The Palace Belvedere Nainital By Royal Collection Hotels

The deluxe room given to us was very small as compared to other deluxe room. It was not upto the mark. It has interconnecting door between rooms which was very troublesome due to the noise from other room. Problem with electricity. Geyser was also not working properly and we had to get bucket of hot water. Staff was also uncooperative. Very pathetic service.

Nothing

Everything

Nice heritage hotel with huge rooms with high ceilings. Very central with lake view.

Hotel is more than century old, it’s not what picture shows. For Indians visiting it’s fine for foreigners it is not up to the standards specially the bathroom. Unfortunately this is the best in Nainital. Under the circumstances being very old the hotel needs total renovation. Service, food and certain amenities were good.

This colonial style hotel oozed faded opulence. I loved the building. I went for the cheapest room which was comfortable and clean. More expensive rooms had excellent views and sofas. The food was good, with outstanding waiter service. The location was hard to find, get your driver to ring the hotel for directions. Nainital is cold, so ask for a heater if necessary and leave your key at reception for room service. Watchout for monkeys on your windowsill. The terraced area is perfect for brunch/lunch/ tea. There is parking for your car/driver.

They will ask for prepayment deposit, it may be through text or Whatsapp or email. When sending an international payment via bank, obtain their details from the website or via whatsapp etc.. They do accept UPI payments if you can do that. NOTE your name and the hotel as a reference on your bank transfer, so they can identify it. Choose the options carefully when making the payment, I think there were 6 options ,none seemed wholly appropriate. That said, they received my deposit from England, it took around a week to filter through. All good.

Property is good , very good view in super deluxe lake view room, staff was very nice and friendly, very polite

Situated at very steep locations

Ambience and location

We ordered vegetarian food and we were served non-vegetarian food. After that a waiter came twice to our room requesting please have something. When he came for the second time, we told him to friend rice and Manchurian. Even after serving non vegetarian food to us who are pure vegetarians, no one was bothered and we were billed the amount for three.
