Gmvn Dhanolti Heights hotel is located right on the road and adjacent to the ECO park. It is a very spacious hotel with a restaurant on the ground floor. It has neat ,big rooms with hot water availability in the bathrooms. Suffecient parking space is available for the people who stay here but the day visitors usually make it difficult. I stayed there with my wife and son during August 2012 for two nights and the monsoon rainy season had made Dhanolti very cold and extremely foggy. We felt like eating hot snacks every time and the restaurant services didn't dasappoint us though they were a bit slow. Stamina sapping Surkanda Devi temple is not very far from here but must not be missed. Last but not the least, GMVN Dhanolti Heights hotel provides a pleasent stay and is worth recommendation.

We stayed in Hotel Dhanaulti Heights GMVN from 23-25 Mar. The hotel has 2 wings - New building with the reception, restaurant and new rooms. Old Wing with the old rooms. 3 types of rooms are avlbl in old wing - Economy, Semi Deluxe and Deluxe. 2 types of rooms are avlbl in the new wing - Deluxe and Super Deluxe We took a Semi Deluxe room in the old wing - Room 201.

From old wing, no views are available from any room. Old wing has a common terrace which is just beside the Deluxe rooms and a 1 min walk from the Semi Deluxe rooms. Old wing rooms are bigger but are not very tidy because of their old structure. Deluxe rooms just have one additional small ante room. We paid 2016 per day for the semi deluxe room.

New wing rooms are cleaner but are steeply priced. Deluxe rooms are 3500 per day and Super Deluxe has 2 private viewing balconies but priced at 4500 per day. I felt they are not worthwhile to spend that much. We just roamed into the new wing and went to the private balcony as the room was vacant and took pics of the peaks during morning hours.

Service and behaviour of the employees are very good. They will deliver food to your room, terrace or garden. But, one caution - beware of the monkeys while taking food. We got attacked while having breakfast in the terrace in old wing. All the food were taken away by the monkeys. Employees were very cooperative and they gave the breakfast again with no extra charge.

Common Breakfast in included in the room rent. We also wanted a drop to Dehradun airport at 8AM. The hotel staff arranged it very promptly. We paid 3000 for the drop to airport.

Hotel manager Mr. Rawat was very helpful. He arranged for a room heater @ 200 per day which was very much needed for my 2 yr old baby.

I have stayed and reviewed quite a few properties of KMVN but this is the first property of GMVN (Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam) that I am reviewing. Going by my experience and the fact that Dhanaulti is not an ordinary destination but popular one, I can safely say that KMVN does a lot better work. As usual, being a government owned property it commands the best location and handsome space available in the town. But that perhaps is just not enough.
The property has two wings- old and the new. Obviously the new wing was constructed recently. But the construction of the new wing hasn't stopped GMVN from the milking the old wing of whatever is left of it. There is stark difference between the two wings. Old wing has spacious rooms but in poor condition, though not inhabitable, honestly. Building is worn & torn, allays are dark. New wing rooms are not as spacious but are new, better furnished and have balconies. Since the reception, kitchen and the service, all are in the new wing, hence new wing gets quick service than the old wing.
The other difference they have made between the two wings is the tariff. New wing tariffs are thrice the tariffs of old wings. I agree that rooms are new and better furnished but still the tariff is just not justifiable. With that tariff, one will better go and take two rooms in other hotels in the market. A traveller like me, who hardly stays in rooms during day, will opt for old wing to have a room just for sleeping in the bed. And, as somebody else has also mentioned, Eco huts right opposite the GMVN hotel are also government owned (forest), have cottage like room design, quaint location, superb views and tariffs lower than old wing of the GMVN hotel. I hope that makes the point clear.
The kitchen service at the GMVN hotel also needs to be improved a lot. It crumbles when there is tourist pressure. Honestly, nobody comes here to stay in rooms. Everybody likes to go for the sightseeing after the breakfast. So when hotel is running on high capacity, the wait for breakfast sometimes becomes irritating.
All said and done, the staff at the hotel is hospitable and cooperative. They might be slow at times, but then it is GMVN.

