I make bookings only after seeing reviews on trip advisor. I read all positive, mixed and very few negative reviews of this property. I contacted the top 5 hotels on tripadvisor and only Chail Residency was the one to have actually shown interested towards taking the reservation. They gave me a good deal for which I was pretty delighted. After... More

We went to Chail on the 30th Dec and stayed on till 2nd Jan 13. The hotel is at an extremely good location- away from the hustle bustle but yet very close to the nature and the scenic beauty. It is at the most convenient and approachable distance to all the spots of Chail. I would certainly recommend this property... More

The best part about this hotel is its location; the rooms that open into the valley have fabulous views, and the hotel can be reached easily since it is located on the main road to Chail. Also, the hotel is located away from the town, therefore the surroundings aren't crowded. The rooms are large but desperately need renovating. The furniture... More

Given the kind of rating you see on this site, you would expect a magical place. Chail residency is definitely not a magical place. I stayed in this resort for two days in June 2012.
