8/10 Good

"Our room was not with a view."

Namah Nainital, a member of Radisson Individuals Retreats

8/10 Good

"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"
