Charming hotel, amazing view, far from the hustle bustle

Room - Very well made room, beautiful and comfortable interiors, comfy bed. The balcony had a view to kill.. (All rooms have the same view, overlooking the valley between Indrunag and Mcleodganj) The exteriors and interiors of the Hotel are well made, and seem very new. Location - At Indrunag, right next to the paragliding point, it is a beautiful location. A bit far off from central Dharamshala. And the drive is a bit scary for regular drivers (especially if you follow Google maps, and not go via central Dharamshala chowk near bus stand to avoid traffic!!). It’s always a good choice to park your car at the hotel and use cabs for your day tours. That said, the location is very beautiful. Food - Good food, decent breakfast spread. The restaurant has an indoor as well as outdoor seating. The Tibetan and north Indian cuisines were good. Staff - Some of the staff seemed a bit new and being trained. The room service and housekeeping had some issues in terms of delays. The reception had very helpful people, but seemed short on staff. Value for money - The hotel isn’t cheap, however, I can say it offered an overall good value. I’d definitely book again!

Very bad experience at The Posh Hotel in Mcleod Ganj

Reviewed By Sivashankar G

We stayed here for a night and right from the beginning the experience was bad. The room provided was very bad and hence requested for a room change and there was a lot of argument by the staff and finally they decided to give when we were super frustrated. Once we moved to different room, following issues were noticed: 1. Room was not clean - bathroom has soap spilt all over the place 2. Water stagnates in the bathroom 3. None of the doors including bathroom door closes properly 4. You can touch the chairs and feel the heavy dust settled on them 5. Shower knob just comes off in the bathroom 6. Towels kept were dirty 7. Power boards just comes away when trying to connect 8. Front office staff were very rude Overall for the kind of exorbitant rates that this hotel charges, this hotel is terrible and we had a very bad experience. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone definitely.

Prakriti Alaya Dharamshala - Truly stands for it’s name

Reviewed By swati20180506

My husband and I visited Prakrit Alaya recently and it became a “one of a kind” stay for us. A stay which we will cherish forever. Prakrit Alaya in Dharmsala is tucked in the valley right near a river stream which is the USP of this property. The sound of river flowing throughout the night ensures a sound sleep and a couple of singing birds will leave you amused as you wake up. While it’s pretty close to the main road, this property promises quietness. Such quietness can be only experienced and not expressed. Everything about this place is positive - the ambience, the location, the quietness, the forest behind the property, the river flowing, birds chirping and not to forget, the STAFF who offer genuine service. You will be greeted by the ever smiling staff at all times. The rooms are spacious and we fell in love with the choice of furniture. Right from the booking process till the end of the stay everything was smooth. We met the owner of the property, Mr. Kishore Thakur, who was welcoming and made it a point to interact with all the guests to make them comfortable. We couldn’t stop ourselves from booking one more night on our way out of Dharmsala. “Not to miss property”.

It is a zero star hotel in my experience. Totally unprofessional, cheat and I booked two superior rooms for family visit on 10 may 2022. Deposited 13500 rupees vial net booking as per their demand. As soon as I reached to hotel their behavior was awkward they insisted me to deposit remaining money of approximately 30000. No warm welcome. When I saw their rooms it was smelly, dirty with dust all over. There was no ventilation in rooms. I requested to adjust my money for 1 day stay they refused and said to deposit total money for 5 days. They are totally unprofessional also.very very bad experiences with this hotel.

A little Gem of a place in Mcleodganj

Reviewed By surinder p

D’s casa is a middle tier hotel situated at prime location of clubhouse road in the middle of Mcleodganj. It is walking distance to Main Street and Dalai Lama temple. Rooms are mountain cabin style with plenty of wood interior. As the property is fitted with lift, it was convenient for senior citizens with accessibility issues. Despite being slightly jaded, it’s the exemplary service and excellent staff that stands this place apart. Be it Gautam at the front office or Manjit, Rakesh and chef in the kitchen, they went out of their way to satisfy our requests. The breakfast spread is limited and mainly Indian cuisine but it’s fresh and delicious. The room service is efficient. The hotel provides laundry service at very reasonable prices. The rooftop has incredible views but needs climbing the stairs.
