Guest as saying

The sheets and towels were stained, the pillows were revolting, the shower did not have a door, the flush barely worked and I paid around 3k for this below average place. They refused to change rooms too. Beyond disappointed with this place, makes me wonder about all the good ratings that they have.

We had a very good stay at DLS Shiva Sanctuary, McLeodganj. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and pleasant.The food was good, but for a 4-star hotel, we expected to see more variety in the menu. Adding more food options would make the dining experience even better.A special thanks to Abhishek Rajput for his excellent hospitality and friendly nature. He was very helpful and suggested some wonderful places to visit around McLeodganj, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate his guidance and support.Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in McLeodganj.

Stayed for 4 nights and here’s my honest review:’ Not recommended for long stays as they have same breakfast menu for all days.’ Staff was naturally and culturally good and well behaved but they were highly untrained- lacked basic hospitality courtesy.’ Our room was inspected thoroughly (felt embarrassing) at the time of check out even though they do not have a mini bar or such amenities in the room.’ Lastly, the linen was clean but it had gotten pale and yellow due to frequent useHowever, I hope they improve all of these but overall the location and view from the hotel is top class. Rooms are spacious and full of natural light which made us feel welcomed.

Clean, comfortable rooms contrast with stained linens and poorly maintained bathroom fixtures.

The setting remains quiet and tranquil, away from crowds and main-square noise.

Breakfast is worthwhile, but the same menu throughout longer stays limits variety.

Charming Family Friendly Stay

Excellent service, area is very accessible at the same time it is very quaint. Away from the main square noises. The complimentary breakfast is absolutely worth it. They have all facilities required for a traveler with family and for solo travelers as well. Area is safe. Rooms are excellent. Would recommend for any first timers and veteran travelers in McLeod Ganj or Dharamshala.

Pleasant Comfortable Stay

I recently stayed at this hotel for three days, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, with staff being courteous and helpful from the start.The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with all the basic amenities provided. Housekeeping did a good job each day, ensuring the space remained tidy. The bed was comfortable, which made it easy to rest after long days.The staff stood out for their politeness and willingness to assist whenever needed. Any requests were handled promptly, which added to the overall comfort of the stay.Food at the hotel was decent, with a reasonable variety of options. While not exceptional, it was satisfactory for a short stay.
