The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj, Dharamshala - By Leisure Hotels

We stayed for 5 nights at this charming hotel in the village of McLeod Ganj. The room was cozy, clean and luxurious. The shower was perfect. The food was delicious, varied and excellent. The view was stunning and above all, the staff was pleasant, welcoming and met all our needs. We are grateful to the hotel staff and management for the hospitality 🙏♥️

We really liked the area, it's close enough to the main market but without the noise. It has a beautiful view of the mountains. The staff was warm and welcoming! We would definitely go again!

Nothing, it was perfect!

Very polite and helpful staff

Good location for a stay in McLeod Ganj. We had a view looking over the mountains which was spectacular. Rooms were comfortable and the hotel is just a very short walk into the main town and the Dalai Lama Temple. The food in the hotel was very good and a particular shout out for ‘Rajiv’ and his team who looked after our family extremely well. He even took change out of his own pocket for us on departure as the hotel were unable to provide the correct amount. We wish him all the best for his upcoming wedding.

Significant building work was going on which was very noisy on our arrival to our room but the hotel did address this to make sure we were not impacted too much.

Good location. Clean room. Good food. Hotel staff Tsering is very smart and professional manager :)

construction noise

The staff was amazing. Tsering at reception was so incredibly helpful for my entire stay

Right in centre of town 5 min walk away from Dalai Lama Temple, but also quiet with stunning views ....Clean & Modern

I was debating if to give it 4 or 5 star and ended up giving it a 4 star. I have to say that all was perfect except the room that we got. It was right next to the reception (room 402). I booked a room with a view and got a room with a partial view which most was trees and a building and on the left side we could see the beautiful views. I chose this hotel by the reviews and the beautiful views they offered. I was very disappointed and unhappy with the room we got and I mentioned it to the receptionist. When we checked in and saw the room, we asked if we can move to a different room but was told it was fully booked. On our 3rd day, I saw again the same receptionist and mentioned again how disappointed I was with our room and he told me that if I want to switch, he can give us a better room but it didn’t matter any more because we were there for 4 days 4 nights. On our last day, it was mentioned to me that there were only 3 or 4 totally rooms booed at the hotel so I went back to the reception and told him that I really don’t understand why we couldn’t be moved and he told me that the manager will reach out to me. Which she never did. So if you want a room with a view, I would not recommend room 402.
