What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 187 guest reviews
Desolation Hotel Hope Valley earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean cabins with luxury linens and high-end amenities in a quiet, scenic setting. Minor friction points include the absence of air conditioning and refrigerators in some units, a self-managed sauna that can underdeliver, and limited parking. Overall, guests leave highly satisfied and eager to return.
