I stay in many hotels and guest houses all over the world and the panda was a great place to stay. The staff were attentive, kind and considerate. Also they were always willing to help give advice and recommendations. I especially liked the location which was just off the main road enough (5 min walk) to make it a perfect place to unwind and relax. I should also mention the amazing views and veranda!

A very pleasant stay, in a large, comfortable, clean room with a pretty impressive view. Hotel owners/staff all very friendly and very helpful. Hotel has a nice big terrace, again with a super view, where you can have breakfast and evening meal, and can socialise/discuss the day's cricket over a drink with other guests. Food was pretty good, although we didn't vary our choices much, and very reasonably priced too. Hotel arranged airport pickup/drop off as well as taxis to cricket ground when we left it too late to walk (from memory you need about 45 mins to walk to ground, about an hour to walk back up the hill). Abhishek also provided me with very useful, and first-hand, advice about doing the Triund walk and arranged for a taxi to take me to the start point and pick me up on my return. The Skyway cable car lower station, for trip up to MacLeod-Ganj is only about 10-15 mins walk away.

The hosts, Abhishek and Pooja, were truly amazing and made our stay at the Panda unforgettable. They were welcoming, easy to talk to and very happy to help with any requests we had (such as taxi bookings, local recommendations, food & drink etc). The view from the terrace is wonderful, overlooking a valley. The food and drink was of great quality and very reasonably priced. The terrace had a little area for a small game of cricket which was excellent fun (even though Abhishek bowled me out!).

The Panda is a very nice hotel, in a great position away from the main road, so it's quiet at night. The room we had was comfortable with a big bathroom. The staff are very welcoming and helpful with any requests. There is a large veranda where you can eat or drink, but be aware that it is open sided so chilly in the evening in March. We had two meals from their varied menu which were nice. Overall we had a great stay and send our thanks!

The hosts are great and they make you feel welcomed in their home. Bed was comfortable and we had hot water available in the washroom. Location was very convenient for us, especially as we arrived with the bus (its walkable distance from the main bus stop and we did not need to deal with getting a cab immediately upon arrival). All in all a great experience.

Wonderful location and outlook. Tucked away from traffic and noise with great views over the valley. A lovely, relaxing terrace area. Great breakfast and helpful staff.

Well priced and very nice peaceful hotel just off the main strip. Can highly recommend, very courteous and helpful owner. Great views from the terrace or room balcony.

What a great little place. It's down a long lane in Dharamshala, but looking out on beautiful scenery - it's like you're not really in the town at all. The rooms were large and clean - and the rooftop cafe/restaurant is a really great space. Very handy for the bus station.

This is a great place to stay. It is peaceful, clean and comfortable. It is close to shops and services in Dharamsala, just a ten minute walk away but it is far enough to be quiet and calm. (The cable car is 15 minutes walk away if you want to go to McLeodganj.) The hotel has a beautiful terrace with lots of plants and a great view down the valley. There is a range of meals available and the food is superb. The staff are very helpful and the host is friendly and has lots of information about things to do in the local area. He makes time for all his guests. I will definitely go back one day.
