    I stayed here several times n had a gteat stay. Budget friendly,located in middle of Macleodganj, conveniently located near main square, Dalai Rama Temple, many restaurant and shops. The owner is so kind. He gave me a lot of information i need and made me feel comfortable. There is a spacious restaurant and cafe on the rooftop, so you can enjoy a meal with a great mountain view without having to go far.

    Some problems with water when I was there, I think there is something to fix for good. But when the problem occur I tell to reception and it works 5mn after so wasn't really a problem. Only the manager speaks English, very hard to communicate with the rest of the staff. They ask prepayment to finalize the booking, which I refused.

    The manager is very nice, he helped me every time I needed something, and gave me advices to visit around. The room and bathroom are good. It's not really cold in March, and you can ask for extra blanket. I was even able to take a shower before my night bus.

    Bathroom not very clean and toilet seat fell off. Reception a.mish mash of staff lounging in chairs but with no clear purpose. Reception furniture piled at one end maybe awaiting refurbishment. Noisy with dogs and traffic but any hotel in town would be the same. Long hard climb for an old man to get into town.also wouldn't be suitable for any less mobile people. I only ever got the hotels WiFi to work whilst stood in the lobby and had to rely on restaurant opposite.

    Room clean and bedding clean and comfortable Very cheap and good value for money. Opposite a very good restaurant the Tibetan Tea House who's WiFi was a boon.

    it was cold at nights and the hotel has no heating system.

    The hotel was very clean & staff was exceptional. The hotel doesn’t have heat but they went out of their way to get us a heater and extra blankets for the nights. This hotel is in a very good location. Close to many restaurants, shops & sights such as Dalai Lama temple, Tushita, St John’s church, etc…

    The location is further from the center than we expected.

    The hotel is simple and peaceful. You get good view of the Himalayas. The owner was very helpful and friendly. I remember seeing a complaint about dogs barking. During our stay the dogs only bark around dawn/early mornings when we were deep in sleep so it was not a problem. Mostly they kept to themselves anyway.

    Horrible hotel
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Double Room

    Everything, starting the reception, ending the room. Reception was not professional, the room was very smelly, bed sheets were dirty and filthy, the room had very negative vibe. At night you can hear all the noises in the street, especially dogs are very loud and non-stop throughout the night. I could not sleep the whole night.

    Nothing to be liked in this hotel, I do not recommend anyone to choose this hotel

    Very nice place in McLeod Ganj. The owner was very nice, he upgraded us for free just because he had rooms. The room was great, spacious and very comfortable. Amenities worked well. We had a nice little view too from the window, but it could be admired better from the rooftop. Their restaurant was closed at this time of the year, the menu looked nice though, good price too.

    Breakfast was not provided. The room size was kind of small in size. In the initial two days the hot water was not coming properly and the flush took time to refill. No proper amenities were provided like soap, hand towel, lotion, heater etc. The staff was kind of rude as well, they too 1 hour for check in. In case you booked online the hotel staff does not deal with it directly, an external vendor deals with you. They charged us Rs 1,400 more than what was showed while booking. Overall, experience was below average.

    The location was close to the main market of Mcleordganj which was convenient for us as we chose walking. In case you have a vehicle or a scooty, I suggest you to take a hotel a bit away from the main market since it would be more peaceful and you can fully enjoy the mountain view and serenity.

    The toilet doesn't work, the sheets are dirty and the staff is unfriendly and doesn't know English. Even if we told the staff about the time of our check out (8 am) we needed to wait together with our taxi driver half an hour until someone was coming. We booked breakfast but everything from the menu is not available except toast with butter. And we needed to pay extra to get tea. (Even if there are multiple teas on the menu, only Milk tea and Butter tea are available.)

    The location is good for tourists because it's in between the temple and the market.

    Hotel was very cold in March , dated and shabby furnishings, poor electrics, no catering or refreshments available -roof top restaurant not in operation. Overall way too expensive for this level of accommodation and we left a day early as much better options available locally

    Staff upgraded room to apartment and the Beds were comfortable and it was spacious.

    They struggled to find a room with single beds for us even though that's what we'd booked. They put us in a place that seemed to be just outside of the hotel, which was mostly fine but quite noisy from the street. The door then had a problem which locked us out of our room, and it took the staff more than 20 minutes to open it.

    Good location, quite central to McCleodGanj.
