Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with an open bathtub just across the bed, providing great views at 'The Parlour' lounge area, which is cozy with heating. The service is absolutely delightful, making us smile every time, despite some places being closed due to snow. The location, although on Hadimba Road, is difficult to find at night without a proper signboard, but the enchanting mountain views make up for it. The dining experience was amazing, with fresh in-house Hummus served by the pool. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a lovely atmosphere.
The hotel offers luxurious and spacious rooms with a small sitting area, a large four-poster bed, and a sofa. The rooms were very comfortable with heating from the air conditioning unit and provided a nice view, functional fireplace, and huge luxurious bathrooms. The service was exceptionally helpful and friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was just right with stunning views of the valley and mountains, and the dining experience was relaxing and enjoyable. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my overall stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a variety of amenities, each featuring balconies overlooking snow-covered mountains and common areas like a hall with a fireplace, dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen. However, the room had a Tatasky TV for show only and could not be used for viewing. The location is excellent, with attentive service amidst challenging weather conditions. The dining experience was pleasant with an outdoor pool area and indulgent pastries, although the breakfast spread was limited. The facilities are commendable overall.
The hotel is a cozy retreat with well-heated rooms offering stunning views of the snow-covered mountains. The service is exceptional, going above and beyond to make your stay memorable. While the location is a hidden gem near the town, the entrance can be challenging to find at night. The dining experience is a delight with a diverse menu, and the facilities are top-notch.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was a limited breakfast selection. The pool area was well-kept and enjoyable, adding to the overall experience.
