Great room, serene view and service especially from staff at dining/breakfast hall. However the wifi is unreliable perhaps due to the signal at such high altitude. But I was disappointed that my wifi was deactivsted on the last day before I checked out.

Had a wonderful 3 day stay at Carlton, people are warm and the hospitality is amazing, the staff took good care of us and of all our needs. Specially enjoyed the activities in the evening hosted by Mr Anand, playing housie and watching a magic show by the bon fire was the highlight of our stay here! The rooms are spacious, not to mention the lake view! Spectacular scenery, very calming and pleasant. Would love to visit again.

Clouds shrouded the city but the Carlton provided a lovely solace. The staff were cordial and helpful. While I didn't opt to eat in for all meals, the breakfast selection was good. The events at the hotel were nice, Mr. Anant was a lovely host. Would recommend.
