It was nice staying in a place done up in the English country cottage style however the food didn't match up to expectations. It was a little too "Bengali / Indian" to go with the overall experience of the place especially the breakfast! Loved the little chargeable hot water bags though!

Hi I stayed here for five days with my wife during our Honeymoon. We will never regret for choosing this. It was calm,quiet,homely and romantic. We loved the rooms and arrangements, ambient, the staffs, and the food. We were a little surprised since there was neither AC nor fan, but later we realized those are not required. Some of the...

We visited Shillong last week November, and in-spite having very close relatives here we opted to stay at Aerodene ( since had read a lot about on Trip Advisor itself). The accommodation is cozy and comfortable, gives a very warm feeling. We had taken a room with small lawn/balcony attached and is worth every penny you pay. The place is... More

We stayed in Aerodene Cottage four nights in December 2012. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Shillong. The rooms are cosy with all the facilities one needs and the little electric kettle for the cold winter mornings and nights were really helpful. The place is clean and the food is quite good,...

All right, I confess: I consider myself half Khasi. I was first in the Khasi Hills a third of a century ago, I'm still in love with a wonderfulk Khasi lady who died a year and a half ago, and I'd promised my wife a visit to the hills if we got to India. We got to India. And another... More

Many times we see pictures of hotels on internet that doesn't match at all with the real hotel. Aerodene Cottage is just what you see in the photos. Several good reviews are written here and all are true. We stayed here for 3 nights during durga puja and eid-ul-azha, and it was an amazing experience. Good points: 1. Extra ordinary... More

This cottage takes you right back to an Enid Blyton novel-like atmosphere.. Wooden flooring, clean toilets, cosy beds and an impeccably styled fireplace at the dining room gives you a totally different experience than most other hotels. Located at Dhanketi Shillong, away from the bustle of the city traffic you must choose this hotel if you want to spend a... More
