4. The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj by Leisure Hotels

McLeod Ganj, 0.5 km from Dalai Lama Temple Complex

"The hotel is very well maintained and located close to the main market. However, it is adjacent to a half finished property with a stay order and a little difficult to find since it is behind another hotel. That being said the views from the 5th floor rooms that we booked-509 and 510 were worth a million bucks. Their breakfast is delicious and varied with hot and cold items and Indian and continental fare. Would recommend this place."

The culinary experience was equally impressive, with delicious food served throughout our visit.

Top Dalai Lama Temple Complex Hotel Reviews

Chonor House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful little gem of a hotel located right next to the Dalai Lama temple. Loved our stay here. Extremely comfortable time there with very attentive staff, and lovely rooms. Traditional Tibetan decor made it a special experience. Onsite restaurant with free breakfast was wonderful too. Tibetan cuisine offerings were great. Loved every minute of our stay. We’ll be back!"

Hyatt Regency Dharamshala Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and the hotel location is in a peaceful forest 15 minutes walk to McLeod Ganj where the Dalai Lama lives and the main square. The food at breakfast was excellent and you can ask for things like bananas that were not on the table. The staff were attentive. Our laundry service was excellent as well."

Serkong Rabsel House

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean. The mountain view is nice. Staffs are very genuinely nice and friendly. We got a lot of useful information regarding the etiquette to meet his holiness, things to do, where to eat around Dharamshala. We had a good time and was immensely grateful for their help."

WelcomHeritage Natraj McLeod Ganj

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very wonderful stay very helpful staff and best location"

The Belvedere Himalayan Retreat, Mcleodganj by Leisure Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favourite hotel in McLeod Ganj. It's about a 5 minute walk from the main bazaar, located in a wooded area that's quiet and has spectacular views of Mt. Dhauladhar and the valley. The rooftop restaurant has some of the best views in the area, and the food is good. Lots of variety, and everything I had was well prepared. It has a surprisingly well equipped gym, probably the best I've seen in a hotel. New and high quality equipment, free weights and aerobic things like treadmills and stationary bikes. Staff are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it. The only problem was that only half of the powerpoint worked. Not a big deal though."

"Chambre propre, personnel serviable. Le seul inconvénient est son emplacement, cardiaque s’abstenir."

Hotel King Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at this hotel on Temple Road, McLeod Ganj in January end 2026 and honestly had a very nice experience. Food was really good. The balcony view was amazing — you can see Dharamshala and snow-covered mountains, which felt super peaceful. The place is calm and quiet but still very close to the main square and Dalai Lama Temple, so location is perfect. Mrs Sonia at the reception was very welcoming and kind, made us feel comfortable right from the start. Overall, a simple, peaceful stay with great views and good food. "

Hotel The Nest

8/10 Good

"We didn’t book a taxi transfer from the airport with the hotel, which we regret as the taxi driver struggled to find the hotel. We had absolutely no problem with the taxi transfer to the airport organised by the hotel. He got to the airport in about 45mins. To get from the hotel to the main part of the town you have to walk up lots of steps. The room we stayed in was nice with a balcony to admire the Mountain View and a heater which was needed in the evenings in the second half of November. The bathroom was less inviting. To get hot water, you needed to turn the heater on in the bathroom, which we weren’t told about. The shower didn’t have a shower tray and wet a large part of the bathroom floor. When we arrived there wasn’t any toilet paper or bottled water, but this was provided on request. We didn’t have breakfast but we did eat at the hotel once. Lots of things on the menu weren’t available and the restaurant area was very cold. We ate with our coats on. There is an outside rooftop dining area which I imagine is very pleasant on warm summer evenings. Final thing to be aware of, but nothing to do with the hotel is lots of dog barking all through the night."
