Staying in this hotel was a wonderful experience, thanks to its stunning location by the Bhagirathi river and the majestic mountains around. The service was excellent, with staff who genuinely cared about us. The food was scrumptious, and the yoga shala added a peaceful touch to the stay. However, there were some issues with room allocation upon arrival, and the phone signal could be better. Overall, a great place to unwind.
