This place is set on the mountain plains, and the morning views are absolutely stunning – waking up to mist and fog rolling over the hills, and walking along the road with those scenic vistas, was a real treat. If you're after peaceful mountain vibes, the location delivers.
Cleanliness is good, and the staff are friendly and polite throughout. The breakfast spread was decent too – nothing fancy, but tasty enough to start the day right. It's also convenient that downtown is just 2–3 km away, where you'll find plenty of restaurants with good food options.
The room comes with tea bags and a kettle, plus hot water for showers – all basic but functional. I visited in August, and the cold was manageable with the thick blanket they provided, so I slept fine without a heater. They don't have AC, which is understandable given the mountain climate, though in winter you'll need to pay an extra 2,000 rs per night for a heater – something to keep in mind if you're visiting during colder months.
The bed was average – linens and towels were clean, but I could feel the springs a bit, which affected my sleep slightly. Also, from the windows, you don't get a mountain or lake view – maybe one or two rooms might have one, but I wouldn't count on it. The real charm is outside when you step out in the early morning.
Price-wise, I booked at 315, and with taxes it came to 410. For me personally, that felt a bit high considering the room itself is quite basic. I think the premium is mainly for the location and that incredible morning fog and mist experience. If you're someone who really values waking up to that atmosphere, it might still be worth it for you.
Overall, it's a decent place with lovely views and friendly staff – just manage your expectations on the room and be prepared for the price. Would I stay again? Maybe not at this rate, but I can see why others might enjoy it.
