"Pros: I can’t speak highly enough of this hotel. Located in the hills above Dharamshala, the hotel is a little tricky to get to but was no problem at all for their excellent recommended taxi driver Karan of Akki Taxi Service. He was excellent throughout and you can be very confident that he will look after you well. We were greeted by one of the staff (I never caught his name but again he was excellent throughout) with chilled mineral water and assistance with our luggage. Check in was with host/owner Govind who introduced us to all facilities. You will see from other reviews that Govind can never do enough for you and this is not exaggerated. He was superb. The room was quite basic but very comfortable and provided everything I needed. The bed is large and comfortable and linens were in great condition: crisp and clean. The bathroom was a large wet room and the only inconvenience was you had to put the hot water heater on 20 minutes before showering which wasn’t a problem as long as you remembered! As well as your room you had access to a common, large balcony area for eating, relaxing and enjoying the view. There we met other residents, mostly long term, who were also very friendly and helpful. When we arrived we weren’t sure what meals we’d take at the hotel beyond breakfast. However having had dinner there the first night we never went anywhere else! We didn’t ask for a menu (there is one and it’s extensive but I didn’t look until just prior to leaving), just went with whatever Indian food was recommended. It was uniformly delicious. We ate in the common area which was perfect for our needs. Breakfast we took the English breakfast option with some interesting Indian additions and again very good. Sausages weren’t exactly as per English tastes but I haven’t had better in India. Bacon and eggs spot on. We wanted beers and even though there wasn’t a bar we had them in about an hour, and these remained available throughout our stay. Cons: At 1700-1800m, the lack of a heating system (other than an electric fan heater) may be a problem for some. Do check on the weather or wait until the Spring if you are sensitive to the cold." ~Brendan
