The Hive, Nainital

The Hive is an ancient cottage that has been converted into a hostelry of four suites. The owner lives on the first floor, so the guest's needs are promptly attended to. Away from the din and crowds of Nainital, this is an ideal place for a secluded, restful and quiet holiday.

The rooms are very comfortable; all modern amenities are available. The cuisine is excellent and staff very courteous. The rates are reasonable. There is enough parking space (something of a premium in Nainital); one has to be skillful driver to negotiate the steep and tortuous incline.
Plenty of secure parking space
The only wildlife that we saw was a troupe of marauding langurs rampaging across with trees.

Although the Naini Lake is not visible from this place, there is a spectacular view of the deodar-pine covered hill across the valley.

In conclusion, when in Nainital, The Hive is an superb place to stay.
