The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj, by Leisure Hotels

Excellent hotel close to markets, monastery, restaurants. My only complain was there was no bar but I have been assured it is coming as it is a fairly new hotel. Food and service in the restaurant is excellent. Yoshi and Tsering in reception were excellent. A very good hidden gem.

Many people talk about the facilities, which of course were fantastic but the key to this hotel was the staff. The views of the mountains was breathtaking. The rooms clean, spacious and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and full of variety. The rooms, the breakfast, the reception all made this experience easy and enjoyable because of the service. Would definitely recommend and revisit in the future.

Great hospitality provided by an excellent professional staff. Great food at the in-house restaurant. Special accolades to the Chef & his staff as they go an extra mile to accommodate special food requests.

A beautiful hotel with a spectacular view of the mountains. The service was absolutely fantastic! The manager is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and hospitable. She went out of her way to ensure that our stay was absolutely perfect. This was the very best place we’ve stayed on our trip to India.

We stayed at Belvedere Himalayan retreat for 4 days. It was excellent! Very friendly staff and excellent service. This place is located close to the bustling Mall Road and therefore you can simply walk down and explore all the shops nearby. One quite small but significant aspect which made a huge difference to our stay - they had drinking water bottles placed in the common area on each floor for guests!! I mean I have stayed in many hotels but have not seen this service. Instead of calling room service and waiting for them to deliver water bottles, you can simply goto the common area and take water bottles for your use . This really won me over as I always buy water bottles and lug them to my room when I stay in hotels. Another sensible thing was their breakfast. They had a comprehensive menu and you just had to order whatever you want. So instead of having a buffet with 50 items where most of the guests over eat and waste quite a bit, they make you order whatever you want and deliver it fresh. So we ordered idli, dosa and omelette from the menu and the service was quite fast. Maybe price is slightly on the higher side but then many hotels in this area are like this so I won’t make a big deal of this. Excellent location, superior service and I would come back again

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of McLeod Ganj’s bustling market, yet it manages to stay peaceful and insulated from the noise. The views from the property are absolutely stunning—arguably even better than those from Radisson Blu! The staff is exceptional—friendly, polite, and always ready to assist with a smile. The food was delicious and added to the overall great experience. For the quality of service, location, and breathtaking views, this place offers fantastic value for money. Highly recommended for anyone visiting McLeod Ganj! Beware of monkeys as they come in balcony looking for food and can enter the rooms too if doors left open!
