IN A REMOTE PLACE THE FACILITIES WERE EXCEPTIONAL
ALL GOOD
The location is not very apt as shown in the pictures, there is no view from most of the rooms. The cook in the property is not trained there is so scope of improvement in that area.
Pet friendly place including the cafe. Charming and cozy cafe that begs you to slow down and enjoy the moments.
Could not get the breakfast since they said kitchen staff comes not before 9:30 am. Obviously I could not wait since I had to check out and move to next destination. Very slow food service in their cafe. Min 40 mins for anything you order. No water given in the room when we checked in. These little misses add up and lead to disappointment. Checking out was a big headache. Took them 40 mins to give me the bill amount and I kept waiting standing outside. Serious lack of professional service.
Had a wonderful time at Hiraeth, Shantanu was very helpful and friendly. Overall enjoyed the stay.
Too expensive for the prize. There was not even a bottle of water provided. Food was ok with little salt. The location was good but needs to develop more infrastructure. The cafe was excellent. The owner shantanu was very helpful. Clearly he would provide lots of information.
The host and the staff
Everything about the place. The host, the place, the vibe. Highly recommended!
Nothing.
The place was aesthetically amazing. Every item was given thought.
It’s a beautiful Homestay with the most picturesque view ever! Shreya and Shantanu, our hosts left no stone unturned to make sure we had the best experience possible. The cherry on the cake was Waffle, their dog who would make your heart melt with one look! The homely vibe of the place is what makes this even more special! You would find a lot of beautiful places to stay but to get a beautiful place alongside 3 beautiful hosts is what makes Hiraeth absolutely a gem!!!
Location
Cleanliness and facilities. Stinky smell in washrooms continuously
Breakfast was nice ...
The property was well situated and well maintained, lovely views. The rooms had a cosy feel
The food was a little on the expensive side, portion size was not justified by the costs
Was lovely to spend two days with Shantanu, Shreya and their gorgeous pup Waffle. Shreya and the kitchen team provided hearty meals (and a lot of masala chai) to help us stay warm. The corriander chicken deserves a special mention. The rooms very tastefully designed with attention to even the smallest details. Would recommend to those looking for a quiet getaway
The hosts, Mr and Mrs. Sharma took great care of us. Walked us to though the facilities and asked for our preferences of food. They were present to handle any potential concerns. The property was clean and professionally maintained. The views from the property were amazing.
Nothing to dislike
The Hiraeth surpassed our expectations, The ambience was a perfect balance of cozy and chic, creating a relaxing atmosphere to unwind and just relax. The staff were attentive, ensuring our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. We can't wait to return for another trip possibly when it snows for a serene ambiance. The Hiraeth's pet-friendly policy made our stay incredibly comfortable, allowing us to fully enjoy our time with our beloved dog by our side. The warm welcome extended to our furry friend made us feel right at home throughout our stay.
I don't think there is anything specific to this point here but if owners can do anything about the last 500m from the main road to the property that would be great . For a car the trails created sometimes made it difficult to maneuver because of the low ground clearance. But again this is not something which we can blame the Hiraeth .
Hiraeth can boast about being at the perfect spot in Shangarh. It is nested at the heart of the town with a perfect view of the meadows, along with a 360 degree view of the area. Shantanu and Shreya have invested heavily in designing the place with the traditional Himachli touch while providing for all amenities. Perfect if one plans to work remotely; good internet connectivity. As a matter of fact, folks from the nearby Zostel and other hotels usually drop in to chill/work at Hiraeth's cafe; excellent vibe and food! Shantanu, is well versed with the area and is really helpful. Great guy to have a drink with. I highly recommend the place. Cheers!
I recently stayed at this hotel, and I must say, the location couldn't have been better! Shantanu, the owner of the hotel, was incredibly helpful and supportive. It's great when someone goes the extra mile to ensure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Their assistance made our stay safe and stress-free.I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and comfortable experience. Thanks to the warm and friendly atmosphere at the hotel, I made some wonderful friends during my stay. The memories of this trip and this place will stay with me forever.
One of the most beautiful stays amidst the mountains,the hosts Shantanu and Shreya were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home.The interior design was sleek with keeping in mind the traditional Himachali touch. Perfect location, perfect service, and perfect facilities.
