I had a mix feelings about the Hotel This was my family trip and I selected this hotel. There are advantages and disadvantages about this hotel.
Location: This hotel gives a very good view of the naini lake if you select lake facing room ( Room 19 - Suit ). Hotel only provides the pickup facility from 8AM to 8PM Mallital Bada bazar . If requested drop is also provided. Its very close to Zoo Pickup point , Rope way and Naini lake Boat club. Walking is 5-10 mins. Getting to this hotel by Old age might be bit trouble as it requires steep climb.

Rooms are not as shown in pictures not as per those standards however still good. All the rooms are differently Decorated. The one thing which makes this hotel to choose again is the Service of the staff ( Other than Managers ) and Very humble Co-operative behaviour of Propety Owner Mr A.P Singh. Managers : Mr Zafar goes by the rules which normally does not work in hospitality industry , very little flexible. Mr Mohan is very flexible and Co-operative.
This hotel gives you the feel of you home away from home. Toilets and carpets are not at par with the 3/4 star standard hotel in Metros So do not go by the Pictures.

Break fast is not at all upto the mark.Quality of the breakfast needs to be really improved. I hope no one would like it. Other time Food is Good in the hotel ( we had dinner ).

We got to know about the hotel from the welcomheritage site, assuming that there would be some level of quality. However, the whole experience was a disaster. The rooms were dirty, with zero maintenance. Considering its a heritage property, the quality of the rooms etc were appalling. Shocking ITC is part of this venture as we assumed a certain level of quality before deciding on staying in this hotel.

Tried the food in the hotel once and it took almost an hour for the starters to be served. Even when they were served we couldnt have more than an bit because the food was so bad. even the complimentary breakfast was a farce.

Even though the hotel is 5 min walk to the Mall road, the passage to the hotel is so steep that you have to think twice to walk down to the hotel. Thankfully there was a pick and drop facility which was not available when my parents wanted to go to the mall road on the first day.

Overall a very bad experience of staying in Palace belevedere and would never recommend anyone to stay in the hotel.

It is a nice palace converted into a hotel having huge rooms and great ambience. The staff is great, always ensuring that you are comfortable and very caring. Food is delicious and overall its a great place to stay and enjoy. The only draw back is that you can't sleep peacefully due to the prayers being offered early morning at near by mosque & temple.

Staying in the hotel for two nights was a great diffrent experience with a breathtaking view of the lake!!!!The road up to the hotel is one place where u have to be very careful.its terribly narrow and steeep.!!!
The positives:
Beutiful view right next to the lake sorrounded by hills on either side!!!
The service by the hotell staff is very good and caring right from the time of arrival!
The rooms are very good,spaciious with a balcony!!!
make sure u carry a lot of warm clothes ,and the geezer is working in the room!!


Ther are very few negatives in this this hotel!!:
The breakfast timings are very poor and slow and if u have early morning plans than watch out!!!!!!The variety in the food is very poor in all the threee courses of the day!!! But it has very good quality!!
The buffet charges which are set are pathetic (wopping 425rupees) for 6 items!!!! I really think they dont know how to set the prices!!Even Top hotels like Novotel and ellas suites have similar charges but with huge quantity and variety and Quality!!!

But I think this charge only applies for families which haven't opted for packages!!!

Overall its a great experience and a happy stay at PALACE BELVEDERE,NAINITAL!!
