is bittersweet. This experience did me good.
- The flight back.
- Reflecting on the journey and my feelings
- Promise to return eventually
Random Ramblings, Observations & Emotional Reactions:
- The Traffic: It's like an organized chaos. It's exhilarating, terrifying, and somehow, it works. People walk right in front of cars. Honking is a language.
- The Chai: An entire section devoted to chai is warranted. Seriously, that stuff is liquid gold.
- The People: The warmth and friendliness of the people are incredible. Even when I'm a stumbling, confused mess, they're patient and helpful. Smile is the universal language.
- The Food: The flavors! The spices! Some of it is unbelievably delicious; others are… an adventure. My gut is starting to revolt.
- The Hotel: It might not be perfect, but it's my sanctuary. A place to recharge, to escape the noise and the chaos. The air conditioning is a gift from the gods.
- Me: I'm not the world traveler I thought I was. I'm a bit of a mess, a bit overwhelmed, and completely captivated by Siliguri. I'm tired but happy.
Imperfections & Honest Truths:
- I will get lost.
- I will overpack.
- I will probably eat something questionable.
- I will take a million photos.
- I will say something embarrassing.
- I will fall in love with Siliguri. Or at least, I'll develop a deep, complicated affection for it.
This is not a vacation. This is an experience. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Bring on the spice, the chaos, and the chai. Here’s to Siliguri. And to surviving it. Wish me luck… I'm going to need it.
