"We had a pleasant stay at Himalaya Hotel, Nainital. The deluxe room offered an amazing lake view, and the food was delicious. The staff was courteous, friendly, and always ready to help. A special thanks to Pankaj Joshi and Sunil Kumar for assisting us with our luggage during both pickup and drop. The dining staff was also well-behaved and suggested some great nearby places to visit. The only area for improvement would be the room cleanliness, as we noticed a few cobwebs. Overall, it was a good experience, and the excellent hospitality made our stay enjoyable."

"Property location is really nice with good views, food was good. Room needs bit of furnishing, as there were no wardrobes.. Slightly over priced compared to the amenities in the room. Hospitality was better when this hotel was called Manu Maharani, this time felt like corporate vibe with less personal touch.. More like money and profits.. Thanks"
