I really appreciated this restaurant and bar services food is absolutely delicious rooms are also very beautiful the way of talking of the employees is very kind thnks for the service and kindness

The hotel is in a prime location. The rooms are decent, and there's a gym as well. Plenty of parking space is available. Good variety of both veg and non-veg food options. Overall, a good place to stay.

Ajeeb he cartoon hire kiye hue hai. Staff thinks that they are doing gratitude on us by doing their job. You will order anything and you will get something. Waste of money only. Food quality is good but what is the use when you will not get what you ordered. And person took your ordered is behaving like he is showing favour on us to do his job to take our money and give food to us. Good for them it is smaller town, and their attitude is nowhere near to running business it is just name of a restaurant. Regretted for ordering there as my precious time got wasted. Planned for some good evening and they completely ruined it.

This hotel is situated on the main road,in the market area so that's a plus for some and minus for some because it's easily accessible but at the same time noisy for the guests living in the rooms overlooking the market. The executive rooms are really big with all basic amenities. The Room Decor and The bathroom is also very basic with no glass partition etc. The room service is a bit slow .the food quality is good.Avoid non veg dishes.. There is a restaurant and bar on the ground floor.The staff is cordial and helpful.Ample parking space and a huge lawn just at the entrance is a plus. The food is a bit over priced considering the area and quality of food.All in all a good,clean and spacious hotel for families and for business travellers .

It's awesome hotel besides the bus station kangra. The owner is very gentle man. I recommend this hotel 🏨. Thanks grand raj.
