Not a bad hotel to stay and enjoy. It is situated in a noisy and crowded area but it is near to the bus stand and places of tourist interest. They have properly maintained cleanliness in the hotel as well as in the rooms. No doubt the room quality is good and comfortable. Great ambiance has been created in the... More

We had gone during the summer(may), but the weather in Nainital was really good, cold, also raining (at times). The hotel rooms are lake facing rooms, really cool atmosphere in the evenings, you should have tea at the balcony of the hotel room and enjoy it while seeing the scenic location of the Naini Lake. But you need to have... More

The hotel manager is with lot of attitude but then we wanted rooms asap as we were traveling with kids and needed rooms for one night. The rooms were quite big with lake facing balconies.... More

Good and bad: Well maintained accommodation but bathrooms can have more accessories like toilet paper, soap container etc, sometimes you can see lake worms roaming around possibly due to Naini Lake and hills,good view but location slightly inconvenient as on the other end of market on Talital resulting in long walk, very noisy due to traffic, No lift/Escalator and hence...

Good property and probably the best view in Nainital.....but the staff is not as courteous or helpful as one should expect for a hotel like elphinstone. The rooms are spacious and the lawns outside rooms invite you to enjoy nainital's beautiful landscape. On value for money i would rate it 3 in 5 More
