    The non veg items in the dinner buffet were very limited and the price very high. While the breakfast was fantastic, other meals quality seemed average overall.

    Amazing hotel, exceptionally friendly staff and beautiful rooms. A very memorable stay.

    The jacuzzi in the female amenities room near the pool was not as clean and maintained as we can expect from this resort, also would have loved a family jacuzzi to spend time with family members

    Excellent location, breathtaking views, Amicable staff, Fantastic amenities, Mr Faizal in the multi-cuisine restaurant was very good and served us very well, we cere extremely happy with his service

    The Centre-stage of the paradise!

    There can be central heating in the corridors/passages too. The dinner buffet can have more variety, specially non-veg starters. The staff in the restaurant looked more stressed & transactional, both during dinner & breakfast buffet. At the sametime, the usher ladies had great & cheerful attitude. Can add one more check-in desk. Currently only 2 desks leading to longer waiting time esp during peak seasons.. Small fire-pot/fire place in the balcony can help utilise the balcony during snow season.

    Room upgrade to the one with balcony was a pleasant surprise & a very sweet gesture from the reservation desk team. Thanks a lot! There is a complementary hi-tea upto 5:30 pm, which is great again. Room sizes are good. Ample storage space for luggage/suitcases. Location is higher up compares to rest all properties. Makes it peaceful & exclusive. Really liked the live musical performances with sitar, santoor. And also the fireplace in the lobby. Temperature controlled swimming pool is luxurious with stunning backdrops!

    But the food was not as I expected... I ordered a mushroom burger it was expensive but was not up to the mark... The burger was around 1000RS... And also the swimming pool was not clean it was green in color & I was not able to swim... I felt bad about that...

    There was not much to select from when choosing what to eat, compared to the prices what the place charges the food is not lavish enough nor are there enough options. I feel the hotel should have a personal photographer on hire like other major hotels across the world, as it is located in a very beautiful scenic location.

    The hospitality staff exceeded my expectations, especially the servers, they were truly outstanding.

    Costs for extra bed is 10k which I thought was a bit crazy! Spa and sauna service is average given the price

    The swimming pool is exceptional and clearly the highlight of the property The F&B staff is extremely helpful and helped organise my friend’s bachelorette for me. The dinner and breakfast were excellent too! Location is perfect - accessible yet private and offers great views

    After 3 nights, we had to leave and head back home

    Khyber is an exceptional mountain gem. From the hospitality to the food to the ambience, a rare mix of perfection and the staff - at par with the best (Oberoi's for me). The heated swimming pool with an all glass facade makes the place even more magical ! And we got the season's first snowfall on our first night :) Setting standards for Indian hospitality
