The place oozes charm, being filled with traditional Tibetan pieces of art and craft. They have 11 rooms, which are not numbered as they go by names, and each name reflects the room unique decoration theme. Murals, colors, carpets, bed covers, furniture, everything is tuned to the room theme. We stayed in the "Trees & Flowers" room but peeked at... more

The Chonor House is high quality in every way. The restaurant has excellent, clean food and good service. The rooms are works of art and kept very clean. A medical doctor is on call and was needed thrice for my student group. The front desk staff were helpful, friendly and efficient as they booked our taxi's or sent our laundry... more

Stayed in September 2009, with my wife and our baby daughter. The place was so highly recommended, tough to get into (were on a waitlist for a few days etc.), and on the higher end cost wise, so I guess our expectations were high. And maybe we have high standards (though having lived in India for the past 3 years,... more

This truly is a hidden gem of a hotel. Up a steep road, a Tibetan oasis awaits. The staff are supremely helpful and kind, addressing your every need. We had the opportunity to stay in two different rooms as we booked a little late, and we had to switch up rooms at the end of our stay. This is was... more

I had picked this hotel having read good reviews of it on various websites (including Trip Advisor). Overall it was a pleasant experience, but there were a few “issues” which I would be wrong not to mention. Firstly, I found the hotel very difficult to find – even as someone who has visited McLeod Ganj a few times in the... more

Hi, I organize and lead small(10-12) tours to sacred and exotic destinations from CapeTown, South Africa. I have stayed at Chonor House for 3 nights twice in the past 2 years. My groups all absolutely love their experience here. The rooms are spacious with views of the mts, most with balconies. The traditional art work is preserved on the walls... more

We set out to plan for a trip to Mcleodganj because we'd heard so much about it, about His Holiness Dalai Lama chosing this over other places as his home in exile, of the wonderful eateries that had mushroomed thanks to the booming spiritual tourism, of people of all races and religions having a good time! We just had to... more

On arrival we were amazed at the exquisite Tibetan wall painting and furniture in our suite. The accommodation was extremely comfortable although the small bathroom needed an update. The only downside was the 1:5 access from the road below (or a rocky path from the road above) which would prove impossible for someone with mobility problems. The Tibetan staff were... more

The hotel is located up a lane from the main temple complex and taxi-stand, and within walking distance of the town square. The rooms are beautifully decorated, staff service is efficient and unobtrusive. My room had a fridge, mini-bar, incense burner and incense, and an electric heater. An excellent attached restaurant, craft store, and email access. more
