"Beautiful location looking out at the mountains from the terrace. Friendly staff was very helpful with suggestions and service. Breakfast was amazing with eggs, sausages, pancakes, toast, and fresh fruit!"
"Amazing location for a hotel. The view from the veranda of the Himalayas was great at sunrise. The room was nice and the guys at the hotel were really friendly. They were able to tell you which of the mountains you could see, including Everest. Nice selection for breakfast and the dinner menu was really good too. Also only a couple of minutes walk from the Sunset viewing point and not far to drive to the lookout tower."
KKrishmon DangolHotel Country Villa was a great stay with some disappointments.
The location is perfect with a great view from all around the hotel.
The service and staff were great all around with some exceptions.
I booked 3 rooms for a total of 5 people with non non-refundable plan but due to a decrease in the number of people from 5 to 4, the hotel agreed to cancel 1 room for free for us. Although the process took some time and some pushing from Trip.com agent I am grateful for the free cancellation.
One of the rooms I booked, the Junior Suite was for my partner and me for a short honeymoon kind of stay. The room was well designed and had great views but the in-room Jacuzzi needs maintenance.
The outdoor pool and Jacuzzi were also great and the pool staff let us use them more than the closing time.
The disappointing part of the stay was during breakfast. The buffet was amazing but the glass I used for juice had lipstick stains which I noticed after drinking from it. I am a male who doesn't use lipstick so it was clearly not mine. When I complained to a staff member who seemed to be a supervisor of some sort, instead of an apology, he laughed and asked us ”Are you sure that it's not yours?” After that, he took the glass away and brought a new glass of juice but the juice was different from the one I was drinking.
We were completely shocked by this as it was not a rookie staff that did this but rather a supervisor.
Overall, we are satisfied with the whole stay but the lipstick on the glass has left a bad aftertaste.
CChezzaThis hostel is really unique. I loved feeling like I was staying in the bush as I looked out at the trees through my window in the morning. It was pretty cold and there's no heating in the room, so I struggled to get out of bed, but the bedding kept me warm enough throughout the night. Unfortunately, they didn't have a kettle in the room to help keep me warm with a little hot water, but they did give me a thermos of hot water from the restaurant when I asked about it. The shower also never remained warm for long.
These shortcomings were made up for by the unique environment and the wonderful views up at the restaurant/communal area. On the last day, I could see the Himalayas clearly from there. It was beautiful. There is also a great variety of reasonably priced food at the restaurant.
The hotel is also about 10 minutes walk from the centre of town and 10 minutes walk in the other direction is a great place to view the sunrise. The staff were happy to help out and give directions when I asked. Of course, it would have been even nicer if they had offered some of that information on my arrival rather than waiting for me to ask.
Overall, a great place to stay!
