10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and mindblowing food"

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail

10/10 Excellent

"The ITC Tavleen is a beautiful property nestled on a hill overlooking the Himalayas and the Shivalik valley avout 8 kms from Chail. The serenity and pristine beauty leaves you mesmerized. The property's internal road leading to the meditation room makes for a steep climb but can be done unhurriedly. The sunrise from our rooms were magical. The rooms were large and luxurious. The all day restaurant Mongal's deck is a place where you can enjoy your meals and soak in the sunshine. We loved sipping our coffees at the Cafe on the hilltop, as you unwind and let the evening settle itself into the night. I highly recommend vacation destination. The staff were well.informed, helpful and courteous."

6/10 Okay

"The staff at the hotel were excellent, extremely friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Entering the room there was an odour issue, this was alleviated after turning on the AC for an hour or so, the following day the AC was turned off by cleaning and the odour issue returned again. Breakfast could be improved, both in terms of options available and quality of food served. The hotel also lacked amenities with no gym (even if basic). The room was advertised as a suite and appears relatively large in pictures however does not fit my perceived definition of suite and is instead a very slightly larger room. "

10/10 Excellent

"I think this was the best hotel room, wise cleaning wise everything location wise best hotel I have stayed in india me husband and the rest of the family were really happy. Nice clean rooms really nice beds. Everything good only thing I did not like about is the cost of the food is too expensive the roadies they were given us literally a joke they should work on their roti and their food make the prices a little less everything else is good."
