Moustache Bhimtal Luxuria, Nainital

I recently spent two nights at Moustache Bhimtal Luxuria in Nainital, drawn in by the charming photos and the promise of a peaceful mountain escape. While the property itself is well-maintained, clean, and the staff is genuinely courteous and helpful, my overall experience left much to be desired. Let’s start with the positives: The hotel interiors are neat, modern, and thoughtfully done. The hospitality was warm, and the check-in process was smooth. The staff made a sincere effort to ensure guests were comfortable—something I always appreciate while traveling. However, if you're booking a getaway in the hills hoping for scenic views and serenity, this might not be the right fit. The property is nestled in a residential neighborhood, and unfortunately, during my stay, there was a loud wedding celebration right next door. Think non-stop Bollywood music from early morning till 11 PM—both nights. So much for mountain peace. Another letdown was the so-called “forest view” room. In reality, what you get is a wall of trees just a few feet from your balcony, completely obstructing any distant view. There’s no panoramic landscape, no sweeping mountain vistas—just foliage up close. The photos on the booking site certainly oversell this aspect, which felt quite misleading. Also, worth mentioning: the approach road to the hotel is in poor condition. It’s not a deal-breaker for everyone, but something to keep in mind if you're arriving by car or expecting a scenic entrance. For me, the value for money simply wasn’t there. The lack of a proper view and the constant noise really dampened the overall experience. While the hotel does some things right, I wouldn’t consider returning or recommending it to those looking for a classic Himalayan retreat.

The is heaven, the rooms are very clean & cosie with a lovely balcony with table & chair to enjoy your tea & view, but also you have the view from your king size very comfortable bed made with nice clean linen & warm doona. The room has heating as it’s cool up here. The staff are helpful & attentive to ensure your happiness & comfort & the food is nice & a good price. Ensure you go for a walk & enjoy your surrounds Beautiful place for weekend break

The stay was wonderful. The property has a beautiful landscape basked in nature. The property team is very professional but corporative and flexible to guests' special requests at the same time. The best part is when birds surround the property in the morning creating peaceful, calm and happy vibe in the premises.
