I was disappointed with the room.It definitely needed a refurbishing since it looked old and tired. 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. The one place that I felt was 5 star was in the dinning room with the chef and the catering manager taking the accolade,overall a lovely place to stay at.

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. He came and talked to us.

Best location in nainital. 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.

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.

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
