Zostel Plus Nainital (Naina Range)

Zostel plus Nainital is an amazing choice for those looking for quiet & offbeat stay in Nainital. I can't think of any property having a better view of himalayan range! Overall, the place isn't far from the tourist places but coming & going to the main road is a 25min hike away. Going to Zostel from main road is a downhill path hence relatively easier to do. Coming up is a good cardio session. The very fact that it is 1km into the jungle makes it a perfect stay for someone looking to relax and enjoy the pin drop silence looking at the amazing view of Trishul and Nandadevi peaks. Don't come if you plan to visit the mall road area frequently. Many people come to the property without knowing about the 1km hike and then get disappointed. Please ignore such reviews posted online. The place is totally worth it if you're prepared to hike for 25mins. Parking is on the main road in the open. Zostel sends a staff to fetch your backpacks/luggage to and from the main road to the property. Food is a little overpriced. We paid approx 2500 for 4 people for a 1 night stay & we are light eaters.

Well, its going to be a long one. I would rate the property good. The only reason why it wont be excellent for me will be the trek. So when you book the property, the only section they tell you about the trek is in the property details that too in the very end. Yes it is a scenic trek, but for those who love trekking (or fit for trekking. The property did call us to check if we are ok with a 1km trek to the property but didnt mention the level of difficulty. So this property is amazing, the food here is great, we had the fortune to meet two lovely kids (mountain dogs) gab-bar & casper, all of it if you are like a 6/10 or above in trekking. Because we cancel-led a whole day’s plan because we didnt wanted to take the trek going and coming back. And not to mention the time restriction. We had to be back by 5:30 pm post which the trek becomes nearly impossible. Also, the do provide a porter who is technically human hulk for your luggage.

Location was a bit offstream, had to trek for a kilometre downhill to reach the place. They provided parking as well as porter facility at the location where we started the trek from. Advisable to reach the property in the daylight since the trek passes through the forest and isn’t safe at night. A great and fun experience before reaching itself. Had dinner at the property which was satisfactory. Booked a room (not the dorm). Cleanliness was top notch. Seemed like a new property. Great ambience and was surely a worthy stay. Also, loved waking up to the sight of Himalayan view from the room.

Zostel plus nainital (naina range) is a very amazing place. Early in the morning, you get the view of the mountain directly from the windows of your room, which is the most amazing thing about this place. The only problem at this place is that the time to travel from nainital is from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. After that, it is very difficult to reach this place because it is inside a forest and after reaching the Zostel Plus Nainital (Naina Range), there is a tough time in the forest. No light available inside

Zostel is pure bliss! The place is so calm, with jaw-dropping views of hills and sunsets that just melt your stress away. The staff? Super friendly, especially Ravindra and Maharudra, who helped with everything—local tips, you name it, he’s got you covered. Last but definitely not the least, the food, every bite was packed with flavor, totally hit the spot. Loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Location of property was mesmerising, we need to walk for 20 min in forest to reach at Zostel Plus Nainital (Naina Range) location and way to Zostel Plus Nainital (Naina Range) and view from Zostel Plus Nainital (Naina Range) are breathtaking. Food was like home cooked meal so we liked that so much. Property is ideal who love to stay at secluded places.

It was a wonderful experience. I loved your aloo paratha and double-shot coffee, as well as the room with a mountain view. Highly Recommended only if you can trek 🤣

Cottages are beautiful on the hill top. Food was excellent and as good as home cooked. Staff was very helpful and courtious. Thanks, Manish, Ravindra, Kishore and Maharudra aka Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Excellent property location with beautiful views of himalayas. Had an amazing stay and absolutely loved the food. Price was worth considering the portion size of food and location of property.

Property and location was superb

There's a 500-600m Hike to the property..but believe me every step is worth. the location, accomodation, services, staff behaviour and especially FOOD, everything was AWESOME. Definitely worth every penny. I'd like to visit again. thankyou

It was wonderful staying in zostal and view was amazing

Food, amenities and room service was great. The location of the property was a bit difficult as around 1.5 km of trekking was required but the view from my room was breathtaking. Combined with services the experience was too good

Property was great and hospitality was too good.
