Swiss Hotel by Shivraj Nainital

I went to this hotel again on 19-22/04/0204. Earlier we went there in 2017. Some part of it has changed, like entrance has changed. See old videos here and compare with new videos/ pics I’m posting today. But the beauty and charm of this place is the same. The stay here in 2017 was a memory we cherished, and we renewed the charm again. The hotel is located near high court and the way is little steep, little far from mall road but if you want a peaceful stay then hotels here are the best choices. And Swiss Cottage is one of the best. More because of the caring staff and wonderful owner. Every moment during the stay was a moment of bliss. You can take a bike on rent if you are not having any vehicle. Food is delicious. Do try fresh lime soda. I loved it here 😍. I requested for bonfire but both when I returned the bonfire was already on 😁😁 so I played my music on the speakers provided by the hotel… I cannot tell how much I enjoyed that time. The hotels near mall road may be little costlier and they provide lesser space in rooms. The rooms here are spacious. And the facade is beautiful. I will go on to express my love for this place but it’s better you see the photos and try to imagine the love in this place.. visit to experience 🥰. Good wishes .. enjoy life. Enjoy Nainital .. I love Nainital 🥰🥰
Rooms
The rooms are of heritage properties so not having modern interiors but furnishings are good and very pleasant. Most of the hotels in Nainital would provide similar interiors. Fire place is also there. (Ours was the heritage room so other rooms may be different. Please check before finalising)
Nearby activities
Not much is there in close proximity to this hotel but that would happen everywhere. Not everything would be nearby. However cave garden is nearby but I think it’s not the worth to spend ticket of Rs 100 there. (I didn’t go inside it). High court is about 100 metres away. And mall is little far. Hotel may help by providing cab. I had my own cab so didn’t face any problem.
Walkability
Roads are steep but walkable. Locals walk easily but oldies of delhi may find it difficult.
Food & drinks
Enjoy lovely food and drinks. If the weather is cold, get bonfire and enjoy music. Enough options of food and drinks available.
Noteworthy details
To go anywhere and come back isn’t for old people due to steep road. However still old people visit here 😁😁. Mall road is little far but for youngsters it’s nothing… you may enjoy the walk. Sabji mandi and market is on the road. Fresh Sabji (vegetables) are available in the morning 7-11 am.

Luxury, Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Kid-friendly, Great value

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Swiss Cottage Hotel in Nainital, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the friendly and welcoming staff at Swiss Cottage Hotel made me feel right at home. Their warm hospitality and attentive service added a personal touch to my stay, and I was consistently impressed by their dedication to ensuring guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

First This is not swiss hotel, its swiss cottage. Swiss hotel is adjacent to this and hotel is a premium property. Cottage management is using name of hotel to misguide travellers.
No view from room.
Receptionist lied that no better room is getting vacant but actually it was. when other travellers checked out, the room was given to us only after repeated efforts.
management promised guitarist/singer in evening. didn't arrange.
blinds between room and bathroom were not working fine. thats another negative for families. may be good for couples only.
hotel didn't have arrangement of taxi from hotel to mall. not even on payment. its not walkable.

We stayed in Swiss cottage. It was very lovely & the food was delicious. These cottages are based at mallital near High Court. Beautiful scenic view can be seen from the room & walking distance to mall road is 10 mins. The staff is very friendly, very cooperative & helpful. I stayed here for 2 days., It was an awesome and lifetime experience. Definitely, when I will plan again to stay in Nainital I am gonna plan for Swiss cottage. This hotel has amazing interiors, with a vintage touch. There is a beautiful open garden restaurant and cafe where you can enjoy your coffee and meals. I loved the service. The food is excellent. One of the best places to stay at Nainital.
