Staff is very helpful. Rooms are very nice. The food at the dinner buffet and breakfast is brilliant. They also offer a free drop off and pick up service to the mall road which makes things very accessible.Definitely worth a visit.

The Naini Retreat has cozy rooms, a good spread of buffet, prompt service, indoor game room and outdoor live music entertainment, and proximity to the lake. It is set in the backdrop of the mountain and lake and has a beautiful landscaping. We missed utilizing other facilities. It was a worthwhile trip. Recommended resort.

We reached Nainital on the night of 1st May 2013 from Mumbai via Delhi. We were greeted with a chill breeze the moment we stepped the gate of Naini Retreat. Shivered down through some steep steps to reach the reception area which was lit with beautiful earthen lamps and brass pots from where we were guided to our room. The... More

We booked our stay at the Naini Retreat through Umesh @ Leisure Hotels and arrived at Nainital on 27th April. The view from Naini is great, especially from the garden facing rooms (we were thankfully upgraded to a garden facing room from a deluxe room). Breakfast in the garden amidst greenery and cool morning breeze overlooking mountains and the lake... More

Amazing views. Comfortable rooms. Spa treatments. Courtesy car down to the mall or an easy walk. Only slight disappointment was that they advertised a gym which wasn't open yet. Lots of different room types to suit different needs. Would recommend!

When we reached the hotel, at around 9 o clock in the night, through the steep winding tracks... the view of the hill station that hit us as we got off the vehicle was nothing less than breathtaking. It was so gorgeous that it kinda made the whole trip for us. And the lovely garden view rooms with the back... More
