Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers fairly large and very comfortable rooms with plush interiors, though there were issues with misguiding guests booking in advance. The service was very helpful and ensured a comfortable stay; however, there were some inconsistencies in room allocation. The location provides a nice view of the mountains and is away from the hustle and bustle, with enjoyable indoor games available. The dining experience offered yummy South/North Indian dishes, although it lacked variety in some aspects. Overall, a property with potential but some room for improvement.
I stayed at this hotel in Kufri for one night, and it was a mixed experience. The service was impeccable, with incredibly courteous staff offering extended hospitality, but the in-room dining and restaurant service fell short with careless and irresponsible staff. The location of the hotel was perfect, offering serene surroundings and easy access to adventure sports. However, the dining experience felt chaotic like a fish market at 9 AM. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel offers fairly large and very comfortable rooms with stylish interiors, although some booking issues were reported. The service staff was extremely helpful in challenging conditions. The location is ideal for both relaxation and outdoor activities. The dining experience received mixed feedback. Overall, the facilities were excellent.
The rooms were spacious enough for 3 adults to be comfortable, with modern fittings in the bathroom. The housekeeping staff was efficient in keeping the rooms neat and clean daily, although the small kitchenettes lacked modern amenities compared to other resorts.
The hotel is set amidst natural surroundings with snow-clad mountains visible, offering a serene ambiance. However, the rooms are small, stinky, and not well-maintained, lacking space for luggage.
