Interestingly, I never knew about this hotel until our party of four spotted the numerous signboards painted on the hills during the uphill drive to Almora from Nainital. We were sour from our hotel stay experience at Nainital (having settled for a cheap place). It was almost new year, and the rates at Nainital were through the roof! Not much... More

Rooms are nothing special, though it has a nice view. But then, almost every hotel in Almora has a nice view. Fairly comfortable, fairly clean. It's centrally located just off a busy road, which I don't like at all, though it's convenient in some ways. The restaurant isn't particularly good, though in that part of town it's one of the...

They never responded in time to our needs. The receptionist (male) & the manager of the hotel are also not cooperative at all on the contrary they behaved badly... More

I had stayed with this hotel once in April 2009 and had generally okay experience. It's location is what drew me to it the second time. While my stay at the hotel was just okay, I experience shot the second time, right from the reception, to the malfunctioning geyser , to the under-repair lift. I had to climb up and... More

Our room at the Shikhar was unusually spacious, and even had a corridor with shelves and cubbies for luggage storage. There was a sizeable balcony, with a wonderful view of the valley and the sunsets. There was a good shower and abundance of hot water (always a happy surprise in Indian hotels). The room looked reasonable clean, but it was... More

The room had a clean toilet, ante room, double bed, 3 seater sofa, TV, Intercom and a common balcony. The staff was helpful and neat. Car parking is an issue... More
