Dharamasala is Special for us.
Our stay was amazing as was the location. Sanjeev our host made every effort to look after us and went out his way to accomodate us. We felt special and spoilt meeting lots of his friends as he showed us around several sites you would never encounter as a tourist on your own.

Grimy, inefficient, downright awful
Booked this hotel for 2 nights. As it was peak season, we had little options for hotels at McCleod Ganj. Despite booking through Expedia, the management sent a private email asking for my credit card details. Check in was indifferent. The hotel is a 20 minute walk through an unlit dusty, corrugated road. The floors of the hotel were built on an incline. No elevators. The rooms were not made up, there was no bottled water replaced and towels were not changed. At checkout, we had to wake the staff up. After confirming that I was paying through Expedia, I received a call on the way to Amritsar asking to pay for my stay, which I managed to do by sending the amount with our cab driver. Never again!

I can hardly call this house a guest house.
I paid for 3 nights, when I got there I immediately started to search for another hotel. I found the Surya hotel at the same price much much better (at McLeod) - by the way excellent hotel) The paradise is not hotel, it is in the middle of no where, noisy renovations turned the neighborhood into industriel zone. Lousy facilities.

Service could have been better.
We had booked 7 rooms for 1 night under room only plan. We had been to Chandigarh & Manali before reaching Dharamsala. Thereafter we were to head towards Dalhousie. The rooms of this hotel were the smallest compared to the other places that we stayed. Service was slow. Even drinking water was not provided in the rooms. Food was ok. The restaurant was not big enough to accommodate our entire group & we had to wait till the previous group was through with their supper. Service was far from desirable. Tea maker was there in the rooms but without the cups & spoon. Staff was very much rationing the tea / milk sachets & towels. While the view of the valley is the best from this hotel, reaching the place is like going on a never ending journey. If you are service oriented (especially in hospitality sector) then money will follow as a byproduct & word of mouth publicity will be good & effective.

The hotel was nice , the view from the balcony was really awesome the staff was really helpful. A couple of things were a bit of a concern , the room locks and latches were not the best quality and my room could even open by the neighbors keys. Rest everything was very pleasant ..

Ghandis Paradise-NOT
No where close to McLeodganj. A long uphill walk back to the hotel on a dark, dangerous road. Very cold with no heat in the restaurant or exterior hallway. We paid a premium price for a room way down on the bottom level next to a construction site with access by an extremely steep stairway with no railing (5 flights to our room). When we asked to move to a room that required less climbing of stairs, (we are 60 and 62 years old) Mr. Ghandi requested more money. One of us got food poisoning and threw up all night after eating veg biriani from the hotel kitchen. A self described luxury hotel, this place provided no house keeping, clean towels, or clothes line for a weeks stay. The small electric heater barely kept us warm. When we wanted to check out Mr Ghandi insisted that we pay cash, luckily we checked our email and saw that Hotels.com had already charged us!!!! There are many nicer places to stay in McLoedganj that costs much less and are located within the town.

Skip the RUSH
The stay at the hotel was very much satisfying. The way hotel is built is very unique as it descends from top to bottom while reception being at the top floor. The view out of balcony of the mystic bhagsunath was an added cherry on cake. We all as a family just loved it.

Impossible de rester...
Je n'ai pas dormi dans cet établissement qui est en travaux... C'est impossible de rester dans ce lieu et j'ai d'ailleurs demandé l'annulation de ma réservation. Cet hôtel est situé à l'extérieur de la ville ce qui peut être un avantage si on recherche le calme mais il est très difficile d'accès et loin de tout. Les travaux vont durer longtemps car il s'agit d'un agrandissement par le dessus. Il y a énormément de bruit, de poussière et de nuisances pour l'instant. Vérifier bien que tout soit rentrer dans l'ordre avant de vous aventurer là bas, je trouve vraiment inadmissible que cet hôtel soit ouvert actuellement. A bon entendeur...

