 Chonor House - Lhamo Opera
Room by DaDrifter
The room rates start from around Rs. 1,500 for double occupancy. It is better to book a room in advance since the hotel sees a lot of visitors throughout the year. The hotel is equipped with a good restaurant that serves authentic tibetan cuisine, cakes and deserts.
Chonor House offers visitors a virtual tour of tibet. Each room is based on a different theme and has rich murals painted by tibetan artists around it. The murals are based on themes such as - Wild Life, Tribes, Opera, Myths and Legends of Tibet.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HOTEL IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE Him Queen ANNEXE.
I booked via the internet. I was very tired having just arrived via England delhi and 12 hours on the Jammu mail train and finally a hair raising 3 hr taxi ride from Pathankot.
I was glad to be given a romm but was shocked to find that the room was filthy. Dirt and dust everywhere. The inside of the fridge was filthy. The bed was lumpy. I made the chenge bed sheets only to see what I think was a blood stain on the thin and worn out mattress. The staffs attempt at cleaning involved no cleaning products but just cold water and old cloths. I stayed one night as I was too tired to move.
The restaurant didnt have many of the things on the menu.
So Itold them I was moving nest door.
The owner tried to get me to stay by reducing the rate but was not apologetic at all about the dirty conditions.
This hotel room was shocking. Im easygoing and I am am not picky but at this place I was concerned for my health!!!

 The view from the balcony by lachydragon
There were a few hours where the power supply was pretty erratic and so we were without hot water as the hotel did not have a generator hooked up, which was a little disappointing but didn't pose that big a problem.
The owners were really nice - and could organise many tours as well as running a travel service taking people to Kashmir (the owners themselves were originally from Kashmir). But I think the best pasrt of the hotel was the stunning rooftop balcony and restaurant. You could sit out in the evenings and gaze on down the valley to the plains below watching the sun set. If your turned around you caught glimpses of the snow capped mountains through the trees. There were also glimpses of the Dalai Lama's Monastery down the valley to the left too. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: Down the southern end of town the two main roads come close to meeting and you have temple road leading off to the Dalai Lama's place. Take the middle road and its about 100m on the right.

 Drinking Kashmiri Chai in
the restaurant courtyard by lachydragon
The only drawback was that to reach the hotel you have a pretty steep walk down the steps that run off from near the post-office on Jogibara Rd. If we wern't a bit hung-over from all the travelling and feeling a bit more energetic it would be a wonderful place to stay. Also the rooms looks straight up onto the most beautiful mountains and that is the big benefit of its orientation - that you get the mountain and not valley views. All-in-all a highly recommended place to stay if you are feeling fit and are after some beautiful views! Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averagePhone: +61 01892 220069Directions: Down the stairs that run off from the left of Jogibara road if you are walking down from the main street - just after the post office. Sharma is then on the right hand side from these stairs maybe 200m down.Other Contact: majeed373_h@yahoo.com

Unlike many of the places in India where accommodation prices are determined by the time of year, McLeod Ganj sees its accommodation rates determined by the movements of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. At the time we stayed he was not in town and so the hotelliers were charging some of the cheapest rates we had seen in our travels in India so far. But we were told my one helpful hotellier that when he arrives the tariffs jump up something like 300%!! That means that if you are planning your stay in McLeod Ganj to cooincide with The Dalai Lama's teachings then you should expect to pay up to Rs.400 - Rs.600 for the accommodation that I have described.

I stayed here for 9 nights in January 2005. The service was good and Gulzar the boss was always very polite and helpful.
My room was adequate -Satellite TV bathroom with hot water nad a shower balcony-cleaned regularly but very cold so they gave me a heater.
Laundry was washed everyday by a laundry in Mcleod ganj. Overall it is an inexpensive, simple and central hotel with great views of the valley.
Incidentally Him means snow.

 the magnificant Himalayas! by shalin
The most expensive in the area amd yet highly reasonable, it's usually always booked,so do plan in advance. Also, it's run by the Dalai Lama's sister, so that;s an added attraction!
Breakfast was simply divine...huge portions of mango (if you come in the right season) and banana stuffed pancakes with honey, and juices and smoothies and eggs...yes, the menu's quite large! And if you've been dining everywhere else, you'll find this place slightly steep ..but the beauty of McLeod is that you're bound to be able to afford everything. Considering the views and the gourmet food, they could up it 10 times and we'd still be pleased! :)

It's a bit upon the hill and you have to walk many steps to reach it, but the view from it's roof is very nice.
MOst peaole who stay here, stay in McLeod for a longer time, which means a few month.
I didn't stay here that long, but I enjoyed my time very much.
They have rooms with bathroom, but shared bathrooms, as well.
The monks a very nice and helpful.
I stayed in a doubleroom, which was very clean, but quite small. I didn't have an own bathroom, so I only paid 75 rupees (a bit more than one euro..) single rooms with shared bathroom are 50 rs.
this prices stay same all season. I was here while His Holyness teachings, which normally let the prices rise...
the higher rooms have a phantasic view over the whole town. Theme: Pension/GuesthousePrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: it's above the tibetan hospital
