Nainital is filled with restaurants and places to stay so making a decision is rather difficult. We looked up at some other reviews and froze upon Vikram Vintage inn, considering many hotels were already booked for the long weekend and it seemed like a good option.
Locate at Mallital, it is about 2 kms off Mall Road, so tucked away from the maddening rush which isn't a bad thing.
The added advantage being they have a couple of shuttle vehicles with free drops and pick ups to Mall road which is real useful.
The hotel itself is not very large, they have limited rooms and cottages, but very well maintained.
The rooms were very large and well laid out including good sofas and a table besides the comfortable beds with firm spring mattresses.
The bathroom was also spacious and our room had another little brick room sort of attached to the bathroom which was fully covered and i didn't understand its purpose really. Necessary toiletries were available in the room and hard dryer on request.
Other facilities in the hotel include indoor billiards table and carrom and an outdoor badminton court.
They do magic show and puppet show twice a week for kids and other days are free.
They have a bar which serves only beer and wine, so if you are planning on hard drinks, please carry your own.
The restaurant gave us plenty of opportunities to feast on some good food. The package we had included breakfast and dinner, and we had an evening of indulgence as well, so got lots of opportunities to sample the food during our stay.
Food is quite good, mainly north indian. Spread was not extraordinarily large but sufficient variety for all.
Enjoyed the pakodas, the nice rotis and homely sabzis. Good sandwiches too.
Lots of greenery in and around the hotel and a view of the verdant rolling hills was very pleasing to the eye.
Service levels are pretty good. staff is friendly and always willing to help you with a smile. Our stay felt rather homely. Unfortunately it was ruined by bad weather and heavy rains, so we couldn't really enjoy to the fullest, but nainital is due for another time..
The pricing is slightly on higher side otherwise it is definitely a good place to stay in Nainital.
Rating - 4/5
