The staff is really good, helpful, attending and they are cleaning the common spaces daily. The owner is also friendly. The location is amazing, just a few steps distance from the start of the Kora Circuit and the Dalai Lama’s Temple. 🛕 They also offer good breakfast (there is a restaurant on the top floor, with a beautiful mountain view) and free drinking water 🚰 We loved to stay there. We felt comfortable and safe. (Be carful with the monkeys around 🙊 )

- Hot water - High speed WiFi - Cleanliness - Host was always reachable via WhatsApp and very responsive - Closest location possible to Dalai Lama temple and morning walks via Kora circuit were amazing. We were hesitant to book through Booking.com in India - there are a lot of hotels with fake reviews and fake pictures. This one is not the case - looks like the reviews are valid. Will stay again if we are back to Dharamshala.

The room was nice, with a great view from the balcony (I was on the fourth floor), and the bed was quite comfortable. I slept well there. The best part of this hotel, however, is the service -- the owner goes out of his way to make all his guests feel at home, and he supplied me with an electric kettle to use, made sure the process of ordering food was efficient, and even did my laundry for free!

Not much. Sometimes the front door is locked when you come back during the day and you have to ring the bell, but that's not a big deal (and it's probably for safety reasons).

We had a nice time here. Big bed, terrace (careful with the monkeys😅) and peace. Nice staff. We could leave our bags on the day of departure in the room downstairs. Common area on the rooftop is cool.

All fine!

The manager and staff were very helpful, and the breakfast and dinners we had from the hotel kitchen were great. The rooms are a good size, and very clean and comfortable. There was also a lovely view of the mountains from the balcony. The hotel is closeby to the Dalai Lama temple and the Mcleodganj village.

It may be helpful for some guests to know that while the temple and village are just a short distance from the hotel, there is quite a steep hill to climb from the hotel up to them.

This place is amazing! Quiet, clean, comfortable. Staff is lovely. Close enough to walk to everything but far enough that it’s peaceful and quiet. Can’t recommend this place enough.
