Rooms are good large and spacious but the staff lets you down. Specially the front office and the management - on the contrary the restaurant staff is excellent. This is situated at least 1.5 kms from the main temple and the hotel does not provide any facility to travel between the hotel and the temple. The one thing probably working for the hotel is that they have the most spacious rooms around. Other hotels in Badrinath have small rooms and even smaller bathrooms. Its interesting being situated at a pilgrimage place the hotel is not elderly friendly - their lifts never seems to work, and you have to get your elders to walk the 1.5 kms on a mountain. Food is good and service in the restaurant is excellent.

To be honest when I went to Badrinath, I went in with 0 expectation. I knew it was a pilgrimage town and so the hospitality sector can't be that bad. There were numerous guest houses but this seemed like the only professionally run hotel. Rooms were clean, the restaurant served decent food and the staff was polite. It is not exactly a resort but then perhaps it might be suitable to a be a bit austere in a pilgrimage town.

I stayed here for two nights in 2007 as part of a pilgrimage tour with a group of western meditation students. After a few weeks in ashrams and guest houses, including some VERY basic accomodations in Uttarkashi and Gangotri (where I actually thought " since I'm so well behaved this will be closes I ever get to sleeping in a prison cell"), this hotel was a godsend.
Our group was booked into yet another stone cold ashram, and my friend and I looked at each other and said "time for a princess upgrade". We looked at the other "western style" hotels in Badrinath, but they were WAY past their prime - moldy, damp, depressing, and not very clean. We happened to notice the Park Inn (it has since changed it's name) which had just opened, and were overjoyed to find a hotel with heat, clean bathrooms, a decent restaurant on location, and everything we needed. We ordered room service, extra blankets, etc. and had no problems. At that time, internet was only available at a computer in the hotel lobby, but really, this isn't the kind of trip you should be worried about staying to connected to THAT world. Besides, who can resist a hotel in the Himalayas with a plastic orange palm tree in front and the ubiquitous galloping mustang artwork? Only drag was getting altitude sickness, but can't blame that on the hotel!

. Excellent hotel with Hot/Cold water with Electric heated blankets, friendly and efficient staff. Restaurant food is good. The Corridors need to be made pretty(very Drab).The place is expensive (rs 5000). No internet
