The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj by Leisure Hotels

The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj by Leisure Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"A unique gem, hidden away in McLeod Ganj. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Rooms feature world class facilities. Breakfast buffet is excellent and includes expresso drinks. A nice bar with a view. Rooms facing the valley have a nice view, They also have a full spa and gym onsite. Its also very close to the center of the area and is accessed by narrow city streets. Reception is great at arranging taxis to take you to local destinations. If you are coming in a larger vehicle, we were in 11 seater Urbania, driver need guidance how to get down to the hotel, Most sedans, SUVs and Minivans will have no problem getting in and out."
