The property sits high on the mountain, offering beautiful views. The staff were exceptional: friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff were very willing to address my dietary restrictions and provide some incredible food. I also used the spa, and it was a perfect way to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. The hotel provides courtesy shuttles down to the market, which is greatly appreciated. They also have a daily high tea which I highly recommend. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend this hotel if you are planning to visit Nainital. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f0baaff5-b902-4707-81b0-d9aee23f4766-1753625358240.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### alexandria Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alan Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The staff is not proficiently trained to work in a hotel. They lack simple professionalism and knowledge of English . They were however very polite and nice. The WiFi does not work. The water in the shower was cold. The free shuttle is there but the men outside were just acting unprofessionally . The building is beautiful, great views of the lake but it’s difficult to get here. You’ll need a driver that’s experienced in hilly terrain driving. The breakfast is great. The chef was amazing.

The bathroom was particularly disappointing with a great deal of work to bring it to the star rating. The spa too could do with a facelift.

This hotel is a palace which has been renovated as a hotel. You get a very nice view of naini lake and the surroundings. And their breakfast buffet is also amazing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Brajesh Jun 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Naini Retreat has a cozy exclusivity with great food options. Worth stay with family. The only issue is the hiking required to & fro from hotel. Difficult for elderly ##### Brajesh Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Prices are higher as compared to there services & foods ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really great location and view; helpful and accommodating staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Mar 25, 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Too much overpriced, and over hyped.They don't deserve, what they claim. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Priyo Mar 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It is one of the oldest hotels in Nainital. It is a really pretty property but I would recommend staying only in the old wing. ##### Priyo Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BRUCE Nov 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Hotel I am a 72-year-old American male who visited India solo. I spent five nights at the Naini Retreat. This is a first class hotel-the room with a balcony view was outstanding and the breakfast meal, which was included in my room cost, was wonderful. The lake is a 10 minute walk away down a steep hill; the hotel offers courtesy car services if requested. The staff went the extra mile to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend this hotel - Really glad I stayed there ##### BRUCE Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic stay.

It has no lifts. There are too many internal and external stairs in the building which made it difficult to get around. My mother fell one time and hurt her knee. I had to help her when we wanted to go for meals or outside. In total there were 4 different staircases to access our room. The room was in the annexe building and was damp. The bedding was damp and even the clothing in the suitcase became damp. We were so disappointed as we had expected some sort of view but the window in the room had frosted glass. The room was also very dark and even with all the lights on it was pretty dark. There was no hot water and the ac did not work. The hotel did not provide any information at check in such as that they had a complimentary taxi or afternoon tea. We asked a staff member about going to the town who pointed to some steep steps to reach the town. Also at check out they could have mentioned that due to rain our flight may be cancelled. We could instead have taken a taxi from the hotel back to Delhi. ##### Midhath Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### vipan kumar Jul 9, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I would never ever consider staying in this property again and recommend the same to others travelling to Nainital . This heritage property does afford very scenic view but is poorly maintained. I stayed at Naini Retreat from 26th to 28th Jun for two nights, booking a family suite for 04 guests. I was charged Rs. 50,121 i.e Approx. USD 725 and paid Rs.32,532 upfront on hotels.com(balance of Rs. 17589.00 adjusted from my accumulated one free night). Most horrific part being that I was not even provided the accommodation as shown in the hotels.com site.Is it a case of cheating ? Money spent having gone down the drain.Much as I would like to forget this experience, I am still writing this for benefit of others. ##### vipan kumar Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family trip Overall a good property located at a height having a good view, greenary & flowers around. Word of advise: Park your car in the Nainital Parking Area & ask for a pick-up from the hotel as it’s at quite good height & it’s risky to drive. For youngsters, this could be one of the best properties to stay but for elders, you need to think as there is good amount of walk applicable on stairs & overall. Overall stay was very nice & enjoyable. At evening, there is arrangement of LIVE music & borne fire with-in the resort so lively atmosphere is created for vacation. Location is nice. Food is good. Overall ambience is quite nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellant location with good views.
