초노르 하우스

The staff were so helpful and really looked after us. Even quickly giving me a seperate room to my friend very late at night, when she was really ill and needed space. The location is also stunning. I would recommend Chonor House. Thanks.

Great location and staff, let down by communication and breakfast logistics The Positives: The location is fantastic if you enjoy the bustling energy of a busy market and temple area. The staff were lovely, and some members of our group had a beautiful, spacious room full of character. The Negatives: Arrival: The uphill road to the hotel is extremely narrow, and many drivers refuse to go up it. After a lengthy debate between the staff and our driver, the problem was left to us. We had to drag our suitcases uphill. Though they eventually assisted, it was a frustrating start. Room Issues: Our room (3 people) was much smaller and less nicely done up than our friends' room (2 people). On day two, reception abruptly told us we had to change rooms immediately for another group. We had zero warning. While they moved our luggage, the forced move was poor customer service, and the next room was even worse. Breakfast: The hotel was severely understaffed. Food items and clean cups constantly ran out, forcing us to repeatedly ask for basic things. It felt like they were intentionally rationing items; when juice ran out, instead of refilling the pitcher, staff asked exactly how many glasses we wanted and brought only that amount. Verdict: I recommend the hotel, but confirm your room type before arrival and manage your expectations for breakfast.

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 the airport (taxi, not a walk) Service here went above and beyond. There was a mix-up that was my fault with some room charges at the end, but I had already left. They were incredibly kind, patient and trusting in working with me to correct the error. One note: This place was a little hard to find, even for my taxi driver -- it's right across the street from the exit of the Dalai Lama temple, but it's up about halfway on a little side alley. This wasn't a problem for me but be forewarned, to get into the hotel from the main street, you have to walk up a short but pretty steep hill, and then go up a lot of stairs. All is all, an overwhelmingly great stay for me that I would repeat and recommend.

View from room beautiful and good breakfast

Helpful staff, clean room, spacious room, unique character, convenient location, delicious food.

Wonderful Tibetan hotel, a treasure in so many ways. Lovely people, lovely place and a lovely location. Minutes to the Dalai Lama Temple, the Kora circuit and the markets. The place itself is beautiful and a paradise away from the hub bub of taxi stalls, markets and the energy of the city. The Hummingbird Cafe was delicious! We ate Tibetan foods everyday and loved each meal. We bought a beautiful artisan Tibetan picture frame from their mini store in the cafe. All proceeds go toward the Tibetan cultural and educational programs. Bravo Norbulingkha Institute, thank you. We adored our stay.

There was a generator or something which was making loud noises all night long!

Overall experience was good. Thank you to all the staff at Chonor

Vom alten Glanz des Hotels ist nicht viel übrig geblieben. Die Zimmer weisen zwar nach wie vor schöne tibetische Wandmalereien auf, müssten aber dennoch aufgefrischt werden. Die Fensterrahmen wurden so lieblos neu bemalt, dass auch das Fliegengitter Farbe abgekriegt hat, was einen schmuddeligen Eindruck hinterlässt. Der Balkon müsste neu gestrichen werden.etc etc Man merkt, dass ein starkes Management fehlt. Zur Zeit von Kim Yishi war dies anders. Auch der wunderbare Gartenbereich bräuchte eine Aufbesserung: die Sitzkissen sind schmutzig, an den Lampen hängen Spinnennetze. (Am Tag unserer Abreise sind die schmutzigen Sitzkissen endlich zur Reinigung gebracht worden, vielleicht weil wir alles fotografiert haben?) Das Frühstück ist mager, das Servicepersonal schlecht geschult. Das Wifi funktioniert oft nicht. Passen Sie beim Buchen von Taxis auf: einmal wollte das Hotel für eine Fahrt, die normalerweise 300 Rs kostet, Rs 900 verlangen. Kurz: wir haben dieses Hotel zum letzten Mal gebucht. Schade, denn wie gesagt sind die Zimmer sehr schön gestylt, der Garten ist wunderbar, und die Lage ist ideal.

Cuisine was excellent, they have a very good chef. Hospitality was a 10, and the hotel is worth the money for a truly authentic experience. Recommend 100%

Great location clean and friendly. However poor Breakfast Bharat

Lovely room in a great location.

Great Memory in life

Chonor House is one of the best small hotels in that small corner. I like the large balcony with mountain views. The room is equipped enough for guest’s conveniences. The only problem was the water source, smelly but looked clean.

Had a lovely stay at Chonor House. The hotel has beautiful Tibetan interiors and is a minute from the Dalai Lama Temple complex. There were some issues we had at the property - there seems to be a problem with the plumbing throughout and on one occasion, we found cockroaches at the breakfast area, but the staff was very nice and made changes as requested - changing rooms and changing the entire breakfast spread. Tenzing and Pelki (hope the spelling is right) are really helpful, and a special word of thanks to Pelki who seemed like one of the most competent managers I've seen, and very friendly. Owing to the unique circumstances we found ourselves in (with the threat of war with Pakistan), they even waived our charges for meals we had there. (One word of caution for those with walking difficulties, the hotel is located on a steep slope and has a few steps to climb once you're there.)

In our view a great place and hard to beat in McLeod Ganj. Highly enjoyed it as we previously have.

A slice of heaven. A real gem in McLeod Ganj and my favorite hotel by far. The sweet staff, amazing painted rooms, the atmosphere is exceptional - a wonderful view. I’ve stayed 4 times and it’s one of my favorite places to come back to. Can’t wait to come back again!

The staff at Chonor House are more than helpful. Everyone is pleasant and friendly. The decor is lovely and the terrace is a beautiful place to chill.

I loved this hotel. I'm an American who was visiting after working in Delhi for a week. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was wonderful. They booked our ride to the airport and they booked us a half day tour with a cab one afternoon go around Dharamshala. It's easy walking distance to basically everything but isolated enough to not ear car horns all night. I would happily stay here again.

Chonor House is a gem and an ideal place to stay in McLeod Ganj/Dharamsala for those interested in Tibetan culture and the Dalai Lama. It's just a short walk from the Main Temple where the Dalai Lama addresses the public from time to time and where you can see daily debates among the monks as well as sacred and beautiful Buddhist objects. Another monastery is even closer, and monks regularly drank tea and ate alongside us in the Chonor House restaurant. The hotel is affiliated with the Norbulingka Institiute, which works to preserve the techniques of Tibetan art, so Chonor House is beautifully decorated in the Tibetan style and has free passes to Norbulingka itself. Enthusiastically recommended!
