The room was very good, offered a great view of... More

Located on the Mall with great view of Nanital Lake. Rooms set back from the main road, hence no road noise. Centrally-heated, which was a plus in February compared to other hotels nearby. The rooms are not big but comfortable with separate bathroom. Close to all amenities. More
