Anthony-, Australia

We came back from 3 weeks of trekking and we were delighted to find such a peaceful and clean place. The room was small but very comfy. Everything was super clean. Wifi was good. Service was more than excellent! And the food... wow! We ended up having all our meals there.

hotel shambala was excellent, I enjoyed everything about the hotel. Great breakfast selection and juices. Lovely and welcoming staff. Cloud nine restaurant had a vast dinner menu and it was all very yummy. Once they knew it was my birthday, they really went out of their way to make it a great and special occasion. I cannot fault this hotel.
