    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers a beautiful view of Naini Lake and is praised for its friendly and helpful staff, particularly Mr. Priyanshu, who goes out of his way to assist guests. The food is often highlighted as tasty and reasonably priced, making it a reasonable choice for families. However, guests frequently mention the steep climb to reach the property, which can be challenging for older individuals or those with mobility issues, and some rooms lack proper cleanliness and basic amenities.

    worst stay ever

    mahipal c.couple

    The staff is not well trained and don’t know how to talk to guest, during my stay we had to checkout around 6AM and there was no water for shower or for that matter to wash your tashrif, also called the reception and also called other guys, but they replied no one will wake this up early so deal with the water problem yourself, now if you book this property, be prepared to have same experience.

    Poor Stay

    sanchit.group

    मैने ऑनलाइन बुक किया तो स्टाफ ने कॉपरेट नहीं किया मेरे स्टे में। वो हर चीज में एक्स्ट्रा चार्ज करने लगे। प्रोमिश्ड फैसिलिटी भी नहीं प्रोवाइड की। होटल स्टाफ ने क्लीनिंग के लिए एक्स्ट्रा कैश चार्ज कर दिया। खाना - एवरेज था, लेकिन पीजी फैसिलिटी की तरह टाइम बाउंडेशन थी । 10pm onwards होटल कुछ भी खाने को ना प्रोवाइड करता है, ना कही से अरेंज। होटल लोकेशन ऐसी है कि आप कही जाने का नहीं सोच सकते, क्योंकि लोकेशन गली के अंदर खड़ी चढ़ाई में है। होटल से आना जाना कही भी convinient नहीं है। ओवरऑल stressed stay था। होटल से सिर्फ व्यू अच्छा था शहर का इसलिए (2)poor rate kar rha.. otherwise experience terrible tha. Hotel staff ने बोनफायर के लिए भी मना कर दिया। Overpriced property. Facility, staff, and location is terrible. I regret the stay there.

    Dear Mr. Agrahari, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We always welcome constructive criticism as it helps us improve, but we are quite surprised by many of the claims made in your review, which do not align with our standard practices or the experience of other guests. We would like to address a few points: Staff Behavior & Charges: Our team is trained to be courteous and transparent. We do not charge extra for basic services like room cleaning unless additional services are specifically requested. If any misunderstanding occurred during your stay, we sincerely apologize, but no such charges were recorded during your booking. Promised Facilities: All amenities mentioned in your booking are provided as per listing. If you faced any issue, it would have been helpful to bring it to our attention during your stay so we could have resolved it on the spot. Food Timings: We clearly mention our kitchen timings in our property description. Post 10 PM, like most hill station properties, our kitchen closes due to local restrictions and staff shifts. Location: Our property is located slightly uphill, which is common in scenic hill areas. We welcome genuine reviews

    The location is beautiful but the road connectivity is pathetic. To reach the location you have to be physically fit. Very steep road.. only way to get there is your own foot.. Rest all is average, rooms are not so clean.. average washroom

    Dear Mr Laskar , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad you appreciated the beautiful location, we sincerely regret that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We understand that the road access can be challenging, especially due to the steep approach, and we’re actively exploring solutions to make the journey more comfortable for our guests. Your comments about the room and washroom cleanliness have also been noted, and we are addressing this with our housekeeping team to ensure higher standards moving forward. Your feedback is extremely valuable as it helps us improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a better experience. Warm regards, The Nest Rooftop

    Terrible Stay

    shetal r.family

    Location was good, but services of this hotel was completely pathetic. Staff was not at all courteous. They have charged for two nights and given zero services. Even basic thing like water was also not provided to us and we were charged MRP on mineral water. On the day of check out no staff helped us in getting our luggage from hotel to cab. Really unhappy with overall experience at this hotel.

    Dear Ms Razdan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced during your stay. What you’ve described is far from the level of service we aim to provide. We regret that our team did not meet your expectations in terms of courtesy and support, and we are especially concerned about the lack of basic services such as water and assistance during checkout. Please be assured that we are taking this feedback very seriously and are addressing it internally to ensure such lapses do not occur again. Your experience is not reflective of the standards we strive for, and we’re committed to making the necessary improvements. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the level of hospitality you rightfully expected. Warm regards, The Nest Rooftop
