Sub par hotel, not worth the higher price
Pros:

Great location in Mcleodganj but expensive by India standards with many better options around and far friendlier owners around many properties in the area. I stayed a week beyond my online stay because of volunteering work near the Dalai Lama temple. The staff working were unwilling to bargain on the price of the room, never cleaned the room after multiple requests during my stay for simple things like a new sheet or something of the sort.

Pros:

The property is perfectly located near the McLeod Gang monastery and a short walk to all the outdoor shops. The views from the rooms are stellar, and the staff is so courteous and professional. Sonya, the concierge manager is really fantastic and makes you feel like a special guest at this truly beautiful hotel. Highly recommended!

worst possible experience with Hotels.com
Pros:

Absolutely terrible place to book your stay. the pics added by hotels.com is NOT what you get in reality. On top of it hotels.com was not helpful at all in helping to resolve the matter . this is the last time i will be using their services. they have overcharged me for the room as well as we enquired with the hotel when we reached there and the room was available much cheaper than what we got from hotels.com. and they advertise it as the best deals available which is literally fraud !

Greatly situated and clean room
Pros:

The hotel is situated centrally to the market and restaurants by short uphill walk of 10 minutes. The room booked was not with a view but the team moved us for the second and third nights with an adjusted rate. Staff is very friendly and the view from room with a balcony is superb. Will return.

Pros:

Pros: Staff behaviour is good.
Cons: 1) Delayed restaurant service.
2) Buffet breakfast was mentioned in itinerary. But buffet not provided. Asked us to order as per choice and every single ordering was taking at least 30 minutes to serve. Eventually, lost the interest.
3) Expedia MUST look into providing online options to guests when it was properly mentioned that we are 4. We were being offered a double bedded room with no balcony and windows with wall view. I had no choice but to ask for a change in room options. Hotel had claimed for Rs.3000 extra for two days which I have paid as was having none other alternatives. Could not understand why Expedia is offering the double bedded room option when it is clearly written that we are 4.
4) Expedia May kindly emphasis on professionalism.

Thanks
