Highly Recommended
Pros:

I spent a weekend at the Belvedere during a business trip. The hotel is slightly removed from the bustle of McLeod Ganj, yet still very close to the town centre and to the Dalai Lama Temple complex.

All of the common areas are very pleasant, and the rooms are equipped with everything needed for an excellent stay. The overall standard is high. The bathroom in particular was very well appointed, with both a whirlpool bathtub and a separate shower with excellent water pressure, which is not always the case when travelling.

The restaurant is also very enjoyable, with a wide choice of dishes on the menu, and the service is both efficient and friendly.

A special mention must go to the magnificent mountain views from the room.

The housekeeping team was particularly attentive and responded to every request very quickly and efficiently. There is a genuine sense that the staff are committed to making guests feel comfortable and well looked after.

The hotel is also continuing to invest in improvements and ongoing works, with the aim of offering an even more complete guest experience in the future.

Overall, this is an excellent hotel in which to rest, recharge and explore everything McLeod Ganj has to offer.

I would definitely stay again as staff were amazing food was delicious and entertainment great 😊
Pros:

Location near markets ✅
Great food mutton ✅
Amazing Entertainment✅
Helpful Staff ✅

Cons:

I know this property is expanding to have a pool which I really missed.
Management need to change payment tap for international cards NOT JUST LOCAL BANKS 🙏
This created quite a dilemma on departure 6 am today
I also offered to pay last night and reception said it’s not a problem paying in the morning early
Next time I will stand firm and pay night before when I have early departure and plane to catch.
Driver was on time but had to wait 45 mins for a payment method to be acceptable.
I was so distressed crying and worried my flight would not meet luggage drop off time
I initially arranged driver way earlier than needed so I could be at airport super early but this plan turned bad

Overall good stay with great view from room, access to hotel is bit difficult
Pros:

The view from the room is good. Breakfast and dinner is ok, the taste can definitely improve.

Cons:

Initially we were given a room in the grould floor and not cleaneed, so had to ask for a change. Basic items like towels etc need to be asked. The location is bit odd, requires 400-600 meters walk uphill

Pros:

Personel fantastyczny. Niezwykle miły i pomocny.
Widoki z tarasu przepiękne.
Pokoje bardzo komfortowe.
Jeden minus, w wannie nie działał hydromasaż, za tak wysoką cenę za pokój, tak nie powinno być.

Very comfortable and very good location
Pros:

Breakfast was sumptuous.Many varieties and tasty.


The room with the balcony was very comfortable with a beautiful view

Cons:

One room had an additional small room which was not being used.

That room had no window..


A window would have made the room more comfortable
