Canyon Matka Hotel

This hotel is located in an excellent location, right in the canyon. Our room was nice and really cozy. The staff was friendly and available; they can provide you with any kind of information on possible activities in the canyon. You can have breakfast in the restaurant, which allows excellent views on the canyon.

Matka Canyon nice view and near the capital, but better to visit during summer rather than crazy idea - hopping on the boat in the end of December which I tried (Dont be like me). After half an hour on boat, I started to shiver and fortunately that the boat is back to the entrance. I immediately rush to the restaurant and grab a hot chocolate. They even gave us some complimentary biscuits to enjoy with the drink. Price is considerable for a tourist destination.

Avoid like the plague, read the Google reviews, these guys don't care about customer service one bit they only care about profit. They overcharge for everything and care nothing about customer satisfaction.

This hotel has a great location for exploring the gorge. We spent the night here and really enjoyed it. It is about a 500m walk (with all your luggage) along a scenic pathway into the hotel from the free parking area. There is plenty of space in the parking lot in the late afternoon and evening, but during the day you won’t be able to get anywhere near it! Our room was fairly small and basic with a couple of opening windows with some pleasant views out onto the lake – nothing to rave about, but nice enough. There was no AC but a fan was provided and kept us cool in the night. There was a bit of noise in the evening/night due to a few guys hanging out in the garden and restaurant drinking, but nothing too bad. The lakeside restaurant has a beautiful setting and the food was decent as well, but a bit overpriced. The restaurant is super busy in the day with all the day-trippers, but very quiet in the evenings. The free breakfast was good, but the 9AM start time was way too late!! We actually went out on an 8km hike up into the mountains and arrived back still having to wait for the restaurant to open at 9am. Overall we had a good stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other travelers.

Restaurant manager was an absolute tool. Requested the pasta and salmon and asked if they can add truffle to the pasta (there is a truffle pasta dish or a pasta dish (no truffle) with salmon). I told the waitress I would pay extra for truffle shavings on my pasta with salmon. I was brought truffle pasta with no salmon. After my tour guide spoke with the manager I walked over and stated, "nevermind, you can keep the truffle pasta, I no longer want anything since this is an issue." Manager stated truffle is more money and i ordered it so I must pay for it..... He tried to stare me down and I laughed and tilted my head and stared back and said, "ok, we are done here, I'm 100% not paying for it - remove it from my bill." Maybe hire adults as managers - they threw out the pasta instead of adding an upcharge for truffle shavings. Lol. Tool.

Essen teuer und ohne Geschmack, die Trüffelnudeln haben nach nichts geschmeckt. Die Location ist top mit tollem Ausblick von der Terrasse, der Service ist okay. Wenn es nicht aus Strömen geregnet hätte, wären wir nicht reingegangen.
