Excellent hospitality. Ideal for family stay. Only dislike was location as it was bit off the road - we had senior citizens with us so walking uphill was bit difficult. ##### Prashant Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Aastha 7 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wrong location given on map, it literally take you to a wall on top of a hill, however the property is 3-4kms far from the location on map that too with narrow roads. Property condition is also too bad, rooms are dirty with damp walls, broken floor and broken beds. It's worse than a 1 star property. ##### Aastha Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Himalayan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manali-Hotels-The-Himalayan.h9049244.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Mongas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalhousie-Hotels-Hotel-Mongas.h5683728.Hotel-Information) > - [The Leela Palace Udaipur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-Hotels-The-Leela-Palace-Udaipur.h3021032.Hotel-Information) > - [Regenta Resort Exotica Dharamshala on Hilltop](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dharamshala-Hotels-The-Exotica.h12714493.Hotel-Information) > - [Noormahal Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karnal-Hotels-Hotel-Noormahal.h27081617.Hotel-Information) > - [Kumbh Mela Camps Prayagraj](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prayagraj-Hotels-Kumbh-Camps-Prayagraj.h111802823.Hotel-Information) > - [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > - [The Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paonta-Sahib-Hotels-The-Brighton-Hotel.h105843646.Hotel-Information) > - [Kasauli Hills Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kasauli-Hotels-Kasauli-Hills-Resort.h35634162.Hotel-Information) > - [Clarkes hotel, A grand heritage hotel since 1898](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shimla-Hotels-Clarkes-Hotel.h4962.Hotel-Information) > - [Elgin Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalhousie-Hotels-Elgin-Hall.h48999264.Hotel-Information) > - [Span Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manali-Hotels-Span-Resort-And-Spa.h5506761.Hotel-Information) > - [Club Mahindra Kandaghat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandaghat-Hotels-Club-Mahindra-Kandaghat.h8328001.Hotel-Information) > - [The St. Regis Goa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Goa-Resort.h438378.Hotel-Information) > - [Treebo Ortus Residency](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dharamshala-Hotels-Treebo-Trend-Ortus-Residency.h67561089.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabbana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jalandhar-Hotels-The-Cabbana-Resort-Spa.h2561042.Hotel-Information) > - [Secret Staycation Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandaghat-Hotels-Secret-Staycation-Cottage.h102625991.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Mysore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mysore-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Plaza-Hotel-Mysore.h9398400.Hotel-Information) > - [Lemon Tree Hotel, Port Blair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Blair-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Hotel.h21557004.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Lakend](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Hotel-Lakend.h12819267.Hotel-Information) > - [Neemrana Fort-Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alwar-Hotels-Neemrana-Fort-Palace.h16224166.Hotel-Information) > - [Baragarh Resort & Spa, Manali- IHCL SeleQtions](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manali-Hotels-Baragarh-Resort-And-Spa.h22253976.Hotel-Information) > - [Jungle Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Solan-Hotels-Jungle-Lodge-Resort.h20614299.Hotel-Information) > - [Rajmahal Palace RAAS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaipur-District-Hotels-Rajmahal-Palace.h11298873.Hotel-Information) > - [Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kasauli-Hotels-Moksha-Himalaya-Spa-Resort.h2796246.Hotel-Information) > - [Ananda in the Himalayas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haridwar-Hotels-Ananda-In-The-Himalayas.h871444.Hotel-Information) > - [The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agra-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Amarvilas.h551355.Hotel-Information) > - [Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shimla-Hotels-Wildflower-Hall.h902273.Hotel-Information) > - [Justa Birding, Dharamshala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dharamshala-Hotels-JuTSa-Birding-Dharmshala.h66043351.Hotel-Information) ---
