Barog was not on our original travel plan. We went to HPTDC Delhi trying to book Hotel Ros Commons (Kasauli) for an extended weekend. Since it was not available and we had a car anyway, they asked us to take up Barog and drive over to Kasauli (just 28 kms by road). After booking, I started reading up on Barog... More

We halted here enroute Chandigarh for lunch. It was very cold as it had been raining all day. The place was warm, they got us a heater while we had our lunch. The food was amazing as well. Great service.

It has become our favorite destination during high heat summers. Just an hours' drive away from the Chandigarh on the Chandigarh-Shimla Highway. This is very very peaceful hotel. It has become even more peaceful place to relax, as another Bye-pass road has been constructed, thus reducing the rush on the road on which it is located. It has got 3-4... More

This hotel has an amazing location overlooking the Barog hills and the very small, beautifully built Scottish styled Railway station (no exactly visible but is at 3kms). The surrounding are quite and you have nothing but the unspoilt nature to enjoy. I had booked a bridal suite which was expensive than the regular deluxe rooms however much to my dismay... More

Similar to other HPTDC hotels, the staff here is again so unquick. The location is no doubt quite good considering the proximity to Delhi/Chandigarh thereby reducing the drive time so much. Locale is quite peaceful and you can relax a lot but service rates low for me as compared to other private hotels. Nonetheless, given the price, it doesn't hurt... More

I have been coming to this place ever since Pinewood Hotel was set up. A place I love truly. Perched at a height of 1730 meters, this Hotel commands a glorious view of mountains in front. Weather is fabulous throughout the year. There is a nice little garden at the lower level where you can sit and order your snacks... More

We booked this place for a night before heading to Mashobra. Its a beautiful HPTDC property. Unlike other govt hotels, its very well maintained. Rooms are nice, spacious and clean. Service is quick. Food is super yummy, both at the cafe and at the restaurant, though slightly expensive. The best part of the hotel are the beautiful gardens and the... More

A Peaceful destination within close reach from Plains.It has the same old charm & traffic congestion has decreased due to alternate highway from kumarhatti to Solan. The Ground floor rooms require a change of carpet.It is a perfect budget location .A one day stay is sufficient en-route simla or chail.
