We had an incredible experience staying at Green Hill Resort. It is truly world class but not very expensive. It is just perfect for vacationers who want a quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff is well trained and efficient.

We stayed 3 nights at Green Hill Resort before traveling to Ravangla. The hotel offered us more than we could ask for, modern amenities, 24×7 water, excellent food, and above, amiable behavior. Nice place to relax and rest before our long journey. Great for families!
