We chose this hotel in the village of Naddi just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of McCleod Ganj where the Dalai Lama Temple is. It was a great move as the traffic jams in town were crazy! The hotel was very welcoming and the owner and staff were incredibly helpful & kind. They gave us tips on local sights (waterfall, river and sunset and view point) scooty hire. Nothing was too much trouble and everything we ordered arrived promptly. The room was cute and quaintly decorated. The colours and furnishings were all very random which added to the charm. The balcony overlooked a farm and rice paddies and faces the snowy peaks of the Himalaya! Even in the heat of May, there was snow to see!! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a beer watching the mountains and women in colourful sarees picking rice and chatting and laughing together. While alcohol isn't available, there is a beer and wine shop a short walk down the road, which we took advantage of! The food was delicious and made to order (breakfast included ) The dining room staff were so friendly! We also had in room dining, there is a table and chairs in the room and also on the balcony so eating in was easy. The bathroom was functional with a western toilet, sink, shower and large bucket and jug for Indian shower which as an Australian I learnt to enjoy more than the standard shower!. Plenty of hot water!
We thoroughly loved the Snow rest. We really felt like they cared about us 💙💙
