The Hermitage Kanatal

We had a good stay at The Hermitage. The staff was very helpful and courteous and went out of the way to meet our requests. The property has multiple terraces for one to enjoy the view. The rooms were wood panelled and comfortable. The food was quite good and the buffet had good variety.

Highlights : service from Mr. Sarvesh in fnb. He was friendly and courteous. Food was good! Bonfire experience was lovely. Owners are friendly and interacted with us. Improvement : rooms need an upkeep for sure. Bathrooms are not well planned. One of the bathroom you cross the bath area to go to the commode which is quite senseless one can slip and fall if floor is wet post shower. Garbage was burnt outside the rooms in the forest which I felt is something that the hotel needs to change. They need to find a better way for garbage disposal otherwise what is the point of being in nature if one is going to eventually ruin it. I hope these feedbacks are taken in the right spirit.

You can almost miss The Hermitage, ubiquitous on the Chamba-Mussoorie highway. We did, as we were carrying internet pictures of the property in our minds. But once you enter and walk across to the rear sitout, you relate to these pictures and appreciate the open spaces. The front of the property faces a valley while the rear looks into a forest. There are lots of reviews already posted. So, not much to add. The owner Lez Bhatia is a wonderful host and a great conversationalist. The property is clean, the rooms are comfortable, though a bit overpriced and the electric bed warmers are a very thoughtful idea. There is not much choice for eating out in the area. This was okay with us since the service and staff are excellent at the hotel.

my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experience my family and I had during our recent stay at The Hermitage Kanatal. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the stunning ambience of your resort, which perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the surroundings. The food at your resort was truly outstanding. Each meal was a culinary delight, and we appreciated the variety and quality of dishes offered. The dining experience was made even more enjoyable by the warm and attentive service provided by your staff. Speaking of the staff, I must commend Mr. Sarvesh for his professionalism and exceptional hospitality throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and was always ready to assist us with a smile. His courteous and helpful demeanor truly enhanced our overall experience at your resort. Thank you once again for ***aging such a remarkable property and for creating a memorable experience for us. We look forward to returning to The Hermitage Kanatal in the future and will gladly recommend your resort to our friends and family.

Overall service : The hotel has a very well-behaved team of staff at the reception and also at its housekeeping and dinjbg room. All requests are met immediatel

Not a bad place, but below expectation. High expectation setup due to its high rating and the price. The hotel room really needs upgrade - no views from room, curtains that dont slide, underwhelming furniture, not so clean beddings, pillow covers, torn towels. No view from outside sitting as well. However, things that we liked were its food, nice service, convenient location and evening bonfire. But at this price, we would recommend an alternate place.

Ok place, below expectation. Food was good, open areas have a nice feel and are welcoming, staff is well behaved. Location is bang on the Chamba Mussoorie road. Despite balcony being an inclusion in the booking, got a room with no balcony - the closest there was to a balcony was a outside lobby full of water dispenser and chairs and fully covered with glass panels overlooking the road. Very limited parking space - only 4 cars. Room was a two side window room woth curtains and blinds that juat do not cover they are non functional or do not slide, bathroom was similar and I requested curtain adjus**ent to cover. The hand soap does not foam and is all broken, the towels are torn. The owners are very warm and welcoming though a tad bit defensive from the word go. Note to add - be prepared for random rules like these - xyz price for losing a key. I wouldn’t mind paying whatever the resort thought was fit if I lost a key, but ironically I also had the only room which did not have a door lock but an old fashioned near breakdown bolt n lock. If customers are penalised, only fair locks are also fixed.

A lovely and warm place to stay. A very welcoming a**osphere. We loved the hospitality of Mrs Su*** and Sir ,very interesting personalities. We loved our time spent there. Its very clean and food is also nice .We also enjoyed the bon fire over there .

The place is best placed in lap of nature. It has valley with dense forests behind and a beutiful scenic valley in the front. Rooms are good, hospitality is great, the ambience is mesmerizing, garhwali food is something which is a must try. Overall one of the best place to stay for a tranquil vacation having conversation with nature..
