Garden Cottage, Dhanolti

hotel is at a great location with a great view. hotel is built on a hill on multiple levels. food is alright but that's where every good thing ends. it has the most shady and dirty rooms. they gave me a wooden room that had stinky carpet, cheap fittings, dirty bathroom, ancient TV, dim lights like some subway. spending the night there was pathetic. no modern facility. dustbin had last guest's garbage. it was so yuck. worse than shady paharganj hotels. clearly they don't clean the room ever. they don't change the sheets too. they just pull it right for the next guest..bed was like a dumped box with a pathetic mattress..the bed n mattress seems like has been given away by someone..even college hostel beds are better than this..pillows were small n slim n pathetic..gave me tea in a cup that had dry tea marks from previous drinker.. totally unclean.. has only 1 person to do everything..he runs up n down the hill..hence room service will take forever..he cleans the bathroom, he brings your food, he cleans the water glass..it was just a very very gross experience.. had it been not for the view, I'd have left it..could spend the night being a solo rider..but it's a total no no for a family..very dirty..very unhygienic..this hotel should cost not more than Rs 400.. next day they changed my room to a newly made room..which was better..with alright bathroom and a nice balcony with a superb view..but this was dirty, gross and unhygienic to the same level..when I picked up the tv remote, it had some dried food remains that last guest had put on it..i used so much sanitizer just to console myself and then for drunk to survive it.. it's a sure no no hotel unless they improve or you get it for Rs.400..no cleanliness, no hygiene, bad tv, bad service, yuck

I came across this hotel through online and hence was but skeptical about booking it.. But seeing the ratings and customer reviews , j went ahead with it... and i am glad to say that my decision was spot on and this place is one of the best stays at dhanaulti...and the care taker and hospitality is the USP of this place.. they are so warm and polite... it felt like a home stay... and my family enjoyed a lot at this place... we booked two wooden cottages and the view across was just out of the world... on request they even preapared local pahadi style dinner for us and that was served just outside our cottage... food quality nd quantity was excellent..will definitely recommend this place ..

excellent hotel...heavenly view.feels like Switzerland of India...Deepak ramola ji..owner of hotel ..an amazing human being who provides support anytime and has helped me throughout my journey and stay..hotel staff are very very much like our own relatives... particularly Deepak,chef ji from Nepal and Manoj ji our return journey. from dhanaulti to mussorie was charged by driver as 3000 whereas normal charge was 1500..power supply was not ok ...hardly TV was working..heater was ok..but power was not adequate and we suffered a bit due to extreme cold weather.

Its in Dhnautli, very beautiful location. good privacy. it has rooms on different stairs. Parking facility is there, rooms are of wood, good food options are available, food prices are also nice. not that expensive. only issues are service. one order takes 1hour. & cleanliness in room, although the hotel staff is very nice including the owners of the hotel. good hotel for all even if u are friends, couple or business groupit's good place for every one
