This hotel is at a walking distance from Dalai lama temple, but the approach to this is a narrow lane which can only be accessed by small cars (like Maruti 800), even Alto has little difficulty to access, so plan accordingly. Also the walk is a steep climb of about 250m from temple entrance. So inform the hotel staff and they will pick up from the temple entrance. We were on a fun trip across Michal and did not mind this climb. What is best of this hotel is its view. It is a breathtaking view of Dharamshala on one side, with Dalai lama residence on other and Dhauladhar on other side. This view is common for most of the rooms on a clear day is amazing (unfortunately for us, first day was rainy and second day at late evening the sky got clear and we enjoyed the view). Hotel allowed us early check-in at morning time and also provided us complimentary tea. Restaurant food is good and we had dinner on one of the night. It was good in quantity and sufficient for three. The WiFi in the hotel is poor and difficult to access at many times as the rooms are below ground level, hopefully it can be improved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Considering the location and climb, if it suits you, it is a good place to be put up being its vicinity to temple and center area.
