Hotels near Mukteshwar Mahadev Temple, Nainital

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!

*review for clark’s exotica resort, ramgarh, uttarakhand* i recently had the pleasure of staying at clark’s exotica resort in ramgarh, uttarakhand, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and felt immediately at home, thanks to our incredible host, shivani. The resort itself is stunningly located, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The serene and picturesque setting provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, ensuring a restful stay. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the food. Each meal was a culinary delight, with a diverse range of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. The attention to detail and quality of the ingredients made every dining experience memorable. The hospitality at clark’s exotica resort was beyond compare. Shivani, our host, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel like we were staying with family, adding a personal touch that truly enhanced our stay. In terms of value for money, clark’s exotica resort exceeded our expectations. The high level of service, combined with the beautiful location and outstanding amenities, made it worth every penny. I wholeheartedly recommend clark’s exotica resort to anyone planning a trip to uttarakhand. It was an unforgettable experience, and i can’t wait to return. Absolutely the best!

As a solo traveller, I found the property and host very safe and supportive. My stay was for about a week - I visited nearby temples like Ghorakhal mandir and Kainchi Dham, lovely cafes and exotic offbeat places nearby Nainital with the cab facility provided by the hosts. Coming to the amenities, everything was well versed in my room. The rooms are large and spacious with attached washroom and balcony. I especially loved the hygiene and cleanliness, which Im very particular about as a female. The food was also homely and delicious and didnt feel like hotelish at all. Overall, my stay was worth the price and Im super satisfied. Would definitely come again and recommend the place to all. Ps: This is a photo taken from my room window at the time of snowfall :)

The stay, restaurant Service, food and the views are excellent. The Service of Mr Lalit and Mr Manoj Bisht were extra good . Suggest to have more spread in Breakfast and Dinner options. There should be options for room upgrade in the Premier rooms. The local authentic food e.g. Pahari Shikaar were exceptionally nice.

We stayed at hotel for 3 nights and our experience was very good. Cleanliness was up to the mark and staff was very polite and attentive. It is near to lake but excess to hotel without vehicle is not easy for elderly tourist for youngsters and people who can walk, i recommend to opt for this hotel.

Our experience at hotel himalaya was mixed. While the location is great and it offers convenient parking, the staff were not as welcoming or polite as expected, which left a less-than-ideal impression. The rooms were decent and provided the basics for a comfortable stay. We didn’t try the food at the hotel since there are plenty of dining options nearby. Overall, it’s an average stay, but the service could be improved.
