A good hotel with very good view and good staff and service, The location and the view of the Hotel is excellent, the lobby is small but very decorative. The main market near stadium is a walking distance of 2 minutes. The staffs are very polite and very friendly.

Very good hotel. If u r planning to visit Nanital, i advise you to stay at Alka. From balcony view of Nani Lake is superb :) :). It's on mall road so market is in ur reach. Room r pretty good and services are also.

I visited Nainital on 23-24 March 13 and stayed in Hotel Alka. Hotel entrance and overall appearance was very good. I took Lux room named Bamboo house on 1st floor. Lake view from room was very good. Hotel doesn't have car parking, so I have to park in in common parking far away from hotel. Early morning my son was... More

I would have liked to stay in this property if the reception was a little more warm and friendly when I walked in to inquire about a room. They are known as the best hotel on the mall and that has made them very arrogant towards their guests. They neither have parking facility nor lake facing rooms. So how can... More

Pathetic is the word i can use to describe this hotel, the staff and the overall experience. I had checked the reviews on tripadvisor and booked an economy room in this hotel for three nights starting 23rd March 2013. The room was full of dirt and filth. I decided to upgrade to a suite by paying more but all my... More

We stayed at the alka hotel during a big snow storm. Alka was the only hotel in this price range who had hot water,electricity and central heating during the storm. So for us the price was worth it, but otherwise it's overpriced. We had roaches in our room at the first night, even though it was one of the pricier... More

the good part : Great location by the lake, plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from (try machan for chinese food or nanak restaurant for the indian veg food), shopping options on the mall road and a great view from the rooms. The service is decent and the upkeep is okay (The mall road does not have any luxury hotels... More
