Below are testimonials that our guests wrote for us before departing on their onward journey from Himalaya House or Annex Hotel.

I have loved my stay at the Annex!  The staff is warm, friendly and extremely accommodating.  The hike was breathtaking.  I would never stay anywhere else in Mcleod Ganj, and I hope my next trip is soon!

Thanks so much for a beautiful stay at the hotel (Annex).  Your generosity in making me feel at home was the best part!  Thanks for sharing of yourselves and your country.  The trek was fun time too - I wish it had been a clear day so we could have seen the mountains, but it was still awesome.  Part of our stay was really cold so perhaps have additional spare heaters for the rooms. Namaste.

Manager Note:  We do have heaters available for guests if they require they only need to ask for them and their is a daily charge. 

Very helpful email booking service, lots of information provided.  The best point is the owners are very friendly, attentive and helpful.  Clean room, quiet, central location and economical price.  I would definitely recommend the Annex and would return.  Rooftop restaurant perfect for breakfast and snacks with wonderful views.  Internet very fast and inexpensive.

All eight of us were very welcomed upon our arrival at the Annex Hotel.  We settled in to our rooms and ran up to the rooftop to take in the view, it was simply amazing!  The location is unbeatable....... just a short walk to the town as well as His Holiness (Dalai Lama) Temple.  Majeed and the rest of of the staff definitely helped us feel like we were at home.  They provided us extra blankets and room heaters as soon as we asked for them.  They served us delicious breakfasts each morning, on the rooftop, with an amazing view.  We highly recommend the Annex as a great place to get away from the  hustle and bustle.  We definitely will be back to stay in this lovely hotel called Annex.

After a night in another hotel we were looking for a comfortable place to stay.  We are happy and lucky we found the Annex Hotel which has clean comfortable and superb rooms.  We can only recommend this hotel to everybody we know.  It is important to have a nice and lovely place to relax.  We enjoy our holidays and now we feel totally relaxed and we also hope this place will stay as good as it is.  Thanks a lot! 

My wife and I arrived at Mcleodganj in the dark of early morning.  Everything including the hotels and guesthouses were locked up, and we were very fortunate that one of the hotel owner's of the Annex Hotel heard us walk by and came out to invite us in to see a room.  We ended up staying at the Annex Hotel.  Our 5 nights stay at this beautiful hotel was a big expercince.  Our suite had 2 balconies with fantastic views where you can view wonderful sunsets.  The suite had all the comforts we wanted comfortable bed, well furnished room with sofa chairs, writing desk, cable T.V. and refridgerator. The bathroom was very clean, marble floor, hot shower/tub which included a shower curtain (this is often missing in India)but the Annex has it all.  The whole suite was bright and clean.  We would highly recommend it to anyone who looking for comfortable accomodation at a reasonable price.

The Annex hotel has been incredibly helpful and friendly, my room was on the ground floor and superb.  Everything worked hot water, t.v. etc. The rooms are extremely clean and with your own balcony you can view the sun setting behind the mountains. The rooftop garden is also very pleasent with indoor and outdoor areas.  My biggest regret is I can not stay any longer, however I will be trying to plan my next visit.

Traveling as a single female in India, I am quite cautious.  I was extremely fortunate when the hotel of my choice was booked out and I then booked into the Annex Hotel.  After 5 nights I feel like I am leaving home again. Mr and Mr Hakeem have looked after my needs better than any othe hotel I have stayed in India so for.  I have had the best drivers booked for me, information given and space to do exactly what I wanted.  The rooms are neat, clean and well equipped and the food very good and safe.  As I leave this morning I am already thinking when I can come back and join one of their tours.  I would have no hessitation to recommend this family and the Annex Hotel.  Thanking you, Namaste, love and gratitude always.

Thank you for your wonderful stay in your hotel (Annex).  You have been wonderfully friendly, helpful and kind and have helped us make the most of our stay.  We are very much looking forward to our coming trip to Kashmir as recommended and organised so beautifully by you.  We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family and to stay again ourselves should we be lucky enough to return.  Thank you all for looking after to travel weary souls!

From the moment I arrived (Annex Hotel) cold, wet and hungry Hassan and his staff pulled out all stops in making me feel warm and safe.  The vibe here is of belonging to an extended family where Hassan and the guys show a genuine concern for everyone's happiness.  No request is too difficult plus they go out of their way to help solve one's enevitable problems that arise when travelling.  All this has meant that I can focus on my holiday plus enjoying myself.  Thanks heaps plus I would stay here again without hesitation.

I contacted Hassan, the wonderful hotel owner, by phone, having found his phone number on the Dalai Lama's website.  My daughter and I were coming to Mcleod Ganj for the Dalai Lama's teachings in March.  He was most accommodating by giving us his website and checking back with us before we came.  It has been unbelievably comfortable and pleasant here.  The accommodation is great, even more appreciated has been the kindness plus caring of Hassan plus his staff to meet our needs as foreigners visitng India.  I will recommend the Annex Hotel to anyone.  Thank you so very, very much for your wonderful hospitality.

I have been very delighted by the services provided at the Annex Hotel.  Hassan and his staff have created a warm environment where we felt very at home during our stay for the March teachings with His Holiness Dalai Lama.  My needs were well attended to; breakfasts were tasty and on time so we could get to the teachings.  I have also seen Hassan with other guests at the hotel going out of his way to make sure people's needs were accommodated to and also offering a very refreshing sence of protection to those travelling in India for the first time.  Thanks to all the staff at the Annex Hotel for making my stay memoriable, easy and convenient.

We had a great experience at the Annex Hotel.  My Mom and I found Hassan plus everyone helpful and kind and creating a family like environment.  Hassan also arranged a 2 day trek - very well organised and at an excellent rate.  We will be back. Thank you.

We have had a really comfortable warm stay (Annex Hotel).  It is a great location, close to everything and quiet.  Hassan has always been helpful in everything we ask for and it has made us want to come back for a longer stay in the future.
