Monaal was a pleasant stay. The staff was extremely courteous, served amazing homely food. Though the room is average but the kind of economical (2500-5000/ night during peak season and 50% off during off season) hotels that are present in chail this proved to be the best choice. It has an amazing view from the cottage roof. For a peaceful... More

Had a stay at monaal for around 3 days, it was amazing. The management is really helpfull and over caring, we enjoyed the food too. It's a place where you get peace of mind and relax for hours.

My friends suggested to go to Chail instead of Shimla. and we decided to stay in Chail. And I think we did the right thing. Chail is known as summer capital of erstwhile Patiala Riyasat. it overlooks Shimla, Solan and Kasauli. The hotel Monaal is situated on top of a hill. It is very well maintained property surronded by Tall... More

A very dated room which was dusty and musty with a hard bed. Someone had soiled the toilet, which was not a very nice welcoming present. There were no towels, toilet roll or soap. Lots of noise from the staff and their TV right outside our room. Poor service. There is no air-conditioning or fridge. The en-suite is very small,... More

Hotel Monaal has a view of green hills surrounding it, just waiting to be seen through it's large windows. I had planned for a holiday just to get away from the busy and noisy life of the city like Delhi for a short while and after visiting Chail, I think it was the perfect choice. I was told about hotel... More

One of the worst hotels one can come across. it is next to a landfill and there is always this stench inside the rooms. The room service is very poor with half the items in the menu not available. Our package included breakfast and dinner and we had to settle for what the hotel keepers wanted to offer us. The... More

We were a group of about 50 students on a college trip. Our agent suggested us to stay at Chail to avoid the crowds at Shimla and enjoy the mountains in peace. Monaal is actually on the hill slope. You need to climb down the stairs to enter it. The rooms are spacious with capacity to add more beds if... More

Chail is a small town with nothing much to do but this hotel is excellent though it is a small hotel with 10-15 rooms but hospitality and personal attention extended by staff and owner you can not even think of getting it in a 7 star resort. The staff and management get so much involved with you that they just... More