We got to Dhanaulti from Mussoorie. On arriving at our pre-booked lodge, Hotel Dhanaulti Heights, the GMVN Tourist Rest House at Dhanalti, we faced no problems at all as the members of the hotel staff were very helpful. It was a great experience staying there mostly because of the natural beauty we found ourselves surrounded by at this place. The room service at this hotel was good. There was an intercom facility, but we faced power cut during the day owing to which the intercom facility did not work then. The power cut started at about 12:30 p.m. Power supply was restored after some hours. In the evening or night there was no power cut. One of the members of the hotel staff told me they give power back up for some hours (so far as I remember from 6 p.m. to 10 or 11 p.m.) during power cut in the evening. The room service continued up to 09 p.m. after which we needed to go downstairs to receive any service. The toilet fittings were very good. As expected there was geyser facility. The location of the hotel is very convenient for us as it is located beside the main road. Our visit to Maa Surkanda Devi Temple from there was really a great experience. Our next destination was Chamba, Tehri Garhwal. One of the members of the hotel staff helped us book a Mahindra Maxx which took us to Chamba.Really it was a very beautiful experience there.

I went with my friend here in dec. The room is very big with chairs and tables. It was neat and clean. The gyser runs 24 hours with instant hot water.

The view of the entire hotel is at scenic place. Very cool, calm in the middle of nature.

The room service is awesome and the food served here is delicious.

Perfect place to stay with family; esp with kids as a big park is adjacent to the hotel with lush greenery.

I love to go back here again next year.

I had a trip to Dhanaulti on 1st Dec. 2014 and stayed in the GVMN Hotel Dhanaulti heights. It's an old property but working well for the guests. The whole staff was very courteous and helpful. The adjoining restaurant had been a good one as Dhanaulti is a small town and you'll not find much eating spots there in off season. The rates of everything were quite reasonable. Keeping in view of current scenario, which is not very friendly for the tourists, here one can stay with fully assured security.

While travelling to Landour, Mussoorie we took a long break at Hotel Dhanaulti Heights. Dhanulti is a small quiet green village on the road connecting Mussoorie and Chamba.Tentaively, it is about 35 kilometers from Mussoorie. It has great ingredients for an attractive tourist spot: a nature-manicured deodar forest with a valley in the front and Snow-clad Mountains on the horizon. The Hotel offers excellent views of the valley and surrounding forests.The eco-park around the hill is reasonably well –maintained to allow the tourists enjoy the ethereal delicacies of sight. The climb through the deodar forest is an intimate rendezvous with nature. On reaching the top of the small hill, one has the awesome view of the far and near. The cool and clean air, the chirping birds; the soft sunrays greet you with great care and love. Dhanaulti is visited mostly by tourists in transit. However, in view of the richness and beauty of nature in Dhanaulti, the place deserves more attention and traffic of the discerning tourists who enjoy the Himalayan expanse and serenity. To cater to the tourists, in addition to Hoetl Dhanaulti Heights, quite a few hotels and resorts are being developed. We hope Dhanaulti would emerge as a major destination in the near future.

Mismanagement at its best, that's how I'd describe my experience with this government facility at Dhanaulti.
I checked in this this hotel in the late evening of October 3rd, 2014 along with 5 other families of my friends. We had booked 5 so called deluxe rooms and one economy room for an overnight stay at this small beautiful town. On waking up the next morning we found that there was no water supply in four of the five 'deluxe' rooms so we wasted our two hours in carrying the water buckets from one room to other four rooms, on our own.
The only difference between a deluxe and economy room was the facility of television, but the Airtel DTH connection was non-operational because of non-payment of dues and the same was not reinstated even after several requests to the so-called management.
Inspite of all this GMVN was not ashamed to include the luxury tax in our bills.
I'd advice to avoid an overnight stay in this town instead try your level best to reach here early in the morning, spend your day in nearby Eco Park, Apple Garden etc. and return either to Mussoorie or New Tehri by evening.

It was a sudden trip so couldn't book in much advance. Due to season only option I was getting of economy room(only 1 was left). Difference between Economy room and deluxe is TV set and intercom for room service and deluxe is in 1 floor.
Hotel is located next to Eco park two. Dhanaulti itself is quiet place surrounded by cedar trees. It was cold and rained in evening. No power backup in room. Geyser is present in economy room. Staff is very simple and courteous. Lastly breakfast(lot of choice like toast, paranthas, puri bhaji) is complementary.
P.S. suite looked quite good from outside and are costly(mostly occupied by foreigner's)
