We booked the room online on HPTDC's website after consulting the hotel since we wanted a room with a good view. On their suggestion we booked the deluxe room which indeed had a great view. We drove from Delhi and reach the hotel at 10:30 am and since our room had not been vacated, we decided to relax at the... More

We stayed two nights with our 8 year old daughter. Even before we went up, I was impressed by the very smooth on-line reservation system, which gives real-time availability for each category of rooms in each HPTDC property. The Pinewood staff also responded promptly on email and telephone to inquiries about the facilities. When we arrived we were given a... More

While returning from Thanedar, we dropped in The Pinewood for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the service and the view this place offers. We were served within no time. The meal was good and Roasted chicken with boiled vegetable was really good and tasty. However, we were not able to enjoy the ice cream as it was served soft.... More

Barog was not on our original travel plan. We went to HPTDC Delhi trying to book Hotel Ros Commons (Kasauli) for an extended weekend. Since it was not available and we had a car anyway, they asked us to take up Barog and drive over to Kasauli (just 28 kms by road). After booking, I started reading up on Barog... More

We halted here enroute Chandigarh for lunch. It was very cold as it had been raining all day. The place was warm, they got us a heater while we had our lunch. The food was amazing as well. Great service.

It has become our favorite destination during high heat summers. Just an hours' drive away from the Chandigarh on the Chandigarh-Shimla Highway. This is very very peaceful hotel. It has become even more peaceful place to relax, as another Bye-pass road has been constructed, thus reducing the rush on the road on which it is located. It has got 3-4... More

This hotel has an amazing location overlooking the Barog hills and the very small, beautifully built Scottish styled Railway station (no exactly visible but is at 3kms). The surrounding are quite and you have nothing but the unspoilt nature to enjoy. I had booked a bridal suite which was expensive than the regular deluxe rooms however much to my dismay... More

Similar to other HPTDC hotels, the staff here is again so unquick. The location is no doubt quite good considering the proximity to Delhi/Chandigarh thereby reducing the drive time so much. Locale is quite peaceful and you can relax a lot but service rates low for me as compared to other private hotels. Nonetheless, given the price, it doesn't hurt... More

I have been coming to this place ever since Pinewood Hotel was set up. A place I love truly. Perched at a height of 1730 meters, this Hotel commands a glorious view of mountains in front. Weather is fabulous throughout the year. There is a nice little garden at the lower level where you can sit and order your snacks... More
