I came back down to the action in Nainital after staying in the obscurity of the Shervani "where I had initialy booked" I had looked at the The Grand Hotel before going there as it just stood out as being in the most commanding of positions. For a hotel built in 1870 this place bears up admirably. Large comfortable rooms,... More

Thank you! Sorry about the parking, but with cars getting bigger and bigger and driver and security issues we were fighting a losing battle to preserve the ambience a 150 year old hotel deserves. As do you. We hope that your experience at the Grand will have been enhanced with this decision of ours. More

The Grand Hotel has the excellent location, that you can have a view of naini lake while lying on your bed in the room even. The Staff also have good service. The negative thing is that Hotel property is very old and construction & amenities seems to be of Britishers era. The food is taste wise OK but seems little... More

The location is the best in Nainital and you can enjoy the lake and mall road from the balcony itself. The rooms are spacious and clean. They have limited options in the restaurant and for lunch and dinner you have to order well in advance. Food quality is not bad, we have tried their special chicken roast and other preparations...

Everything people say about the view of the lake are true - the hotel is ideally placed. A group of us visited in November and wethought we were prepared and ordered a heater for the room. However, the rooms are huge and the two bar heater we were eventually given was almost useless. The huge bathroom was like a fridge.... More

I visited Nainital in July 2012. The hotel is located in the center of mall road, right next to the lake. Beautiful property. Very specious and well maintained. Its a heritage hotel, so the furniture is old and lack the comfort but it has the best view of the lake. Peaceful Ambience, so its good for family and couples. Its... More

The best part of this hotel is its location-bang on the lake and on the mall road and i believe no other hotel can match this. I stayed in Oct 2012 on the 1st floor Family Suite (Room No. 23). I booked around 1.5 months earlier but the management never bothered to revert back even after 2 emails, however they... More

The Hotel happens to be about 400 mtrs away from the mosque with the added benefit of two foot thick heritage walls to keep out most sound. Further measures would involve a relocation of either the hotel or the mosque, for which we find ourselves unequal to the task. More

The Grand, Nainital is located at Mall Road and very close proximity to Naini Lake. Inspite of located at the mall, it is free from the hustle and bustle due to the way it is designed. Most of the local attractions such as the Lake, Boat Jetty, Naini Temple, Barra Bazaar, cable car etc. are all at walking distance. The... More
