Overall a great experience during couple of days stay at the location. Fine dining and great amenities helped my stay very comfortable. Will visit with my family again next year.

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.

The service here was exceptional and friendly, and the rooms were absolutely beautiful. Coming back at night felt like stepping into my own Buddhist shrine. Great breakfast and overall very good restaurant. And if being able to pop over to the Dalai Lama's temple easily is important to you, it would be almost impossible to beat this location. You're walking distance to everything in Mcleod here, and a cheap taxi or a nice work-out walk to everything from Dharamkot/Tushita meditation center to...

It was an amazing stay. Everything was outstanding. I will definitely return and recommend to others. The location is stunning. The attached photo is from my room's balcony.

The folks at the New Serkong House provided us with a warm welcome and peaceful stay before and after our 10 days at Tushita Meditation Center. We were grateful for their hospitality and appreciated their assistance and advice.
We especially enjoyed having a beverage on their cafe’s open balcony overlooking the valley as eagles soared by and the sun set over the mountains.

Don't let the name fool you. This could easily be a Vivanta, Taj or Hyatt. It is run like a 4 star property.
The staff have an incredible "can do" attitude for even the most challenging requests.
I was very impressed as a westerner - especially as Best Westerns are not exactly 4stars in the US.
Super plus points on the shower which was never ending hot with exceptional pressure. Amenities, views and rooftop terrace sets this property apart from everything in Mcleod Ganj

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...
