The staffs are so courteous, for my case, I missed to take the booking voucher and it was required and just called the person over reception.... More

This property is a Villa of colonial period, now turned in to a guest-house by KMVN, a government agency. The property and staff is Govt controlled, and completely secured. I was there with my family, along with a friend & his family. For us it was a fairy tail stay. The rope-way is free like a lift (elevator in a... More

Must Try Chicken Jindrani 3) Overall feel 4) Manager of... More

This is a very old place, steeped in history. We stayed there for a night (stayed the rest of the vacation in Mallital) and had a pleasant time with the family. You get fabulous views of the Naini lake and the football matches (or was it hockey :-) that happen not far from there). The fact that the ropeway lands... More

The hotel looks OK, the staff does what they have to do, but that is about it. The beds sheets and pillow covers were not very clean, but all of that is good, the only thing that would not make me recommend this hotel is the other guests, they are totally disrespectful, kept their doors open with the TV on...

The hotel is well maintained, good staff, the view point of the snow peaked Himalayan range is just nearby. The downsides are average food, very bad location (it is like concrete jungle outside with the cable cart station just at the gate of the hotel), the area remains crowded because of the cable cart station and a so called children's...
