An excellent hotel. Located just in front of the bus stop in Dalhousie, this hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Large room with a spacious balcony offering great view of the town, clean toilet - at a very reasonable tariff which includes breakfast and dinner. The buffet spread for breakfast and dinner were elaborate. Special mention must be made of the very courteous and helpful staff who looked after us so well, always ready to help - Mr. Honey Singh was exceptional with his service and help. Wifi was also good. Whilst having breakfast or dinner, the owner himself used to make his rounds at each table and enquire about the food and service and anything that we required. A very nice gesture. The staff members were very attentive. There is a cart service which brings guests from the front steps to the reception which is a big help. The only suggestion which we made to the owner was to try to repair the broken steps at the hotel's approach - this is the municipal area so I guess the hotel does not have much to do. The approach to the dining room has lovely lawn with flowers, absolutely picture perfect. There are other amenities too, like spa, a large banquet area on the terrace etc. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely like to stay here if we visit Dalhousie again. Recommend strongly to all travellers to Dalhouse.

On our current tour of India, we came to Grand View from a 5-star hotel in Ludhiana. And Grand View with its 4 stars was clearly superior to the 5-star hotel in terms of decor. Whereas the previous hotel had a dreary, depressing decor, Grand View welcomes you wit a fresh, cheery light decor. Our room had a balcony and a gorgeous Mountain View.
The bathroom is spacious. Hot water comes instantly as soon as you turn the tap on. The water pressure is excellent. The bathroom fixtures are modern and they have showers atop bathtubs which have jets in them, jacuzzi style. However the bathtub is quite high and very difficult to step in and out of, for people with limited mobility. My wife could not get in & out of the tub without help. It is a shame that the bathtubs were installed less than a year ago. They need to have some rooms with walk-in showers for such people.
The paint in our room had bubbles from damp and the plaster was cracked.
The hotel is built on a hill and though it is only a few yards from
The road, you have to climb up several stairs & then take a steep ramp to reach the main entrance of the hotel. But they have people who will carry your luggage for you (for a tip) and a golf cart to take those with limited mobility up the ramp. Kuldeep, the cart driver is most helpful.
Generally the staff is very helpful. Mr. Sharma, their front desk manager and their restaurant manager were also helpful.
One suggestion I have (apart from the bathtub), is to start breakfast hour earlier than their 8:15 am start time.
If they fix the bathtub issue, I would have no problem staying there again.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Grand view hotel ! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure every detail was perfect. My room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and offered a breathtaking view. The amenities were top-notch, and the dining experience was phenomenal. I especially appreciated the little touches, like complimentary refreshments and personalised service.

Special thanks to Mr Rana manager of the hotel. Best hospitality I have experienced ever and their dedication to guest satisfaction was evident and professional approach truly made a difference

The location is unbeatable - close to all the attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. I can't recommend this hotel enough, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

My wife and I stayed at the Grand View Hotel from 13th October to the 17th of October, 2024. We stayed in Room 309 of the Luxury Wing (new block) of the Hotel. The room was very spacious and had a great view of the Dauladhar Ranges. Bathroom had good facilities and house-keeping was prompt and excellent. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel as this was included in the tariff. Food at the restaurant was sumptuous. Rarely have we had such good food for a buffet. In addition a service-butler was assigned to each room to see that all our needs were taken care of. The head of food-services, Shri Ajay Rana as well as Ms Radhika and her husband (owners of the hotel) went around talking to the guests during breakfast time to assure the best quality of service. We enjoyed the live music performance of Shri Sunny Bedi who sang old Hindi songs beautifully and also encouraged guests to participate in the Karaoke sessions. The time spent at the restaurant as well as in the rooms was blissful. We enjoyed the warm hospitality of every one of the hotel staff, including the person who drove the golf-cart to ferry guests up the steep slope from the gate to the reception desk. The only thing I could ask for is some clean washroom facility with warm water for the drivers of vehicles of guests. I feel this is something the hotel can easily provide to make everyone travelling comfortable.

We had stayed in luxury room in Grand view for nights. Views of Valley and montains behind were amazing. Room and bathroom is very testfully made with good quality furniture and accessories. Bathroom with Jacuzzi was large and can give competition to five star hotel. Being mountain hotel little up and downs may not like by unfit or those who don't nlove to walk though they have attangement of electrical buggy from parking to lobby.

Our package was inclusive of breakfast and dinner. Food were amazing and fresh. Varities not too much not too less. Restaurant service were excellent. Karaoke at dinner time was icing on the cake. Got to sing 2-3 songs at expense of an audience.

Best part of this hotel was ever smiling and co-operative staff. I feel reason behind this is personal attention by fifth generation owners Mr. Ashish & Radhika. They personally meet and greet each and every groups and ask for shortcomings, if any.

I must say my experience at Grand View was amazing and perfect to the core.

The Grand View hotel is conveniently tucked away near the Dalhousie Bus Stand at a little higher elevation. There is a golf cart service to take guests to the hotel reception. The luxury room I booked was cosy, clean and had all the amenities one can ask for. It had a balcony and magnificent view of the mountains. The room service, housekeeping and laundry services were top notch. Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of items in it. The owners Ashish and Radhika were wonderful hosts and they interacted with the guests often. The Grand View hotel is one of the finest hotels in Dalhousie and I am very happy I had a wonderful stay at the Grand View. I shall definitely stay there on my next visit to Dalhousie.

Breathtaking Views and Exceptional Service at Grand View
Our recent 3-night stay at Grand View was nothing short of exceptional. We were treated to luxurious mountain-facing rooms, offering a truly serene escape.

A Serene Mountain Escape:
The highlight of the room was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the mountains. Waking up to such a peaceful panorama each morning was pure bliss.

Staff that Goes the Extra Mile:
The staff at Grand View were truly the stars of the show. Everyone we encountered, from the friendly front desk team to the attentive housekeeping crew, was incredibly helpful and professional. Their genuine care for our comfort shone through, ensuring a fantastic experience throughout our stay.
A unique touch was the personal interaction with the hotel manager and owner during breakfast and dinner. They took the time to visit our table, inquire about our daily adventures in the city, and welcomed any feedback.
Even the initial greeting upon arrival set the tone beautifully. The staff member who met us at the beginning with a battery car and escorted us to reception was incredibly welcoming and supportive.

A Perfect Getaway:
Overall, our stay at Grand View was unforgettable. From the luxurious accommodations and stunning mountain views to the exceptional staff, it truly had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a relaxing and luxurious experience in a beautiful mountain setting.

Five out of Five Stars!

Recently I with my wife visited dalhousie and stayed at the grand view hotel. I must tell you it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. The family events at night and the breakfast and dinner all at one place ensures we have a great time at the property.
Its prime location and the ambiance especially of the old building which also has the restaurant, is remarkable.
I thank the owner of the property who herself attends each and every guest to ensure a comfortable stay and all the staff for the exceptional hospitality.
Also a big thumbs up to the restaurant manager Mr Rana for helping out to plan out and discover the nearby places apart from managing the restaurant!
My advice is: if you are visiting dalhousie try to book the proper atleast 2-3 weeks before as it always fully booked or contact the hotel owner from google contact.
Will be visiting soon✨