詐欺師のホテル
遠すぎる。急な坂道を延々登る。山登り好き以外不向き。 水回りが恐ろしく不衛生。常に床がビショビショで、自分で掃除しろとでもいうのか、大きなモップが備え付けられていた。トイレットペーパーは3つとも泥だらけだし、替えをお願いしたら、投げてよこす始末。 工事中で騒音が酷く、インド人オーナーやインド人上級従業員が、目下らしき従業員や工事スタッフに威張り散らしているのが露骨過ぎて、見ていられない程不愉快。 極め付けは、頼んでもいないのに、帰りの空港へ従業員の車で送るとオーナーが突然言い出し、1200ルピー払わないと出さないと半ば脅しに近い言いよう。行きの料金や相場を知っていることを告げ、しばらく口論の末 ようやく相場でおさめましたが、酷いにも程がある。 町中にもっと清潔で安い宿はたくさんあります。こんなところは、紹介すら取りやめにすべき。とにかく酷いところでした。

景色はすばらしい
部屋からの眺望はすばらしいです。ホテルのスタッフもフレンドリーで、ルームサービスも迅速でした。部屋は手頃な広さで、ちょうどよいですね。 問題点としては、室温が１０度までさがるが暖房がないこと。最初心配しましたが、寝るのには支障がありません。湯たんぽの効果は絶大。 タクシーの運転手が場所がわからなくて困りました。必ず地図を印刷してもっておいたほうがよいと思います。 ホテルの名前が大仰な感じがしましたが、オーナーの弁では、ほんとうにマハトマガンジーの親戚らしいです。

A perfect choice to see McLeod Ganj and Dharamkot
This is a perfect choice if you're planning to visit Dharamkot, since Gandhi's Paradise is located in a peaceful area on the way to this place. It's about 15-20 minutes walking from McLeod Ganj's main square and market, and I would say about 25-30 minutes from Dalai Lama's palace, but during the night or in the evenings it is much more convenient to take a taxi from McLeod Ganj (fixed rate - 100 Rs). The room is very clean and light with a stunning view of Himalayan mountains from the window. The wi-fi signal works perfectly - but only outside. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone who seeks a perfect and silent place to see both Dharamkot's mountain peaks and McLeod Ganj.

Mixed
Our experience at this hotel was quite mixed. The morning view from the terrace is second to none. The location is secluded but easily accessible with a 10min walk up and down the mountain through the forrest to Baksou, and a 10min drive down to Cloud McGanj. The hotel has a restaurant that sure knows what they're doing. No wifi in the rooms, and problems with the wifi in the reception. The hotel management are very nice but a bit "too much". The rooms are extremely cold, especially with the marble floor. There is absolutely no isolation between the room and the two wooden doors out to respective balcony. It's as if the building ia built for tropic conditions but hasn't taken into account the fact that it's located at the feet of the Himalayas. Heated water takes 30min to warm up, and only lasts for 5min.

山の絶景とホスピタリティ溢れる得難いホテル
街中の便利さを期待する方には不向きであるが、バスターミナルからTIPA方面にトゥクトゥクなら5〜10分程で、私は朝晩の散歩に丁度よいと感じる程度。宿に頼めばすぐにタクシーも手配出来る。 この宿の魅力は自然を堪能出来る事と経営者のホスピタリティである。角部屋であったが、スイート並みの広さと大きな窓ガラスから見える山々や滝の流れが素晴らしく、山ならではの霧の幻想的な風景などみていて飽きない。屋上の素晴らしい景色と空気の美味しいこと。夜には音楽を流し、屋上でもパーティ可能で寂しい感じはない。 主人は誠にフレンドリーで、[自分の家のように振舞って下さい]と仰るとおり、頼んだことには真摯に取り組んでくれた。顔を覚えてくれていただけでなく、どこで何を食べたりしても、一々サインするのではなく、ちゃんと部屋付けにしてくれて便利であった。会計担当の方の真面目な対応と経営者の暖かいホスピタリティに感動した。毎年ダラムサラに行きいろいろなホテルにとまるが、ここはお勧め出来ます。
