Hotels near Explore Ranikhet - Ranikhet Hill Station, Almora

Not a resort as claimed. Small property and away from ranikhet. Poor cleanliness. Very few options in breakfast and food quality average. However room offers good valley view. When search on mm t for ranikhet hotels this property is shown at no. 1 and 4. 5 rating but not worth that.

To start with, the location is awesome. One does not have to go to any other sun rise/set point if you are staying in this resort. There is a special view point for these times of the day. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are very polite and courteous. Room Services are quick. GM Mr. Sanjeev is very friendly and helpful person. We were two families with kids for a vacation and the time we spent was awesome. There are open and big spaces for kids enjoyment and all in closed perimeter. Parking space for cars which is necessary in hill area. Food is delicious, enjoyed vegetarian as well as non vegetarian foods. All sites are within 5 km range. Overall best place to stay in Mukteshwar.

I just visited a week back(14 Dec 2023) with my wife and kid and it was a overall perfect stay. We booked directly from Hotel after checking online and we got the best deal. Resort Manager Jainendra is an awesome Host alongwith his courteous staff (Deepak and Hemant) who were always ready to welcome you. His way of communication is quite impressive. He also provided a complimntery Cake from his side on occassion of Birthday Cleanliness: The overall cleanliness of rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and facilities was quite good and hygenic. Bathroom was clean with 24x7 hot water supply. Room Quality: Beds were quite good in size and comfortable. Service: Service was quite quick and prompt. We were alone on first day still they gave all option already prepared for breakfast. Food and Dining: Food Taste was awesome, quality and quantity was quite good as compared to other hotel/resorts where i stayed Atmosphere/Ambiance: Great views of snow covered mountains from room. Internet/Wi-Fi: Available but not so good bandwidth due to mountains. Parking: Good amount of parking. There is playful dog residing in propery - COCO I will plan again for this property with my family and friends with a big group. Frankly saying i did not find anything for a improvisation....Highly recommed for Booking.

Neat a clean resort in the lap of nature. We visited there when it had just snowed and the view from hotel was mesmerizing. Clean , maintained rooms ,Nice lawn are the USP of the resort. Waterfall trek is very near but main mukteshwar is a bit far. Good for people who want to relax with scenic view as it's away from hustle and bustle of crowded hill stations.

I am typically wary of flowery coverage of Hotels that are featured in Travel magazines, as they are more driven and fueled by the special treatments that the authors got, leading them to celebrate the hotel more than it deserves to be. This was one such case! Both Outlook traveller and Travel + Leisure had celebrated this way more than it deserves. But still it had its highlights. I would have given 3 stars, but raising it upto 4 stars only because of the lovely setting, the sweet and hardworking staff, and the quality of Food etc. Frankly speaking, I am not a big fan of the label ‘Hidden gem’. But this boutique beauty - that is stunningly situated on a clifftop against a striking backdrop of hills and terrace fields - certainly deserves that title! You can get treated to panoramic views of the Kumaon Hills leading to the magnificent Himalayas right from your Balcony! Unfortunately, during our stay the weather fairy wasn't on our side. The imposing peaks of Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, Panchachuli, Trishul were teasingly playing Peekaboo with us all day long - just like Mt Fuji did with us in Japan, or Mt.Rainier used to do in Seattle! Nonetheless, the views were still stunning enough and this was one of the closest encounters with the hills we had been blessed with in the recent past! LOCATION: Stunning location on a Clifftop and just 80 minutes drive from Bhimtal. DINE + DRINK: They dont have a BAR as advertised, and the restaurant could certainly be better decorated or setup. HOwever the food was to die for! THe Chef whipped up some wicked meals for us. The Kumaoni Thali in the night got us high on food. And the breakfast was divine - Piping hot Masala Maggi and Puffed up Pooris under the winter sun accompanied by flavorful Masala Chai!! ROOM: We stayed in 306, so this review is based on that; VIEW: Spectacular views of the Kumaon Hills and Himalayas ; SIZE: Very spacious room; AIR-CON: No A/C as the nature did a great job of setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part to put me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand in shower; TOILETRIES: OK Justa cosmetics. Bring your own FACILITIES: No Gym on site. And the Pool was closed due to Covid. So DONT BELIEVE THE GLAMOROUS pics you see on these travel magazines and expect a fun time in the Pool. They do have a Spa on site though, though the quality and experience of the staff looked questionable SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all my needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout out to DILIP KUMAR, DINESH, and GAJENDAR at the restaurant. And RAMESH who attended to our special requests. They can surely do better with the FRONT OFFICE staff who certainly needed a lot of training and coaching! HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Wifi, but VERY POOR CONNECTIVITY and severe issues and be warned that if you plan to do some work stuff or call, it will be a NIGHTMARE!
