Actually the hotel is good. The staff is pretty good as well. But we didnt rewlly had a very good experience. We did a pretty late check in at around 7am in the morning and we didnt find our beds ready. (Even after making it clear on the previous day to them). plus the room we got was just beside the reception and there was continuous penetration of sound . Couldnt really get any sleep.

no electricity! God no response from the stuff.. we were expecting a good place to stay but it was a horrible stay. wish next time when I visit electricity is there. no wifi nothing. what they have mentioned nothing is available. horrible stay. a lazy guy he didn't even help us during our check out. we had a very hard time. initially he gave a room in which we had to share a room with a guy who was rigorously smoking inside the room, it was suffocating. don't choose this one.

Rooms were very clean. Staff was supportive and hospitable. Location is walking distance to Bhagsu temple & waterfall. We were refunded the money for breakfast which was included in our package, for some reason, so we couldn't try the food there. But we found it bit overpriced for the amenities which is basic and minimum.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we charged as per available amenities. hoping 1200/- bucks including taxes for 2 guest ...more

  • Shah Husain
    5/5

    This is probably the best hostel you can ever stay in. The owner Mr. Sumit Guleria is exceptional in terms of hospitality. A clean environment and a 1 minute walk to German bakery and Cafe's. This is a perfect place to meet like-minded travellers and not to live in a hotel but to live in your own home.

  • Katie Hogan
    5/5

    Ideal budget accommodation away from the bustle. Such beautiful views, clean and comfortable dorms, hot showers and friendly and helpful staff. Julie the dog was our favourite part. All the other dorm beds were free so we were given the entire room, even a lock for our door.
